[0033] For a thorough understanding of the disclosure, detailed steps and detailed structures will be set forth in the following description below with reference to the following drawings. The preferred embodiments of the disclosure are described in detail below, however, the disclosure can have other embodiments in addition to those described.

[0034] As described in the background, the packaging structure in the prior art still has many problems. The following will be specifically described with reference to the drawings.

[0035] With the increasing integration of chips, the heat generated also increases, and the traditional air cooling method has been difficult to meet the demand of efficient heat dissipation. Therefore, the micro-channel liquid cooling heat dissipation technology emerges as the times require. This heat dissipation technology uses liquid (usually water or special cooling liquid) to flow through the micro-channel on the surface of the chip to take away the heat. With the development of chip stacking technology, the number of stacked layers of the chip structure is increasing, and the heat under the chip structure is more and more difficult to dissipate from the surface of the chip structure. The silicon-based flow channel bonding scheme is usually suitable for top inlet and outlet liquid structure and cannot dissipate heat from the bottom of the chip structure.

[0036] At the same time, the inlet and outlet pipes and the inlet and outlet of the micro-channel are temporarily sealed by adhesion or rubber gasket, which cannot meet the long-term use reliability requirement, and cannot match the existing packaging process requirement, and cannot be mass produced.

[0037] On this basis, the application provides a packaging structure and a forming method thereof. The driving substrate has a first liquid flow channel 4011 therein, the driving substrate is bonded with the chip structure to form a second liquid flow channel, the first liquid flow channel and the second liquid flow channel are communicated through the bonding frame to form a complete liquid flow channel structure. The liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe are respectively communicated with the liquid inlet port and the liquid outlet port of the driving substrate to provide a convenient docking mode. Moreover, the liquid inlet pipe and the driving substrate, and the liquid outlet pipe and the driving substrate are fixedly bonded by the underfill adhesive to meet the sealing reliability requirement of long-term use. The complete liquid flow channel structure forming and the fixed connection of the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe can match the existing packaging process requirement, and thus mass production can be realized. The cooling liquid is circulated through the second liquid flow channel to dissipate heat from the bottom of the chip structure, and the circulation of the cooling liquid also flows through the first liquid flow channel in the driving substrate to dissipate heat for the driving substrate.

[0038] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0039] Figures 1 to 11 is a structural schematic diagram of each step of the forming method of the packaging structure in the embodiment of the application.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present application, the steps of the forming method of the packaging structure can be processes implemented on a wafer, on a single-layer chip, or on a multi-layer stacked chip. In a preferred embodiment, the steps of the forming method of the packaging structure are processes implemented on a multi-layer stacked chip.

[0041] Referring to Figure 1 , a wafer (not shown) is provided, and the wafer is provided with a plurality of chip structures 100.

[0042] In this embodiment, the chip structure 100 is a multi-layer stacked chip, which includes one logic chip 101 and four memory chips 102 (e.g., DRAM1, DRAM2, DRAM3, and DRAM4), and the five chips are stacked in sequence and supported by a support substrate 103.

[0043] In other embodiments, the chip structure can include more than or less than five chips, and the types of the chips can be flexibly selected based on actual needs.

[0044] Referring to Figure 2 , an electrical interconnection layer is formed on the surface of the chip structure 100 away from the support substrate 103, and the electrical interconnection layer is electrically connected to the chip structure 100.

[0045] In this embodiment, the step of forming the electrical interconnection layer includes forming a plurality of pads 201 on the chip structure 100, and the pads 201 are electrically connected to the chip structure 100.

[0046] In this embodiment, the step of forming the electrical interconnection layer further includes forming a dielectric layer 202 on the chip structure 100, the dielectric layer 202 is located on the surface of the chip structure 100 and covers the pads 201; forming a passivation layer 203 on the dielectric layer 202; and forming a buffer layer 204 on the passivation layer 203; wherein the dielectric layer 302, the passivation layer 203, and the buffer layer 204 expose part of the surface of the pads 201.

[0047] In this embodiment, the pads 201 are formed by first depositing a material layer (not shown) to form the pads 201, and then performing a pattern etching process on the material layer to form the pads 201; and the dielectric layer 202, the passivation layer 203, and the buffer layer 204 are also formed by first depositing a corresponding material layer (not shown) to form the dielectric layer 202, the passivation layer 203, and the buffer layer 204, and then performing a pattern etching process on the material layer to form the dielectric layer 202, the passivation layer 203, and the buffer layer 204.

[0048] In this embodiment, the materials of the dielectric layer 202, the passivation layer 203 and the buffer layer 204 are all insulating materials, wherein the material of the dielectric layer 202 can be silicon oxide, the material of the passivation layer 203 can be silicon nitride, and the material of the buffer layer 204 can be polyimide.

[0049] In this embodiment, after the formation of the electrical interconnection layer, a plurality of bonding bumps and a bonding frame are formed on the surface of the electrical interconnection layer, the bonding bumps are electrically connected with the electrical interconnection layer, and the bonding bumps are electrically connected with the chip structure 100 through the electrical interconnection layer. For details of the formation process, please refer to Figures 3 to 7 .

[0050] Please refer to Figure 3 , an adhesion layer 301 and a seed layer 302 on the adhesion layer 301 are formed on the surface of the chip structure 100.

[0051] In this embodiment, the adhesion layer 301 is formed on the surfaces of the exposed pads 201, the dielectric layer 202, the passivation layer 203 and the buffer layer 204 by a sputtering process or other metal deposition process.

[0052] In this embodiment, the material of the adhesion layer 301 can be titanium or titanium tungsten.

[0053] In this embodiment, the seed layer 302 is formed on the adhesion layer 301 by a sputtering process.

[0054] In this embodiment, the material of the seed layer 302 is copper.

[0055] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the adhesion layer 301 and the seed layer 302 are the prepared under bump metallization (UBM) before the formation of the bonding bumps and the bonding frame. The under bump metallization is a metal transition layer between the pads 201 and the bonding bumps, which mainly plays the role of adhesion and diffusion barrier.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a top view of a plurality of patterned openings in the photoresist layer. After the formation of the adhesion layer 301 and the seed layer 302, a photoresist layer 303 is formed on the electrical interconnection layer, and the photoresist layer 303 has a plurality of patterned openings 304.

[0057] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the process steps for forming the photoresist layer 303 include coating, pre-baking, exposure, development, and post-baking. Due to the many influencing factors of thick photoresist lithography, thick photoresist coating requires the use of photoresist material that meets the rheology, supporting spin coating single operation thickness of 40-100 μm. In order to improve the verticality of the bonding bumps and the bonding frame sidewalls formed subsequently, the thickness of the photoresist layer 303 needs to be greater than the height of the bonding bumps and the bonding frame, and the photoresist material with a thickness of about 80 μm or more is coated at one time.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 7 is a top view of the bonding bumps and the bonding frame, and the bonding bumps 305 and the bonding frame 306 are formed in the corresponding patterned openings 304; after the bonding bumps 305 and the bonding frame 306 are formed, the photoresist layer 303 is removed.

[0059] In this embodiment, the bonding bumps 305 are electrically connected to the corresponding pads 201, i.e., the bonding bumps 305 are electrically connected to the electrical interconnection layer.

[0060] In this embodiment, the electroplating process is used to form the bonding bumps 305 and the bonding frame 306 in the corresponding patterned openings 304.

[0061] In this embodiment, the materials of the bonding bumps 305 and the bonding frame 306 are both copper.

[0062] In this embodiment, the bonding bumps 305 and the bonding frame 306 are formed simultaneously to simplify the process and improve the efficiency of the process.

[0063] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the bonding bumps 305 and the pads 201 have electrical connection, which is used for electrical signal transmission; the bonding frame 306 is a ring-shaped frame structure, which does not need to bear the role of electrical connection, and is used as a support and fixing role when connecting with the subsequent driving substrate, and as a connection pipeline for cooling liquid flow. The height of the formed bonding bumps 305 and the bonding frame 306 needs to be consistent so that the driving substrate can be bonded and connected simultaneously subsequently.

[0064] In this embodiment, after the bonding bumps 305 and the bonding frame 306 are formed, the surface thereof can also be subjected to electroplated nickel treatment to form a uniform nickel barrier layer (not shown), which prevents the diffusion of copper and improves the solderability. After the formation of the nickel barrier layer, a solder layer (not shown) is electroplated on the surface thereof for the subsequent soldering step.

[0065] In other embodiments, the nickel barrier layer is selected to be electroplated or omitted according to application requirements. In some copper pillar products, the nickel barrier layer can be directly omitted.

[0066] In this embodiment, the photoresist layer 303 can be removed by using chemical solvents or plasma cleaning.

[0067] Please continue to refer to Figure 6 After the photoresist layer 303 is removed, the seed layer 302 and the adhesion layer 301 exposed on the surface of the electrical interconnection layer are removed.

[0068] In this embodiment, the etching liquid is used to remove the excess adhesion layer 301 and the seed layer 302, and ensure that the etching liquid does not damage the bonding bumps 305, the bonding frame 306, and the solder layer that have been formed.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 8 A driving substrate 400 is provided, the driving substrate 400 has a first liquid channel 401 therein, and the surface of the driving substrate 400 exposes an inlet 4011 and an outlet 4012 of the first liquid channel 401.

[0070] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the surface of the driving substrate 400 also has bonding point positions corresponding to the bonding bumps 305 and the bonding frame 306, wherein the bonding point positions for bonding with the bonding frame 306 do not have the function of electrical connection, and are only used to fix the connection between the bonding frame 306 and the driving substrate 400 after the bonding.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 9 The chip structure 100 is flipped and bonded with the driving substrate 400, the driving substrate 400 is bonded and connected with the bonding bumps 305 and the bonding frame 306 respectively, the second liquid channel 402 is formed between the chip structure 100 and the driving substrate 400 after the bonding and connection, and the bonding frame 306 is in communication with the first liquid channel 401, specifically, the bonding frame 306 is in communication with the inlet 4011 and the outlet 4012 of the first liquid channel 401 as a connecting pipeline.

[0072] In this embodiment, the temperature during the bonding is usually set at about 245°C, and the bonding bump 305 and the bonding frame 306 are melted to form a stable connection with the driving substrate 400. The bonding frame 306 is connected to the first liquid flow channel 401 inside the driving substrate 400 as a connecting pipe, so that the first liquid flow channel 401 and the second liquid flow channel 402 form a complete liquid flow channel structure. In this embodiment, the cooling liquid is circulated through the second liquid flow channel 402, which can dissipate heat from the chip structure 100 from the bottom.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 10 The encapsulation layer 500 is formed to cover the chip structure 100, the electrical interconnection layer, the bonding bump 305, the bonding frame 306, and part of the driving substrate 400.

[0074] In this embodiment, the encapsulation layer 500 wraps the support substrate 103 of the chip structure 100. In another embodiment, a thinning process is performed to remove the encapsulation layer material on the top of the chip structure 100 until the support substrate 103 is exposed, which is more conducive to the subsequent heat dissipation of the chip structure 100. In an embodiment, the thinning process can use a chemical mechanical polishing process.

[0075] In this embodiment, the material of the encapsulation layer 500 is epoxy molding compound. It is a commonly used semiconductor packaging material, mainly used to protect the chip structure 100 from physical damage, chemical corrosion, and environmental factors; at the same time, it can fully fill the gap of the device, which helps to improve the reliability and stability of the device. By heating the epoxy resin and other materials to a molten state and then injecting them, the encapsulation layer 500 is formed after cooling and solidification to enhance the stability of the connection and protect the solder joints.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 11 After the encapsulation layer 500 is formed, the reinforcing ring 600 is bonded to the driving substrate 400, which surrounds the chip structure 100, the electrical interconnection layer, the bonding bump 305, and the bonding frame 306.

[0077] In this embodiment, the main function of the reinforcing ring 600 is to increase the mechanical strength of the packaging structure, and at the same time, it can suppress the warping phenomenon that occurs during packaging.

[0078] Please continue to refer to Figure 11The liquid inlet pipe 701 and the liquid outlet pipe 702 are provided; the liquid inlet pipe 701 and the driving substrate 400 and the liquid outlet pipe 702 and the driving substrate 400 are fixed and bonded based on the underfill adhesive 800, and the liquid inlet pipe 701 is communicated with the liquid inlet 4011 after the fixing and bonding, and the liquid outlet pipe 702 is communicated with the liquid outlet 4012.

[0079] The first liquid flow channel 4011 in the driving substrate 400 and the second liquid flow channel 402 formed by bonding the driving substrate 400 and the chip structure 100 are communicated through the bonding frame 306 as a connecting pipeline to form a complete liquid flow channel structure. The liquid inlet pipe 701 and the liquid outlet pipe 702 are respectively communicated with the liquid inlet 4011 and the liquid outlet 4012 of the driving substrate 400 to provide a convenient docking mode. Moreover, the liquid inlet pipe 701 and the driving substrate 400 and the liquid outlet pipe 702 and the driving substrate 400 are fixed and bonded by the underfill adhesive 800 to meet the sealing reliability requirements for long-term use. The complete liquid flow channel structure formation and the fixed connection of the liquid inlet pipe 701 and the liquid outlet pipe 702 can match the requirements of the existing packaging process, and thus mass production can be realized. In addition, the circulating cooling liquid also flows through the first liquid flow channel 401 in the driving substrate 400, which can also dissipate heat for the driving substrate 500.

[0080] It should be noted that the underfill adhesive 800 is an epoxy resin material used to fill the gap, which aims to enhance the mechanical stability and improve the thermal stress resistance. The process flow generally includes three steps of dispensing, pre-curing and full curing to fill the gap and enhance the reliability of the connection.

[0081] In this embodiment, before the reinforcing ring 600 is bonded on the driving substrate 400, the reinforcing ring 600 is also subjected to opening treatment; the liquid inlet pipe 701 and the liquid outlet pipe 702 are fixedly connected with the driving substrate 400 by penetrating the reinforcing ring 600. By penetrating the reinforcing ring 600 with the liquid inlet pipe 701 and the liquid outlet pipe 702, the reinforcing ring 600 can provide more stable limiting for the liquid inlet pipe 701 and the liquid outlet pipe 702, thereby effectively reducing the problem of liquid leakage caused by loosening of the bonding position of the liquid inlet pipe 701 and the liquid outlet pipe 702 with the driving substrate 400.

[0082] It should be noted that in the embodiment, since the reinforcing ring 600, the liquid inlet pipe 701 and the liquid outlet pipe 702 have formed an integral structure before being fixedly bonded with the driving substrate 400, the underfill adhesive simultaneously fixes the reinforcing ring 600, the liquid inlet pipe 701 and the liquid outlet pipe 702 with the driving substrate 400.

[0083] In other embodiments, the reinforcing ring, the liquid inlet pipe and the liquid outlet pipe can also adopt an integrally formed structure.
