Abstract
Description

[0002] Traditional packaging technology first cuts the wafer into individual chips, and then packages the individual chips one by one. This packaging method is inefficient and costly. Wafer-level packaging (WLP) is an advanced packaging technology currently used by discrete devices.

WLP has the advantages of smaller package size, higher efficiency, short production cycle, low process cost, and easier integration. Therefore, WLP packaging currently has great advantages in the field of discrete devices and module integrated devices.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0059] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0060] The wafer-level packaging method using a glass cover plate proposed in the embodiment of the present invention is suitable for wafer-level packaging with a cavity structure, such as packaging of a surface acoustic wave filter chip, and is conducive to simplifying the packaging process and improving packaging efficiency and packaging reliability.
[0061] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 The wafer-level packaging method using a glass cover plate mainly includes the following steps:
[0062] S1: Provide a combination of a carrier plate 1 and a glass cover plate layer 3. A first groove 4 and a second groove 5 are provided at intervals on a side of the glass cover plate layer 3 away from the carrier plate 1. The depth of the first groove 4 is less than the thickness of the glass cover plate layer 3, and the second groove 5 penetrates the glass cover plate layer 3 in the thickness direction.
[0063] Optionally, step S1 is implemented by including step S11, step S12, step S13 and step S14.
[0064] Step S11: providing a carrier 1. The carrier 1 may be an organic carrier.
[0065] Step S12: pasting the adhesive film layer 2 on the carrier board 1.
[0066] Step S13: Paste the glass cover layer 3 on the adhesive film layer 2. The glass cover layer 3 is fixed on the carrier 1 through the adhesive film layer 2 to form an integral structure of the carrier 1 and the glass cover layer 3.
[0067] Step S14: forming the first groove 4 and the second groove 5 spaced apart on the glass cover layer 3. The first groove 4 and the second groove 5 can be formed by etching, sandblasting or laser grooving. The depth of the first groove 4 is shallower, and the depth of the first groove 4 is less than the thickness of the glass cover layer 3. The first groove 4 is used to accommodate the chip 6 and form a cavity structure above the chip 6. It should be noted that the depth of the first groove 4 is used to form a cavity structure to ensure that the chip can fully exert its function, such as ensuring that the surface acoustic wave filter chip has good filtering performance. Therefore, the depth of the first groove 4 can be flexibly designed according to the size specifications and types of the actual chip. Optionally, the depth of the first groove 4 accounts for 20% to 80% of the thickness of the glass cover layer 3. For example, the ratio of the depth of the first groove 4 to the thickness of the glass cover layer 3 is about 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, etc., which is not specifically limited here. The second groove 5 is deeper, and the depth of the second groove 5 is equal to the thickness of the glass cover layer 3 , that is, the second groove 5 penetrates the glass cover layer 3 . The second groove 5 is used to form a separation groove between adjacent chips 6 .
[0068] In some implementations, the first groove 4 and the second groove 5 may be formed on the glass cover layer 3 before bonding the glass cover layer 3 to the carrier 1. This is not specifically limited here.
[0069] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 4 Step S2: Provide a wafer with a plurality of chips 6. The wafer can be silicon Si, lithium tantalate LiTaO 3 or lithium niobate LiNbO 3 A single crystal or composite thin film crystal formed of semiconductor materials such as . Among them, a cutting path 10 is formed between adjacent chips 6. Each chip 6 includes a functional area 9 and a metal interconnection layer 8 extending outward from the functional area 9. Here, extending outward means extending from the functional area 9 to the cutting path 10. The metal interconnection layer 8 is used to connect the circuit of the functional area 9 and the pins outside the package.
[0070] Combination Figure 5 , Figure 6Step S3: forming a bonding adhesive 11 on the glass cover layer 3 and / or the chip 6, so that the glass cover layer 3 is covered on the wafer through the bonding adhesive 11. The functional area 9 is located in the first groove 4, which can effectively protect the functional area 9 of the chip 6. The cutting road 10 is located in the second groove 5; the bonding adhesive 11 is located between the first groove 4 and the second groove 5, and covers part of the metal interconnect layer 8.
[0071] It can be understood that the bonding glue 11 can be formed on the glass cover layer 3 or on the wafer. Alternatively, the bonding glue 11 is formed on the glass cover layer 3 and the wafer respectively. As long as the bonding fixation of the glass cover layer 3 and the wafer can be achieved. In this embodiment, the bonding glue 11 is formed on the wafer, so that the dispensing accuracy is higher, and the bonding glue 11 can be effectively prevented from entering the functional area 9 of the chip 6 to contaminate the functional area 9 and reduce the performance of the chip 6.
[0072] Optionally, the chip 6 includes a coating area 7, and the coating area 7 is located between the functional area 9 and the cutting path 10. The glass cover layer 3 includes a supporting side wall 31 located between the first groove 4 and the second groove 5. The bonding glue 11 can be formed on at least one of the bottom of the supporting side wall 31 and the coating area 7. The following description takes the formation of the bonding glue 11 on the coating area 7 as an example.
[0073] A bonding glue 11 is coated on the coating area 7 of the chip 6, and then the side of the glass cover layer 3 away from the carrier 1 is fixed on the wafer through the bonding glue 11. Among them, the bonding glue 11 can be a solid glue. The coating area 7 includes an inner circle and an outer circle, and the distance between the inner circle and the outer circle is the width of the coating area 7; the inner circle and the outer circle are both located on the metal interconnection layer 8. In other words, the width of the coating area 7 is less than the extension length of the metal interconnection layer 8. In this way, after the glass cover layer 3 and the wafer are bonded, a part of the metal interconnection layer 8 is located in the first groove 4, and a part is located in the second groove 5. This arrangement is conducive to the subsequent formation of a conductive layer 12 electrically connected to the metal interconnection layer 8 on the glass cover layer 3.
[0074] Optionally, the width of the supporting sidewall 31 is substantially equal to the width of the coating area 7. The width of the bonding glue 11 is not greater than the width of the coating area 7 or the supporting sidewall 31. In this way, a sealed connection can be achieved, the connection is reliable, and the risk of excessive glue contaminating the functional area 9 of the chip 6 can be reduced.
[0075] Combination Figure 7 , step S4: removing the carrier 1. Optionally, the carrier 1 is removed after the bonding adhesive 11 is hardened and stabilized. For example, the carrier 1 can be removed by grinding. Alternatively, according to the characteristics of the film layer 2, the carrier 1 and the glass cover layer 3 can be peeled off by chemical cleaning, heating, or light. At this time, the film layer 2 is also removed. The peeled carrier 1 can also be reused to reduce packaging costs.
[0076] Optionally, after removing the carrier 1, the surface of the glass cover layer 3 needs to be cleaned to remove organic residues on the surface. This step includes but is not limited to cleaning the upper surface and side surfaces of the glass cover layer 3 so that the conductive layer 12 subsequently formed on the surface has better bonding strength to prevent detachment and delamination.
[0077] Combination Figure 8 Step S5: forming a conductive layer 12 on the side wall of the second groove 5 of the glass cover layer 3 and on the side surface of the glass cover layer 3 away from the wafer, and the conductive layer 12 is electrically connected to the metal interconnection layer 8. That is, metallization is performed on the upper surface and side surface of the glass cover layer 3 to form the conductive layer 12, so as to lead the metal interconnection layer 8 to the top of the glass cover layer 3.
[0078] Optionally, the conductive layer 12 includes multiple metal layers to improve the bonding force and the conductive performance. In this embodiment, multiple metal layers are sequentially formed on the side wall of the second groove 5 of the glass cover layer 3 and the surface of the glass cover layer 3 on the side away from the wafer. The surface metallization can be performed by evaporation to form the conductive layer 12, and the evaporation method is efficient and low in cost. The multiple metal layers include four layers, which are an aluminum layer, a copper layer, a titanium layer and a gold layer formed in sequence, and the aluminum layer is in contact with the surface of the glass cover. This arrangement can not only improve the bonding force and the conductive performance, but also improve the heat dissipation performance.
[0079] Of course, in some other embodiments, the conductive layer 12 may also be a one-layer, two-layer, three-layer, five-layer or more-layer structure. The conductive material of each layer is not limited, and may be a single metal or an alloy. The metallization method for forming the conductive layer 12 may also be electroplating, sputtering or conductive film pasting, which is not specifically limited here.
[0080] Combination Fig. 9 Step S6: forming an electrical connection terminal 13 on the conductive layer 12. Optionally, the electrical connection terminal 13 may be a bump or a solder ball, etc., which may be implemented by a conventional ball implantation process. Finally, the wafer is cut along the cutting path 10 to form a single product. In this way, the wafer-level package with a cavity structure is completed.
[0081] In this embodiment, the organic carrier is bonded to the glass cover layer 3 through the adhesive film layer 2, and the glass cover layer 3 is grooved by sandblasting or laser technology to realize the cavity structure. After the groove is made on the glass cover layer 3, the chip 6 equipped with the circuit and the metal interconnection layer 8 is sealed and bonded to the glass cover layer 3 and the wafer through the bonding glue 11, so that the functional area 9 with the circuit structure that needs to be isolated and protected on the chip 6 corresponds to the first groove 4 on the glass cover layer 3, so that the more sensitive circuit structure is protected in the glass cover layer 3. After the glass cover layer 3 is bonded to the wafer as a whole, the carrier 1 on the glass cover layer 3 is peeled off to realize that each chip 6 has an independent accommodating cavity formed by a corresponding glass cover layer 3 on the entire wafer. Then, the metal evaporation technology is used to evaporate the metal conductive layer 12 on the top and side of the glass cover layer 3, so that the circuit of the bottom chip 6 is led out to the top of the glass cover layer 3 to realize the interconnection of the pins. Finally, solder bumps are made in the conductive layer 12 region on top of the glass cover layer 3 to form spherical electrical terminals 13 .
[0082] The embodiment of the present invention adopts the above process to realize the integration of the cavity structure, and enhances the sealing and structural strength of the wafer-level packaging structure without increasing the complexity and cost of the process. In addition, after the groove structure of the whole piece is realized on the glass cover layer 3, the embodiment of the present invention directly performs the bonding of multiple chips 6 and the groove cavity on the glass cover layer 3. During the entire process, there are very few process processes on the surface of the wafer, which greatly reduces the risk of damage to the circuit layer on the surface of the wafer during the packaging process, and improves the reliability of the packaging quality.
[0083] The embodiment of the present invention further provides a wafer-level packaging structure, which can be manufactured by using the wafer-level packaging method using a glass cover plate in the aforementioned embodiment.
[0084] Combination Fig.10 The wafer-level packaging structure includes a glass cover layer 3, a bonding glue 11, a chip 6, a bonding glue 11 and a conductive layer 12. The chip 6 includes a coating area 7, a functional area 9 and a metal interconnection layer 8. The glass cover layer 3 is provided with a first groove 4 and a supporting sidewall 31 forming the first groove 4. The bonding glue 11 is coated on the coating area 7 of the chip 6, and the side of the glass cover layer 3 having the first groove 4 is bonded toward the chip 6. The supporting sidewall 31 is bonded and fixed to the coating area 7 of the chip 6 by the bonding glue 11.
[0085] The functional area 9 of the chip 6 is located in the first groove 4. The cavity formed by the first groove 4 accommodates the functional area 9 of the chip 6 and effectively protects the functional area 9.
[0086] Optionally, the width of the coating area 7 is substantially equal to the width of the supporting sidewall 31. The width of the bonding glue 11 is not greater than the width of the coating area 7 or the width of the supporting sidewall 31. In this way, a sealed connection can be achieved, the connection is reliable, and the risk of excessive glue contaminating the functional area 9 of the chip 6 can be reduced.
[0087] Optionally, the coating area 7 includes an inner circle and an outer circle, and the distance between the inner circle and the outer circle is the width of the coating area 7; the inner circle and the outer circle are both located on the metal interconnection layer 8. In other words, the width of the coating area 7 is less than the extension length of the metal interconnection layer 8. In this way, after the glass cover layer 3 and the chip 6 are bonded, a part of the metal interconnection layer 8 is located in the first groove 4, and the other part extends to the outside of the first groove 4 after passing through the coating area 7. This arrangement is conducive to the subsequent formation of a conductive layer 12 electrically connected to the metal interconnection layer 8 on the glass cover layer 3.
[0088] In this embodiment, a portion of the metal interconnection layer 8 of the chip 6 is located in the first groove 4, and the other portion extends along the bottom of the supporting side wall 31 to the outside of the first groove 4. The conductive layer 12 is provided on the side of the glass cover layer 3 away from the first groove 4, and the conductive layer 12 is electrically connected to the metal interconnection layer 8. Optionally, the conductive layer 12 is electrically connected to the portion of the metal interconnection layer 8 located outside the first groove 4. The conductive layer 12 extends along the side wall of the glass cover layer 3 to the upper surface. A bump or solder ball is provided on the conductive layer 12 located on the upper surface as an electrical connection terminal 13.
[0089] In summary, the wafer-level packaging method and wafer-level packaging structure using a glass cover provided by the present invention have the following beneficial effects:
[0090] The wafer-level packaging method using a glass cover plate provided by an embodiment of the present invention is particularly suitable for wafer-level packaging that requires the formation of a cavity structure. The glass cover plate has a high structural strength and is easy to process. The glass cover plate having a first groove 4 and a second groove 5 structure is bonded to the wafer so that the functional area 9 of the chip 6 is located in the cavity formed by the first groove 4, thereby realizing the packaging of the cavity structure. The process is simple, and the multi-layer support structure for preparing the cavity in the traditional process is omitted, so the process efficiency is higher and the cost is lower. In addition, the cavity structure and the cover plate are integrally formed, with good sealing, preventing detachment and delamination, and having higher packaging reliability. In addition, during the entire process, there are very few process steps on the surface of the wafer, which greatly reduces the risk of damage to the circuit layer on the surface of the wafer during the packaging process, which is beneficial to improving the packaging quality and yield rate.
