Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing, and relates to a 3DIC optoelectronic integrated semiconductor packaging structure and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology and the sharp increase in data traffic, integrated circuit packaging technology is moving towards low cost, high reliability, fast transmission and high-density circuits. The demand for data center interconnection bandwidth will continue to grow at an exponential rate. It is predicted that by 2030, data center energy consumption will continue to grow, and the global data center power consumption will exceed 3PWh, and in the worst case it may be as high as 8PWh. In order to meet the demand for Internet traffic, the bandwidth of data center nodes needs to reach 10Tb / s. In order to slow down the trend of data center energy consumption growth, it is necessary to find ways to reduce the power consumption of systems and devices.

[0003] The number of input / output (I / O) pins of each package structure doubles almost every 6 years, and the total I / O bandwidth doubles every 3 to 4 years. To solve the rate difference between the number of pins and the bandwidth, the I / O bandwidth needs to be increased. Light has the characteristics of low signal attenuation, low energy consumption, high bandwidth and compatibility with CMOS, which can directly affect the bandwidth and energy consumption of I / O. Therefore, in order to increase the I / O bandwidth and minimize energy consumption, it is necessary to introduce silicon photonics technology. Among them, the integration of light and electricity is crucial. How to combine and package optical integrated circuits (PICs) and electrical integrated circuits (EICs) is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0004] Most existing optoelectronic integrated semiconductor packaging structures directly bond the optical integrated chip and the electrical integrated chip to the substrate, and electrically connect them to the substrate through wire-bonds or flip-chip bonding. The direct signal transmission distance between the PIC and the EIC is too long.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a 3DIC optoelectronic integrated semiconductor packaging structure and its preparation method to achieve high-density integrated packaging of optical chips and electrical chips, shorten the transmission distance of each module, and reduce transmission power consumption has become an important problem that technical personnel in this field need to solve urgently.

[0118] The following will be combined Figures 3 to 17 , detailing the various steps of the method for preparing the 3DIC optoelectronic integrated semiconductor packaging structure of the present invention.

[0119] First see Figure 3 , perform step S1: provide a TSV substrate 21, form a first rewiring layer 23 on the first surface of the TSV substrate 21, a TSV metal column 22 is provided in the TSV substrate 21, the first surface of the TSV substrate 21 exposes the top of the TSV metal column 22, and the first rewiring layer 23 is electrically connected to the TSV metal column 22.

[0120] As an example, the TSV substrate 21 may include a wafer-level substrate of a size of 4 inches, 6 inches, 8 inches, 12 inches, etc., to further improve process efficiency, but the size of the TSV substrate 21 is not limited thereto.

[0121] As an example, the first rewiring layer 23 may be a rewiring layer using a Damascus process, including a dielectric layer and metal wiring embedded in the dielectric layer, wherein the material of the dielectric layer may include silicon oxide or silicon nitride, etc., and the material of the metal wiring may include copper, aluminum, etc. A smaller line width and line spacing can be obtained through the first rewiring layer 23 to meet subsequent high-density connection requirements. The material, number of layers, layout, preparation method, etc. of the first rewiring layer 23 can be selected as needed, and no excessive restrictions are made here.

[0122] Please refer to Figure 4 , execute the step S2: provide a first electrical chip 24 and a second electrical chip 25, and bond the first electrical chip 24 and the second electrical chip 25 to the first rewiring layer 23 so that the first electrical chip 24 and the second electrical chip 25 are electrically connected to the first rewiring layer 23 respectively.

[0123] As an example, the first electrical chip 24 includes an ASIC chip, and the ASIC chip can be used to stack the subsequent 3D chip 218 (such as Fig.15 ) is converted into an optical signal, but the type of the first electrical chip 24 is not limited thereto and can be selected according to needs.

[0124] As an example, the bonding replaces the traditional bump or solder ball interconnection by direct copper-to-copper connection, which can simplify the bonding interconnection process, reduce the size of the stack and package, reduce the power of the interconnection channel, and improve the heat dissipation capability.

[0125] As an example, see Figure 5After bonding the first electric chip 24 and the second electric chip 25 to the first rewiring layer 23, the step of thinning the first electric chip 24 and the second electric chip 25 is also included. Mechanical grinding, chemical mechanical grinding, plasma dry chemical etching and other processes can be used to thin the first electric chip 24 and the second electric chip 25 to facilitate subsequent processes. No excessive limitations are made here. In this embodiment, a mechanical grinding process is used to achieve a smooth ground surface. The thinning of the first electric chip 24 and the second electric chip 25 can shorten the transmission distance and reduce the thickness of the package.

[0126] Please see again Figure 6 , executing the step S3: forming a dielectric layer 26 covering the first electrical chip 24 and the second electrical chip 25 on the first rewiring layer 23 .

[0127] As an example, the material of the dielectric layer 26 may be silicon oxide, but is not limited thereto. Inorganic materials such as silicon nitride or aluminum oxide may also be used as required, and no excessive restrictions are imposed herein.

[0128] Please see again Figures 7 and 8 , performing the step S4: forming a conductive column 27 in the dielectric layer 26, the conductive column 27 penetrates the dielectric layer 26 to be electrically connected to the first rewiring layer 23, thinning the dielectric layer 26 to expose the conductive column 27, the first electrical chip 24 and the second electrical chip 25, wherein, Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram showing the structure obtained after forming the conductive pillar 27. Figure 8 It is a schematic diagram showing the structure obtained after the dielectric layer 26 is thinned.

[0129] As an example, forming the conductive column 27 may include the steps of forming a through hole (not shown) penetrating the dielectric layer 26, and the step of filling the through hole with metal. The punching method may include a laser punching method or a mechanical drilling method, which may be selected according to needs, and the method of filling the metal may be an electroplating method, etc. The specific steps for preparing the conductive column 27, the size of the conductive column 27, and the distribution of the conductive column 27 are not overly restricted here, and may be selected according to needs. The material of the conductive column 27 may be copper metal, but is not limited thereto, and other conductive metal materials may also be used.

[0130] As an example, mechanical grinding, chemical mechanical grinding, plasma dry chemical etching or other suitable processes can be used to thin the dielectric layer 26 to expose the conductive pillars 27, the first electrical chip 24 and the second electrical chip 25. No excessive limitations are made here. In this embodiment, a chemical mechanical grinding process is used to obtain a relatively flat surface to facilitate subsequent processes.

[0131] Please see again Fig. 9 , executing the step S5: forming a second rewiring layer 28 on the dielectric layer 26 , wherein the second rewiring layer 28 is electrically connected to the top of the conductive pillar 27 .

[0132] As an example, the second rewiring layer 28 may be a rewiring layer using a Damascus process, including a dielectric layer and metal wiring embedded in the dielectric layer, wherein the material of the dielectric layer may include silicon oxide or silicon nitride, etc., and the material of the metal wiring may include copper, aluminum, etc. The material, number of layers, layout, preparation method, etc. of the second rewiring layer 28 can be selected as needed, and no excessive restrictions are made here.

[0133] As an example, before forming the second rewiring layer 28 on the dielectric layer 26, a step of forming a first heat dissipation layer 29 on the upper surface of the first electric chip 24 and / or a second heat dissipation layer 210 on the upper surface of the second electric chip 25 can be performed to improve the heat dissipation capability and reduce power consumption. In this embodiment, a metal layer, preferably a copper layer, is electroplated on the invalid area (area without electrical connection) on the back of the first electric chip 24 and the second electric chip 25 to conduct heat for the first electric chip 24 and the second electric chip 25.

[0134] Please see again Fig.10 , perform the step S6: provide a first supporting substrate 211 , and bond the second rewiring layer 28 to the first supporting substrate 211 .

[0135] As an example, the first supporting substrate 211 may include a glass substrate, a metal substrate, a semiconductor substrate, etc., so that the first supporting substrate 211 can provide support for the subsequent preparation process. In order to facilitate the subsequent removal of the first supporting substrate 211, in this embodiment, a first separation layer 212 is preferably formed on the surface of the first supporting substrate 211, and the first separation layer 212 includes but is not limited to one of a tape and a polymer layer.
