Integrated circuit packaging technology has been continuously developing in the direction of low cost, high reliability, fast transmission, and high-density circuits. However, the number of input / output (I / O) pins of each package structure and the total I / O bandwidth have different growth rates, resulting in higher energy consumption. Light has the characteristics of low signal attenuation, low energy consumption, high bandwidth, and compatibility with CMOS. The introduction of silicon photonics technology can increase the bandwidth of I / O to reduce energy consumption. 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.

[0111] The following will be combined Figures 3 to 15 , detailing each step of the method for preparing the three-dimensional optoelectronic integrated packaging structure of the present invention.

[0112] First, please refer to 2 and execute 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.

[0113] 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.

[0114] 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.

[0115] 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.

[0116] As an example, the second electrical chip 25 includes an ASIC chip, and the ASIC chip can be used to stack the subsequent 3D chip 218 (such as Fig.13 ) is converted into an optical signal, but the type of the second electrical chip 25 is not limited thereto and can be selected according to needs.

[0117] 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.

[0118] As an example, see Figure 5 After 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.

[0119] 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 .

[0120] 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.

[0121] 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.

[0122] 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.

[0123] 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.

[0124] 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 .

[0125] 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.

[0126] 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.

[0127] Please see again Fig.10 , executing step S6: forming a metal bump 211 on the second re-distribution layer 28 , wherein the metal bump 211 is electrically connected to the second re-distribution layer 28 .

[0128] As an example, the metal bump 211 may be a C24 metal bump to facilitate subsequent electrical lead-out, but is not limited thereto and is not excessively limited herein.

[0129] Please see again Fig.11 , perform step S7: provide a supporting substrate 212 , and bond the metal bump 211 to the supporting substrate 212 .

[0130] As an example, the supporting substrate 212 may include a glass substrate, a metal substrate, a semiconductor substrate, etc., so that the supporting substrate 212 can provide support for the subsequent preparation process. In order to facilitate the subsequent removal of the supporting substrate 212, in this embodiment, a separation layer 213 is preferably formed on the surface of the supporting substrate 212, and the separation layer 213 includes but is not limited to one of a tape and a polymer layer. For example, the separation layer 213 can selectively use a photothermal conversion layer, so that the separation layer 213 can be subsequently heated by a laser or the like to separate the supporting substrate 212 from the metal bump 211, thereby improving the convenience of operation.

[0131] Please see again Fig.12 , performing step S8: thinning the TSV substrate 21 to expose the bottom end of the TSV metal column 22 , forming a third rewiring layer 214 on the second surface of the TSV substrate 21 , and the third rewiring layer 214 is electrically connected to the TSV metal column 22 .

[0132] As an example, a chemical mechanical polishing process may be used to expose the bottom end of the TSV metal column 22 and provide the TSV substrate 21 with a relatively flat surface to facilitate subsequent processes.
