[0019] In the bridge chip assembly 100 provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the bottom surface of the silicon through via 112 is flush with the bottom surface of the protective layer 120. When manufacturing the bridge chip assembly 100, the protective layer 120 is first deposited, and then the bottom surface of the silicon through via 112 is ground. During the grinding process, the protective layer 120 can protect the substrate 111, and can prevent the metal ions (such as copper ions) generated by grinding the silicon through via 112 from migrating and diffusing into the substrate 111, thereby avoiding the reliability failure problem of the packaging structure caused by the migration and diffusion of metal ions.

[0021] In one embodiment, the bridge chip assembly 100 further includes a bottom pad 130, which is disposed on the bottom surface of the through silicon via 112 and is electrically connected to the through silicon via 112. In one embodiment, the bottom pad 130 is a micro pad (μPad). The bottom pad 130 is disposed on the bottom surface of the through silicon via 112, so that the first plastic encapsulation layer 401 (refer to FIG. 1 ) covering the bridge chip assembly 100 can be reduced in the packaging structure using the bridge chip assembly 100. Fig.12 ) thickness, thereby reducing the warpage of the partial structure, which is more conducive to production and yield. In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the bottom pad 130 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the through silicon via 112, so as to ensure that the through silicon via 112 can be fully in contact with the bottom pad 130, reduce the contact resistance, and further reduce the delay of the electrical signal.

[0022] The embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for forming a bridge chip assembly 100. Specifically, the steps of forming the bridge chip assembly 100 include:

[0023] See also Figure 2 , providing a device wafer, the device wafer comprising a bridge chip 110, the bridge chip 110 comprising an initial substrate 300, an initial silicon through via 310 extending from the top surface of the initial substrate 300 to the inside of the initial substrate 300, and the side and bottom surfaces of the initial silicon through via 310 are covered with a passivation layer 113. The passivation layer 113 includes but is not limited to silicon oxide, silicon nitride and a combination thereof.

[0024] In some embodiments, the bridge chip 110 further includes a deep trench capacitor (DTC) 180, and the deep trench capacitor 180 is disposed in the initial substrate 300. In some embodiments, the deep trench capacitor 180 extends from the top surface of the initial substrate 300 to the inside of the initial substrate 300. In one embodiment, the device wafer further includes an internal redistribution layer 160 and a conductive column 170, the internal redistribution layer 160 is disposed on the top surface of the initial substrate 300, the conductive column 170 is disposed on the top surface of the internal redistribution layer 160, and the deep trench capacitor 180 is electrically connected to the internal redistribution layer 160.

[0025] In some embodiments, the step of providing a device wafer specifically includes: providing an initial wafer, the initial wafer including an initial substrate 300, an initial silicon through hole 310 extending from the top surface of the initial substrate 300 to the inside of the initial substrate 300, and a deep trench capacitor 180; forming an internal redistribution layer 160 and a conductive column 170 on the top surface of the initial substrate 300, the internal redistribution layer 160 is electrically connected to the top surface of the initial silicon through hole 310, and the conductive column 170 is arranged on the top surface of the internal redistribution layer 160 and is electrically connected to the internal redistribution layer 160. The internal redistribution layer 160 includes a dielectric layer and a conductive circuit located in the dielectric layer, one side of the conductive circuit is electrically connected to the top surface of the initial silicon through hole 310, and the other side is electrically connected to the conductive column 170. The initial silicon through hole 310 includes but is not limited to a copper column, the conductive column 170 includes but is not limited to a copper column, and the dielectric layer includes but is not limited to a silicon dioxide layer or a silicon nitride layer. The initial substrate 300 includes but is not limited to a silicon substrate. In some embodiments, the top surfaces of the initial through silicon via 310 and the deep trench capacitor 180 are flush with the top surface of the initial substrate 300 .

[0026] Optionally, in some embodiments, in order to support the device wafer in the subsequent step of processing the bottom surface of the device wafer (for example, thinning the initial substrate 300), the step of providing the device wafer further includes: Figure 3 , bonding the support substrate 320 to the front side of the device wafer. The support substrate 320 includes but is not limited to a glass substrate. Further, the step of bonding the support substrate 320 to the front side of the device wafer includes: bonding the support substrate 320 to a side of the device wafer having the conductive pillar 170. Specifically, this step includes: forming a covering layer 330 on the front side of the device wafer, the covering layer 330 covering the conductive pillar 170 and covering the surface of the internal redistribution layer 160; bonding the support substrate 320 to the device wafer using the surface of the support substrate 320 and the surface of the covering layer 330 as bonding surfaces.

[0027] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a portion of the initial substrate 300 is removed from the bottom surface of the initial substrate 300 to form the substrate 111 , and the initial silicon through vias 310 protrude from the bottom surface of the substrate 111 .

[0028] In some embodiments, this step may include the following two steps:

[0029] See also Figure 4 , a portion of the initial substrate 300 is removed from the bottom surface of the initial substrate 300 to a set distance from the passivation layer 113 of the bottom surface of the initial silicon via 310. Specifically, the initial substrate 300 is processed by the thinning and flattening process method from the bottom surface of the initial substrate 300 to close to the initial silicon via 310, the initial silicon via 310 is covered by the passivation layer 113, the passivation layer 113 is covered by the initial substrate 300, and the initial silicon via 310 is still not exposed, which can prevent the initial silicon via 310 from exposing copper ions to contaminate the substrate 111. During the thinning process, the supporting substrate 320 supports the device wafer. Figure 4 As shown, in this step, the support substrate 320 is facing downward, and the device wafer is located above the support substrate 320 .

[0030] See also Figure 5 , continue to remove part of the initial substrate 300 from the bottom surface of the initial substrate 300 to form a substrate 111, and the initial silicon through-holes 310 protrude from the bottom surface of the substrate 111. Figure 5As shown, when performing this step, the support substrate 320 is facing downward, and the device wafer is located above the support substrate 320. In this step, the initial silicon through via 310 is not removed, so that the initial silicon through via 310 protrudes from the bottom surface of the substrate 111. In some embodiments, a dry etching process can be used to remove part of the initial substrate 300. The dry etching material can etch the initial substrate 300 without etching the passivation layer 113 on the surface of the initial silicon through via 310, thereby preventing copper ions from contaminating the substrate 111 and the cavity of the subsequent process.

[0031] See also Figure 6 , forming a protective layer 120 on the bottom surface of the substrate 111. In this embodiment, the protective layer 120 also covers the surface of the passivation layer 113. In this step, the protective layer 120 can be formed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) and other processes. The protective layer 120 is a single-layer structure or a composite layer structure, and its material includes but is not limited to silicon nitride, silicon dioxide or nitrogen silicon dioxide. In other embodiments, the protective layer 120 may also only cover the bottom surface of the substrate 110.

[0032] See also Figure 7 , the passivation layer 113 and the initial silicon via 310 are thinned from the bottom surface of the initial silicon via 310 to form a silicon via 112, so that the bottom surface of the silicon via 112 is flush with the bottom surface of the protective layer 120, and the side surface of the silicon via 112 is covered with the passivation layer 113. In this step, when the initial silicon via 310 is thinned, the passivation layer 113 on the bottom surface of the initial silicon via 310 is thinned first, and when the initial silicon via 310 is further thinned, the passivation layer 113 on the side surface of the initial silicon via 310 is also removed synchronously. In this step, the initial silicon via 310 can be polished by a chemical mechanical polishing process until the formed silicon via 112 meets the preset height requirement. In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the protective layer 120 is polished at the same time to provide a flat surface for subsequent processes. In this step, when grinding the initial silicon through via 310, the surface of the substrate 111 is covered by the protective layer 120, and the metal ions generated during grinding cannot diffuse into the substrate 111, thereby avoiding reliability failure problems of the packaging structure caused by the migration and diffusion of metal ions.

[0033] In some embodiments, after the step of thinning the passivation layer 113 and the initial silicon via 310 from the bottom surface of the initial silicon via 310 to form the silicon via 112, the step further includes: Figure 8, forming a bottom pad 130, the bottom pad 130 is arranged on the bottom surface of the through silicon via 112 and is electrically connected to the through silicon via 112. The bottom pad 130 serves as a structure for connecting the through silicon via 112 to the outside. In one embodiment, the bottom pad 130 is a micro pad (μPad). The bottom pad 130 can be formed by a photolithography process and an electroplating process.

[0034] In some embodiments, the step of forming the bottom pad 130 further includes: forming a seed layer 150 on the bottom surface of the protection layer 120 and the bottom surface of the through silicon via 112; and forming the bottom pad 130 on the seed layer 150 on the bottom surface of the through silicon via 112 by electroplating. The seed layer 150 may be a copper layer or a titanium layer or a multi-layer metal layer. Figure 8 As shown, the forming method further includes: removing the seed layer 150 not covered by the bottom pad 130, and only retaining the seed layer 150 located in the bottom pad 130 area. Fig.17 , the seed layer 150 may not be removed after the bottom pad 130 is formed, but may be removed in a subsequent process.

[0035] See also Fig. 9 , forming an adhesion layer 140, the adhesion layer 140 covers the bottom surface of the protective layer 120 and the bottom surface of the bottom pad 130. Specifically, in this step, the adhesion layer 140 is formed on the bottom surface of the protective layer 120 and the bottom surface of the bottom pad 130. The bridge chip assembly 100 is fixed on the wafer ring 350 (Waferring) by the adhesion layer 140. In some embodiments, the bottom surface of the device wafer is fixed on the wafer ring 350 through the adhesion layer 140, and the supporting substrate 320 faces upward. The adhesion layer 140 is made of a material with a certain viscosity, such as an acrylic resin series (acrylic). In some embodiments, the adhesion layer 140 is a die attachment film (Die Attachment Film, DAF for short), which has excellent thermal conductivity and adhesion. In some embodiments, such as Fig.17 After the bottom pad 130 is formed, the seed layer 150 is not removed, and the adhesion layer 140 covers the bottom surface of the seed layer 150 and the bottom surface of the bottom pad 130 .

[0036] In some embodiments, the step of forming the adhesion layer 140 further includes: Fig.10, debonding the support substrate 320, and singulating the device wafer to form the bridge chip assembly 100. In this step, after debonding the support substrate 320, the cover layer 330 on the front side of the device wafer is also removed, and the conductive pillar 170 is exposed. In some embodiments, a suitable debonding process can be selected according to the characteristics of the temporary bonding adhesive, such as laser debonding, thermal debonding, etc. The device wafer is singulated to form a plurality of independent bridge chip assemblies 100.

[0037] The above is an embodiment of forming the bridge chip assembly 100 .

[0039] In some embodiments, the carrier 600 is a glass substrate, and its surface has a temporary bonding layer 601 and a buffer metal layer 602. The bridge chip assembly 100 is disposed on the buffer metal layer 602 through a die attach or die bonding (DA) process. In some embodiments, this step further includes disposing a metal column 402 on the surface of the carrier 600.

Specifically, this step further includes: using plastic encapsulation material to cover the bridge chip component 100, the metal column 402 and the surface of the buffer metal layer 602 covering the carrier 600; preliminarily thinning the plastic encapsulation material to expose the metal column 402 and the conductive column 170 on the top surface of the bridge chip component 100; etching the metal column 402 and the conductive column 170 on the top surface of the bridge chip component 100 to a preset height; continuing to thin the plastic encapsulation material to form the first plastic encapsulation layer 401, the top surface of the first plastic encapsulation layer 401 is flush with the top surface of the metal column 402 and the top surface of the conductive column 170, and the top surface of the metal column 402 and the top surface of the conductive column 170 are not covered by the first plastic encapsulation layer 401. After initially thinning the molding compound, the metal column 402 and the conductive column 170 are etched. On the one hand, a preset height can be formed. On the other hand, the oxide layer on the surface of the metal column 402 and the conductive column 170 can be removed to expose the substrate, thereby reducing the contact resistance between the metal column 402 and the conductive column 170 and other device layers (such as the top redistribution layer 430).

[0042] In one embodiment, the chip package assembly 400 includes a top redistribution layer 430, a top pad 440, and a top device 450. The steps of forming the chip package assembly 400 on the top surface of the first plastic packaging layer 401 and the top surface of the bridge chip assembly 100 include:

In one embodiment, the top redistribution layer 430 can be formed by a photolithography process and an electroplating process, for example, by adding layers and stacking them through processes such as coating, exposure, development, electroplating, and degumming to form the top redistribution layer 430.

[0044] A top pad 440 is formed on a top surface of the top redistribution layer 430 , and the top pad 440 is electrically connected to the top redistribution layer 430 .

In some embodiments, if the surface of the bottom pad 130 is too far away from the bottom surface of the first plastic packaging layer 401, the through hole may not be able to fully expose the bottom pad 130 by using a single exposure process, and then a through hole exposing the bottom pad 130 of the bottom surface of the bridge chip 110 may be formed on the dielectric layer 411 by a double exposure process, so that the through hole can fully expose the bottom pad 130. In some embodiments, when the bottom pad 130 is not provided on the bottom surface of the through silicon via 112, the through hole exposing the bottom surface of the through silicon via 112 is formed on the dielectric layer 411 by a single exposure or double exposure process according to the distance from the bottom surface of the through silicon via 112 to the bottom surface of the first plastic packaging layer 401.

[0057] The through hole is sputtered and / or electroplated to form a plated bump 412, and the plated bump 412 is in contact with the bottom pad 130 of the bridge chip 110.

[0060] The method for forming a packaging structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention first forms a bridge chip component, wherein the silicon through hole of the bridge chip is exposed by first depositing a protective layer and then thinning the silicon through hole. In the thinning process, the protective layer can protect the substrate, and can prevent the metal ions (such as copper ions) generated by the thinning of the silicon through hole from migrating and diffusing into the substrate, thereby avoiding the reliability failure problem of the packaging structure caused by the migration and diffusion of metal ions; at the same time, when the bridge chip component is plastic-sealed, the bottom surface of the bridge chip component has an adhesion layer, and the adhesion layer is removed after plastic sealing, so that the bottom surface of the bridge chip component is higher than the bottom surface of the first plastic sealing layer. After the bottom redistribution layer is formed on the bottom surface of the first plastic sealing layer and the bottom surface of the bridge chip component, the thickness of the bottom redistribution layer located on the bottom surface of the bridge chip component is greater than the thickness of the bottom redistribution layer located on the bottom surface of the first plastic sealing layer, that is, the bottom of the bridge chip component has a thicker dielectric layer, so that the connection strength of each connection point of the bridge chip component is guaranteed, and a higher stress buffer is provided for the bridge chip, thereby improving the reliability of the packaging structure.
