[0052] In summary, when manufacturing a silicon carbide wafer-level packaging structure;

[0053] The silicon carbide wafer 11 is marked with reference numeral 11 for easy identification in the attached drawings. The silicon carbide wafer 11 includes a plurality of silicon carbide chips 1. Both the front and back sides of the silicon carbide chips 1 have electrode metals, including silicon carbide MOSFET, silicon carbide diode, silicon carbide JFET, silicon carbide IGBT, silicon carbide BJT, and silicon carbide GTO, with a thickness of 100-400um. The under-bump metal 2 is prepared by evaporation stripping or chemical plating. If the evaporation stripping method is adopted, the contact area between the front electrode metal and the under-bump metal 2 is first defined by photolithography on the front side of the silicon carbide wafer 11, and then the silicon carbide wafer 11 is The metal under the bump 2 is deposited on the front side, and then the photoresist and the metal thereon are removed by stripping liquid, wherein the metal material of the metal under the bump 2 can be titanium, nickel, vanadium, and silver, wherein the thickness of the metal titanium is less than 0.5um, the thickness of the metal nickel and vanadium is less than 1um, and the thickness of the metal silver is 1-10um, and then the first insulating material 3 is deposited on the front side of the silicon carbide wafer 11 and the surface of the metal under the bump 2, and then the metal under the bump 2 opening area is defined by photolithography and etching, and then the photoresist is removed, and the material of the first insulating material 3 is composed of one or more stacks of silicon oxide, silicon nitride, and silicon oxynitride, and the material thickness is 0.1-10um, then spray polyimide on the front and back of the silicon carbide wafer 11 respectively, and then photolithography is used to define the metal opening area 2 under the bump and the metal opening area of ​​the electrode on the back of the silicon carbide wafer 11. By baking and curing, the insulating material made of polyimide is formed into a second insulating material 4 and a third insulating material 5 with a thickness of 10-200um. The polyimide provides good insulating support, a thermal expansion coefficient matching the silicon carbide chip 1, and good moisture resistance, which can reduce the device under high temperature working environment. The risk of cracking and delamination is reduced, and the risk of moisture entering the chip and causing failure in a high-humidity working environment is reduced to improve device reliability. Then, the first metal bump 6 and the second metal bump 7 are prepared on the front and back sides of the silicon carbide wafer 11 through an electroplating stripping process, and a seed copper layer is sputtered on the front and back sides of the silicon carbide wafer 11. Then, the metal 2 opening area under the wafer front bump and the metal opening area of ​​the wafer back electrode are defined by photolithography on the front and back sides of the wafer, and a copper layer is further electroplated on the front and back sides of the wafer, and then the front and back sides of the wafer are photolithographically processed.

After fixing, the hot melt fourth insulating material 10 is injected through the board-level feed port 21. After the fourth insulating material 10 is cooled and solidified, the mold is removed, and then the devices arranged at the board level are cut into single devices. The use of the board-level packaging mold further improves the operating efficiency and reduces the time cost.
