Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a packaging process, and more particularly to a packaging process for a temperature sensor chip. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, temperature sensor chips are high-precision chips with very fast response times. Since the primary function of a temperature sensor chip is temperature sensing, it must have a good temperature transmission path with the casing during packaging. Eutectic bonding significantly reduces the thermal resistance between the chip and the casing, but the inherent properties of the chip prevent it from being directly connected to a metal casing. Currently, temperature sensor chips typically use insulating adhesive bonding, meaning the chip and casing are bonded together with insulating adhesive, which greatly reduces thermal conductivity. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a packaging process for a temperature sensor chip that not only has high temperature sensing performance and good insulation effect, but also has a reasonable process, simple operation, and high production efficiency, making it suitable for industrial production.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A packaging process for a temperature sensor chip includes the following steps:

[0006] 1. Select an aluminum nitride ceramic substrate and choose the corresponding size of gold-tin solder sheet according to the size of the chip;

[0007] 2. Cleaning of aluminum nitride ceramic substrates;

[0008] 3. Fabricate the metallization layer on the aluminum nitride ceramic substrate;

[0009] 3.1 Select a magnetron sputtering stage with four target positions and deposit a composite metal layer by sputtering; place the aluminum nitride ceramic substrate in a tray and send it into the sputtering chamber of the magnetron sputtering stage, and heat the substrate to a temperature of 160℃±10℃.

[0010] 3.2 Then, the aluminum nitride ceramic substrate is subjected to reverse sputtering. The aluminum nitride ceramic substrate is bombarded at a power of 150W±10W for 300s±10s to remove the contamination layer on the substrate surface, activate the substrate surface, and improve the adhesion of the sputtered film layer on the substrate surface.

[0011] 3.3. Sputtering a CrSi-NiCr-Au composite film on the substrate surface: First, sputter the CrSi layer at a power of 100W±10W for 500s±10s and an argon flow rate of 13sccm±2sccm. During sputtering, the high-pressure valve was shut off to partially close the vacuum channel, and then the oxygen flow meter was turned on to introduce a certain amount of oxygen for reactive sputtering at a flow rate of 3sccm±1sccm. Immediately after sputtering the CrSi layer, the NiCr film was sputtered at a power of 300W±10W for 300s±10s. Finally, the Au layer was sputtered at a power of 200W±10W for 300s±10s. After sputtering, the aluminum nitride ceramic substrate was removed, and the other side was sputtered using the same method to form a CrSi-NiCr-Au composite metallization layer on both sides of the substrate.

[0012] 4. Cut the aluminum nitride ceramic substrate with the metallized layer deposited according to the size of the chip. Then place the metal shell on the sintering mold, place the gold-tin solder sheet on the metal shell, place the cut aluminum nitride ceramic substrate on the gold-tin solder sheet, place the gold-tin solder sheet on the aluminum nitride ceramic substrate again, and finally place the chip; and put them together in the eutectic bonding furnace for sintering.

[0013] 5. Use a programmable vacuum eutectic bonding furnace for eutectic sintering. After the welding is completed, wait for the temperature to drop below 70°C, then open the chamber door and remove the device.

[0014] 6. Finally, the eutectic sintered product is bonded and capped to complete the encapsulation.

[0015] As a further preferred embodiment, the aluminum nitride ceramic substrate has a thickness of 0.3±0.02mm and a thermal conductivity ≥170W / m·k.

[0016] As a further preferred option, the aluminum nitride ceramic substrate is first ultrasonically cleaned with acetone for 15 minutes, then rinsed with deionized water, and finally dehydrated with anhydrous ethanol, dried with nitrogen, and then dried with an oven lamp for later use.

[0017] As a further preferred option, the steps for eutectic sintering are as follows:

[0018] (1) First, evacuate the vacuum chamber and fill it with nitrogen to purify the atmosphere inside the vacuum chamber; then start heating to bring the temperature inside the furnace to 180℃±10℃. At this time, formic acid is introduced, and the flow rate is controlled at the maximum value of 8s lm~10s lm. The formic acid decomposes upon heating to produce hydrogen. The hydrogen neutralizes the oxygen in the vacuum chamber and provides the reducing gas required for welding. The mold and the shell are preheated.

[0019] (2) Continue to heat up to 280℃±10℃ and hold the temperature for 200s~300s to fully preheat the mold and the shell, in preparation for the melting of the solder eutectic.

[0020] (3) After the constant temperature is completed, the temperature is rapidly increased to 350℃±10℃ within 100s±10s, and the temperature is kept constant for 50s±10s to melt the gold-tin solder sheet and end the eutectic process.

[0021] (4) Turn off the formic acid flow, evacuate the vacuum chamber and remove the remaining formic acid; then turn off the heating and fill with nitrogen to cool down.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0023] 1. The process is reasonable and the operation is simple. By selecting aluminum nitride ceramic substrates with high thermal conductivity, ceramic metallization treatment is carried out on them using sputtering process. CrSi-NiCr-Au composite film metallization layer is selected, and oxygen is introduced during the sputtering of the first CrSi layer. Through the combination of oxygen with the incident deposited atoms, an oxide intermediate layer is generated, which can enhance the adhesion of the film.

[0024] 2. During eutectic sintering, a programmable vacuum eutectic bonding furnace is selected, and a double-layer gold-tin solder sheet is used for eutectic sintering. By cleverly and reasonably modifying the eutectic sintering process, editing the eutectic curve, and increasing the isothermal time of the preheating section, the double-layer gold-tin solder sheet can complete the eutectic sintering. This temperature sensor chip packaging process not only has high temperature sensing performance and good insulation effect, but also has high production efficiency, is suitable for industrial production, and can improve the quality and reliability of products.

[0033] 2. Cleaning of aluminum nitride ceramic substrate 1: When cleaning the aluminum nitride ceramic substrate 1, first use acetone for ultrasonic cleaning for 15 minutes, then rinse with deionized water, finally dehydrate with anhydrous ethanol, blow dry with nitrogen, and dry with an oven lamp for later use.

[0034] 3. Fabricate the metallization layer of aluminum nitride ceramic substrate 1;

[0035] 3.1 Select a magnetron sputtering stage with four target positions and deposit a composite metal layer by sputtering. Place the aluminum nitride ceramic substrate 1 in a tray and send it into the sputtering chamber of the magnetron sputtering stage. Heat the substrate to a temperature of 160℃±10℃.

[0036] 3.2 Then, the aluminum nitride ceramic substrate 1 is subjected to reverse sputtering. The aluminum nitride ceramic substrate 1 is bombarded at a power of 150W±10W for 300s±10s to remove the contamination layer on the substrate surface, activate the substrate surface, and improve the adhesion of the sputtered film layer on the substrate surface.

[0037] 3.3. A CrSi-NiCr-Au composite film is sputtered onto the surface of the aluminum nitride ceramic substrate 1. First, a CrSi layer is sputtered, with the power set at 100W±10W and the time at 500s±10s. Argon gas flow rate is 13sccm±2sccm. During sputtering, the high-pressure valve is first shut off to partially close the vacuum channel. Then, the oxygen flow meter switch is turned on to introduce a certain amount of oxygen for reaction sputtering. The oxygen flow rate is 3sccm±1sccm. The oxygen reacts with the incident... Depositing atomic phases to form an oxide intermediate layer enhances the adhesion of the thin film. Immediately after sputtering the CrSi layer, a NiCr film is sputtered at a power of 300W ± 10W for 300s ± 10s. Finally, an Au layer is sputtered at a power of 200W ± 10W for 300s ± 10s. After sputtering, the aluminum nitride ceramic substrate 1 is removed, and the other side is sputtered using the same method, resulting in a CrSi-NiCr-Au composite metallization layer 2 on both sides of the substrate. Figure 1 As shown.

[0038] 4. Cut the aluminum nitride ceramic substrate 1 after the metallization layer 2 has been deposited into the size of the temperature sensing chip 3 to be packaged. Then place the metal shell 5 on the sintering mold, place the gold-tin solder sheet 4 on the metal shell 5, place the cut aluminum nitride ceramic substrate 1 on the gold-tin solder sheet 4, place the gold-tin solder sheet 4 on the aluminum nitride ceramic substrate 1 again, and finally place the chip 3.

After welding, wait for the temperature to drop below 70℃, open the chamber door, and remove the eutecticized components. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown. Under a 30-60x microscope, the solder of the product with good eutectic bonding is well wetted, and there are no holes around the chip 3. The eutectic sintering of the temperature sensing chip 3, the aluminum nitride ceramic metallization substrate, and the shell 5 can then be completed, thus completing the temperature sensor chip packaging process.

[0040] The steps for eutectic sintering are as follows:

[0041] (1) First, evacuate the vacuum chamber and fill it with nitrogen for more than 80 seconds each time. Repeat this cycle twice to purify the atmosphere in the vacuum chamber. Then, start heating to bring the furnace temperature to 180℃±10℃. At this time, formic acid is introduced and the flow rate is controlled at the maximum value of 8s lm~10s lm. The formic acid decomposes upon heating to produce hydrogen. The hydrogen neutralizes the oxygen in the vacuum chamber and provides the reducing gas - hydrogen - required for welding. The mold and tube shell 5 are preheated.

[0042] (2) Continue to heat up to 280℃±10℃ and hold the temperature for 200s~300s to fully preheat the mold and the shell 5 in preparation for the melting of the solder eutectic.

[0043] (3) After the constant temperature is completed, the temperature is rapidly increased to 350℃±10℃ within 100s±10s, and the temperature is kept constant for 50s±10s to melt the gold-tin solder sheet 4 and the eutectic process is completed.

[0044] (4) Turn off the formic acid flow, evacuate the vacuum chamber and remove the remaining formic acid; then turn off the heating and fill with nitrogen to cool down.

[0045] 6. Finally, the product after eutectic sintering is bonded with gold wire ball bonding machine, and then sealed with energy storage welding machine to complete the packaging of temperature sensor chip.
