[0061] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the implementation methods can be carried out in many different forms. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the methods and content can be varied in various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure. Therefore, this disclosure should not be construed as limited to the content described in the following embodiments. Without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this disclosure can be arbitrarily combined with each other.
[0062] The scale of the accompanying drawings in this disclosure can be used as a reference in actual processes, but is not limited thereto. For example, the aspect ratio of the channel, the thickness and spacing of each film layer, and the width and spacing of each signal line can be adjusted according to actual needs. The drawings described in this disclosure are only schematic diagrams of the structure, and one aspect of this disclosure is not limited to the shapes or values shown in the drawings.
[0063] The ordinal numbers “first,” “second,” and “third” used in this specification are used to avoid confusion among the constituent elements, not to limit their quantity.
[0064] In this specification, for convenience, terms such as "middle," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" are used to indicate orientation or positional relationships in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. This is solely for the purpose of facilitating the description and simplification, and does not imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this disclosure. The positional relationships of the constituent elements may be appropriately varied depending on the orientation of each constituent element being described. Therefore, the use of terms not limited to those described in the specification may be appropriately replaced as needed.
[0065] In this specification, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection, an indirect connection via an intermediate component, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of these terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.
[0066] In this specification, "electrical connection" includes the situation where components are connected together by elements that have a certain electrical function. There are no particular limitations on what constitutes an "electrical function," as long as it allows for the transmission and reception of electrical signals between the connected components. Examples of "electrical functions" include not only electrodes and wiring, but also switching elements such as transistors, resistors, inductors, capacitors, and other elements with various functions.
[0067] In this specification, "parallel" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to -10° and less than 10°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to -5° and less than 5°. Similarly, "perpendicular" refers to the state where the angle formed by two straight lines is greater than or equal to 80° and less than 100°, and therefore also includes the state where the angle is greater than or equal to 85° and less than 95°.
[0068] In this specification, the terms "film" and "layer" may be interchanged. For example, "conductive layer" may sometimes be replaced with "conductive film." Similarly, "insulating film" may sometimes be replaced with "insulating layer."
[0069] In this specification, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons are not strictly defined; they can be approximate triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, pentagons, or hexagons. Small deformations due to tolerances are possible, as are chamfers, curved edges, and other variations.
[0070] In this disclosure, “about” means a value that is not strictly limited and allows for process and measurement errors.
[0071] To meet the growing demands for wide bandwidth, low cost, and high integration, through-glass via (TGV) technology is gradually becoming a viable option for passive filter (LC filter) design. Compared to silicon (Si)-based IPDs, TGV-based IPDs avoid the high microwave loss caused by the poor insulation of silicon-based devices, resulting in superior electrical performance. Compared to gallium arsenide (GaAs)-based IPDs, TGV-based IPDs offer the advantage of lower cost and are suitable for high-frequency applications.
[0072] Through-Glass Via (TGV) technology involves creating through-holes in a glass substrate and filling them with metal material. This metal material then electrically connects functional structures located on the upper and lower surfaces of the glass substrate. Research indicates that fabricating these functional structures on the upper and lower surfaces involves processes such as high-temperature annealing or high-temperature thin-film deposition. Because the coefficient of thermal expansion of the metal material in the through-hole differs from that of the glass substrate, the metal material can easily protrude from the through-hole, causing a break in the connection between the metal material and the functional structure, thus reducing product yield.

[0103] The following description uses the filter fabrication process as an example. The "patterning process" described in this disclosure includes, for metallic, inorganic, or transparent conductive materials, processes such as photoresist coating, mask exposure, development, etching, and photoresist stripping; for organic materials, it includes processes such as organic material coating, mask exposure, and development. Deposition can be performed using any one or more of sputtering, evaporation, and chemical vapor deposition; coating can be performed using any one or more of spraying, spin coating, and inkjet printing; etching can be performed using any one or more of dry etching and wet etching. This disclosure does not limit the methods used. A "thin film" refers to a thin film made of a material on a substrate using deposition, coating, or other processes. If the "thin film" does not require a patterning process during the entire fabrication process, it can also be called a "layer." If the "thin film" requires a patterning process during the entire fabrication process, it is called a "thin film" before the patterning process and a "layer" after the patterning process. The "layer" after the patterning process contains at least one "pattern." The phrase "A and B are arranged in the same layer" in this disclosure means that A and B are formed simultaneously through the same patterning process, and the "thickness" of the film layer is the dimension of the film layer in the direction perpendicular to the filter. In the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, "the orthographic projection of B is within the range of the orthographic projection of A" or "the orthographic projection of A includes the orthographic projection of B" means that the boundary of the orthographic projection of B falls within the boundary range of the orthographic projection of A, or the boundary of the orthographic projection of A overlaps with the boundary of the orthographic projection of B.
[0104] The fabrication process of the filter according to an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure may include at least four parts: fabrication of a first substrate, fabrication of a second substrate, fabrication of a connecting substrate, and bonding process. The fabrication of the connecting substrate, the first substrate, and the second substrate does not require a specific order and can be performed simultaneously, while the bonding process must be performed after the connecting substrate, the first substrate, and the second substrate are fabricated. The fabrication process of each of the four parts is described below.

[0163] In an exemplary embodiment, at least two vias 80 may have substantially the same structure, both being vias that penetrate the connecting substrate 30. On a plane parallel to the connecting substrate, the via 80 may be circular or elliptical in shape. On a plane perpendicular to the connecting substrate, the cross-sectional shape of the via 80 may be columnar, funnel-shaped, or hourglass-shaped, etc. The via 80 is configured to accommodate subsequently formed conductive pillars.
[0164] In an exemplary embodiment, the connecting substrate 30 may include a first side surface 30A and a second side surface 30B that are opposite to each other. In an exemplary embodiment, at least one through-hole may be formed using a patterning process or a laser drilling process.

The second blind hole and the first blind hole are connected to form an hourglass-shaped through-hole. When the laser beam interacts with the connecting substrate, high-energy laser photons ionize the atoms in the connecting substrate and eject them from the connecting substrate. As time increases, the hole gradually deepens until the first blind hole and the second blind hole are formed.

The conductive layer can be filled with copper in the vias using methods such as Cu electroplating or Cu-core solder ball filling. For example, a bonding substrate is placed on an electroplating machine, an electroplating pad is pressed on, and the substrate is placed in an electroplating tank containing an electrolyte. Electricity is applied, causing the electroplating solution to flow continuously and rapidly over the substrate surface. Cations in the electroplating solution gain electrons on the inner walls of the vias, becoming atoms and depositing on the inner walls. Over time, the thickness of the copper on the inner walls of the vias gradually increases, eventually completely filling the vias.

In an exemplary embodiment, forming the second bump structure layer pattern may include: forming the second bump structure layer pattern on a second side surface of the connecting substrate on which the aforementioned pattern is formed, using a patterning process, such as... Figure 17 As shown.
[0186] In an exemplary embodiment, the second bump structure layer may include at least two second bump structures 52, one second bump structure 52 being connected to the end of the first conductive post 71 located on the second side surface, and the other second bump structure 52 being connected to the end of the second conductive post 72 located on the second side surface.
[0187] In an exemplary embodiment, the orthographic projection of the second bump structure 52 on the connecting substrate includes the orthographic projections of the first conductive post 71 and the second conductive post 72 on the connecting substrate, that is, the second bump structure 52 completely covers the end of the first conductive post 71 located on the second side surface and completely covers the end of the second conductive post 72 located on the second side surface.
[0188] In an exemplary embodiment, the second bump structure 52 may include a stacked second connection layer 52-1 and a second bump layer 52-2. The second connection layer 52-1 may be disposed on the connection substrate 30 and connected to the ends of the first conductive post 71 and the second conductive post 72 in the through hole, respectively. The second bump layer 52-2 may be disposed on the side of the second connection layer 52-1 away from the connection substrate 30.

[0190] The connection substrate is now complete. The connection substrate may include a connection substrate 30, a first conductive post 71 and a second conductive post 72 extending through the connection substrate 30 in the thickness direction, at least two first bump structures 51 disposed on a first side surface of the connection substrate 30, and at least two second bump structures 52 disposed on a second side surface of the connection substrate 30.
[0191] Part Four: Bonding Process
[0192] In an exemplary embodiment, the bonding process may include the following operations: placing the prepared first substrate 100 on one side of the first side surface of the connecting substrate 300, and flipping the prepared second substrate 200 and placing it on one side of the second side surface of the connecting substrate 300, such as... Figure 18 As shown.
[0193] Subsequently, after the first substrate 100, the second substrate 200, and the connecting substrate 300 are aligned and bonded together, the first substrate 100, the connecting substrate 300, and the second substrate 200 are pressed together using a metal-to-metal diffusion bonding method. One first bump structure 51 in the connecting substrate 300 is bonded to the first connecting electrode 41 in the first substrate 100; another first bump structure 51 in the connecting substrate 300 is bonded to the second connecting electrode 42 in the first substrate 100; and both second bump structures 52 in the connecting substrate 300 are bonded to the third connecting electrode 43 in the second substrate 200, forming an electrical connection structure between the first substrate 100, the connecting substrate 300, and the second substrate 200. Figure 19 As shown.
[0194] In an exemplary embodiment, during the bonding process, the bonding pressure can be approximately 40 kN to 100 kN, and the bonding temperature can be approximately 350°C to 450°C.
[0195] In an exemplary embodiment, through bonding processing, the first connecting electrode 41 in the first substrate 100 and the third connecting electrode 43 in the second substrate 200 are interconnected through the first bump structure 51, the first conductive post 71 and the second bump structure 52 in the connecting substrate 300. The second connecting electrode 42 in the first substrate 100 and the third connecting electrode 43 in the second substrate 200 are interconnected through the first bump structure 51, the second conductive post 72 and the second bump structure 52 in the connecting substrate 300. The first connecting electrode 41, the first conductive post 71, the third connecting electrode 43, the second conductive post 72 and the second connecting electrode 42 connected in sequence constitute a filter inductor with a three-dimensional spiral inductor structure.
[0196] In an exemplary embodiment, since the second connecting electrode 42 is connected to the fourth connecting electrode 44 through a via, and the first electrode plate 61 is also connected to the fourth connecting electrode 44 through a via, the filter inductor and the filter capacitor are interconnected through the fourth connecting electrode 44.
[0197] Finally, the first carrier plate 10A and the first sacrificial layer 10B on the side of the first substrate 100 away from the connecting substrate 300 are removed by laser lift-off process, and the second carrier plate 20A and the second sacrificial layer 20B on the side of the second substrate 200 away from the connecting substrate 300 are removed to form the filter of the exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, such as... Figure 1 As shown.
[0198] In an exemplary embodiment, the first sacrificial layer and the second sacrificial layer decompose more thoroughly when exposed to light, thus facilitating the separation of the first substrate from the first carrier plate and the second substrate from the second carrier plate.
[0199] This completes the fabrication of the filter according to the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure.
[0200] As can be seen from the structure and fabrication process of the filter in the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure, by separately fabricating a first substrate, a second substrate, and a connecting substrate, and then bonding the first substrate and the second substrate together on both sides of the connecting substrate, this not only achieves the integration of a three-dimensional spiral inductor structure filter inductor and a parallel plate capacitor structure filter capacitor onto a single chip, resulting in a high integration density and reduced filter size, but also avoids the problem of conductive pillar protrusion caused by high-temperature annealing or high-temperature thin film deposition processes on the connecting substrate, thus eliminating the problem of disconnection between the conductive pillars in the connecting substrate and the connecting electrodes in the first and second substrates. This disclosure further improves the connection reliability between the conductive pillars in the connecting substrate and the connecting electrodes in the first and second substrates by setting a bump structure on the connecting substrate, through which the conductive pillars connect to the connecting electrodes, thereby maximizing product yield. The connecting substrate of this disclosure uses a glass substrate, which not only reduces filter loss but also lowers production costs. The fabrication process of this disclosure can be achieved using existing mature fabrication equipment, requires minimal modification to existing processes, is highly compatible with existing fabrication processes, is simple to implement, has high production efficiency, low production cost, and high yield.
[0201] The structure and fabrication process of the filter in the exemplary embodiments disclosed herein are merely illustrative. In the exemplary embodiments, the corresponding structure and the patterning process may be modified or reduced as needed, and this disclosure does not limit the scope of the invention. For example, in an exemplary embodiment, n through holes penetrating the connecting substrate 300 in the thickness direction may be provided on the connecting substrate 300, and n conductive pillars may be disposed in the n through holes, and the n conductive pillars may be arranged regularly along a predetermined direction. A first connecting electrode 41 and n / 2 second connecting electrodes 42 can be disposed on the first substrate 100, and n / 2 third connecting electrodes 43 can be disposed on the second substrate 200. The first connecting electrode 41 can be connected to the first conductive post among n conductive posts, the (n / 2)th second connecting electrode 42 can be connected to the nth conductive post among n conductive posts, and the other multiple second connecting electrodes 42 can be connected to the (i+1)th and (i+2)th conductive posts among n conductive posts respectively. The multiple third connecting electrodes 43 can be connected to the ith conductive post and the (i+1)th conductive post among n conductive posts respectively. The n conductive posts, the first connecting electrode 41, the n / 2 second connecting electrodes 42 and the n / 2 third connecting electrodes 43 constitute the first filter inductor of the three-dimensional spiral inductor structure, where n is an even number greater than or equal to 2, and i is an odd number greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to n-2. The first connecting electrode 41 can be connected to the first pad of the resonator, the (n / 2)th second connecting electrode 42 can be connected to the first plate of the filter capacitor, and the second plate of the filter capacitor can be connected to the second pad of the resonator.
