[0052] See also Figure 1 An electronic device packaging structure of an embodiment of the present application includes a packaging module 100, an electronic device 400, an input matching module 200 and an output matching module 300; wherein the packaging module 100 has an internal cavity, and the electronic device 400, the input matching module 200 and the output matching module 300 are packaged in the internal cavity of the packaging module 100.
[0053] In the illustrated embodiment, the electronic device 400 is described by taking a GaN HEMT device as an example. The input end of the electronic device 400 is connected to the input matching circuit of the input matching module 200, and the input matching circuit is used to provide an input matching signal and gate power supply filtering for the electronic device 400; the output end of the electronic device 400 is connected to the input matching circuit of the output matching module 300, and the input matching circuit is used to provide an output matching signal and drain power supply filtering for the electronic device 400.
[0054] In the above-mentioned electronic device packaging structure, the packaging module 100 encapsulates the electronic device 400 and the input matching module 200 and the output matching module 300, thereby realizing input matching and output matching, so that the user no longer needs to perform secondary matching at the board level. Compared with the existing similar ceramic tube shell packaging devices, the input matching and output matching parts are saved, the occupied area of the peripheral circuit is reduced, and thus the integration is improved to a certain extent.
[0055] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The packaging module 100 includes a base 10, a first cover plate 20, a second cover plate 30 and an upper cover 40. The base 10 is arranged at the bottom, and the electronic device 400, the input matching module 200 and the output matching module 300 are installed on the base 10; the first cover plate 20 and the second cover plate 30 are frame-shaped and are sequentially installed on the base 10, and the first cover plate 20 and the second cover plate 30 surround the electronic device 400, the input matching module 200 and the output matching module 300, and form an internal cavity on the base 10; the upper cover 40 is covered on the first cover plate 20 and the second cover plate 30, and the internal cavity is closed to realize the packaging of the electronic device 400, the input matching module 200 and the output matching module 300.
[0056] In the illustrated embodiment, the input matching module 200 and the output matching module 300 are flip-chip mounted on the first substrate 70 and the second substrate 80, respectively, and the first substrate 70 and the second substrate 80 are mounted on the base 10. The first substrate 70 and the second substrate 80 are ceramic substrates, and the surface of the first substrate 70 is provided with circuits and electrodes matching the input matching module 200, which are used to match the input and output electrodes of the input matching module 200; the surface of the second substrate 80 is provided with circuits and electrodes matching the output matching module 300, which are used to match the input and output electrodes of the output matching module 300. The input matching module 200 and the output matching module 300 are electrically connected through the first substrate 70 and the second substrate 80, respectively, which reduces the length of the bonding wire in the wire bonding process, reduces the parasitic inductance introduced by the wire bonding, and improves the performance of the GaN HEMT device at high frequencies.
[0057] The first lead-out terminal 50 and the second lead-out terminal 60 are bonded to the first cover plate 20. The first lead-out terminal 50 and the second lead-out terminal 60 may be the input lead-out terminal of the input matching module 200 and the output lead-out terminal of the output matching module 30, respectively. The first lead-out terminal 50 and the second lead-out terminal 60 may be interconnected with the electrodes of the input matching module 200 and the output matching module 300 on the base 10 by wire bonding.
[0058] In the illustrated embodiment, two first lead terminals 50 are led out from a side of the packaging module 100 close to the input matching module 200, which are respectively a gate DC power supply terminal and a gate RF input terminal; two second lead terminals 60 are led out from a side of the packaging module 100 close to the output matching module 300, which are respectively a drain DC power supply terminal and a drain RF output terminal.
[0059] In the illustrated embodiment, the first lead-out terminal 50 and the second lead-out terminal 60 adopt a flexible film circuit board, and the lead-out terminal on one side of the first lead-out terminal 50 and the second lead-out terminal 60 on both sides is cut into a shape so that the first lead-out terminal 50 and the second lead-out terminal 60 have different shapes to distinguish the first lead-out terminal 50 from the second lead-out terminal 60.
[0060] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The base 10 of the packaging module 100 is made of diamond / copper composite materials (Diamond / Copper composites, Dia / Cu) and is plated with a metal layer on the surface, and is used for mounting the electronic device 400, the first substrate 70, and the second substrate 80.
[0061] The base 10 includes a diamond / copper composite material substrate 11 in the middle and a first metal layer 12 and a second metal layer 13 on both sides of the substrate 11. Figure 4 As shown in . Among them, the base 11 as the main body of the base 10 is made of diamond / copper composite material. Compared with the traditional flange material, the diamond / copper composite material has a higher thermal conductivity, greater than 500W / (m·K), and a low thermal expansion coefficient, about 5.5~6.5×10 -6 / K. For example, when the volume percentage of diamond is 35%, the thermal conductivity of the diamond / copper composite material is as high as 602W / (m·K), and the thermal conductivity is better than that of the traditional flange base, which can meet the thermal conductivity requirements of high-power electronic devices, such as gallium nitride devices, during operation. The base 10 using the diamond / copper composite material can be used as a heat sink for high-power chips, which can effectively reduce the chip junction temperature and improve the reliability and service life of the chip.
[0062] The substrate 11 of the diamond / copper composite material can be prepared by high-temperature high-pressure sintering (HTHP), vacuum hot-pressing sintering (VHPS), spark plasma sintering (SPS) and melt infiltration.
[0063] The first metal layer 12 covers the surface of the substrate 11, and can be formed on the surface of the substrate 11 by an electroplating process, and the metal with uneven outer surface is ground flat by a metal grinding process. The thickness of the first metal layer 12 is preferably between 7 μm and 10 μm, and the first metal layer 12 can be formed of metal materials such as nickel (Ni metal), titanium (Ti metal), titanium tungsten alloy (TiW alloy), etc.
[0064] The second metal layer 13 covers the surface of the first metal layer 12, and can be formed on the surface of the first metal layer 12 by electroplating or sputtering, and the flatness of the outer surface is ensured by grinding and cleaning. The thickness of the second metal layer 13 is preferably greater than 3 μm, and the second metal layer 13 can be formed of metal materials such as gold (Au metal), silver (Ag metal), titanium gold alloy (TiAu alloy), etc.
[0065] In the base 10, the first metal layer 12 (such as Ni metal) and the second metal layer 13 (such as Au metal) can improve the surface morphology of the base 11 of the diamond / copper composite material, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the patch.
[0066] The first cover plate 20 of the packaging module 100 is frame-shaped and is disposed above the diamond / copper composite material base 10. The first cover plate 20 is made of ceramic and is used to isolate the first lead-out terminal 50 and the second lead-out terminal 60 from the base 10.
[0067] To facilitate installation of the first cover plate 20 , the base 10 is recessed downward at the installation position of the first cover plate 20 to form an installation groove, and the lower end of the first cover plate 20 is assembled in the installation groove on the base 10 .
[0068] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The second cover plate 30 is frame-shaped and made of ceramic. The second cover plate 30 is mounted on the first cover plate 20 and presses the first lead-out terminal 50 and the second lead-out terminal 60. The outer circumferential dimension of the second cover plate 30 is smaller than the outer circumferential dimension of the first cover plate 20, and the inner circumferential dimension of the second cover plate 30 is larger than the inner circumferential dimension of the first cover plate 20. In this way, the first cover plate 20 and the second cover plate 30 form a step around the area where the SMD electronic device 400, the first substrate 70, and the second substrate 80 are placed on the base 10.
[0069] More specifically, if Figure 6 As shown in , the second cover plate 30 is rectangular and is surrounded by four frame bars 31 , wherein two opposite frame bars 31 are formed with first notches 32 on the surfaces in contact with the first cover plate 20 .
[0070] like Figure 8As shown in , the circumferential dimension of the upper cover 40 is the same as the outer circumferential dimension of the first cover plate 20, that is, when the upper cover 40 is covered on the first cover plate 20, the outer edge of the upper cover 40 is aligned with the outer edge of the first cover plate 20 in the up-down direction. The upper cover 40 includes a top cover plate 41 and a side enclosure 42 extending downward from the edge of the cover plate 41. The side enclosure 42 is a double-walled side enclosure, and a groove 43 is formed between the double walls of the side enclosure 42. The height, thickness, shape and size of the groove 43 match those of the second cover plate 30, so that when the cover plate 40 is covered on the first cover plate 20, the second cover plate 30 is embedded in the groove 43, that is, the side enclosure 42 clamps the second cover plate 30 in the middle groove 43 from both inside and outside, so that the overall sealing can be improved.
[0071] In the illustrated embodiment, the side periphery 42 of the upper cover 40 is in the form of a square frame, and at the position corresponding to the first notch 32, the two opposite sides of the side periphery 42 are formed with a second notch 44, so that when the bottom cover 40 is covered on the first cover plate 20 for sealing, the first notch 32 and the second notch 44 are aligned to form an exhaust port from the inside to the outside of the package tube shell 100. The exhaust port formed by the first notch 32 and the second notch 44 is used for internal exhaust during the sealing process, which can prevent the upper cover 40, the second cover plate 30 and the first cover plate 20 from being unable to closely contact the bottom plate 10 due to the thermal expansion of the internal gas when heating the sealing, and also cause the upper cover 40 to shift, thereby causing the poor airtightness of the package tube shell 100 and the problem of difficult automated operation.
[0072] The first cover plate 20 , the second cover plate 30 and the upper cover 40 are all ceramic frames, which can be formed into a desired shape by ceramic sintering.
[0073] In the electronic device packaging structure of the present application, the electronic device 400 inside the packaging module 100, such as a radio frequency power amplifier, needs to control the device switch by controlling the gate voltage at the input part, and the device needs to input radio frequency power after it is turned on to provide an input source for power amplification. In the output part, it is necessary to provide a drain voltage so that the device is working under a normal drain voltage. Therefore, an input matching module 200 is provided on the input side of the electronic device 400, and the input matching module 200 is used to provide the electronic device 400 with a radio frequency input matching signal and a gate power supply filter; an output matching module 300 is provided on the input side of the electronic device 400, and the output matching module 300 is used to provide the electronic device 400 with a radio frequency output matching signal and a drain power supply filter. Through the input matching module 200 and the output matching module 300, the electronic device 400 completes matching and filtering in the packaging module 100, and there is no need to perform secondary matching and filtering in the external environment, which saves PCB area and improves the integration of the product.
[0074] The input matching module 200 and the output matching module 300 are usually produced and processed using an IPD (Integrated Passive Device) process. Alternatively, if the product is used in a non-high-frequency scenario, the input matching module 200 and the output matching module 300 can use a thin-film circuit instead of an IPD to reduce costs.
[0075] The input matching module 200 includes an input bias circuit and an input matching circuit for providing a bias voltage, and the input matching circuit is connected between the output end of the input bias circuit and the input end of the electronic device 400. The output matching module 300 includes an output bias circuit and an output matching circuit for providing a bias voltage, and the output matching circuit is connected between the output end of the output bias circuit and the output end of the electronic device 400.
[0076] See also Fig. 9 , a typical circuit example of the input matching module 200 is shown in the figure. The input bias circuit is shown in the dashed box above. The third inductor L3 is a gate bias inductor. The third inductor L3 is connected in series with the second resistor R2 to provide a high impedance state for the RF signal to prevent the RF signal from being fed back to the DC bias input port during input, resulting in unstable DC bias; at the same time, two or more groups of capacitors are arranged in parallel, such as the third capacitor C3 and the fourth capacitor C4, which are used to filter stray signals of different frequencies and play a filtering role. The input matching circuit is shown in the dotted box below. A second capacitor C2 is set between the output end of the input bias circuit and the RF input port. The second capacitor C2 is a DC blocking capacitor used to isolate the DC bias, so as to prevent the DC signal of the input bias circuit from being fed back to the RF input port RF in when input to the input matching circuit, resulting in unstable RF input; the first inductor L1, the first capacitor C1, and the first resistor R1 are a matching circuit. By adjusting the first inductor L1, the first capacitor C1, and the first resistor R1, the electronic device 400 can be in the target working state; the fourth inductor L4, the fifth capacitor C5, the fifth inductor L5, and the sixth capacitor C6 are used to form an LC network to realize a broadband amplification function.
[0077] See also Fig.10 , a typical circuit example of the output matching module 300 is shown in the figure. As shown in the upper dotted box, compared with the input bias circuit of the input matching module 200, the output bias circuit of the output matching module 300 lacks the third inductor L3 and the second resistor R2, and the λ / 4 wavelength line is used to open the RF signal to prevent the RF signal from being fed back into the DC bias. The rest is consistent with the input bias circuit. The output matching circuit is shown in the lower dotted box, and the output matching circuit is consistent with the input bias circuit.
[0078] In addition, the input matching circuit of the input matching module 200 and the output matching circuit of the output matching module 300 can be replaced from a complete matching circuit to a pre-matching circuit according to actual needs to adapt to different needs.
[0079] The present application also provides a method for manufacturing the above-mentioned electronic device packaging structure, comprising the following steps:
[0080] S1, preparing the base 10, the first cover plate 20, the second cover plate 30 and the upper cover 40 respectively.
[0081] In the process of preparing the base 10, after forming the base 11 of the diamond / copper composite material, the surface of the base 11 is plated with a first metal layer 12, so that the first metal layer 12 covers the unevenness of the surface of the base 11 formed by the diamond / copper composite material, such as Fig.11 and Fig.12 Then perform surface grinding and polishing and plasma cleaning (plasma cleaning) to reduce the thickness of the first metal layer 12 and ensure that the surface of the diamond / copper composite substrate 11 has a good flatness and cleanliness, the completed cross-sectional structure as shown Fig.13 As shown in , the subsequent gold plating and patch quality are guaranteed. After completing the above steps, the second metal layer 13 is plated by chemical gold plating. After the second metal layer 13 is gold plated, it is polished and plasma cleaned for the second time. The cross-sectional structure after completion is as shown in Figure 4 as shown in .
[0082] S2, installing the first cover plate 20 onto the base 10.
[0083] S3, patch input matching module 200 onto first substrate 70, patch output matching module 300 onto second substrate 80; patch electronic device 400, first substrate 70, second substrate 80 onto base 10, and wire bond the input end of electronic device 400 to first substrate 70, the output end of electronic device 400 to second substrate 80, the first substrate 70 to first lead-out terminal 50, the second substrate 80 to second lead-out terminal 60. The process connects the electrodes of electronic device 200 to first lead-out terminal 50 and second lead-out terminal 60.
[0084] In the patch process, if thermal conductivity is required, nano silver glue can be used for patching. In this case, the upper surface of the base 10 needs to be roughened twice using chemical agents before patching to ensure the adhesion effect of the nano silver glue and ensure good heat dissipation performance. If bonding firmness is required, solder sheets can be used for eutectic soldering. In this case, there is no need to roughen the base 10 twice, and the requirements of heat dissipation and bonding firmness can be met at the same time.
[0085] S4, bonding the first lead-out terminal 50 and the second lead-out terminal 60 to the first cover plate 20 and leading them to the outside.
[0086] S5, installing the second cover plate 30 onto the first cover plate 20 and pressing the first lead-out terminal 50 and the second lead-out terminal 60;
[0087] S6, installing the upper cover 40 onto the first cover plate 20 for sealing.
[0088] The first cover plate 20 and the second cover plate 30 form a stepped structure, and the upper cover 40 is designed with an embedded groove 43. The groove 43 matches the stepped structure formed by the first cover plate 20 and the second cover plate 30 to form a stable interlocking structure for limiting the position during sealing and improving the airtightness of the package.
[0089] In the capping process, glue is applied to the portion of the upper cover 40 except the groove 44, and the exhaust needle is placed in the exhaust port formed by the first notch 32 and the second notch 44 to extract the gas in the internal cavity, and then the ceramic upper cover 40 is embedded in the second cover plate 30 for heating and curing. During heating and curing, it is necessary to use a pressing block placed on the upper cover 40 so that the upper cover 40 is tightly combined with the bottom. After the glue is cured, the exhaust needle is removed and the exhaust port is filled with glue again to complete the secondary seal. Exhausting the internal cavity can avoid the problem that when heating and capping, the gas in the internal cavity expands due to heat, causing the upper cover 40 to be unable to closely contact the bottom and the upper cover 40 to shift, resulting in poor airtightness of the tube shell and difficult automated operation.
[0090] In summary, the electronic device and the manufacturing method thereof of the present application have at least the following advantages:
[0091] (1) The packaging module encapsulates the electronic device in the internal cavity of the packaging module, and evacuates the internal cavity through the exhaust port on the packaging module. The internal cavity of the packaging module allows the electronic device encapsulated inside to be in a cavity environment rather than in a plastic packaging material. Compared with existing GaN+IPD products of the same type in plastic packaging, the problem of radio frequency performance loss caused by the large dielectric constant of the plastic packaging material is solved, and the device performance is effectively improved.
[0092] (2) The bottom of the packaging module is the base. The base 10 uses a diamond / copper composite material as a substrate. Compared with the traditional flange material, the diamond / copper composite material has a higher thermal conductivity and better thermal conductivity than the traditional flange base. It can meet the thermal conductivity requirements of the high-power electronic device 400 when working, improve the heat dissipation capacity of the overall device, and also improve the overall reliability and application scenarios. In addition, the manufacturing process of the diamond / copper composite base also solves the problem of the base patch void rate of the packaging module.
[0093] (3) The packaging module encapsulates the electronic devices and the input matching module and the output matching module, thus realizing input matching and output matching, and eliminating the need for users to perform secondary matching at the board level. Compared with existing similar ceramic tube package devices, it saves the input matching and output matching parts, reduces the area occupied by the peripheral circuits, and thus improves the integration to a certain extent.
[0094] (4) The input matching module and the output matching module are flip-chip mounted on the first substrate and the second substrate respectively, and the first substrate and the second substrate are mounted on the base. The input matching module and the output matching module are electrically connected through the first substrate and the second substrate respectively. In this way, the new packaging stacking design reduces the length of the bonding wire in the wire bonding process, reduces the parasitic inductance introduced by the wire bonding, and improves the performance of the product at high frequencies.
[0095] (5) The special design of the input matching module and the output matching module ensures the stable operation of the device while achieving broadband application of the device, thus broadening the application scenarios of the product.
