[0050] Specifically, the dicing processed surface may be understood as a surface formed by the end portion of the substrate or wafer that has been diced.
[0051] Refer again Figure 6 Regarding S120, it should be noted that an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a silicon capacitor based on end sealing, which may include, in a physical vapor deposition sputtering process, sputtering a first sputtering material on a first scribe processing surface and a second scribe processing surface, and further sputtering a second sputtering material on the first scribe processing surface and the second scribe processing surface sputtered with the first sputtering material; after the sputtering of the first sputtering material and the second sputtering material is completed, further performing an annealing process.

[0053] Specifically, a PVD sputtering process such as a sputtering coating machine can be used to sputter a metal film layer on the end faces of the stacked substrates. The sputtering materials include NiCr, Pt, W, etc. To ensure that the film layer has good adhesion after sputtering, ① the cleanliness of the end face needs to be checked before the sputtering process to ensure that there is no attachment on the surface; ② before sputtering the metal film layer, a layer of Ti metal film is first sputtered to improve the bonding strength between the metal film layer and the silicon substrate; ③ after sputtering, an annealing process can also be applied. Through the above sputtering process, the end face electrode obtained has good film quality and adhesion, and the end face after sputtering can achieve good electrical connection with the front electrode and back electrode of the silicon capacitor. Figure 6 As shown, the end surface electrodes are connected to the electrodes on the same side of the front electrode and the back electrode, respectively, to achieve the connection between the front electrode and the back electrode of the silicon capacitor, and at the same time, the capacitance value of the capacitor is increased by interconnecting the upper and lower electrodes. In addition, the end surface electrode acts as a seed layer to form an effective connection between the front and back electrodes and the end surface electrode, laying the foundation for the effective encapsulation of nickel, tin / lead in the subsequent electroplating process.

[0056] Specifically, put the silicon capacitor product into a fixture with holes that match the product size, arrange them neatly, and use the end-sealing machine to dip the product with the end face down (for example, a solution containing silver ions or copper ions); after one side is completed, dry it, turn it over and dip it with the other side (for example, a solution containing silver ions or copper ions), set the temperature to at least 200°C in a nitrogen environment for drying, so that the end electrode slurry is fully solidified and forms a good connection with the front electrode and the back electrode, so as to achieve the end-sealing of the slurry. Figure 6 As shown, the end surface electrodes are connected to the electrodes on the same side of the front electrode and the back electrode, respectively, to achieve the connection between the front electrode and the back electrode of the silicon capacitor, and at the same time, the capacitance value of the capacitor is increased by interconnecting the upper and lower electrodes. In addition, the end surface electrode acts as a seed layer to form an effective connection between the front and back electrodes and the end surface electrode, laying the foundation for the effective encapsulation of nickel, tin / lead in the subsequent electroplating process.

Specifically, at one end of the silicon capacitor particle, the three-sided electroplating layer may include a front electrode, an end surface electrode, and a back electrode. It should be noted that for the silicon capacitor product based on the end-sealing after the final electroplating, its two ends respectively include two end electrodes, such as a first end electrode and a second end electrode (also referred to as end electrode 1 and end electrode 2). Accordingly, the first end electrode may include a first end surface electrode, a first front electrode, and a first back electrode. Similarly, the second end electrode may include a second end surface electrode, a second front electrode, and a second back electrode.
[0061] Combination Figure 8 Regarding S120 and S130, it should be noted that the method for manufacturing a silicon capacitor based on end sealing proposed in the embodiment of the present invention may include: the electroplating treatment includes roller plating or ion plating.
[0062] Specifically, the products after slurry end sealing are electroplated, and the process of roller plating or ion plating can be selected to wrap the front electrode, back electrode and end electrode of the silicon capacitor with Ni, Sn / Pb or other metals such as Cu, Zn, Sn, Ag, etc., so as to realize the lead-out of the silicon capacitor electrode and the reliable interconnection of the double-sided silicon capacitor structure electrodes, and improve the solderability of the silicon capacitor product. For example, nickel plating protects the electrode end from corrosion, and electroplating tin increases the solderability, so as to realize the lead-out of the silicon capacitor electrode and the reliable interconnection of the double-sided silicon capacitor structure electrodes.

In other words, it is intended to reduce the requirements for the use environment, simplify the operation process, and realize the convenient interconnection of the electrodes of the double-sided silicon capacitor structure, thereby improving the overall performance and reliability of the silicon capacitor. The silicon capacitor based on end sealing provided by the embodiment of the present invention and its manufacturing method and manufacturing equipment enable silicon capacitors to be applied in more fields and promote the development of electronic equipment towards smaller size and higher performance.

[0068] Specifically, the end-sealed silicon capacitor uses a single crystal silicon wafer as a substrate and uses a semiconductor process to complete wafer production. The end-sealed silicon capacitor is small in size, has excellent high-frequency characteristics, low equivalent series resistance and low equivalent series inductance, a wide temperature operating range of -55~200°C, high reliability, and a ten-year lifespan at 100°C under the operating voltage. The typical maximum rated voltage scenario that can be applied can reach 100V, and it can be customized according to requirements to improve the capacitor's withstand voltage performance, and is suitable for radio frequency, power amplifiers, optical communications and other fields. The end-sealed silicon capacitor uses photolithography and deep silicon etching processes to prepare a 3D structure on the wafer surface to increase the effective plate area of the capacitor, thereby achieving an increase in the capacitance density per unit area of the capacitor. The embodiments of the present invention use PVD, CVD, ALD and other processes to prepare electrode layers and dielectric layers. Typical dielectric layer materials include but are not limited to silicon nitride, silicon oxide, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, hafnium oxide, barium titanate, strontium titanate, etc. Due to the characteristics of semiconductor technology, the process accuracy can be controlled below micron accuracy, based on which the capacity accuracy of silicon capacitors is controlled below ±1%. The electrode is patterned through RIE and other processes to complete the lead-out of the capacitor electrode on the surface. The metal surface electrode is prepared using sputtering and evaporation coating processes, and the metal material, process and graphics are selected according to the product packaging form. The silicon capacitor products prepared by the end-sealing process have the advantages of small size, direct mounting and use, and convenience and speed, which solves the limitation that conventional silicon capacitors can only be used for patching, wire bonding or ball planting.
