The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.
[0060] At present, with people's continuous pursuit of more perfect functions of electronic products, the integration of integrated circuits is getting higher and higher, the number of chip I / Os is increasing, and the integration of system modules is also getting higher and higher, which makes the connection between chip (IC) level packaging and circuit board (PCB) level packaging technology closer and closer.
[0061] Therefore, embedded component packaging came into being. However, since the temperature of GaN chips is relatively high during operation, better heat dissipation design is needed to exert their excellent performance.
[0062] The current mainstream heat dissipation path only focuses on the top and bottom of the chip for vertical heat dissipation. For embedded three-dimensional packaging, the resin layer around the side of the chip also accumulates a lot of heat.
[0063] For example, Figure 1A A schematic diagram of a chip packaging structure provided by related technology 1, Figure 1B A schematic diagram of a chip packaging structure provided by related technology 2, Figure 1C A schematic diagram of a chip packaging structure provided by related technology 3, Figure 1D A schematic diagram of a chip packaging structure provided by related technology 4, Figure 1E A schematic diagram of a chip packaging structure provided by related technology 5, such as Figure 1A As shown, in related art 1,
[0064] The chip packaging structure includes a substrate, a thermally conductive adhesive 2A, and a chip 1A. The chip 1A is bonded to the substrate through the thermally conductive adhesive 2A. The heat generated by the chip 1A during operation is transferred to the substrate through the thermally conductive adhesive 2A for heat dissipation. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity of the thermally conductive adhesive is in the range of [0.6W / (m·K), 1.5W / (m·K)]. For example, in one example, the thermal conductivity of the thermally conductive adhesive is 0.6W / (m·K), 0.9W / (m·K), 1W / (m·K), 1.2W / (m·K), and 1.5W / (m·K).
[0065] In the related art 2, Figure 1B As shown, the chip packaging structure includes a substrate, a plurality of blind vias Va, and a chip 1B. The chip 1B is connected to the substrate through the blind vias Va. Further, a dielectric material is provided in the blind vias Va, and the thermal conductivity of the dielectric material is 0.6W / (m·K). The heat generated by the chip 1B during operation is transferred to the substrate through the dielectric material in the blind vias Va for heat dissipation.
[0066] In related art 3, Figure 1C As shown, Figure 1CAs shown, the chip packaging structure includes an insulated metal substrate IMS, (Insulated Metal Substrate), a gate driver board GDB, (Gate Driver Board), and a chip 3A. The heat generated by the chip 3A during operation is dissipated through the insulated metal substrate IMS.
[0067] In the related art 4, Figure 1D As shown, the chip packaging structure includes a base plate, a base plate DBC, and a chip GaN Device, wherein the chip GaN Device is arranged on the base plate DBC, and the heat generated by the chip GaN Device during operation is conducted to the base plate through the base plate DBC, and the heat is dissipated through the base plate DBC and the base plate.

[0069] In summary, in the current related technologies, the chip in the chip packaging structure mainly relies on thermal conductive adhesive, blind holes, insulating metal plates, or copper blocks for heat dissipation. However, compared with GaN chips, the heat dissipation effect of the chip packaging structure in the above-mentioned related technologies cannot meet the operating temperature of the GaN chip, thereby affecting the normal operation of the chip and making it unable to exert its higher power density.
[0070] In addition, in the current related technology, the heat dissipation path in the chip packaging structure is a vertical heat dissipation path, that is, a heat dissipation path from the top of the chip packaging structure to the bottom of the chip packaging structure.
[0071] However, in the GaN chip packaging structure, a resin layer is provided around the GaN chip to protect the chip. However, due to the low thermal conductivity of the resin layer, the chip packaging structure in the related art cannot achieve three-dimensional efficient heat dissipation of the chip.
[0072] The following is an analysis of the heat dissipation path and heat dissipation performance of the chip packaging structure in related technologies 1-5 based on the principles:

[0110] S10, forming a first heat dissipation layer provided with a first groove on the bottom and side of the chip by using a magnetron sputtering process;
[0111] S20, using a copper block to make a second heat dissipation layer;
[0112] S30, using a pressureless sintering process to sinter the sintering material filled between the first heat dissipation layer and the second heat dissipation layer to form a sintered layer; wherein the material of the sintered layer includes copper.
[0113] On the basis of the above embodiments, the present application also provides a specific embodiment of a method for preparing a chip packaging structure, wherein: Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a process for preparing a chip packaging structure provided in this application, Figure 4A to Figure 4O A schematic diagram of a process for preparing a chip packaging structure provided in this application, such as Figure 3 as well as Figure 4A to Figure 4O As shown, the method includes:
[0114] S1. Using a magnetron sputtering process, a titanium layer and a copper layer are sputtered on the bottom and side of the chip in sequence to form a first heat dissipation layer. The chip may be a GaN chip.
[0115] Furthermore, a pad is provided on the chip, and the upper surface of the pad is not higher than the upper surface of the passivation layer on the surface of the chip 2. This arrangement can prevent short circuit problems when the chip 2 is side-sputtered.
[0116] For example, in one example, a 0.1 μm Ti layer and a 4 μm copper layer (first heat dissipation layer) are sequentially sputtered on the back side of the substrate of the chip 2 (the substrate is generally a Si substrate) by magnetron sputtering for interconnection in the back-end sintering process, thereby improving interlayer reliability.
[0117] Then, sputtering is performed on the side (left and right sides) of the chip 2 by magnetron sputtering: the chip 2 with the first heat dissipation layer is placed on the magnetron sputtering platform so that it is perpendicular to the sputtering surface, and a 0.1μm Ti layer and a 4μm copper layer (second heat dissipation layer 4) are formed on the side of the chip 2 with the first heat dissipation layer.
[0118] S2. Use a pressureless sintering process to sinter the first heat dissipation layer and the second heat dissipation layer 4; use a dispensing process to fill the sintering material between the chip and the substrate to form a sintering layer, and obtain a sample.
[0119] In the pressureless sintering process, the thickness of the copper film can be directly attached to the second heat dissipation layer 4 to be approximately 75 μm, and the sintering conditions are: baking at 250° C. for 3 hours without oxygen (under nitrogen atmosphere). In this way, the sintered layer can have good flatness.
[0120] Alternatively, the nano copper paste may be placed on the second heat dissipation layer 4 by screen printing or dispensing. At this time, the thickness of the nano copper paste needs to be kept at approximately 100 μm.
[0121] The GaN chip 2 processed as above is attached to the second heat dissipation film, and the pad of the GaN chip 2 is located at the side away from the substrate. This arrangement can make the offset tolerance of the GaN chip 2 ≤ 10 μm.
