The number and density of various chips assembled on the substrate are also increasing to reduce the volume of power electronic modules and further increase the power density. After the front process of the wafer is completed, in order to improve the performance and heat dissipation capacity of the power chip, the wafer is usually thinned. The thinning thickness is usually between 50μm-250μm according to the needs. After the thinning is completed, some power device products also need to grow metal on the back of the wafer. Then the wafer is shipped to the packaging factory, where the wafer is cut and diced, and then the pellets are packaged.

The first metal layer 200 on the lower surface of the first tube core substrate 20 and the second metal layer 210 on the lower surface of the second tube core substrate 30 are both connected to the first adhesion layer 10.

[0021] In this embodiment, the pad (PAD) is an intermediate node connecting the internal circuit of the integrated circuit and the external package pin (Pin). The PAD is composed of the top metal in the integrated circuit and has an opening of a certain size. The specific PAD position is generally located at the edge of the entire chip. For some chips, the PAD position will be slightly away from the edge of the chip according to special needs. The first pad 40 and the second pad 60 are preferably of the same size and made of the same metal. The die is a tiny electronic device, usually made of semiconductor materials. It integrates a large number of circuit elements to achieve specific circuit functions. The size of the die is usually very small, perhaps only a few millimeters or even smaller, but it contains hundreds of millions of transistors and other circuit elements inside. These elements are interconnected by fine metal wires to form a complex circuit network. The first adhesion layer 10 is a blue film, the width of the groove 90 in the direction parallel to the first adhesion layer 10 is smaller than the diameter of the cavity 100, the size of the scribe line 80 is 5-10 μm, the depth of the groove 90 is 40-100 μm, the diameter of the cavity 100 is 20-60 μm, the cavity 100 is semicircular, the groove 90 and the cavity 100 are combined to form a funnel shape, the side wall of the cavity 100 is grown metal by magnetron sputtering or evaporation, and there are a third passivation layer 160 and a fourth passivation layer 170 on the side wall of the groove 90. The passivation of the side wall of the groove 90 can prevent pollutants such as movable charges from invading from the side wall, thereby improving the working reliability of the device.

[0022] It should be noted that in traditional processes, the chip size and spacing can be defined through processes such as lithography, etching, and diffusion, as well as the size of the scribe lane 80. In order to ensure that the subsequent diamond scribe will not damage the die, the reserved scribe lane 80 size is usually between 50 and 100 μm. If the chip size is small, the scribe lane 80 will greatly occupy the wafer area. When the die size is below 500 μm, the wafer area wasted by the scribe lane 80 will exceed 20%. In the actual scribe process, due to mechanical stress, it is inevitable that there will be a certain amount of edge collapse. When the edge collapse is too large, it will directly damage the die. In addition, due to the effect of mechanical stress, devices with normal computing surfaces may also potentially be damaged to a certain extent, thereby affecting the reliability of the device. When the wafer is very thin, it is easy to cause wafer fragments during mechanical scribe, and the die will be set with a lead frame for subsequent packaging. Therefore, the present invention prepares a groove 90 on the scribe line 80 and forms a cavity 100 under the groove 90, which can reduce the size of the scribe line 80 on the wafer from the traditional 50~100μm to 10μm, thereby improving the utilization rate of the wafer, and eliminating the physical cutting of the wafer through a special process, avoiding the problems of edge chipping and stress damage caused by cutting. The side walls of the device layer of the wafer are covered with a passivation layer for protection, thereby improving the reliability of the device.

[0023] It should be understood that by preparing a groove 90 in the scribe line 80 and a cavity 100 extending from the side wall direction of the groove 90 to the first adhesion layer 10, a third passivation layer 160 and a fourth passivation layer 170 are respectively formed on the first tube core substrate 20 and the second tube core substrate 30 corresponding to the side wall of the groove 90, which can greatly avoid the waste of tube core area and improve the integration of the chip; the first passivation layer 50 includes a first sub-passivation layer 110 located on the first bonding block 40 on one side of the first tube core substrate 20, a second sub-passivation layer 120 located between the first bonding blocks 40 and covering a portion of the first bonding blocks 40, and a second sub-passivation layer 120 located on the other side of the first tube core substrate 20 and the side wall of the groove 90 and covering a portion of the first bonding block 40. The third sub-passivation layer 130 of the block 40, the second passivation layer 70 includes a fourth sub-passivation layer 140 located between the second welding blocks 60 and covering a portion of the second welding blocks 60, and a fifth sub-passivation layer 150 located on both sides of the second tube core substrate 30 and the side wall of the groove 90 and covering a portion of the second welding block 60. The third passivation layer 160 and the fourth passivation layer 170 are formed on the side wall of the groove 90 for passivation layer protection to prevent contaminants such as movable charges from invading from the side wall, thereby improving the working reliability of the device; the thickness of the wafer can be further thinned, and the depth of the groove 90 of the dicing street 80 and the size of the cavity 100 can be adjusted according to needs to reduce chip costs and further improve the special needs of various tube cores.

[0024] See also Figure 2 , Figures 3 to 12 The present invention also provides a packaging method for an integrated wafer packaging structure, comprising the following steps: S1: providing a wafer, and forming at least two first tube core substrates 20 arranged at intervals, a second tube core substrate 30 located between the two first tube core substrates 20, and a scribe line 80 located between the first tube core substrate 20 and the second tube core substrate 30 on the upper surface of the wafer; In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a wafer refers to a silicon wafer used to make silicon semiconductor circuits. Its original material is silicon. After high-purity polycrystalline silicon is melted, silicon crystal seeds are added, and then slowly pulled out to form a cylindrical single crystal silicon. After grinding, polishing, and slicing, the silicon crystal rod forms a silicon wafer, i.e., a wafer. The first tube core substrate 20 and the second tube core substrate 30 are both silicon wafers; there are usually hundreds to thousands of chips connected together on a wafer, and a certain gap is left between them for easy dicing. The gap can be called a dicing road 80. The chip size and spacing are defined by processes such as photolithography, etching, and diffusion, and the size of the dicing road 80 is determined. In order to ensure that the subsequent diamond dicing will not damage the tube core, the size of the reserved dicing road 80 is usually between 50 and 100 μm.

[0025] S2: forming first bonding blocks 40 and second bonding blocks 60 arranged at intervals on the upper surface of the first tube core substrate 20 and the upper surface of the second tube core substrate 30 respectively, and performing photolithography etching on the scribe line 80 to form a groove 90; In this embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, after the scribe line 80 is determined, the device layer is completed, and metal interconnection needs to be made on the tube core, that is, the first pressure welding block 40 and the second pressure welding block 60 are formed. Preferably, the spacing between the first pressure welding block 40 and the second pressure welding block 60 is equal, and the spacing between every two first pressure welding blocks 40 and the spacing between every two second pressure welding blocks 60 are equal. The specific process is: the spacing between the device layer and the chip is defined by photolithography, and the spacing of the chip can be about 5-20μm, which is much smaller than the 50-100μm of the traditional process; then the scribe line 80 is photolithographically etched, and the width of the scribe line 80 is about 5-10μm. The etching depth is determined according to the final tube core thickness, usually between 40-100μm.

[0026] S3: depositing a passivation layer on the first bonding block 40, the first tube core substrate 20, the second bonding block 60, the second tube core substrate 30 and the groove 90, and photolithographically etching the passivation layer to form a first passivation layer 50 located on the first bonding block 40 and the first tube core substrate 20, a second passivation layer 70 on the second bonding block 60 and the second tube core substrate 30, a third passivation layer 160 and a fourth passivation layer 170 on the sidewall of the groove 90, wherein the first passivation layer 50 includes a first bonding block located on one side of the first tube core substrate 20 The first passivation layer 110 on the first die substrate 40, the second passivation layer 120 located between the first die substrate 40 and covering a portion of the first die substrate 40, and the third passivation layer 130 located on the other side of the first die substrate 20 and covering a portion of the first die substrate 40; the second passivation layer 70 includes a fourth passivation layer 140 located between the second die substrate 60 and covering a portion of the second die substrate 60, and a fifth passivation layer 150 located on both sides of the second die substrate 30 and the sidewalls of the groove 90 and covering a portion of the second die substrate 60; In this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the passivation layer is deposited and photolithography is performed: first, a passivation layer is deposited in the first welding block 40, the second welding block 60 and the groove 90, a photoresist 230 is coated and a portion of the photoresist is removed by etching to expose the welding block. At this time, the passivation layer is evenly grown on the inner side wall and the bottom of the groove 90, and the passivation layer at the bottom of the groove 90 is etched and the side wall is retained.

[0027] S4: chemically etching the groove 90 to form a cavity 100 extending from the sidewall of the groove 90 to the lower surface of the wafer, and bonding the first sub-passivation layer 110, the second sub-passivation layer 120, the third sub-passivation layer 130, the fourth sub-passivation layer and the fifth sub-passivation layer 150 with a second adhesion layer 220; In this embodiment, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, after the passivation layer is deposited on the first welding block 40, the first tube core substrate 20, the second welding block 60, the second tube core substrate 30 and the groove 90, the method includes: coating the passivation layer located on the upper surface of the first welding block 40, between the first welding blocks 40, the scribe line 80, between the second welding blocks 60 and the upper surface of the second welding block 60 with a photoresist 230; photolithography is performed on the passivation layer at the bottom of the first welding block 40, the second welding block 60 and the groove 90 to expose the first welding block 40 and the second welding block 60, and the passivation layer on the side wall of the groove 90 is retained to obtain the third passivation layer 160 and the fourth passivation layer 170; the groove 90 is chemically corroded to form a cavity 100 extending from the side wall direction of the groove 90 to the lower surface of the wafer. The wafer is chemically etched inside the groove 90, preferably isotropically, because the sidewalls are protected by the passivation layer, and the etching starts from the bottom, and finally a cavity 100 is formed inside the wafer. The diameter of the cavity 100 is about 20-60μm, and the final depth from the wafer surface to the bottom of the cavity 100 is about 80-160μm. The cavity 100 is etched using a chemical etching (wet etching) method. After the etching is completed, the surface stress of the wafer can be eliminated to a certain extent, preventing the wafer from warping and deformation during the manufacturing process. Among them, HF or HNO3 can be used for chemical etching. Wafer warping refers to the bending or twisting of the wafer during the packaging process. Wafer warping may cause alignment deviation, welding problems and device performance degradation during the packaging process.

[0028] S5: turning over the wafer and performing thinning and polishing on the lower surface of the wafer, removing the wafer extending along the cavity 100 toward the second adhesive layer 220 to separate the first tube die 180 corresponding to the first tube die substrate 20 and the second tube die 190 corresponding to the second tube die substrate 30 on both sides of the dicing road 80; In this embodiment, Fig. 9 and Fig.10After removing all the photoresist 230, the front side is adhered with paraffin or other easily removable adhesives to adhere the liner, i.e., the second adhesive layer 220. The thickness of the liner is between 200-600 μm, and the liner can be a common silicon wafer or a transparent quartz wafer. Turn over the wafer and perform thinning and polishing on the back side of the wafer. The thinning stop position is preferably at the center of the cavity 100. At this time, the tube core is completely separated from the scribe line 80, and the back side corners of the tube core (cavity sidewall) are removed. The distance between the first tube core 180 and the second tube core 190 on the back side is enlarged, so that it is not easy to stick together and is easier to separate in the subsequent metallization and film pasting and tearing processes. Among them, the stopping position for thinning and polishing the lower surface of the wafer is the center position of the cavity 100, the depth from the upper surface of the wafer to the bottom of the cavity 100 is 80~160μm, the spacing between the first tube core 180 and the second tube core 190 is 5~20μm, and the size of the dicing road 80 is 5~10μm.

[0029] S6: Perform metal growth on the lower surfaces of the first tube core 180, the second tube core 190 and the sidewalls of the cavity 100 to obtain the first metal layer 200 and the second metal layer 210, and adhere the first adhesion layer 10 to the first metal layer 200 and the second metal layer 210, and remove the second adhesion layer 220 to obtain a wafer packaging structure.

[0030] In this embodiment, Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, a metal layer is grown on the back of the wafer through evaporation, electroplating and other processes. The vertical side walls of the tube core are protected by a passivation layer and cannot be grown by evaporation or electroplating. However, metal will still grow at the sharp corners of the tube core on the back. Then a blue film is applied to the back, and the front lining is removed by heating and melting paraffin. The adhesive is cleaned with an organic solvent such as acetone. At this time, the tube cores on the wafer are separated, and the tube cores are completely transferred from the lining to the blue film. After that, the normal packaging process can be used for particle selection packaging. The first adhesive layer 10 is a blue film, which is also called electronic grade tape. It is known for its low cost and good Toughness and chemical stability have a place in the semiconductor industry. Its main features include: (1) Protecting the wafer surface: Blue film has strong toughness and can effectively prevent the wafer from being damaged during the cutting process, thereby protecting the integrity of the wafer; (2) Improving process stability: Blue film is resistant to high temperatures and has stable chemical properties.
