Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of electronic packaging and is suitable for high-frequency, high-speed radio frequency component multi-layer circuit interconnection. Specifically, it relates to a method and device for filling and sealing a large aspect ratio glass through hole based on liquid metal. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of aerospace, automotive electronics and other fields, RF systems will be deployed in higher frequency bands in the future to meet their development needs such as high performance, miniaturization and diversification. Glass is gradually being used in RF system packaging and RF components due to its excellent high-frequency electrical properties. Through-glass via (TGV) technology can achieve multi-layer electrical interconnection and is the core technology for achieving high-density packaging of RF systems. Filling is a key link in TGV technology. By filling the conductive material to conduct the current from one end of the through-hole to the other, it can ensure the electrical performance of the RF system and enhance the mechanical stability. Chemical / electroplating copper is currently the most commonly used TGV filling method. However, these methods still face huge challenges in filling TGVs with a large aspect ratio, mainly in the following aspects: (1) During the filling process of TGVs with a large aspect ratio, defects such as voids and depressions are easily generated, which affect the electrical and mechanical properties of the interconnect structure; (2) The adhesion between the glass hole wall and the metal material is poor, and delamination is easily present at the filling interface, which leads to curling or even shedding of the filling layer; (3) Due to the significant skin effect, unsatisfactory dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor, copper materials are difficult to meet the high-frequency and high-speed requirements of RF systems. Therefore, the development of new TGV filling methods and devices with a large aspect ratio is of great significance for promoting the miniaturization and diversification of high-performance RF systems.

[0003] Liquid metals, such as gallium-based alloys, have high conductivity and low resistivity, can achieve more efficient current transmission, reduce signal transmission loss, improve the signal transmission quality and efficiency of RF components, reduce signal distortion and attenuation, and better meet the needs of high-frequency and high-speed signal transmission. At the same time, liquid metal has good fluidity, which can realize adaptive filling of small, complex shapes, and large aspect ratio TGV structures, and ensure uniform filling and close interface contact, reduce contact resistance and signal reflection, and ensure electrical connection reliability. By selecting different liquid metal components or alloy formulas, its physical properties (such as thermal expansion coefficient, etc.) can be adjusted to a certain extent, which can better match the glass substrate and other packaging materials, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire packaging structure and reducing the risk of failure caused by factors such as thermal mismatch. In addition, liquid metal has a high thermal conductivity, which can effectively conduct the heat generated by the chip, improve the heat dissipation performance of the RF component, reduce the operating temperature of the chip, and thus improve the chip reliability and service life.

[0004] Through the above analysis, liquid metal, with its advantages of good fluidity, good electrical and thermal conductivity, provides a new idea and solution for high-quality, high-performance, high-aspect-ratio TGV filling. However, it is worth noting that liquid metal itself has fluidity, and the liquid metal filled in the TGV needs to be effectively sealed to prevent the liquid metal from overflowing from the TGV. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a method and device for filling and sealing a large aspect ratio glass through hole based on liquid metal, in view of the fact that defects such as voids and depressions are easily generated in the current traditional chemical copper plating and electroplating copper filling processes of large aspect ratio TGVs, the poor adhesion between the glass hole wall and the metal copper, and the difficulty of copper materials to meet the high-frequency and high-speed transmission requirements of future radio frequency systems.

[0006] The method of the present application mainly includes the design of a filling and sealing integrated device for liquid metal filling of glass through holes with large aspect ratios, nanosilver ink curing and sealing based on inkjet 3D printing. Compared with the traditional TGV filling method, which requires complex processes such as depositing a seed layer first and then electroplating, inkjet 3D printing can use the tip of the nozzle to directly print the filling material into the TGV accurately according to a set path, which not only simplifies the process flow, but also can achieve the precision filling of small-sized TGVs. At the same time, inkjet 3D printing allows the advantage of composite printing of multiple different materials, and nanosilver ink printing and photocuring methods are used to achieve the sealing of liquid metal in TGV. In order to further ensure that the liquid metal adheres to and spreads on the inner wall of the TGV and improve the wettability of the hole wall, plasma is used to bombard the inner wall of the TGV or laser is used to process micro-nano structures on the inner wall of the TGV. In addition, the device of the present application can simultaneously achieve precise filling and reliable sealing of TGV arrays with large aspect ratios.

[0024] Beneficial effects of this application:

[0025] (1) Excellent filling quality. Liquid metal is used as the filling material for TGVs with a large aspect ratio. It has good fluidity and can be precisely positioned using 3D printing methods to ensure that the liquid metal flows smoothly into and fills the TGVs with a large aspect ratio. The surface tension of liquid metal is low. At the same time, using plasma to bombard the inner wall of the TGV or laser processing of micro-nano structures on the inner wall of the TGV can improve the wettability of the glass hole wall. Even for TGVs with complex shapes, the filled liquid metal is still evenly distributed, which can avoid the generation of defects such as voids, thereby ensuring the uniformity and integrity of the filling.

[0026] (2) The interconnect structure has excellent high-frequency and high-frequency electrical properties. Compared with traditional metal copper materials, liquid metal has more excellent electrical conductivity, which can ensure that the filled TGV can meet the needs of high-frequency and high-speed signal transmission. At the same time, it can form a close electrical contact with the sealing layer material, which can reduce the risk of electrical signal fluctuations or interruptions caused by poor contact, and improve the electrical stability and reliability of the interconnect structure.

[0027] (3) Excellent heat dissipation properties. Liquid metal has a high thermal conductivity, which can quickly transfer heat from the chip to the heat dissipation components and the surrounding environment, reducing the chip operating temperature and thereby improving the chip's service reliability and lifespan.

[0028] (4) Effective sealing structure and sealing process. Liquid metal has good fluidity. Before and after the liquid metal is filled, the nanosilver ink is filled in the TGV with a large aspect ratio using the 3D printing method. Combined with the photocuring method, a sealing layer is formed at both ends of the TGV, which can effectively prevent the liquid metal from overflowing, thereby ensuring that the interconnection structure has stable electrical properties.

[0029] (5) Reliable integrated liquid metal filling and sealing device. An integrated device that can simultaneously realize liquid metal filling and nanosilver ink curing and sealing is designed. By coordinating the control of the X / Y / Z coarse and fine adjustment motion stage, the nanosilver ink multi-nozzle module, the liquid metal multi-nozzle module and the near-infrared light source, high-quality and high-efficiency filling and sealing of the large aspect ratio TGV array structure can be achieved.

The use of photocured nanosilver ink to seal the TGV with a large aspect ratio filled with liquid metal can effectively prevent the liquid metal from overflowing, thereby ensuring that the interconnect structure has stable electrical properties.

[0040] The specific steps of filling and sealing a large aspect ratio glass through hole based on liquid metal are as follows: Step 1, prepare a clean PDMS substrate 4 and a glass substrate 1 with a glass through hole 2, tightly fit the heat release tape between the glass substrate 1 and the PDMS substrate 4, and then put them into a heat sealer. Under the action of the pressure and temperature of the heat sealer, the heat release tape is completely melted to form a heat release tape sealing layer 3, so as to completely bond the glass substrate 1 and the PDMS substrate 4 together to form a substrate-substrate combination 19.

[0041] Step 2: Control the nanosilver ink multi-nozzle module 22 to move to the top of the glass through hole 2 for filling through the X-axis coarse adjustment motion displacement stage 7, the Y-axis coarse adjustment motion displacement stage 8 and the Z-axis coarse adjustment motion displacement stage 9; control the glass through hole 2 to be precisely aligned with the multi-nozzle module through the XYZ fine adjustment motion displacement stage 10, fill the nanosilver ink into the bottom of the glass through hole 2, and control the nanosilver ink multi-nozzle module 22 to stay away from the glass through hole 2 after filling.

[0042] The near-infrared light source 21 is controlled to move to the top of the glass through hole 2 for light curing through the X-axis coarse motion displacement stage 7 and the pneumatic device 20, and then the near-infrared light source 21 is turned on to light-cure the nanosilver ink to form a nanosilver sealing layer at the bottom of the glass through hole 2. After curing, the near-infrared light source 21 is controlled to stay away from the glass through hole 2.

The nanosilver ink is filled into the opening of the through-glass hole 2 and filled.

[0045] Then, the near-infrared light source 21 is turned on to perform light curing on the nanosilver ink to form a nanosilver sealing layer 5 at the opening of the through-glass hole 2. Similarly, the near-infrared light source 21 is controlled by the X-axis coarse motion stage 7 and the pneumatic device 20 to move to the through-glass hole 2 for light curing or away from the through-glass hole 2.

[0046] Step 5: Heat and separate the glass substrate 1 and the PDMS substrate 4. Take out the glass substrate and the PDMS substrate filled with liquid metal from the device and place them on a heating table. Use tweezers or other tools to separate the glass substrate and the PDMS substrate.

[0047] The through glass via 2 is a large aspect ratio array, which is prepared by a femtosecond laser induced wet etching method, and a femtosecond laser is used to prepare a micro-nano structure on the inner wall of the TGV, or a plasma is used to bombard the inner wall of the TGV to improve the wettability of the hole wall.

The cut heat release tape is tightly attached to the surface of the glass substrate 1 and the PDMS substrate 4, respectively, and try to ensure that no bubbles and wrinkles are generated at the bonding interface. Then align the glass substrate 1 and the PDMS substrate 4 with the heat sealing tape and put them into a heat sealer, set the temperature at 100-150°C, apply appropriate pressure between the two and maintain for 10-20s, until the heat release tape is completely melted and completely bonded to the two to form a heat release tape sealing layer 3.
