Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor packaging, and particularly relates to a manufacturing method and a product of a packaging structure for improving the reliability of in-vehicle chips. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of semiconductor product packaging technology, the industry's application requirements for products are also getting higher and higher. The structure of products is becoming increasingly complex, leading to a series of technical problems. Among them, improving the reliability of in-vehicle products is a difficult problem in the industry. In the in-vehicle imaging chip industry, a double-layer insulation layer structure of a low dielectric constant material and an organic passivation layer is usually used to improve the reliability of electrification, but this also brings problems such as chips caused by product warping.

[0003] For the organic passivation layer used in the TSV industry process flow, due to the structural problems of the product itself, it often leads to uneven glue thickness in the hole and groove, such as too thick at the inner corner of the groove and too thin at the inner wall of the hole. In this way, the product has both the risk of leakage and the warping caused by too thick glue thickness of the product and the reliability delamination caused by too thin at the corner of the solder mask layer groove. At the same time, the use of the organic passivation layer also greatly increases the packaging material cost. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the technical problems of reliability failure caused by product warping and leakage in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing method and a product of a packaging structure for improving the reliability of in-vehicle chips.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose and reach the above technical effects, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A manufacturing method of a packaging structure for improving the reliability of in-vehicle chips, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Complete the bonding of the substrate and the in-vehicle chip;

[0008] Step 2: Complete the thinning of the in-vehicle chip and the etching of the through-silicon via;

[0009] Step 3: Perform pre-oxidation treatment on the in-vehicle chip;

[0010] Step 4: Perform oxidation treatment on the in-vehicle chip;

[0011] Step 5: Prepare a dielectric layer on the surface of the in-vehicle chip;

[0012] Step 6: Prepare an RDL (Redistribution Layer) on the surface of the in-vehicle chip and connect it to the PAD of the in-vehicle chip, then cover the solder mask layer on the surface of the in-vehicle chip and form a signal output structure;

[0013] Step 7: Cut the product obtained in Step 6 into single dies.

[0014] Further, in Step 1, the steps of completing the bonding between the substrate and the in-vehicle chip include:

[0015] Coat a negative photoresist on the surface of the substrate, form a cofferdam through a photolithography process, apply a bonding adhesive on the cofferdam, and mount the in-vehicle chip on the substrate through the bonding adhesive.

[0016] Further, in Step 3, the steps of performing pre-oxidation treatment on the in-vehicle chip include:

[0017] Successively prepare a barrier layer and a positive photoresist on the surface of the in-vehicle chip. Through the photolithography process, only the positive photoresist is retained in the photosensitive area of the in-vehicle chip to protect the barrier layer under the photosensitive area from being oxidized by the subsequent oxidation process.

[0018] Further, the material of the barrier layer includes copper or aluminum.

[0019] Further, in Step 4, the steps of performing oxidation treatment on the in-vehicle chip include:

[0020] On the surface of the in-vehicle chip, the barrier layer not covered by the positive photoresist is made into an oxide layer through an anodic oxidation process. Then, the positive photoresist is removed from the photosensitive area, exposing the barrier layer above the photosensitive area.

[0021] Further, the material of the oxide layer includes copper oxide or aluminum oxide.

[0022] Further, in Step 5, the material of the dielectric layer includes silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, or aluminum oxide.

[0023] Further, in Step 6, first open the bottom of the through-silicon via to expose the PAD of the in-vehicle chip. Then, prepare an RDL (Redistribution Layer) on the surface of the in-vehicle chip and connect it to the PAD. Next, cover the surface of the in-vehicle chip with a solder mask layer, open the surface pads, and form a signal output structure.

[0024] Further, the solder mask layer is a negative photoresist, the material is polyisoprene, and the thickness is 10 - 20 μm.

[0025] The present invention also discloses a packaging structure for improving the reliability of in-vehicle chips, which is manufactured by using the manufacturing method of a packaging structure for improving the reliability of in-vehicle chips as described above. The packaging structure includes a substrate, an in-vehicle chip is mounted on the substrate. A barrier layer is provided in the photosensitive area of the in-vehicle chip, an oxide layer is provided in the non-photosensitive area of the in-vehicle chip. A dielectric layer, an RDL redistribution layer, and a solder mask layer are successively provided on the surface of the in-vehicle chip from the inside to the outside. The RDL redistribution layer is connected to the PAD of the in-vehicle chip, and a signal output structure is connected to the RDL redistribution layer.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0027] The present invention discloses a manufacturing method and a product of a packaging structure for improving the reliability of in-vehicle chips. The manufacturing method requires first completing the chip bonding, thinning, and through-silicon via processes, then preparing a barrier layer and a positive photoresist on the chip surface. After the lithography process, the positive photoresist is retained in the photosensitive area. The barrier layer is used to absorb and block infrared light. The remaining exposed part of the barrier layer forms an oxide layer through an anodic oxidation process, and then the positive photoresist is removed to expose the barrier layer in the photosensitive area. Then, a dielectric layer is prepared on the chip surface. Finally, through the RDL, solder mask, ball mounting, and final cutting processes, the TSV packaging is completed. By adopting the above process steps, the problems of product warping and leakage are solved, the problem of too thin adhesive thickness at the corners of the solder mask grooves is solved, the product stress is reduced, and the PAD will not be pulled up by the stress, significantly improving the reliability. At the same time, the step of the organic passivation layer is omitted, the whole process is reduced, the packaging cost is greatly reduced, and the production capacity is significantly improved, which is suitable for industrial promotion and use.
