Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of three-dimensional inductance of microelectronic integrated systems, and relates to a TGV-based multi-layer high-performance three-dimensional spiral inductor element with a magnetic core, a simulation design method, and a manufacturing process. Background Art
[0002] As an important component of passive components, inductors are widely used in network systems and devices such as power distribution networks, filters, and duplexers. Traditional on-chip planar spiral inductors have large parasitic values and a low quality factor. The inductor's magnetic field is perpendicular to the substrate and passes through the metal layer, resulting in significant eddy current losses. They also occupy a large area, seriously hindering the miniaturization of the overall integrated system.
[0003] Through-Glass-Via (TGV) technology achieves vertical chip stacking through the TGV structure, greatly improving the integration of circuits and shortening the interconnection distance between chips, thereby increasing the signal transmission speed and improving the quality and performance of the overall system. This technology has been vigorously developed in recent years, and the process technology has become increasingly mature. For example, the Chinese invention patent with the document number CN 119008578 A discloses a TGV packaging structure and method based on a coating process. There is a ring-shaped gap between the upper opening edge of the TGV blind hole of the packaged glass substrate and the conductive metal, and the ring-shaped gap is filled with a coating layer; the packaging method includes a multi-step process, which can significantly reduce the process cost and process difficulty, achieve the improvement of TGV cracks, and is compatible with a high-density TGV arrangement design.
[0004] The glass substrate used in this technology has excellent insulation properties, which can improve device losses. Compared with silicon-based inductors, it offers better performance, lower losses, and a simpler process. Therefore, TGV-based three-dimensional passive devices have research and application potential. However, there is currently little research on the TGV process and its integrated inductor devices. Therefore, the design of TGV-based integrated passive inductor components is of great significance.
[0005] In addition, in the existing microsystem integration process, high-frequency inductor devices are susceptible to parasitic effects and nonlinear characteristics of magnetic core materials in high-frequency working environments, resulting in insufficient stability in the application of inductance value L and quality factor Q. Traditional design methods rely on empirical trial and error or single parameter adjustment, making it difficult to achieve multi-variable collaborative optimization. There is a lack of a guidance model for accurately determining the relevant process parameters of the inductor according to demand, resulting in a large workload for designing inductors with specific frequencies and specific inductance values. The present invention establishes a quantitative relationship model between TGV inductor diameter, height and other parameters and inductance performance through a linear regression model and the least squares method, and proposes an efficient and accurate inductance performance control scheme, which significantly improves the design efficiency and device performance in high-frequency application scenarios. Summary of the Invention
[0006] One of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a TGV-based multilayer glass-based magnetic core spiral inductor. By combining the TGV process, RDL metal layers, and bonding, a multilayer spiral inductor is constructed in three dimensions, thereby reducing the occupied area on the plane. At the same time, the multilayer glass-based magnetic core spiral inductor fills the substrate cavity inside the spiral ring with magnetic material to serve as the magnetic core, greatly improving the inductance value and quality factor of the inductor, and can be applied to more miniaturized and higher-performance system integration.
[0007] A second objective of the present invention is to provide a design method for a TGV-based multi-layer glass-based magnetic core spiral inductor. By using methods such as neural networks and linear regression, the comprehensive influencing factors of various process parameters on inductance performance are implicitly or explicitly extracted, and a quantitative model is designed. According to the corresponding inductance value requirements, the corresponding process parameters and expected quality factors are calculated, which significantly improves the design efficiency and device performance in high-frequency application scenarios, and helps to quickly achieve the requirements of specific inductance and maximum quality factor.

[0071] The number of the first TGV structures is an even number and is at least two.
[0072] The multi-layer glass-based magnetic core spiral inductor based on the TGV process further includes a bonding layer, and the first TGV structure and the corresponding second TGV structure are connected through the bonding layer.
[0073] The bonding layer includes an upper metal bump, a lower metal bump, and an intermediate transition layer connecting the two.
[0074] The intermediate transition layer is made of copper, tin, gold-indium, tin-lead eutectic or copper-tin eutectic material.

[0078] The multi-layer glass-based magnetic core spiral inductor based on the TGV process also includes two first substrate layers and second substrate layers of the same type and size. The first TGV structure is entirely provided in the first substrate layer, and the second TGV structure is entirely provided in the second substrate layer.

[0085]
[0086] w core =p1-2*d
[0087] l core =p+d
[0088] Among them, t core 、w core and l core are the thickness, width and length of the core respectively.
[0089] See Figure 1 Based on HFSS three-dimensional electromagnetic simulation software, the basic inductor model is modeled. Through finite element simulation, the inductor inductance value L1 and quality factor matrix Q1 of the inductor under different parameter segments in Table 1 are obtained, as well as the normalized training set L 11 =L1 / L0 and Q 11 =Q1 / Q0. The changes in each parameter are as follows:

[0108] The required inductance value, L, is 2.4 nH. Based on the above explicit model, the four process parameters, d = 20 μm, h = 200 μm, p = 110 μm, and p1 = 100 μm, can be calculated and fitted to optimize the core size. The core size is determined by the above equation and the four process parameters, and the Q value is 39. Note that the results of the above explicit model solution may vary depending on the solution type, accuracy, and model method, and may even be unsolvable.

[0112] S3: If Figure 4 As shown in Figure (c), a 20nm titanium layer and a 500nm copper layer are deposited on the back of the glass substrate using a sputtering process. The titanium layer improves adhesion between the metal conductor and the glass, enhancing process reliability. The copper layer serves as a seed layer, preparing for subsequent electroplating.

Vacuum is applied for 5 minutes, and a temperature profile is set to solidify the magnetic material, forming a core structure.
[0115] S6: As Figure 4 As shown in (f), both surfaces of the glass substrate are polished using a chemical mechanical polishing process. The magnetic material covering the front surface is removed until the copper pillars are exposed. A small amount of magnetic material and excess electroplated copper are removed from the back surface until the copper pillars are exposed.
[0116] S8: Figure 4 (g) and Figure 4 As shown in (h), the designated redistribution layer, pads, and bonding bumps are manufactured on both sides of the glass wafer using photolithography and electroplating processes.
