[0038] This invention provides a high thermal conductivity fan-out type packaging substrate, its fabrication process, and its application. The fabrication process includes: step S100, performing micro-arc oxidation treatment on a first side of the substrate to form a first insulating layer; step S200, immersing the substrate in a sealing liquid and performing low-temperature sealing treatment at a temperature of 40-60°C to form a sealed hole layer; step S300, forming a second insulating layer on the first side of the substrate using magnetron sputtering and / or atomic layer deposition; and step 400, forming a micro heat dissipation structure on the second side of the substrate to obtain the packaging substrate.

[0058] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0059] The first aspect of this invention provides a fabrication process for a high thermal conductivity fan-out type packaging substrate, comprising:

[0060] Step S100: Perform micro-arc oxidation treatment on the first side of the substrate 10 to form a first insulating layer 11, the forming structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the material of the substrate 10 can be aluminum, aluminum alloy, copper, copper alloy, etc. Preferably, the substrate 10 can be a 6-series aluminum alloy, such as aluminum alloy with model number 6061 or 6063. Usually, the substrate 10 is pre-cut into a suitable size and specification before processing. During processing, micro-arc oxidation is carried out in a micro-arc oxidation electrolyte. The micro-arc oxidation electrolyte includes: 10-20 g / L sodium silicate, 5-10 g / L sodium phosphate and deionized water, and the pH of the micro-arc oxidation electrolyte is controlled at 9-11. The micro-arc oxidation process conditions are: voltage 400-600V, pulse frequency 100-500Hz, pulse duty cycle 20-40%, and processing time 10-30min.

[0061] After micro-arc oxidation treatment, the thickness of the first insulating layer 11 must be controlled to be ≥20μm, the porosity ≤15%, and the breakdown voltage ≥700V.

[0062] Understandably, before micro-arc oxidation, the surface of the substrate 10 can usually be pretreated by polishing and cleaning to ensure the cleanliness of the substrate 10 surface. After micro-arc oxidation, post-treatments such as washing and drying can be performed. The microstructure diagram of its surface condition after molding is shown in the figure. Figure 2 As shown, the microstructure diagram of the cross-section is as follows. Figure 3 As shown.

[0063] Step S200: The substrate 10 is immersed in a sealing liquid and subjected to low-temperature sealing treatment at 40-60°C to form a sealed pore layer 20, the structure of which is as follows. Figure 4 As shown.

[0064] Specifically, the sealing solution includes: 5-10 wt% silane coupling agent, 1-3 wt% nano silica, 0.1-0.5 wt% fluorocarbon surfactant and solvent. The type of silane coupling agent can be, for example, KH-550 or KH-560. The particle size of nano silica is usually controlled at 10-20 nm. The type of fluorocarbon surfactant can be, for example, FC-4430. The solvent is a 1:1 volume ratio of ethanol / water mixture.

[0065] Step S200 specifically includes:

[0066] Step S201: Immerse the substrate 10 in the sealing liquid at a temperature of 40-60℃ for 5-10 minutes, and control the vacuum pressure to ≤10⁻² Pa for vacuum-assisted immersion. This can be understood as the substrate 10 and the sealing liquid being placed under vacuum conditions during the low-temperature sealing process. The silane coupling agent and nano-silica in the sealing liquid can achieve composite sealing.

[0067] Step S202: Bake at 120-150℃ for 30-60 minutes to form a sealed porous layer 20, controlling the porosity to ≤2%. The baking process can be carried out in an oven, for example. The formed sealed porous layer 20 is non-volatile. The microstructure diagram of its surface condition after molding is shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the microstructure diagram of the cross-section is as follows. Figure 6 As shown.

[0068] Step S300: A second insulating layer 21 is formed on the first side of the substrate 10 using magnetron sputtering and / or atomic layer deposition methods, and its formed structure is as follows. Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the microstructure of its surface after molding is as follows. Figure 8 As shown, the microstructure diagram of the cross-section is as follows. Figure 9 As shown.

[0069] Specifically, the magnetron sputtering method includes:

[0070] Using silicon nitride (Si3N4) with a purity ≥99.99% and a thickness of 5-10 μm as the target material, magnetron sputtering is performed under Ar / N2 mixed gas conditions, with a controlled power of 500-2000 W and a substrate temperature ≤150℃; or,

[0071] Alumina (Al2O3) with a purity of ≥99.99% and a thickness of 5-10 μm was used as the target material, and magnetron sputtering was performed under Ar atmosphere conditions with a power of 500-2000 W and a substrate temperature of ≤150℃.

[0072] Magnetron sputtering is a physical vapor deposition (PVD) technique that uses the combined action of magnetic and electric fields to generate plasma through gas discharge, thereby sputtering the target material onto the substrate 10 to form a thin film.

[0073] Atomic layer deposition methods specifically include:

[0074] Deposition was carried out using trimethylaluminium (TMA) and H2O precursors at temperatures of 80-120℃.

[0075] Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a method that deposits a material layer by layer onto the surface of a substrate 10 in the form of a single-atom film. It forms the deposited film by alternately pulsedly passing a gaseous precursor into a reactor, where it is chemically adsorbed and reacted on the substrate 10.

[0076] When trimethylaluminum (TMA) and water (H2O) are used as precursors for atomic layer deposition (ALD), they are alternately pulsed into the reaction chamber in gaseous form. The specific process is as follows:

[0077] 1) TMA pulse: First, TMA gas is pulsed into the reaction chamber, reacts with the substrate surface, forms a monolayer adsorption, and releases methane (CH4) as a byproduct;

[0078] 2) Purging: Unreacted TMA and byproducts are removed by purging with an inert gas (such as argon or nitrogen);

[0079] 3) Water pulse: Water vapor is then pulsed into the reaction chamber to react with the adsorbed TMA, replacing the -CH3 groups on the surface with -OH groups;

[0080] 4) Purging: Purging again to remove unreacted water and byproducts;

[0081] This alternating pulse method ensures the self-limitation of the reaction, enabling thin films to grow layer by layer with atomic precision.

[0082] In practical applications, the second insulating layer 21 can be formed by magnetron sputtering alone, atomic layer deposition alone, or magnetron sputtering and atomic layer deposition can be used sequentially to form the second insulating layer 21. The breakdown field strength of the second insulating layer 21 must be controlled to be ≥10 MV / cm and the surface roughness Ra≤0.1μm.

[0083] Step S400: After forming a micro heat dissipation structure on the second side of the substrate 10, an encapsulation substrate is obtained. Specifically, the micro heat dissipation structure includes one or more of the following: fin array structure 41, groove mesh structure 42, micropore array structure 43, and fluid biomimetic structure 44.

[0084] like Figure 10 As shown, the fin array structure 41 includes a plurality of fins arranged in parallel and / or radial patterns, the fins having a height of 100-500 μm and a spacing of 50-200 μm; Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the grooved mesh structure 42 has a depth of 50-300 μm, a width of 50-150 μm, and a mesh density of 10-50 lines / cm; Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the microporous array structure 43 has a pore size of 20-100 μm, a pore depth of 50-200 μm, and a porosity of 30-60%; the fluid biomimetic structure 44 includes a leaf vein-like structure or a shark skin-like texture structure, such as... Figure 15 A structural schematic diagram of the sharkskin-textured structure is shown, and the flow channel design can be optimized through fluid simulation to reduce airflow resistance.

[0085] In some embodiments, a hierarchical combination structure of grooved mesh structure 42 and micropore array structure 43 can also be adopted. The first level is millimeter-level grooves with a depth of 0.5-1mm, and the second level structure is micron-level honeycomb pores with a pore size of 10-50 μm. This hierarchical combination structure can increase the specific surface area by 5-8 times.

[0086] The process for forming the micro heat dissipation structure includes: chemical etching, laser processing, and embossing.

[0087] Specifically, the chemical etching process includes etching at a temperature of 25-40℃ for 5-15 minutes with an etching solution at an etching rate of 5-10 μm / min. The etching solution includes 10-20% hydrochloric acid, 5-10% nitric acid, and 0.1-0.5% benzotriazole. During etching, the surface roughness Ra of the second side of the substrate 10 needs to be controlled to be 1-5 μm.

[0088] The laser processing technology includes controlling the wavelength to 355nm, the power to 10-50W, and the scanning speed to 100-500 mm / s for laser processing. During laser processing, the structural size error is controlled to be ≤±5μm. The laser processing technology is more suitable for processing and forming the fin array structure 41 and the grooved grid structure 42.

[0089] The embossing process includes: controlling the pressure to 50-200 MPa, the temperature to 150-250℃, and the holding time to 1-5 minutes, and embossing with an embossing mold. The embossing mold is preferably made of hard alloy or ceramic with a temperature resistance of >300℃.

[0090] In actual processing, multiple processes can be used in combination. For example, a combination of chemical etching and laser processing can be used to form a multi-scale micro heat dissipation structure on the second side of the substrate 10, which can increase the specific surface area by 3-10 times compared to a flat surface and improve the heat dissipation efficiency by 40%-60%.

[0091] Meanwhile, mechanical strength is usually also considered when designing micro heat dissipation structures. For example, when designing the fin array structure 41, the chamfer at the root of the fin can be optimized by fin element analysis (FEA). The chamfer radius is usually 0.1-0.3 mm to reduce stress concentration. The bending strength of the substrate 10 is ≥300 MPa. The bending strength can be tested according to the ASTM C1341 standard.

[0092] Furthermore, the fabrication process also includes: step S500, forming an RDL wiring layer 30 on the second insulating layer 21, the forming structure of which is as follows: Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown.

[0093] Specifically, RDL (ReDistribution Layer) technology, by adding an additional wiring layer on the chip surface or interposer, can move I / O pads from the chip center to the edge, distributing them over a wider area. In this application, the RDL wiring layer 30 uses electroplated copper or a copper / titanium seed layer, and the line width / spacing is controlled to be ≤5μm. Furthermore, the adhesion between the RDL wiring layer 30 and the second insulating layer 21 is ≥50 MPa, and the adhesion can be tested according to the ASTM D3359 standard.

[0094] This invention utilizes a micro-arc oxidation process to first form a pre-oxidized layer as a first insulating layer 11 on the first side of the substrate 10, increasing the insulation of the substrate 10. Then, a low-temperature sealing process is used to fill the micropores in the first insulating layer 11, further preventing the first insulating layer 11 from being broken down and causing the substrate 10 to lose its insulation. This also facilitates RDL wiring and avoids thermal deformation of the substrate, while enhancing the chemical bonding with the second insulating layer 21. Next, an oxide film is deposited as the second insulating layer 21 using magnetron sputtering and / or atomic layer deposition. This further seals the pores and improves insulation, while also solving the wiring flatness problem, enabling it to serve as a base-surface wiring packaged device. Meanwhile, forming a micro-heat dissipation structure on the second side of the substrate 10 effectively increases the specific surface area, significantly increasing the heat dissipation efficiency of the substrate 10. This achieves a dual-functional integration of high insulation on the front and high heat dissipation on the back, meeting the packaging and heat dissipation requirements of high-power chips.

[0095] The packaging substrate prepared by the above-described process can form a combined insulating structure on the front side consisting of a first insulating layer 11, a sealing hole layer 20, and a second insulating layer 21. Taking aluminum alloy as the substrate 10 as an example, an Al2O3 layer as the first insulating layer 11, a SiO2-Si-O network layer as the sealing hole layer 20, and a Si3N4 / Al2O3 layer as the second insulating layer 21 can be formed to create a stepped dielectric constant distribution, reduce the concentration of the interface electric field, and improve the withstand voltage to ≥1500V. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity of the packaging substrate is ≥200W / m·K, and the overall packaging thermal resistance is ≤0.5℃·cm2 / W, thus enabling it to be compatible with high-power chips of 100W and above. The thermal performance of the packaging substrate can be tested according to the JEDEC JESD51 standard.

[0096] A second aspect of the present invention provides a high thermal conductivity fan-out type packaging substrate, which is manufactured by the fabrication process described in the first aspect.

[0097] The third aspect of the present invention provides the application of the high thermal conductivity fan-out type packaging substrate as described in the second aspect in semiconductor packaging.

[0098] The high thermal conductivity fan-out type packaging substrate of the present invention will be described below with reference to several specific embodiments: Example 1

[0099] A high thermal conductivity fan-out type packaging substrate is prepared by the following process:

[0100] Step S100: Perform micro-arc oxidation treatment on the first side of the substrate 10 to form a first insulating layer 11. The micro-arc oxidation electrolyte includes: 10 g / L sodium silicate, 5 g / L sodium phosphate and deionized water, and control the pH of the micro-arc oxidation electrolyte to be 9. The micro-arc oxidation treatment process conditions are: voltage 400V, pulse frequency 100Hz, pulse duty cycle 20%, and treatment time 30min. After micro-arc oxidation treatment, the thickness of the first insulating layer 11 needs to be controlled to be ≥20μm, the porosity ≤15%, and the breakdown voltage ≥700V.

[0101] Step S200: The substrate 10 is immersed in a sealing liquid and subjected to low-temperature sealing treatment at 40°C to form a sealed pore layer 20. The sealing liquid includes 5 wt% silane coupling agent, 1 wt% nano silica, 0.1 wt% fluorocarbon surfactant and solvent, wherein the solvent is an ethanol / water mixture with a volume ratio of 1:1.

[0102] Step S200 specifically includes:

[0103] Step S201: Immerse the substrate 10 in the sealing liquid at 40°C for 10 minutes, and control the vacuum pressure to ≤10⁻² Pa for vacuum-assisted impregnation;

[0104] Step S202: Bake at 120℃ for 60 minutes to form a sealed pore layer 20, controlling the porosity to ≤2%.
