TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of piezoelectric composite materials and three-dimensional packaging, and particularly relates to a glass-based heterogeneous integrated structure with back holes and a manufacturing method. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, the development of glass substrates has driven the innovation of chip packaging field, and 2.5D and 3D packaging processes are popularized in various chips. As an important device of radio frequency module, the surface acoustic wave filter has developed from a single piezoelectric substrate in the past to a thick silicon oxide temperature-compensated surface acoustic wave filter, and then to a thin film type surface acoustic wave filter with high quality factor and low temperature drift coefficient. The single piezoelectric substrate in the past is not easy to be etched deeply, and it is difficult to etch a through hole in the substrate, which restricts the three-dimensional packaging of ordinary surface acoustic wave filters. The thickness of the piezoelectric thin film layer of the thin film type surface acoustic wave filter today can reach several hundred nanometers, and the etching process conditions of the piezoelectric thin film layer are very complete. At the same time, the glass blind hole through hole technology is also very mature, and is quickly applied to various glass-based chips to realize the 2.5D and 3D packaging of such glass-based chips, greatly improving the chip packaging integration, however, the surface acoustic wave filter packaging of the radio frequency module mainly relies on the back-dropping on the substrate, and the three-dimensional packaging technology is not mature. SUMMARY

The back holes are made on the heterogeneous integrated wafer and filled with metal, and the surface acoustic wave filter pattern can be made on the complete surface of the glass-based heterogeneous integrated wafer with back holes before the front piezoelectric crystal layer is etched. After etching the piezoelectric crystal layer, the bottom of the filled metal is exposed on the surface of the glass-based heterogeneous integrated wafer, and then the surface acoustic wave filter and the filled metal are interconnected by means of photolithography, evaporation or sputtering, electroplating and the like. The back surface of the wafer can be made into interconnection lines or metal signal discs to realize the back surface lead-out of signals.

[0008] Further, the filling metal is copper or tin, and solid filling or conformal filling is adopted.

[0009] Further, the bottom surface formed after the back hole filling metal is flush with the back surface of the glass substrate.

[0010] Further, when the back hole is a blind hole, a plurality of blind holes with the same depth are arranged in order and closely, adjacent blind holes are staggered, a winding dense blind hole pattern is formed, and a high-Q inductor is formed after the filling metal.

[0011] The application also provides a manufacturing method of the glass substrate with a back hole, comprising the following steps: S1, bonding a piezoelectric crystal layer on the surface of the glass substrate to manufacture a double-layer composite wafer, or stacking at least one heterogeneous thin film layer on the glass substrate, and then bonding a piezoelectric crystal layer on the stacked heterogeneous thin film layer to manufacture a multi-layer composite wafer; S2, manufacturing a blind hole penetrating the glass substrate on the back surface of the glass substrate, and then etching the corresponding heterogeneous thin film layer or / and piezoelectric crystal layer according to the design requirement to complete the etching of the back hole; S3, sputtering a filling metal in the back hole; S4, removing the sputtered metal on the back surface of the glass substrate by chemical mechanical grinding to realize bottom surface flattening, and then grinding the glass substrate to a specified thickness; S5, grinding the front piezoelectric crystal layer by chemical mechanical grinding to a specified thickness and polishing.

[0012] Further, when the through hole is processed, the blind hole etching is extended into the piezoelectric crystal layer, and the depth of the blind hole in the piezoelectric crystal layer is greater than the final thickness of the piezoelectric crystal layer after processing.

Before etching the front piezoelectric crystal layer, the surface acoustic wave filter pattern can be made on the complete surface of the glass-based heterogeneous integrated wafer with back holes. After etching the piezoelectric crystal layer, the bottom of the filling metal is exposed on the surface of the glass-based heterogeneous integrated wafer, and then the surface acoustic wave filter and the filling metal are interconnected through photolithography, evaporation or sputtering, and electroplating. The back of the glass-based heterogeneous integrated wafer with back holes can be made into interconnection lines or metal signal plates to realize the back lead-out of signals, thereby laying the foundation for the future three-dimensional packaging of high-performance surface acoustic wave filters.

The modified composite wafer is then wrapped with a fluoropolymer film of a corresponding pattern. After wrapping, it is placed in HF acid buffer solution for glass hole etching. After completion, the protective fluoropolymer film is removed.

[0070] S6: After etching, a blind hole 5 penetrating the glass substrate 1 appears on the back side of the glass substrate 1. The bottom of the blind hole 5 extends to the silicon oxide layer. In-situ etching is performed using conventional CF4 and Ar gases. The bottom of the blind hole 5 further extends to the polysilicon layer. Through in-situ through-silicon via (TSV) technology, C4F8, Ar and SF6 gases are introduced for alternating etching and passivation, which quickly penetrates the polysilicon layer until the bottom lithium tantalate layer is exposed. Then, the piezoelectric crystal layer 2 is etched, and the etching depth is greater than the designed thin film thickness of 600nm.

[0071] S7: Using a mature blind hole plating formula, copper is electroplated into blind hole 5 for conformal filling. The filled metal hole is inspected by FIB cross-section to confirm that there are no bubbles or cracks before proceeding to the next step.
