[0002] Advanced packaging is a new type of electronic packaging technology, which aims to integrate multiple chips or other electronic components together with higher integration, smaller size, lower power consumption and higher reliability through innovative technical means.
[0003] Embedded Multi-die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB) is a form of advanced packaging, which realizes the interconnection of various functional chips by embedding a bridge chip (Si Bridge Die) in the packaging substrate. The bridge chip has a wiring layer, which can provide an electrical connection path between functional chips to realize high-bandwidth and low-latency chip communication.
[0004] Advanced packaging in the form of embedded silicon bridge can be divided into die last and die first according to the process.

The bridging chip does not need to be connected to the bottom redistribution layer or the top redistribution layer by solder, so there is no reliability problem of the packaging structure caused by defects (voids or cracks) at the solder joints. The packaging structure provided in the specific embodiments of the present invention has good reliability.
[0050] If the bridging chip is connected to the bottom or top redistribution layer via solder, microbumps need to be formed on the top or bottom surface of the bridging chip.

Instead, it is bonded to the bottom redistribution layer or the top redistribution layer through an organic-inorganic hybrid bonding structure or an organic hybrid bonding structure. The key dimensions and spacing of the conductive structures in the organic-inorganic hybrid bonding structure or the organic hybrid bonding structure are smaller, which can increase the number and density of I / O, thus enabling denser I / O interconnection.
[0052] Organic-inorganic hybrid bonding structures or organic-inorganic hybrid bonding structures can effectively reduce the distance between the bridging chip and the bottom or top redistribution layer, which is beneficial to further reduce the thickness of the wiring insertion layer, reduce the warpage of the wiring insertion layer, and avoid the warpage of the wiring insertion layer affecting the manufacturing process.
[0053] Furthermore, the use of a hybrid organic and inorganic bonding structure eliminates the need for molding compound between the bridging chip and the bottom or top redistribution layer. Heat conduction between the bridging chip and the bottom or top redistribution layer occurs through the conductive lines in the hybrid organic and inorganic bonding structure, further improving the heat dissipation performance of the packaging structure.
[0054] Compared with the inorganic hybrid bonding structure between the bridge chip and the bottom redistribution layer or the top redistribution layer, the packaging structure provided by the embodiment of the application has a simple manufacturing process flow, low manufacturing cost, relatively low bonding surface cleanliness requirement, no need for high-temperature annealing after bonding, no influence on the device of the packaging structure, and high reliability of the packaging structure.

[0091] In the first embodiment, the back surface of the bridge chip 300 is connected with the front surface of the bottom redistribution layer 10 through the first bonding structure 40, which is an organic and inorganic hybrid bonding structure. The back surface of the bridge chip 300 does not need to be connected with the bottom redistribution layer 10 through soldering, so there is no problem of reliability of the packaging structure caused by defects (holes or cracks) of the soldering points. The packaging structure provided in the embodiment has good reliability. Moreover, the organic and inorganic hybrid bonding structure can effectively reduce the distance between the bridge chip 300 and the bottom redistribution layer 10 or the top redistribution layer 20, which is conducive to further reducing the thickness of the wiring insertion layer 1 and reducing the warping of the wiring insertion layer 1, thereby avoiding the influence of the warping of the wiring insertion layer 1 on the process operation.

[0092] Further, in the first embodiment, the first plastic sealing layer 310 covers the side surface of the first bonding structure 40 and does not fill between the back surface of the bridge chip 300 and the bottom redistribution layer 10.

Since the bridge chip 300 is connected to the top redistribution layer 20 by the organic hybrid bonding structure, the bridge chip 300 does not need to be soldered to the top redistribution layer 20 by forming micro-bumps on the top surface of the bridge chip 300, and thus there is no problem of reliability of the packaging structure caused by defects (holes or cracks) of the soldering points.

For example, the packaging structure provided in the present application can meet the requirement of I / O distance of less than 30 μm, while the I / O distance of a conventional packaging structure is usually greater than or equal to 40 μm. At the same time, the organic hybrid bonding structure can effectively reduce the distance between the bridge chip 300 and the top redistribution layer 20, which is beneficial to further reduce the thickness of the wiring interposition layer 1, reduce the warping of the wiring interposition layer 1, and avoid the warping of the wiring interposition layer 1 from affecting the process operation.

Specifically, the bottom redistribution layer 10 is formed on the first bottom support plate 900 by a photoetching process and an electroplating process, for example, the bottom redistribution layer 10 is formed by the processes of glue coating, exposure, development, electroplating, and glue removal.

[0126] Please refer to Figure 7 The first through hole 700 is formed by using photoetching mask to expose and develop the first organic dielectric layer 401.
