[0017] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the embodiments of the present disclosure are further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 An aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure provides a chip packaging method S100, which can specifically include: S110, providing a chip, and forming a plurality of magnetic bumps on a functional surface of the chip.

[0019] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 A chip 110 is provided, and a plurality of magnetic bumps 111 are formed on the functional surface of the chip.

[0020] Specifically, forming a plurality of magnetic bumps on the functional surface of the chip can include: A magnetic alloy is prepared, and the magnetic alloy is processed into magnetic particles of nanometer level by laser cutting technology.

[0021] The magnetic particles are uniformly mixed with bump solder to form a composite magnetic solder.

[0022] The composite magnetic solder is electroplated on the functional surface of the chip to form a plurality of magnetic bumps.

[0023] Specifically, the process of preparing the magnetic alloy can include: taking iron as the matrix, adding aluminum, nickel and cobalt to form an aluminum-nickel-cobalt magnetic alloy. That is, the magnetic particles formed are aluminum-nickel-cobalt magnetic particles. The aluminum-nickel-cobalt magnetic particles are uniformly mixed with the bump solder to form a composite magnetic solder. The composite magnetic solder is electroplated on the functional surface of the chip to form a plurality of aluminum-nickel-cobalt magnetic bumps.

[0024] In this embodiment, the magnetic bump is an aluminum-nickel-cobalt magnetic bump, so that the magnetic bump has permanent magnetism. The aluminum-nickel-cobalt material itself belongs to a permanent magnet material, and does not need an external magnetic field to exert magnetism on the material, thereby saving equipment and process costs. The aluminum-nickel-cobalt material has low resistivity and strong conductivity, which avoids signal interference caused by magnetic pollution, enhances the electrical signal flowability, and improves product reliability.

[0025] S120, providing a substrate, and forming a plurality of magnetic pads on a functional surface of the substrate, the magnetic pads corresponding to the magnetic bumps.

[0026] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2As shown, a substrate 120 is provided. The functional surfaces of the substrate 120 are cleaned, and a magnetic plating layer is applied to the solder joints on the functional surfaces of the substrate 120 using electroplating or chemical plating processes to form the magnetic pads 121. The magnetic pads 121 correspond to the magnetic bumps 111.

[0027] Preferably, in this embodiment, the magnetic plating layer is a magnetic nickel plating layer. That is, the magnetic pad 121 is a magnetic nickel plating pad. The magnetic pad uses a magnetic nickel plating layer because nickel is a common ferromagnetic metal, has good compatibility with semiconductor packaging processes (commonly used in UBM and surface treatment), and the cost is controllable.

[0028] S130. The functional surface of the chip is flip-chip mounted onto the functional surface of the substrate, wherein the magnetic bumps and the magnetic pads are automatically aligned and electrically connected by magnetic adsorption.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the functional surface of a chip 110 with magnetic bumps 111 is flip-chip mounted onto the functional surface of a substrate 120. The magnetic bumps 111 and the magnetic pads 121 are automatically aligned and electrically connected via magnetic attraction. The magnetic bumps 111, acting as permanent magnets, generate a magnetic field. The magnetic pads 121, being ferromagnetic, are magnetized by this magnetic field, generating an induced magnetic field. A magnetic attraction force is generated between the magnetic bumps 111 and the magnetic pads 121. During chip mounting, automatic position correction between the chip 110 and the substrate 120 can be achieved, preventing positional misalignment and improving alignment accuracy. The alignment accuracy range of the magnetic bumps 111 and the magnetic pads 121 via magnetic attraction is ±2 μm, significantly improving alignment precision.

[0030] In this embodiment, specifically, during the flip-chip mounting of chip 110 onto substrate 120, the AlNiCo magnetic bumps and the magnetic nickel-plated pads are automatically aligned and electrically connected through magnetic adsorption.

[0031] For example, after flip-chip mounting the functional surface of the chip onto the functional surface of the substrate, the method includes: like Figure 3 As shown, the mounted chip 110 and the substrate 120 are reflow soldered in a high-temperature furnace to solder and fix the magnetic bumps 111 of the chip 110 to the magnetic pads 121 of the substrate 120.

[0032] S140. An underfill layer is formed on the chip and the substrate to further fix the chip.

[0033] like Figure 4As shown, the underfill glue is filled between the chip 110 and the substrate 120, and the underfill glue layer 130 is formed by heating through processes such as baking, further reinforcing the chip 110 and improving the reliability of the packaging structure.

[0034] The chip packaging method of the embodiment of the present disclosure forms a plurality of magnetic bumps on the functional surface of the chip, forms a plurality of magnetic pads corresponding to the magnetic bumps on the functional surface of the substrate, and when the functional surface of the chip is flip-chip mounted on the functional surface of the substrate, the magnetic bumps and the magnetic pads are automatically aligned and electrically connected through magnetic attraction. The automatic position alignment is performed through the magnetic attraction between the magnetic bumps and the magnetic pads when the chip is mounted, the stability of the chip mounting position is enhanced, the automatic alignment accuracy of the magnetic attraction is ±2μm, the dependence on the equipment mounting precision is reduced, the chip mounting position deviation is effectively reduced, the production yield is improved, and the product reliability performance is improved. No external magnetic field is needed to apply magnetism to the material, saving equipment and process costs; reducing the inspection alarm of the chip position, reducing the number of times of reprocessing and adjusting the chip mounting position, and reducing the processing cost and time cost.

[0035] As shown, Figure 4 Another aspect of the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a chip packaging structure, which includes a substrate 120, a chip 110 flip-chip mounted on the substrate 120, and an underfill glue layer 130 arranged between the substrate 120 and the chip 110.

[0036] The functional surface of the substrate 120 is provided with a plurality of magnetic pads 121, and the functional surface of the chip 110 is provided with a plurality of magnetic bumps 111, and the magnetic pads 121 correspond to the magnetic bumps 111; wherein the magnetic bumps 111 and the magnetic pads 121 are magnetically attracted and fixedly connected, realizing the automatic alignment between the chip 110 and the substrate 120, avoiding position deviation, and improving the stability of the chip mounting position.

[0037] Illustratively, the magnetic bumps 111 are aluminum-nickel-cobalt magnetic bumps. The aluminum-nickel-cobalt material itself belongs to a permanent magnet material, and no external magnetic field is needed to apply magnetism to the material, saving equipment and process costs; the aluminum-nickel-cobalt material has low resistivity and strong conductivity, avoiding signal interference caused by magnetic pollution, enhancing the electrical signal flow and improving product reliability.

[0038] Illustratively, the magnetic pads 121 are magnetic nickel-plated pads. The magnetic pads adopt a magnetic nickel-plated layer, because nickel is a common ferromagnetic metal, has good compatibility with the semiconductor packaging process (commonly used in UBM and surface treatment), and the cost is controllable.

[0039] The chip packaging structure of the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the chip is flip-chip mounted on the substrate, the magnetic bump and the magnetic pad are magnetically adsorbed and fixedly connected, automatic position alignment is performed, the stability of the chip mounting position is enhanced, the automatic alignment accuracy of the magnetic attraction force is ±2μm, the dependence on the equipment mounting precision capability is reduced, the chip mounting position deviation is effectively reduced, the production yield is improved, and the product reliability performance is improved; without externally increasing the magnetic field to apply magnetism to the material, the equipment and process costs are saved; the patch position inspection alarm is reduced, the number of times of reprocessing and adjustment of the chip mounting position is reduced, and the processing cost and time cost are reduced.

[0040] It can be understood that the above implementation is only an exemplary implementation adopted for illustrating the principle of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Various modifications and improvements can be made by those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and essence of the embodiment of the present disclosure, and these modifications and improvements are also considered as the protection scope of the embodiment of the present disclosure.
