The spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientations depicted in the figures.
[0030] The embodiments of the present application provide a super-thin multi-chip device, which comprises: a chip, the chip comprising a silicon-based chip and a compound semiconductor chip which are mutually encapsulated; a frame base island structure, all or part of the chip being disposed inside the frame base island structure; or the frame base island structure being a structure which is thinned by selective etching, and the chip being stacked on the frame base island structure.
[0031] In some embodiments, the encapsulation manner between the mutually encapsulated silicon-based chip and compound semiconductor chip can be any one of the following: the compound semiconductor chip being stacked on the silicon-based chip, and the compound semiconductor chip and the silicon-based chip being on the same horizontal plane.
[0032] In some embodiments, all of the chip (i.e. the mutually encapsulated silicon-based chip and compound semiconductor chip) can be disposed inside the frame base island structure, or part of the chip (e.g. the silicon-based chip) can be disposed inside the frame base island structure. By the disposition, the size of the device, especially the thickness of the device, can be adjusted, and the total thickness of the chip package can be effectively reduced, so that the device can be miniaturized. It should be noted that, in the case that all of the chip is disposed inside the frame base island structure, the encapsulation manner between the silicon-based chip and the compound semiconductor chip can be that the compound semiconductor chip and the silicon-based chip are on the same horizontal plane. In the case that part of the chip is disposed inside the frame base island structure, the encapsulation manner between the silicon-based chip and the compound semiconductor chip can be that the silicon-based chip is disposed inside the frame base island structure, and the compound semiconductor chip is stacked on the silicon-based chip.
[0033] In other embodiments, in the case that the frame base island structure is a structure which is thinned by selective etching, the chip (i.e. the mutually encapsulated silicon-based chip and compound semiconductor chip) can be stacked on the frame base island structure. In this case, the encapsulation manner can be any one of the following: the compound semiconductor chip being stacked on the silicon-based chip, and the compound semiconductor chip and the silicon-based chip being on the same horizontal plane.
[0034] In other embodiments, where the framework island structure is a structure thinned by selective etching, the chip (i.e., the inter-encapsulated silicon-based chip and compound semiconductor chip) can also be stacked on the framework island structure. In this case, the encapsulation method can be any of the following: the compound semiconductor chip is stacked on the silicon-based chip, or the compound semiconductor chip and the silicon-based chip are on the same horizontal plane.
[0035] In some embodiments, the material of the silicon-based chip may include, but is not limited to, silicon (Si), germanium (Ge), etc.
[0036] In some embodiments, the compound semiconductor chip refers to a chip made of a semiconductor material formed by the combination of two or more elements. Optionally, the compound semiconductor chip is a group III-V compound semiconductor, the material of which is a combination of group III elements (such as gallium Ga, indium In) and group V elements (such as arsenic As, phosphorus P, nitrogen N) from the periodic table. Exemplarily, the material of the compound semiconductor chip is gallium arsenide, indium phosphide, gallium nitride, indium gallium arsenide, indium gallium phosphide, etc. Because the electron mobility of compound semiconductor chips is several times or even tens of times that of silicon, the sensitivity of the device is significantly higher than that of silicon-based Hall chips.
[0037] In some embodiments, the frame island structure is a core component of the lead frame in a semiconductor package, referring to a metal platform used to fix and support the chip.
[0038] The chip in this embodiment includes a silicon-based chip and a compound semiconductor chip that are encapsulated together. Since compound semiconductor chips, represented by gallium arsenide, indium arsenide, and indium antimonide, have electron mobilities several times or even tens of times higher than silicon, their sensitivity is significantly higher than that of silicon-based Hall effect chips. Therefore, encapsulating the compound semiconductor chip with the silicon-based chip can improve the device's sensitivity, sensor performance, reliability, and stability. Furthermore, by setting a frame-island structure, all or part of the chip can be recessed into the frame-island structure. Alternatively, the frame-island structure can be selectively etched to reduce its thickness, and the chip can be stacked on top of the frame-island structure. Different encapsulation methods can be achieved through different combinations of the frame-island structure, silicon-based chip, and compound semiconductor chip, thereby enabling high integration of the compound semiconductor chip and the silicon-based chip. This keeps the overall device size slightly larger than the silicon-based chip and effectively reduces the total chip package thickness, achieving device miniaturization and enabling applications in multiple scenarios.
[0039] The following description uses the example of a frame-based island structure that has undergone selective etching to reduce its thickness to illustrate the above-mentioned ultra-thin multi-chip device.
[0040] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an ultrathin multi-chip device according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure One , Figure 1 In this context, 'a' represents the top view. Figure 1 In this context, 'b' represents the front view, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a silicon-based chip 2 is directly stacked on a frame-based island structure 1, and a compound semiconductor chip 3 is also stacked on the silicon-based chip 2, thus achieving encapsulation. This solution does not require additional modifications to the frame-based island structure 1 or the silicon-based chip 2. Adhesive is directly applied at predetermined positions on the frame-based island structure 1, or a die-attach film (DAF) is used to place the silicon-based chip 2 on the frame-based island structure 1. Leads 4 connect the silicon-based chip 2 and the frame-based island structure 1. In this embodiment, the compound semiconductor chip 3 is connected to the silicon-based chip 2 using flip-chip soldering. Figure 1 As shown, the compound semiconductor chip 3 can be attached to the silicon-based chip 2 by flip-chip bonding, which can avoid the influence of the arc height of the bonding wire and further reduce the thickness.
[0041] As can be seen, by directly stacking the silicon-based chip 2 on the frame-island structure 1 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 on the silicon-based chip 2, no additional modifications are required to the frame-island structure 1 and the silicon-based chip 2, thus reducing the packaging cost. Furthermore, since the compound semiconductor chip 3 is represented by gallium arsenide, indium arsenide, and indium antimonide, its electron mobility is several times or even tens of times that of silicon, resulting in significantly higher device sensitivity than silicon-based Hall effect chips. Therefore, by packaging the compound semiconductor chip 3 with the silicon-based chip 2, the device's sensitivity, sensor signal-to-noise ratio, reliability, and stability can be improved. In addition, this configuration allows the overall device thickness to be less than 0.3 mm, effectively reducing the total chip package thickness, achieving device miniaturization, and enabling applications in multiple scenarios.
[0042] The following description uses the case where all or part of the chip is recessed inside the frame base island as an example to illustrate the ultra-thin multi-chip device.
[0043] In some embodiments, where all or part of the chip is recessed within the frame-based island structure, the frame-based island structure includes a bottom structure and a surrounding structure, the bottom structure and the surrounding structure forming an internally hollow frame-based island structure, the silicon-based chip is recessed within the frame-based island structure, and the compound semiconductor chip is stacked on the silicon-based chip; the thickness of the ultrathin multi-chip device is less than 0.2 mm.
[0044] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an ultrathin multi-chip device according to an exemplary embodiment.Figure Two , Figure 2 a is a top view, Figure 2 b is a front view, as shown in Figure 2 The frame base island structure 1 includes a bottom structure and a peripheral structure, which form an internally hollow frame base island structure. When the frame base island structure 1 is manufactured, a high-temperature film is pasted to the bottom. When pasting, the chip bonding DAF film is used to place the silicon-based chip 2 on the high-temperature film, so as to realize the sinking arrangement of the silicon-based chip 2 in the interior of the frame base island structure 1. At the same time, the compound semiconductor chip 3 is stacked on the silicon-based chip 2.
[0045] It should be noted that, in order to further reduce the thickness of the ultra-thin multi-chip device, when the silicon-based chip 2 is sinkingly arranged in the interior of the frame base island structure 1, the upper surface of the silicon-based chip 2 can be flush with the top of the frame base island structure 1.
[0046] In some embodiments, the silicon-based chip 2 and the frame base island structure 1 can be connected through the lead wire 4, and the compound semiconductor chip 3 and the silicon-based chip 2 can also be connected through the lead wire 4. In other embodiments, the compound semiconductor chip 3 and the silicon-based chip 2 can also be connected through the solder ball flip chip mode. Figure 3 is a structural schematic diagram of an ultra-thin multi-chip device according to an exemplary embodiment Figure Three As shown in Figure 3 By means of the solder ball flip chip mode, the compound semiconductor chip 3 is pasted on the silicon-based chip 2, which can avoid the influence of the wire arc height of the solder wire, and further reduce the thickness.
[0047] It can be seen that, since the compound semiconductor chip 3 is represented by gallium arsenide, indium arsenide and indium antimonide, the electron mobility is several times or even tens of times of that of silicon, so the sensitivity of the device is obviously higher than that of the silicon-based Hall chip. Therefore, by means of the frame base island structure 1 which includes a bottom structure and a peripheral structure, the bottom structure and the peripheral structure form an internally hollow frame base island structure, the silicon-based chip 2 is sinkingly arranged in the interior of the frame base island structure 1, and the compound semiconductor chip 3 is stacked on the silicon-based chip 2, the sensitivity, sensor signal-to-noise ratio, reliability and stability of the device can be improved. In addition, this kind of sealing method can control the thickness of the device within a minimum range, for example, the thickness of the ultra-thin multi-chip device can be controlled within 0.2 mm, which effectively reduces the total thickness of the chip packaging and realizes the miniaturization of the device, thereby realizing multi-scene application.
[0048] Hereinafter, the ultra-thin multi-chip device is described by taking the case that the frame base island structure 1 is a structure subjected to selective etching and thickness reduction.
[0049] In some embodiments, when the frame base island structure 1 is a structure that is thinned in thickness by selective etching, the silicon-based chip 2 is disposed on the selectively etched region of the frame base island structure 1, and the compound semiconductor chip 3 is stacked on the silicon-based chip 2; the thickness of the ultra-thin multi-chip device is less than 0.25 mm.
[0050] Figure 4 is a structural schematic of an ultra-thin multi-chip device according to an exemplary embodiment Figure Four , Figure 4 a in FIG. is a top view, Figure 4 b in FIG. is a front view, Figure 4 c in FIG. is a side view, as shown in Figure 4 , the frame base island structure 1 can be selectively etched first, so that a selectively etched region is formed on the frame base island structure 1, and the silicon-based chip 2 is placed on the frame base island structure 1 by dispensing or using a chip bonding DAF film.
[0051] It should be noted that the specific process of selective etching is not limited in the embodiments of the present application, which can include the following steps: designing and typesetting the pattern to be processed, and making a fluorescent plate, then placing the fluorescent plate into an etching frame, after exposure, placing the fluorescent plate into a solution for etching, etching away the unnecessary copper foil to form the desired pattern, and obtaining the selectively etched region.
[0052] In some embodiments, the distance between the selectively etched region and the bottom of the frame base island mainly depends on the accuracy of the "selective etching". For example, the distance between the bottom of the selectively etched region and the bottom of the frame base island can be greater than or equal to tens of microns, and in order to further reduce the overall thickness of the device, the smaller the distance between the bottom of the selectively etched region and the bottom of the frame base island, the better.
[0053] In some embodiments, the silicon-based chip 2 and the frame base island structure 1 can be connected by the lead 4, and the compound semiconductor chip 3 and the silicon-based chip 2 can also be connected by the lead 4. In other embodiments, the compound semiconductor chip 3 and the silicon-based chip 2 can also be connected by solder ball flip. Figure 5 is a structural schematic of an ultra-thin multi-chip device according to an exemplary embodiment Figure Five As shown in Figure 5 , the compound semiconductor chip 3 is attached to the silicon-based chip 2 by solder ball flip, which can avoid the influence of the wire arc height of the solder wire, and further reduce the thickness.
[0054] In the embodiments of the present application, since the compound semiconductor chip 3 is represented by gallium arsenide, indium arsenide and indium antimonide, the electron mobility is several times or even tens of times that of silicon, and the sensitivity of the device is obviously higher than that of the silicon-based Hall chip. Therefore, by performing "selective etching" treatment on the frame base island, the silicon-based chip is arranged in the selectively etched area of the frame base island structure, and the compound semiconductor chip is stacked on the silicon-based chip in the sealing mode, so that the sensitivity, sensor signal-to-noise ratio, reliability and stability of the device can be improved. The thickness of the frame base island below the silicon-based chip 2 can be further reduced, so that the overall packaging thickness of the device is thinned, and the thickness of the device can be about 0.25 mm, so that the device is miniaturized, and multi-scene application is realized.
[0055] In some embodiments, a groove is formed on the silicon-based chip 2 by photolithography and selective etching, and the compound semiconductor chip 3 is stacked in the groove.
[0056] Optionally, after the compound semiconductor chip 3 is placed in the groove, the distance between the upper surface of the compound semiconductor chip 3 and the upper surface of the silicon-based chip 2 is greater than 0 and less than the thickness of the compound semiconductor chip 3 itself.
[0057] In the embodiments of the present application, by photolithography and selective etching, the silicon-based chip 2 is "half-etched", and a groove is formed at a specific position of the silicon-based chip 2, which can accommodate the compound semiconductor chip 3. Through the groove, the overall thickness of the device can be further reduced, and at the same time, since the compound semiconductor chip 3 is protected by the "groove", the packaging stress can be effectively reduced, and the reliability of the device can be improved.
[0058] In the following, several embodiments are described for forming a groove on the silicon-based chip 2 by photolithography and selective etching, and the compound semiconductor chip 3 is stacked in the groove.
[0059] In some embodiments, in the case where the frame base island structure 1 is a structure that has not been thinned by selective etching, the silicon-based chip 2 is stacked on the frame base island structure 1, and the compound semiconductor chip 3 is stacked in the groove, the thickness of the ultra-thin multi-chip device is less than 0.25 mm.
[0060] Figure 6 is a structure diagram of an ultra-thin multi-chip device according to an exemplary embodiment Figure Six , Figure 6 a in FIG. 1 is a top view, Figure 6 b in FIG. 1 is a front view, as Figure 6As shown, by means of photoetching and selective etching, a "half-etched" silicon-based chip 2 is obtained, and a recess is formed at a specific position of the silicon-based chip 2. The frame base island structure 1 is a structure that has not been subjected to selective etching for thickness reduction, and the "half-etched" silicon-based chip 2 is laminated on the frame base island structure 1 at a predetermined position of the frame base island structure 1 by means of dispensing or DAF, and the compound semiconductor chip 3 is laminated in the recess by means of dispensing or chip bonding DAF film.
[0061] In some embodiments, the silicon-based chip 2 and the frame base island structure 1 can be connected by means of a wire 4, and the compound semiconductor chip 3 and the silicon-based chip 2 can also be connected by means of a wire 4. In other embodiments, the compound semiconductor chip 3 and the silicon-based chip 2 can also be connected by means of flip-chip soldering. In addition, the compound semiconductor chip 3 is attached to the silicon-based chip 2 by means of flip-chip soldering, so that the wire loop height does not affect the thickness, and the thickness can be further reduced.
[0062] As can be seen, by laminating the silicon-based chip 2 directly on the frame base island structure 1 and laminating the compound semiconductor chip 3 on the silicon-based chip 2 for encapsulation, the encapsulation cost is reduced. Since the compound semiconductor chip 3 is represented by gallium arsenide, indium arsenide and indium antimonide, the electron mobility is several times or even tens of times that of silicon, and the sensitivity of the device is higher than that of the silicon-based Hall chip. Therefore, by encapsulating the compound semiconductor chip 3 and the silicon-based chip 2, the sensitivity, sensor signal-to-noise ratio, reliability and stability of the device can be improved. At the same time, by means of photoetching and selective etching, a "half-etched" silicon-based chip 2 is obtained, and a recess is formed at a specific position of the silicon-based chip 2. The recess can accommodate the compound semiconductor chip 3, and the overall thickness of the device can be further reduced by means of the recess, so that the overall device thickness is less than 0.25 mm, the total thickness of the chip package is effectively reduced, the device is miniaturized, and multi-scene application is achieved. In addition, since the compound semiconductor chip 3 is protected by the "recess", the packaging stress can be effectively reduced, and the reliability of the device can be improved.
[0063] In some embodiments, in the case where the silicon-based chip 2 is arranged inside the frame base island structure 1 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 is laminated in the recess, the thickness of the ultra-thin multi-chip device is less than 0.15 mm.
[0064] Figure 7 is a structure diagram of an ultra-thin multi-chip device according to an exemplary embodiment Figure Seven , Figure 7 a in FIG. 1 is a top view, Figure 7 b in FIG. 1 is a front view, as Figure 7As shown, by means of photoetching and selective etching, a "half-etched" silicon chip 2 is obtained, and a groove is formed at a specific position of the silicon chip 2. The frame base island structure 1 comprises a bottom structure and a peripheral structure, which form an internally hollow frame base island structure. When the frame base island structure 1 is manufactured, a high-temperature film is pasted to the bottom. When the frame base island structure 1 is pasted, the silicon chip 2 with the groove is placed on the high-temperature film by means of dispensing or chip bonding DAF film, so as to realize the sinking arrangement of the silicon chip 2 in the interior of the frame base island structure 1. At the same time, the compound semiconductor chip 3 is stacked in the groove of the silicon chip 2.
[0065] It should be noted that, in order to further reduce the thickness of the ultra-thin multi-chip device, when the silicon chip 2 is sinkingly arranged in the interior of the frame base island structure 1, the upper surface of the silicon chip 2 can be flush with the top of the frame base island structure 1.
[0066] In some embodiments, the silicon chip 2 and the frame base island structure 1 can be connected by means of the lead 4, and the compound semiconductor chip 3 and the silicon chip 2 can also be connected by means of the lead 4. In other embodiments, the compound semiconductor chip 3 and the silicon chip 2 can also be connected by means of solder ball flip. In addition, the compound semiconductor chip 3 is pasted on the silicon chip 2 by means of solder ball flip, so as to avoid the influence of the wire arc height of the solder wire, and the thickness can be further reduced.
[0067] It can be seen that, since the compound semiconductor chip 3 is represented by gallium arsenide, indium arsenide and indium antimonide, the electron mobility is several times or even tens of times of that of silicon, and the sensitivity of the device is higher than that of the silicon-based Hall chip. Therefore, by arranging the frame base island structure 1 to comprise a bottom structure and a peripheral structure, which form an internally hollow frame base island structure, sinkingly arranging the silicon chip 2 in the interior of the frame base island structure 1, and stacking the compound semiconductor chip 3 on the silicon chip 2, the sensitivity, sensor signal-to-noise ratio, reliability and stability of the device can be improved. At the same time, by means of photoetching and selective etching, a "half-etched" silicon chip 2 is obtained, and a groove is formed at a specific position of the silicon chip 2. The groove can accommodate the compound semiconductor chip 3, and the overall thickness of the device can be further reduced by means of the groove. The thickness of the ultra-thin multi-chip device is controlled to be less than or equal to 0.15 mm. In addition, since the compound semiconductor chip 3 is protected by the "groove", the packaging stress can be effectively reduced, and the reliability of the device can be improved.

At the same time, selective etching can also be performed on the frame base island structure 1 to form a selectively etched area on the frame base island structure 1. The silicon chip 2 with the groove is placed on the frame base island structure 1 by dispensing or using a chip bonding DAF film at the selectively etched area of the frame base island structure 1, and the compound semiconductor chip 3 is stacked in the groove of the frame base island structure 1.

[0069] It should be noted that the specific process of selective etching is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0070] In some embodiments, the distance between the bottom of the selectively etched area and the bottom of the frame base island mainly depends on the accuracy of "selective etching". For example, the distance between the bottom of the selectively etched area and the bottom of the frame base island can be greater than or equal to tens of microns, and the smaller the distance between the bottom of the selectively etched area and the bottom of the frame base island, the better for further reducing the overall thickness of the device.
[0071] It can be seen that since the compound semiconductor chip 3 is represented by gallium arsenide, indium arsenide and indium antimonide, the electron mobility is several times or even tens of times that of silicon, so the sensitivity of the device is higher than that of the silicon-based Hall chip. By performing "selective etching" treatment on the frame base island, the silicon-based chip is stacked on the frame base island structure, and the compound semiconductor chip is stacked in the groove, which can improve the sensitivity, sensor signal-to-noise ratio, reliability and stability of the device. At the same time, by lithography and selective etching, a "half-etching" silicon chip 2 is achieved to form a groove at a specific position of the silicon chip 2. The groove can accommodate the compound semiconductor chip 3, and through the groove, the overall thickness of the device can be further reduced, and the thickness of the ultra-thin multi-chip device is controlled to be within 0.2 mm. In addition, since the compound semiconductor chip 3 is protected by the "groove", the packaging stress can also be effectively reduced, and the reliability of the device can be improved.
[0072] In some embodiments, the silicon chip 2 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 can also be placed inside or on the upper surface of the frame base island structure 1, and the upper surfaces of the silicon chip 2 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 are at the same level.
[0073] In this embodiment, in addition to directly stacking the silicon-based chip 2 on the frame base island structure 1 and stacking the compound semiconductor chip 3 on the silicon-based chip 2 for encapsulation, the silicon-based chip 2 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 can also be placed on the upper surface of the frame base island structure 1 at the same time by using dispensing or chip bonding DAF film, and the upper surface of the silicon-based chip 2 and the upper surface of the compound semiconductor chip 3 are at the same level. Since the silicon-based chip 2 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 are placed on the upper surface of the frame base island structure 1 at the same time, the silicon-based chip 2 and the frame base island structure 1 can be connected by leads, and the compound semiconductor chip 3 and the silicon-based chip 2 can also be connected by leads, thereby effectively reducing the thickness of the device.
[0074] In some embodiments, when the frame base island structure 1 is not a structure that has been thinned by selective etching, the silicon-based chip 2 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 are placed on the upper surface of the frame base island structure 1, and the upper surface of the silicon-based chip 2 and the upper surface of the compound semiconductor chip 3 are at the same level.
[0075] Figure Nine is a structural diagram of an ultra-thin multi-chip device according to an exemplary embodiment Figure 9 , Figure 9 a in FIG. is a top view, Figure 9 b in FIG. is a front view, as shown in the silicon-based chip 2 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 can be placed on the upper surface of the frame base island structure 1 at the same time by using dispensing or chip bonding DAF film, and a predetermined distance is left between the silicon-based chip 2 and the compound semiconductor chip 3, which can be set according to actual business needs, and is not specifically limited. The upper surface of the silicon-based chip 2 and the upper surface of the compound semiconductor chip 3 are at the same level.
[0076] In some embodiments, since the silicon-based chip 2 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 are placed on the upper surface of the frame base island structure 1 at the same time, the silicon-based chip 2 and the frame base island structure 1 can be connected by leads 4, and the compound semiconductor chip 3 and the silicon-based chip 2 can also be connected by leads, thereby further reducing the thickness.
[0077] Thus, by simultaneously accommodating the silicon-based chip 2 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 on the upper surface of a single frame base island structure 1, the device thickness can be effectively reduced, the overall thickness can be maintained within 0.25 mm, the device can be miniaturized, and multi-scene applications can be achieved.
[0078] In some embodiments, the frame base island structure 1 comprises a bottom structure and a peripheral structure, the bottom structure and the peripheral structure form an internally hollow frame base island structure 1, the silicon-based chip 2 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 are simultaneously arranged in the interior of the frame base island structure, and the upper surface of the silicon-based chip 2 and the upper surface of the compound semiconductor chip 3 are at the same level.
[0079] In this embodiment, the frame base island structure 1 comprises a bottom structure and a peripheral structure, the bottom structure and the peripheral structure form an internally hollow frame base island structure 1, and a high-temperature film is pasted on the bottom of the frame base island structure 1 when it is manufactured. The silicon-based chip 2 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 are simultaneously placed on the high-temperature film by using the chip bonding DAF film, so as to realize that the silicon-based chip 2 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 are simultaneously arranged in the interior of the frame base island structure 1, and the upper surface of the silicon-based chip 2 and the upper surface of the compound semiconductor chip 3 are at the same level.
[0080] It should be noted that, in order to further reduce the thickness of the ultra-thin multi-chip device, when the silicon-based chip 2 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 are arranged in the interior of the frame base island structure 1, the upper surface of the silicon-based chip 2 and the upper surface of the compound semiconductor chip 3 are at the same level.
[0081] In some embodiments, the silicon-based chip 2 and the frame base island structure 1 can be connected by leads, and the compound semiconductor chip 3 and the silicon-based chip 2 can also be connected by leads, so as to further reduce the thickness.
[0082] It can be seen that, since the compound semiconductor chip 3 is represented by gallium arsenide, indium arsenide and indium antimonide, the electron mobility thereof is several times or even tens of times of that of silicon, so the sensitivity of the device is higher than that of the silicon-based Hall chip. By arranging the frame base island structure 1 comprising a bottom structure and a peripheral structure, the bottom structure and the peripheral structure form an internally hollow frame base island structure 1, and the silicon-based chip 2 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 are simultaneously arranged in the interior of the frame base island structure 1, the sensitivity of the device, the signal-to-noise ratio of the sensor, the reliability and the stability can be improved. In addition, since the silicon-based chip 2 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 are simultaneously arranged in the interior of the frame base island structure 1, the total thickness of the chip packaging can be effectively reduced, the device can be miniaturized, and multi-scene application can be realized.
[0083] In some embodiments, the frame base island structure 1 is a structure which is not subjected to selective etching for thickness reduction, the silicon-based chip 2 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 are placed on the upper surface of the frame base island structure 1, and the upper surface of the silicon-based chip 2 and the upper surface of the compound semiconductor chip 3 are at the same level.
[0084] In this embodiment, the frame base island structure 1 can be selectively etched first, so that a selectively etched area is formed on the frame base island structure 1. The silicon-based chip 2 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 are placed on the upper surface of the frame base island structure 1 by dispensing or using a chip bonding DAF film, and the upper surface of the silicon-based chip 2 and the upper surface of the compound semiconductor chip 3 are at the same level.
[0085] It should be noted that the specific process of selective etching is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0086] In some embodiments, the silicon-based chip 2 and the frame base island structure 1 can be connected by wires, and the compound semiconductor chip 3 and the silicon-based chip 2 can also be connected by wires, so as to further reduce the thickness.
[0087] In some embodiments, the distance between the selectively etched area and the bottom of the frame base island mainly depends on the accuracy of the selective etching. For example, the distance between the selectively etched area and the bottom of the frame base island can be greater than or equal to tens of microns. In order to further reduce the overall thickness of the device, the smaller the distance between the selectively etched area and the bottom of the frame base island is, the better.
[0088] As can be seen, since the compound semiconductor chip 3 is represented by gallium arsenide, indium arsenide and indium antimonide, the electron mobility is several times or even tens of times that of silicon, so the sensitivity of the device is higher than that of the silicon-based Hall chip. By placing the silicon-based chip 2 and the compound semiconductor chip 3 on the upper surface of the frame base island structure 1, the thickness of the frame base island below the silicon-based chip 2 can be further reduced, so as to thin the overall packaging thickness of the device, and the thickness of the device can be about 0.2 mm, realizing miniaturization of the device and achieving multi-scene application.
