DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, 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. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0029] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0030] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0031] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that if terms such as "upper," "lower," "inner," or "outer" are used to indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of this invention is usually placed, they are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.

[0032] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] As disclosed in the background section, the optical port packaging structure of traditional optoelectronic devices, such as that disclosed in CN119095A, has a trench morphology for the optical port, with the trench opening facing upwards. The optical signal needs to be transmitted perpendicular to the optical port trench. However, due to the limitation of the trench morphology, the optical signal receiving range is small, and the optical port needs to be protected from contamination and damage. Therefore, it is necessary to mount an optical lens or other optical bridging structure (collectively referred to as optical structure) at the optical port position to create an optical channel.

[0034] However, on the one hand, optical structures require additional design and are complex, which increases the difficulty and cost of processing; on the other hand, due to the limitations of the refractive index and transmittance of optical structures and materials, light signals suffer transmission signal loss when passing through optical structures, and the signal loss is usually large, which undoubtedly limits the transmission rate.

[0035] To solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a novel wafer-level semiconductor packaging structure and a preparation method thereof, and it should be noted that the features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0036] First embodiment Referring to Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides a wafer-level semiconductor packaging structure 100, and the optical signal can be directly conducted from the side without making a complex optical structure, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty and processing cost and shortening the processing cycle. Meanwhile, signal loss caused by insufficient refractive index and light transmittance of the optical structure is avoided, the transmission signal loss is reduced, and the transmission efficiency is improved.

[0037] The wafer-level semiconductor packaging structure 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises an optical chip 110, an optical reflection layer 120, a plastic encapsulation layer 130 and an electrical chip 140. The optical chip 110 is provided with an optical port structure 111 at one side edge thereof. The optical port structure 111 comprises a first optical surface 112. The first optical surface 112 is exposed to the front surface of the optical chip 110 and extends to the front surface edge of the optical chip 110. The optical reflection layer 120 is arranged on the front surface of the optical chip 110 and corresponds to the first optical surface 112. A reflection cavity 121 is formed between the optical reflection layer 120 and the first optical surface 112. The reflection cavity 121 extends to the front surface edge of the optical chip 110 and has an optical opening 122. The opening direction of the optical opening 122 is parallel to the front surface of the optical chip 110. The optical reflection layer 120 is configured to reflect the optical signal. The plastic encapsulation layer 130 is arranged on the front surface of the optical chip 110 and encapsulates the optical reflection layer 120. The electrical chip 140 is arranged in the plastic encapsulation layer 130 and is electrically connected to the optical chip 110.

[0038] It should be noted that the front surface of the optical chip 110 in the embodiment refers to some surfaces of the optical chip 110 having electrical contact pads, which realize electrical connection through the front surface. The optical port structure 111 refers to the part of the optical chip 110 that realizes input / output of the optical signal and is located at the front surface edge region of the optical chip 110. The reflection cavity 121 can be formed between the optical reflection layer 120 and the first optical surface 112, and the reflection cavity 121 has the side opening optical opening 122, so as to realize the side wall opening cavity structure. The optical reflection layer 120 is used to reflect the optical signal, so the optical signal can be directly conducted from the side, and thus a complex optical structure is not needed, the structure is simple, the manufacturing difficulty and processing cost are reduced, and the processing cycle is shortened. Meanwhile, signal loss caused by insufficient refractive index and light transmittance of the optical structure is avoided, the transmission signal loss is reduced, and the transmission efficiency is improved.

[0039] Further, the optical port structure 111 further comprises a second optical surface 113, the second optical surface 113 is arranged adjacent to the first optical surface 112 and exposed to the side wall of the optical chip 110, and the optical opening 122 is connected to the second optical surface 113. Specifically, the second optical surface 113 is perpendicular to the first optical surface 112, wherein the second optical surface 113 is exposed to the side wall of the optical chip 110 along the vertical direction, and the first optical surface 112 is exposed to the front surface of the optical chip 110 along the horizontal direction, and the range of the first optical surface 112 is limited in the reflection cavity 121. Wherein the first optical surface 112 and the second optical surface 113 can realize the conduction of optical signals, and since the second optical surface 113 is directly exposed to the side wall of the optical chip 110, the lateral conduction of optical signals can be directly realized, avoiding signal loss. It is worth noting that the first optical surface 112 and the second optical surface 113 can realize the lateral conduction of optical signals, further reducing the transmission signal loss and improving the transmission efficiency.

[0040] In the embodiment, the front surface edge of the optical chip 110 is further formed with an optical port groove 114, the optical port groove 114 is in communication with the optical opening 122, and the second optical surface 113 is configured to constitute the side wall of the optical port groove 114. Specifically, the second optical surface 113 can be limited inward relative to the side wall of the optical chip 110 and constitute the side wall of the optical port groove 114 close to the optical port structure 111. The arrangement of the optical port groove 114 can avoid damaging the second optical surface 113 during the formation of the single optical chip 110, ensuring the integrity and optical conduction performance of the second optical surface 113.

[0041] In the embodiment, the electrical chip 140 is arranged on the front surface of the optical chip 110 and electrically connected with the optical chip 110, and the front surface of the optical chip 110 is further provided with a conductive column 150, and the plastic encapsulation layer 130 is arranged on the front surface of the optical chip 110 and encapsulates the electrical chip 140 and the conductive column 150. The end of the conductive column 150 away from the optical chip 110 is exposed to the plastic encapsulation layer 130 and is provided with a conductive bump 151, and the conductive bump 151 is electrically connected with the optical chip 110 through the conductive column 150. Specifically, the electrical chip 140 is attached to the front surface of the optical chip 110, and the optical chip 110 is electrically connected with the outside through the conductive column 150 and the conductive bump 151, and realizes the optoelectronic co-encapsulation structure through the plastic encapsulation layer 130.

[0042] Further, the front surface of the electric chip 140 is provided with a first micro bump 141 corresponding to the front surface of the optical chip 110, and the back surface of the electric chip 140 is exposed to the plastic sealing layer 130. Specifically, the electric chip 140 can be flip-chip welded on the front surface of the optical chip 110 through a TCB (Thermocompression Bonding) or FC (Flip Chip) process, and achieve face-to-face bonding with the optical chip 110. Since the electric chip 140 and the optical chip 110 can achieve face-to-face vertical interconnection, high-speed transmission can be achieved, meeting the demand of high-speed optical transmission and improving product performance. In the embodiment, the electrically conductive column 150 is arranged around the electric chip 140, and the electrically conductive column 150 is arranged apart from the light reflection layer 120. Specifically, the electric chip 140 can be multiple and be centrally bonded on the front surface of the optical chip 110, and the electrically conductive column 150 is multiple and arranged around the multiple electric chips 140. The specific number and distribution mode can be determined according to the circuit arrangement of the optical chip 110. And the electrically conductive column 150 is also arranged apart from the light reflection layer 120 to avoid affecting the light port structure 111.

[0043] It should be noted that the wafer-level semiconductor packaging structure 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application can also be mounted on a substrate or a PCB through an FC process, wherein the electrically conductive bump 151 on the electrically conductive column 150 can be welded on the substrate.

[0044] The embodiment of the present application also provides a preparation method of a wafer-level semiconductor packaging structure 100, which is used for preparing the wafer-level semiconductor packaging structure 100 described above, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: S1: providing a wafer with multiple optical chips 110.

[0045] For reference Figure 2 Each optical chip 110 is provided with a light port structure 111 and a light port groove 114, the light port structure 111 comprises a first optical surface 112 and a second optical surface 113, the first optical surface 112 is exposed to the front surface of the optical chip 110 and extends to the light port groove 114, and the second optical surface 113 can form a side wall of the light port groove 114 close to the light port structure 111.

[0046] It should be noted that one of the optical chips 110 is taken as an example to illustrate the whole process in the embodiment, and it can be understood that the wafer can be a PIC wafer (Photonic Integrated Circuit), which is formed with multiple optical chip 110 structures through a pre-process.

[0047] S2: Forming a protection layer 200 on the front surface of the optical chip 110 to cover the optical port structure 111 and the optical port groove 114.

[0048] Referring to Figure 3 Specifically, the protection layer 200 can be a polyimide material, and the protection layer 200 only covers the optical port structure 111 and the optical port groove 114, and exposes other areas of the front surface of the optical chip 110. In actual preparation of the protection layer 200, a multifunctional polyimide glue can be first filled on the front surface of the optical chip 110 and the optical port groove 114 by a gluing process to protect the optical port structure 111 and the optical port groove 114, and the glue material can only be affected by a special developer such as TMAH (Tetramethylammonium Hydroxide). Then a photoresist layer is processed and patterned on the area above the optical port structure 111 and the optical port groove 114 by a photolithography process, and the photoresist layer protects the underlying multifunctional polyimide glue from being removed by the developer. Then the polyimide layer outside the photoresist pattern is removed by a developing process using the developer. Finally, the photoresist is removed by a photolithography process, leaving the protection layer 200.

[0049] S3: Forming an optical reflection layer 120 on the protection layer 200.

[0050] Referring to Figure 4 The optical reflection layer 120 corresponds to the optical port structure 111. Specifically, the optical reflection layer 120 can be formed by deposition on the protection layer 200 and the front surface of the optical chip 110, and the optical reflection layer 120 can be a silicon dioxide layer. In actual preparation, the optical reflection layer 120 can be first formed by PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) process; then a photoresist pattern is processed on the area above the optical port structure 111 by a photolithography process, and the photoresist pattern protects the underlying optical reflection layer 120 from being removed by RIE (Reactive Ion Etching); finally, the areas except the pattern protected by the photoresist are removed by RIE etching process, and then the photoresist is removed to form the optical reflection layer 120 covering the protection layer 200. After the preparation of the optical reflection layer 120 is completed, a plastic encapsulation layer 130 can be prepared to cover at least the optical reflection layer 120 and the front surface of the optical chip 110, and the following steps can be performed.

[0051] S4: Forming a conductive pillar 150 on the front surface of the optical chip 110.

[0052] Referring to Figure 5Specifically, the conductive pillar 150 can be a copper pillar, and the conductive pillar 150 can be processed by a photoetching and electroplating process to have a height greater than the height of the light reflection layer 120, and correspond to the connection pads of the front surface of the light chip 110, so as to realize electrical conduction of the light chip 110. In addition, the conductive pillar 150 formed by the preparation can be used to form a mounting area.

[0053] S5: welding the electrical chip 140 to the front surface of the light chip 110.

[0054] Referring to Figure 6 Specifically, the electrical chip 140 can be welded to the PIC wafer by a TCB (Thermocompression Bonding) or FC (Flip Chip) process, that is, welded to the front surface of the light chip 110, so as to realize face-to-face vertical interconnection between the electrical chip 140 and the light chip 110.

[0055] S6: forming a plastic sealing layer 130 on the front surface of the light chip 110.

[0056] Referring to Figure 7 The plastic sealing layer 130 covers the conductive pillar 150, the electrical chip 140, the light reflection layer 120, and the front surface of the light chip 110. Specifically, a wafer-level plastic sealing process can be used to seal the wafer.

[0057] S7: thinning the plastic sealing layer 130 and exposing the conductive pillar 150.

[0058] Referring to Figure 8 Specifically, the plastic sealing layer 130 of the wafer can be thinned by a grinding process, and the copper pillar is exposed for subsequent processing. It should be noted that the height of the conductive pillar 150 can be the same as the height of the electrical chip 140, so that the back surface of the conductive pillar 150 and the electrical chip 140 can be exposed after grinding.

[0059] S8: forming a conductive bump 151 on the conductive pillar 150.

[0060] Referring to Figure 9 Specifically, the conductive bump 151 can be processed on the conductive pillar 150 by a photoetching and electroplating process, and the conductive bump 151 is used for welding with a PCB.

[0061] S9: thinning the wafer.

[0062] Referring to Figure 10 Specifically, the PIC wafer can be thinned by a grinding process, that is, the back surface of the light chip 110 is thinned.

[0063] S10: cutting the plastic sealing layer 130 to form a first cutout 300.

[0064] Referring to Figure 11 , the first cut 300 corresponds to the light port groove 114 and exposes the light reflection layer 120. Specifically, a wafer-level laser slotting process can be used to remove the encapsulant above the light reflection layer 120 and stop at the surface of the light reflection layer 120, forming the first cut 300. In actual production, the cutting position can be determined by pre-prepared alignment marks, and the first cut 300 is accurately aligned with the light port groove 114.

[0065] S11: Forming a second cut 400 by stealth dicing the optical chip 110.

[0066] Referring to Figure 12 , the second cut 400 corresponds to the light port groove 114 and exposes the protective layer 200. Specifically, a stealth dicing process is used to cut the bottom PIC wafer along the light port groove 114, thereby forming the second cut 400, which is aligned with the first cut 300 and can expose the protective layer 200 located in the light port groove 114.

[0067] Stealth dicing (SD) is an advanced wafer cutting technology mainly used to singulate chips on a wafer (i.e., cut into independent chips).
