[0067] As disclosed in the background art, the light port packaging structure of the conventional optoelectronic device, as disclosed in CN119095A, has a trench-shaped light port with the opening of the trench facing upward, and the light signal needs to be conducted vertically to the trench of the light port. However, due to the trench-shaped light port, the light signal receiving range is small, and the light port needs to be protected from pollution damage, so an optical lens or other optical bridging structure (collectively referred to as an optical structure) needs to be attached at the position of the light port to make an optical channel.

[0068] However, on the one hand, the optical structure needs additional design, and the structure is complex, which increases the processing difficulty and cost; on the other hand, due to the limitation of the refractive index and light transmittance of the optical structure and the material, the transmission signal loss exists when the light signal passes through the optical structure, and the signal loss is usually large, which undoubtedly limits the transmission rate.

[0069] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a novel wafer-level semiconductor packaging structure and a preparation method thereof. It should be noted that the features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other without conflict.

At the same time, it also avoids the signal loss caused by the insufficient refractive index and light transmittance of the optical structure, can reduce the transmission signal loss, and improves the transmission efficiency.

[0072] The wafer-level semiconductor packaging structure 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application includes an optical chip 110, an optical reflection layer 120, a plastic packaging layer 130, and an electrical chip 140. One side edge of the optical chip 110 is provided with a light port structure 111, and the light port structure 111 includes 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 light signals. The plastic packaging layer 130 is arranged on the front surface of the optical chip 110 and covers the optical reflection layer 120. The electrical chip 140 is arranged in the plastic packaging layer 130 and electrically connected to the optical chip 110.

[0073] It should be noted that the front surface of the optical chip 110 in this embodiment refers to the surface of the optical chip 110 having electrical contact pads, which is electrically connected through the front surface, wherein the optical port structure 111 refers to the part of the optical chip 110 for realizing the input / output of the optical signal, which is located at the edge area of the front surface of the optical chip 110.

At the same time, it also avoids the signal loss caused by the insufficient refractive index and light transmittance of the optical structure, reduces the transmission signal loss, and improves the transmission efficiency.

[0074] Further, the optical port structure 111 further comprises a second optical surface 113, which 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 within the reflective cavity 121. The first optical surface 112 and the second optical surface 113 can both realize the conduction of the optical signal, and since the second optical surface 113 is directly exposed to the side wall of the optical chip 110, the lateral conduction of the optical signal can be directly realized, avoiding signal loss. It should be noted that the first optical surface 112 and the second optical surface 113 can both realize the lateral conduction of the optical signal, further reducing the transmission signal loss and improving the transmission efficiency.

[0075] In this 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 inwardly limited 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 damage to 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.

[0076] In the embodiment, the electric chip 140 is arranged on the front surface of the optical chip 110 and electrically connected with the optical chip 110, the front surface of the optical chip 110 is further provided with the conductive column 150, the plastic encapsulation layer 130 is arranged on the front surface of the optical chip 110 and encapsulates the electric chip 140 and the conductive column 150, the conductive column 150 is exposed to the plastic encapsulation layer 130 at an end away from the optical chip 110 and is provided with the conductive bump 151, the conductive bump 151 is electrically connected with the optical chip 110 through the conductive column 150. Specifically, the electric chip 140 is attached to the front surface of the optical chip 110, the optical chip 110 is electrically connected with the outside through the conductive column 150 and the conductive bump 151, and the optoelectronic co-encapsulation structure is realized through the plastic encapsulation layer 130.

[0077] Further, the front surface of the electric chip 140 is provided with the first micro bump 141, the first micro bump 141 is welded to the front surface of the optical chip 110, and the back surface of the electric chip 140 is exposed to the plastic encapsulation 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 face-to-face attached with the optical chip 110. Since the electric chip 140 and the optical chip 110 can realize face-to-face vertical interconnection, high-speed transmission can be realized, the demand of high-speed optical transmission can be met, and the product performance can be improved.

[0078] In the embodiment, the conductive column 150 is arranged around the electric chip 140, and the conductive column 150 is arranged spaced apart from the light reflection layer 120. Specifically, the electric chip 140 can be multiple and attached to the middle region of the front surface of the optical chip 110, the conductive column 150 can be multiple, and the multiple conductive columns 150 are arranged around the multiple electric chips 140, and the specific number and distribution mode can be determined according to the circuit arrangement of the optical chip 110. The conductive column 150 is also arranged spaced apart from the light reflection layer 120 to avoid affecting the light port structure 111.

[0079] It should be noted that the wafer-level semiconductor packaging structure 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application can also be attached to a substrate or a PCB through an FC process, and the conductive bump 151 on the conductive column 150 can be welded to the substrate.

[0080] The embodiment of the present application further provides a preparation method of the 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:

[0081] S1: providing a wafer with multiple optical chips 110.

[0082] For reference Figure 2Each of the optical chips 110 is provided with an optical port structure 111 and an optical port groove 114, the optical port structure 111 includes 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 optical port groove 114, and the second optical surface 113 can constitute a side wall of the optical port groove 114 on the side close to the optical port structure 111.

[0083] It should be noted that one of the optical chips 110 is taken as an example to illustrate the entire process in the embodiment, and it can be understood that the wafer can be a PIC wafer (Photonic Integrated Circuit), and the wafer is formed with a plurality of optical chip 110 structures through a pre-process.

[0084] S2: Forming a protective layer 200 covering the optical port structure 111 and the optical port groove 114 on the front surface of the optical chip 110.

[0085] Referring to Figure 3 Specifically, the protective layer 200 can be a polyimide material, and the protective 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 protective 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 developing liquid 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 photoetching process, and the photoresist layer protects the underlying multifunctional polyimide glue from being removed by the developing liquid. Then the polyimide layer outside the photoresist pattern layer is removed by a developing process using the developing liquid. Finally, the photoresist is removed by a photoetching process, leaving the protective layer 200.

[0086] S3: Forming an optical reflection layer 120 on the protective layer 200.

[0087] Referring to Figure 4The light reflection layer 120 corresponds to the light port structure 111. Specifically, the light reflection layer 120 can be a silicon dioxide layer deposited on the front surface of the protection layer 200 and the optical chip 110. In actual preparation, the light reflection layer 120 can be first deposited on the entire surface by a PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) process; then a photoresist pattern is processed on the region above the light port structure 111 by a photolithography process, which protects the underlying light reflection layer 120 from being removed by RIE (Reactive Ion Etching) etching; finally, the regions except the pattern protected by the photoresist are developed and removed by the RIE etching process, and the photoresist is removed, thereby forming the light reflection layer 120 covered on the protection layer 200.

[0088] After the preparation of the light reflection layer 120 is completed, the plastic encapsulation layer 130 covering at least the light reflection layer 120 and the front surface of the optical chip 110 can be prepared, and the following steps can be performed.

[0089] S4: Forming a conductive column 150 on the front surface of the optical chip 110.

[0090] Referring to Figure 5 Specifically, the conductive column 150 can be a copper column, which can be processed by a photolithography and electroplating process to form a high copper column, thereby forming the conductive column 150. The height of the conductive column 150 is greater than the protruding height of the light reflection layer 120 and corresponds to the connection pad of the front surface region of the optical chip 110, which can realize the electrical conduction of the optical chip 110. Moreover, the conductive column 150 can be used to form a mounting area.

[0091] S5: Soldering the electrical chip 140 on the front surface of the optical chip 110.

[0092] Referring to Figure 6 Specifically, the electrical chip 140 can be soldered on the PIC wafer by a TCB (Thermocompression Bonding) or FC (Flip Chip) process, that is, soldered on the front surface of the optical chip 110, thereby realizing the face-to-face vertical interconnection between the electrical chip 140 and the optical chip 110.

[0093] S6: Forming a plastic encapsulation layer 130 on the front surface of the optical chip 110.

[0094] Referring to Figure 7 The plastic encapsulation layer 130 covers the conductive column 150, the electrical chip 140, the light reflection layer 120, and the front surface of the optical chip 110. Specifically, a wafer-level plastic encapsulation process can be used to encapsulate the wafer.

[0095] S7: thinning the plastic sealing layer 130 and exposing the conductive column 150.

[0096] Referring to Figure 8 , specifically, the plastic sealing layer 130 of the wafer can be thinned by a grinding process, and the copper column is exposed for subsequent processing. It should be noted that the height of the conductive column 150 can be the same as the height of the electric chip 140, so that the back of the conductive column 150 and the electric chip 140 can be exposed after grinding.

[0097] S8: Forming a conductive bump 151 on the conductive column 150.

[0098] Referring to Figure 9 , specifically, the conductive bump 151 is formed on the conductive column 150 by using a photoetching and electroplating process, which is used for welding with the PCB.

[0099] S9: Thinning the wafer.

[0100] Referring to Figure 10 , specifically, the PIC wafer can be thinned by a grinding process, that is, the back of the optical chip 110 is thinned.
