TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor, in particular to a packaging substrate structure and a manufacturing method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Through glass via (TGV) is a vertical electrical interconnection through glass substrate, corresponding to through silicon via (TSV) technology, which can be used as a new technology to replace organic board via interconnection. TGV has excellent electrical performance, optical performance and good mechanical stability, and has great application potential in advanced packaging and passive device manufacturing fields. Therefore, TGV is considered as a key technology for the next generation of advanced packaging. However, TGV also faces great challenges, such as hole forming technology, which is difficult to meet the requirements of high precision, verticality, hole shape, high aspect ratio (depth / diameter of via) while ensuring that the glass surface and hole wall cannot have cracks, because these defects will affect the subsequent process and reliability.
[0003] Therefore, TGV hole filling technology is a technical difficulty that limits the application of glass via. In order to achieve smaller volume, faster transmission speed and lower signal loss, high aspect ratio TGV hole filling is required. At present, via hole filling with a high aspect ratio of 5:1 cannot meet market demand. If TGV via hole filling with a high aspect ratio of 10:1 or even 20:1 can be achieved, it will have a more competitive advantage in the market. However, via hole filling with a larger aspect ratio has the problems of smaller hole diameter, deeper hole depth, longer electroplating time, thicker copper thickness on the glass surface, higher cost, etc.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a packaging substrate structure and a manufacturing method thereof capable of realizing glass via filling with a higher aspect ratio. SUMMARY

[0084] Specifically, the laser-induced deep etching is to use a pulsed laser to act on the substrate to generate a continuous denatured region on the substrate 1. Compared with the non-denatured region on the substrate 1, the substrate in the denatured region has a faster etching rate in the etching solution system, thereby forming a through hole 2 penetrating through the substrate 1.
[0085] Specifically, the laser-induced deep etching is used to form the through hole 2. Due to the anisotropy of etching, the perpendicularity and morphology of the through hole can be adjusted by adjusting the parameters of the laser emitting device.

[0096] Specifically, before forming the filling conductive layer 5, the seed metal layer 3 is formed to cover the lower surface of the substrate 1 and the inner wall of the via 2 upward from the opening of the lower surface of the substrate 1 by a predetermined distance, which helps to realize uniform electroplating of the inner wall of the via 2, ensures uniform filling of the entire via 2, improves the quality and electrical conductivity of the via filling, avoids the occurrence of voids or incomplete filling, and the good adhesion between the seed metal layer 3 and the inner wall of the via 2 helps to enhance the mechanical stability of the filling conductive layer 5 and reduce the possibility of peeling or breaking in the process after removing the conductive adhesive layer 4.
[0097] Specifically, referring to Figure 5 , step S2 is performed to form a conductive adhesive layer 4 on the lower surface of the seed metal layer 3, and the conductive adhesive layer 4 seals the opening of the bottom surface of the via 2.

[0105] Specifically,Figure 7 The diagram shown is a structural schematic after the electroplated layer 52 is formed. The method for forming the electroplated layer 52 includes electroplating or other suitable methods.
[0106] Specifically, by forming a pre-plating layer 51 at the bottom of the through hole 2, the electroplating on the surface of the substrate 1 can be effectively suppressed. At the same time, during the subsequent formation of the electroplating layer 52, the electroplating current can be maximized to act inside 2, thereby increasing the deposition rate inside the through hole 2, reducing the electroplating time, reducing the thickness of the electroplated layer 52 after electroplating, achieving the filling of the through hole 2 with a large aspect ratio, and ensuring that the quality of the formed electroplated layer 52 is uniform, without voids or gaps.
[0107] Specifically, by adopting a bottom-up method, a pre-plating layer 51 and an electroplating layer 52 are sequentially formed inside the through hole 2 on the upper surface of the conductive adhesive layer 4 to form a filling conductive layer 5 that fills the through hole 2. The formed filling conductive layer 5 has uniform quality and no bumps or grooves, thus achieving high-quality filling of the through hole 2 with a large aspect ratio.
