[0002] In recent years, as microelectronic devices and solid-state battery chips have developed towards higher energy density, miniaturization and high integration, traditional packaging technologies have been unable to meet their requirements for multiple performance aspects such as high electrochemical stability, thermal management and moisture and oxidation prevention. Existing bare chip packaging usually uses organic resin or epoxy-based packaging materials. Although these materials have good processability and flexibility, they have high dielectric constant and low thermal conductivity, and are prone to structural aging and performance degradation in high temperature or high humidity environments.
[0003] Furthermore, traditional polymer packaging structures suffer from problems such as ion migration, interface contamination, and mechanical stress concentration in devices with highly sensitive interfaces, such as lithium-based solid-state batteries and MEMS sensor chips, leading to a decrease in the reliability of the packaged devices.

Step 3: Spray a polyimide film with a thickness of approximately 100 nm onto the surface of the encapsulated and cured sample to enhance the moisture resistance and corrosion resistance of the encapsulated surface. After spraying, cure at 200 °C for another 20 minutes to obtain the final encapsulated chip product.
[0033] Table 1 Comparison of Finished Product Performance Parameters As shown in Table 1, Example 1 exhibits the best overall performance. It utilizes a 30 μm thick Garnet-type LLZO ceramic thin film substrate with a porosity of 30%. Optimal matching was achieved in polymer coating thickness control, staged heating during heat treatment, and Al2O3 protective layer deposition parameters, resulting in an interfacial bonding strength of 42.6 MPa and an encapsulation leakage rate of only 1.2 × 10⁻⁶ MPa. -9 Pa·cm 3 / s, the insulation performance and thermal cycling stability are significantly better than other schemes; the performance of Examples 2 and 3 is second best, with Example 2 (LATP substrate) slightly lower in interface bonding and electrical performance, mainly due to the film thickness of only 10 μm and the thin protective layer (50 nm), which easily produces local micro-defects; although Example 3 (LAGP substrate) has good hermeticity, the coating viscosity is high and the film thickness is large (60 μm), resulting in slight interface stress concentration after thermal cycling; Comparative Example 1 has the worst performance; the traditional silver paste + epoxy encapsulation process has problems such as thick layer, high porosity, and stress concentration, resulting in an interface strength of only 18.3 MPa and poor hermeticity (leakage rate as high as 6.8 × 10). -8 Pa·cm 3 / s), and the high-temperature stability and electrode contact performance are far lower than those of the present invention; In summary, Example 1 demonstrates excellent performance in terms of mechanics, hermeticity, electrical properties, and thermal stability. In particular, the bonding strength is increased by approximately 132%, the leakage rate is reduced by approximately two orders of magnitude, and the packaging uniformity and appearance pass rate are significantly improved. This fully verifies the significant advantages of the method of the present invention in the field of high-sealing, high-temperature resistant, and long-life packaging of bare chips.
