Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of optoelectronic transmission technology, and in particular to an optoelectronic simultaneous transmission vertical interconnection structure and its fabrication method. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of integrated circuit manufacturing processes, device dimensions are gradually approaching physical limits, and 3D integration technology is becoming the mainstream direction of technological development. 3D integration technology refers to stacking multiple layers of planar devices and interconnecting them vertically through through-silicon vias (TSVs). This overcomes the limitations of two-dimensional planes, enabling high-density packaging and performance optimization. Simultaneously, with the rapid development of technologies such as 5G, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and high-performance computing, data centers are increasingly demanding higher bandwidth and energy efficiency. In this context, optoelectronic co-packaging technology has emerged, which improves bandwidth density and energy efficiency by integrating optoelectronic and electronic devices within the same package.
[0003] Existing optoelectronic co-packaging technologies mainly include monolithic integration, 2D integrated packaging, and 3D integrated packaging. Monolithic integration offers advantages such as simple structure and ease of implementation, but it often suffers from high waveguide loss, low photodiode responsivity, and bandwidth limitations, resulting in insufficient optical performance. 2D integrated packaging places optical and electronic chips side-by-side on a printed circuit board, interconnecting them via leads. This method is advantageous due to its ease of packaging and suitability for mass production. However, a significant drawback of 2D integrated packaging is its reliance on leads. Although leads can achieve relatively small diameters, the connection between the optical and electronic chips is limited to one side, severely restricting the number of input / output (I / O) ports. 3D integrated packaging fabricates optical and electronic chips in different layers on the same packaging substrate, using micro-optical systems or optical waveguides to achieve optical signal input and output. Simultaneously, the electronic chips are connected to different layers on the packaging substrate via wires or flexible circuit boards. This method offers advantages such as compact structure and ease of high-speed signal transmission. However, 3D integrated packaging also faces some challenges. First, the compatibility issues between optical and electronic components need to be addressed during manufacturing. Because optical and electronic devices have different material and process requirements, meticulous adjustments and optimizations are necessary during the design and manufacturing process. Secondly, the relatively high manufacturing cost of 3D integrated packaging limits its widespread application to some extent.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose an optoelectronic simultaneous transmission technology that has a high degree of integration, excellent optoelectronic simultaneous transmission performance, low transmission loss, simple process, and low cost. Summary of the Invention

Then, laser-induced etching is used to create vias with a diameter of 65μm and a depth of 270μm. Finally, acetone, isopropanol, anhydrous ethanol, and deionized water are used to clean the photoresist.
[0035] Step 2: A pyrene adhesion layer with an average thickness of 1 μm was prepared using chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The CVD process parameters were set as follows: evaporation temperature 150℃, pyrolysis temperature 680℃, deposition pressure 0.1 Torr, and deposition time 1 hour.
[0036] Step 3: Prepare a copper seed layer using a chemical plating process. The chemical plating process parameters are set as follows: deposition temperature 60℃, deposition time 30 minutes, to obtain a copper seed layer with a thickness of 200nm. Step 4: Transfer the glass wafer with the prepared copper seed layer to the electroplating equipment, connect the electrodes to the substrate and anode plate of the electroplating equipment, and set the current density to 1.2 A / dm². 2 The electroplating time was 30 minutes, and a hollow columnar electrotransport layer with an average thickness of 9 μm was obtained.
[0037] Step 5: Attach the thermally release film to the bottom of the glass wafer substrate.
[0038] Step 6: Prepare a 15% solids content spin-on glass (SOG) solution as a filler material. Drop the SOG solution onto the glass wafer, then transfer it to a vacuum chamber for vacuum treatment.

The chemical plating process parameters are set as follows: deposition temperature 60℃, deposition time 30 minutes, to obtain a copper seed layer with a thickness of 200nm. Step 4: Transfer the silicon substrate with the prepared copper seed layer to the electroplating equipment, connect the electrodes of the electroplating equipment to the substrate and the anode plate, and set the current density to 1.2 A / dm². 2 The electroplating time was 30 minutes, and a hollow columnar electrotransport layer with an average thickness of 9 μm was obtained.
[0048] Step 5: Using benzocyclobutene solution as a filler material, the benzocyclobutene solution is drop-coated onto a silicon substrate. The silicon substrate coated with benzocyclobutene solution is then transferred to a vacuum chamber for vacuum treatment to accelerate the flow of the solution into the holes, allowing the benzocyclobutene solution to quickly fill the entire blind via. The silicon substrate is then transferred to a hot plate at 120°C and heated for 10 minutes to complete the pre-curing process.
[0049] Step 6: Remove excess benzocyclobutene and copper seed layer using chemical mechanical polishing.
[0050] Step 7: Process the other side of the silicon substrate by thinning and chemical mechanical polishing to prepare silicon blind holes into through-silicon vias.
