The second bonding ring of the chip structure region is bonded to the fourth bonding ring of the cover region. The cover region and the chip structure region form a sealing cavity inside the first bonding ring and the third bonding ring to accommodate the sensitive structure of the chip structure region. When the chip structure region includes multiple regions, there is a cutting channel region between adjacent chip structure regions; when the cover plate region includes multiple regions, there is a cutting channel region between adjacent cover plate regions.
[0026] This application also provides a method for fabricating a wafer-level chip packaging structure, including the following steps: A chip wafer is provided, the chip wafer having a fifth surface and a sixth surface disposed opposite to each other, the chip wafer having at least one chip structure region on the fifth surface, the chip structure region having a sensitive structure, the sensitive structure being disposed on the side of the chip structure near the first surface, a first bonding ring and a second bonding ring being formed correspondingly in the chip structure region on the fifth surface, the second bonding ring surrounding the outside of the first bonding ring, the first bonding ring being located on the outer periphery of the sensitive structure; A cover wafer is provided, the cover wafer having a seventh surface and an eighth surface disposed opposite to each other, the cover wafer having at least one cover region corresponding to the chip structure region on the seventh surface, and a third bonding ring and a fourth bonding ring being formed in the cover region on the seventh surface, the fourth bonding ring surrounding the outside of the third bonding ring; The cover plate wafer is bonded to the chip wafer.

The first and third bonding rings are directly bonded, and the second and fourth bonding rings are directly bonded, forming atomic-level contact between the bonding interface of the chip structure and the cover plate, thus creating a sealed cavity to accommodate the sensitive structure. Compared to traditional adhesive sealing, the chip packaging structure of this application avoids sealing failures caused by thermal expansion mismatch, escape of volatile organic compounds, or interface aging of the adhesive layer when forming a sealed cavity in existing technologies. This significantly improves the sealing stability of the chip packaging structure, thereby enhancing the hermeticity and long-term reliability of the MEMS device. Simultaneously, the first bonding ring is bonded to the third bonding ring, and the second bonding ring is bonded to the fourth bonding ring. This double-layer bonding structure with inner and outer double-layer bonding rings can form a multi-layer sealing structure. The inner bonding rings (the first and third bonding rings) achieve the main gas-tight connection, while the outer bonding rings (the second and fourth bonding rings) constitute an auxiliary sealing barrier. That is, the outer side of the sealing cavity has at least two layers of bonding structure, achieving multiple seals for the sealing cavity. When the inner bonding ring leaks due to microscopic defects or interface penetration, the outer bonding ring can still effectively block the leakage path, transforming the direct leakage path of a single sealing interface into a dual leakage path, significantly reducing the overall failure risk of the sealing structure. Furthermore, the chip structure and the cover plate are directly bonded to form a sealing cavity, eliminating the need for additional chip structures or sockets to participate in cavity enclosure, simplifying the packaging layers, shortening the heat conduction path, and improving the thermal stability and structural compactness of the MEMS device.
[0031] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the chip structure and the cover plate are connected by hybrid bonding: the first bonding ring and the third bonding ring achieve electrical interconnection, hermetic connection and mechanical fixation through metal-metal bonding, and the insulating dielectric bonding rings of the second bonding ring and the fourth bonding ring form a hermetic connection through dielectric-dielectric bonding. Metal bonding and dielectric bonding are completed simultaneously, without the need for additional sealing materials or adhesive layers. The bonding interface achieves atomic-level contact, and the sealing stability is significantly better than traditional bonding solutions. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0035] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application will be thorough and complete.
[0036] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in this application's specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.
[0037] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define objects (such as elements, components, regions, layers, doping types and / or parts) is merely for the purpose of distinguishing different objects, and is not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0038] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” may also include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that when the terms “compose” and / or “comprise” are used in this specification, the presence of the stated feature, integer, step, operation, element, and / or part is established, but the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, parts, and / or groups is not excluded. Meanwhile, when used herein, the term “and / or” includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.
[0039] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that when a component is referred to as "on another component," "connected to another component," or "in contact with another component," it can mean not only that a component is directly on, directly connected to, or directly in contact with the other component, but also that an intermediate component can be inserted between the two components. Furthermore, "connection" includes not only fixed connections but also detachable connections or integral connections. Similarly, when an element is referred to as "electrically connected," "electrically contacted," "electrically coupled," or "electrically coupled to" another element, the two elements can be in direct electrical contact or electrical coupling, or they can be in electrical contact or electrical coupling through an intermediate component.
[0040] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms 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 on the scope of protection of this application; the directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours relative to the outline of each component itself.
[0041] Furthermore, in the description of this application, spatial relation terms such as "below," "under," "below," "below," "below," "above," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., can be used to describe the spatial positional relationship between one element or feature shown in the figures and other elements or features. It should be understood that spatial relation terms, in addition to the orientation shown in the figures, also include different orientations of elements or features in use and operation. For example, if an element or feature in the figures is flipped or inverted, an element or feature described as "below" or "below" other elements or features will be oriented "above" other elements or features. Furthermore, elements may also include other orientations (e.g., rotated by an angle or other orientations).
[0042] The structure of the embodiments of this application should not be limited to the specific shape shown in the accompanying drawings, but includes shape deviations due to, for example, manufacturing techniques.
[0043] It is understood that in some of the accompanying drawings of this application, adjacent films with the same processing material are drawn as connected to make them resemble the actual structure.
[0044] Through experiments, the inventors discovered that the reason why the sealing structure is unstable when using adhesive caps or sealing caps is that the bonding interface between the cap or sealing cap and the chip is prone to microcracks or delamination due to factors such as mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients, interface voids, and residual volatile organic compounds, leading to attenuation of airtightness or even complete failure. At the same time, the subsequent bonding process is usually carried out one chip at a time in a non-clean environment, which further increases the risk of contamination intrusion and inconsistent sealing quality, making it difficult to meet the long-term airtightness requirements of high-reliability MEMS devices.
[0045] Therefore, this application provides a chip packaging structure, please refer to... Figure 3 The chip packaging structure includes: Chip structure 1 has a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to each other. The first surface has a first bonding ring 11 and a second bonding ring 12. The second bonding ring 12 surrounds the outside of the first bonding ring 11. The chip structure 1 also has a sensitive structure 13. The sensitive structure 13 is disposed on the side of the chip structure 1 close to the first surface and located inside the first bonding ring 11. The cover plate 2 has a third surface and a fourth surface disposed opposite to each other. The third surface has a third bonding ring 21 and a fourth bonding ring 22. The fourth bonding ring 22 surrounds the outside of the third bonding ring 21. The cover plate 2 is disposed on the first surface of the chip structure 1. The first bonding ring 11 is correspondingly bonded to the third bonding ring 21, and the second bonding ring 12 is bonded to the fourth bonding ring 22, so that the cover plate 2 and the chip structure 1 form a sealed cavity 101 for accommodating the sensitive structure 13 inside the first bonding ring 11 and the third bonding ring 21.
[0046] The chip packaging structure of this application has a first bonding ring 11 and a second bonding ring 12 on the first surface of the chip structure 1, with the sensitive structure 13 disposed inside the first bonding ring 11; a third bonding ring 21 and a fourth bonding ring 22 are nested on the third surface of the cover plate 2. The first bonding ring 11 is directly bonded to the third bonding ring 21, and the second bonding ring 12 is directly bonded to the fourth bonding ring 22, forming an atomic-level contact between the bonding interface of the chip structure 1 and the cover plate 2, and creating a sealed cavity 101 between the chip structure 1 and the cover plate 2 to accommodate the sensitive structure 13. Compared to traditional adhesive sealing, the chip packaging structure of this application avoids the sealing failure caused by thermal expansion mismatch, escape of volatile organic compounds, or interface aging of the adhesive layer when forming the sealed cavity 101 using the prior art. This significantly improves the sealing stability of the chip packaging structure, thereby enhancing the hermeticity and long-term reliability of the MEMS device. Simultaneously, the first bonding ring 11 is bonded to the third bonding ring 21, and the second bonding ring 12 is bonded to the fourth bonding ring 22. This double-layer bonding structure with inner and outer double-layer bonding rings can form a multi-layer sealing structure. The inner bonding ring (first bonding ring 11 and third bonding ring 21) achieves the main gas-tight connection, while the outer bonding ring (second bonding ring 12 and fourth bonding ring 22) constitutes an auxiliary sealing barrier. That is, the outer side of the sealing cavity 101 has at least two layers of bonding structure, achieving multiple seals for the sealing cavity 101. When the inner bonding ring leaks due to microscopic defects or interface penetration, the outer bonding ring can still effectively block the leakage path, transforming the direct leakage path of a single sealing interface into a dual leakage path, significantly reducing the overall failure risk of the sealing structure. Furthermore, the chip structure 1 and the cover plate 2 are directly bonded to form the sealing cavity 101, eliminating the need for additional chip structure 1 or sockets to participate in the cavity enclosure. This simplifies the packaging layers, shortens the heat conduction path, and improves the thermal stability and structural compactness of the MEMS device.
[0047] In one embodiment, the first bonding ring 11 and the third bonding ring 21 comprise metal bonding rings, and the second bonding ring 12 and the fourth bonding ring 22 comprise insulating dielectric bonding rings.
[0048] At this point, the chip structure 1 and the cover plate 2 are connected via hybrid bonding: the first bonding ring 11 and the third bonding ring 21 achieve a hermetically sealed connection and mechanical fixation through metal-to-metal bonding; the insulating dielectric bonding rings of the second bonding ring 12 and the fourth bonding ring 22 form a hermetically sealed connection through dielectric-to-dielectric bonding. Metal bonding and dielectric bonding are completed simultaneously, requiring no additional sealing materials or adhesive layers. The bonding interface achieves atomic-level contact, resulting in significantly better sealing stability than traditional adhesive bonding methods. Furthermore, hybrid bonding offers higher alignment accuracy and eliminates the need for pre-plating additional metal on the bonding layer for soldering. Simultaneously, the first bonding ring 11 and the third bonding ring 21 can also achieve electrical interconnection, facilitating external wiring of the chip structure 1.
[0049] In one specific embodiment, the metal bonding ring includes a copper bonding ring, a gold bonding ring, a nickel bonding ring, or an aluminum bonding ring; The insulating dielectric bonding ring includes a silicon oxide bonding ring, a silicon nitride bonding ring, a silicon carbonitride bonding ring, or an organic insulating dielectric bonding ring.
[0050] Copper, gold, nickel, aluminum and other metal bonding rings are mixed with silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon carbonitride and organic insulating dielectric bonding rings. The metal rings provide low resistance conductivity and mechanical anchoring, while the insulating dielectric rings achieve high resistance isolation and interface passivation. The heterogeneous materials are matched synergistically, and the bonding connection is stable and reliable.
[0051] In one embodiment, the second bonding ring 12 and the fourth bonding ring 22 are made of the same material as the cover plate 2. When the cover plate 2 is a silicon oxide cover plate 2, the second bonding ring 12 and the fourth bonding ring 22 are silicon oxide bonding rings, and the silicon oxide bonding rings are easy to connect with the silicon oxide cover plate 2.
[0052] In one specific embodiment, when the insulating dielectric bonding ring includes an organic insulating dielectric bonding ring, the organic insulating dielectric bonding ring includes a polyimide bonding ring, a photosensitive polyimide bonding ring, or a benzocyclobutene bonding ring.
[0053] In one specific embodiment, the first bonding ring 11 and the third bonding ring 21 are both copper bonding rings, which are less expensive than gold bonding rings. The second bonding ring 12 and the fourth bonding ring 22 are both polyimide bonding rings.
[0054] In another embodiment, the first bonding ring 11, the third bonding ring 21, the second bonding ring 12, and the fourth bonding ring 22 are all metal bonding rings.
[0055] In another embodiment, the first bonding ring 11, the third bonding ring 21, the second bonding ring 12, and the fourth bonding ring 22 are all insulating dielectric bonding rings.
[0056] In one embodiment, the surface of the first bonding ring 11 away from the first surface is coplanar with the surface of the second bonding ring 12 away from the first surface, and the surface of the third bonding ring 21 away from the third surface is coplanar with the surface of the fourth bonding ring 22 away from the third surface. This arrangement ensures that the end faces of the bonding rings are flush, the bonding interface is tightly fitted, and the bonding accuracy and consistency are improved.
[0057] In one embodiment, the third surface of the cover plate 2 is further provided with a groove 23, which is located inside the third bonding ring 21; When the cover plate 2 is placed on the first surface of the chip structure 1, the groove 23 is provided corresponding to the sensitive structure 13 of the chip structure 1, and the sidewall and bottom wall of the groove 23 form part of the sidewall of the sealing cavity 101.
[0058] The groove 23 can increase the space of the sealing cavity 101, making it easier to fill with inert gas.
[0059] In one embodiment, the sidewalls and bottomwalls of the groove 23 are spaced apart from the sensitive structure 13.
