[0023] In order to make the purpose, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0024] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a chip packaging structure provided according to an embodiment of the utility model; Figure 2 It is one of the schematic diagrams of the drainage structure provided according to the embodiment of the utility model; Figure 3 This is a second schematic diagram of a drainage structure provided according to an embodiment of the utility model; Figure 4 This is the third schematic diagram of the drainage structure provided according to the embodiment of the utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a chip packaging structure. The embodiment of the utility model provides a chip packaging structure, and the chip packaging structure includes a substrate 200 and a MEMS chip 100 that are arranged opposite to each other.

[0026] A first metal body 101 is disposed on the surface of the MEMS chip 100 close to the base substrate 200. Schematically, the MEMS chip may be an inertial sensor chip.

[0027] A bonding area (i.e. Figure 1 The area within B-B' and C-C' in the middle) and the cutting road area for cutting (i.e. Figure 1 The area outside AA' in the figure), wherein the cutting road area is arranged around the bonding area.

[0028] A second metal body 202 is provided on the bonding area, and the first metal body 101 is bonded to the second metal body 202. The first metal body 101 on the MEMS chip 100 is the main metal in the metal-to-metal bonding, and optionally, it can be copper, aluminum, iron, titanium, nickel, germanium and other metals. The second metal body 202 on the substrate 200 is the filling material (or solder, brazing material) in the metal-to-metal bonding, and can be tin, lead, silver, copper, gold, aluminum and other metals. Preferably, the first metal body 101 is germanium, and the second metal body 202 is aluminum.

[0029] A drainage structure 201 is disposed on the surface of the substrate close to the MEMS chip. The drainage structure 201 is connected across the bonding area and the cutting path area to drain excess metal liquid in the bonding area.

[0030] Since the cutting path area is arranged around the bonding area, usually, there is a certain gap between the cutting path area and the bonding area to facilitate the blade to cut the cutting path area. Based on this, the drainage structure 201 is connected across the bonding area and the cutting path area. The drainage structure 201 may be partially in the cutting path area and partially in the bonding area. It is also possible that one end of the drainage structure 201 abuts the bonding area and the other end abuts the cutting path area. The drainage structure 201 is used to guide the excess metal liquid in the bonding area to the cutting path area to prevent the excess metal liquid from flowing into the MEMS chip 100, thereby achieving overflow prevention and improving the bonding quality and chip yield.

[0031] More specifically, one end of the drainage structure 201 is connected to the second metal body 202, and the other end leads to the cutting path area.

[0032] In addition, the drainage structure 201 is generally made of metal. Preferably, the drainage structure 201 and the second metal body 202 are made of the same material, which can be tin, lead, silver, copper, gold, aluminum, etc.

[0033] Indicatively, Figure 2 As shown, the drainage structure 201 is in a straight line shape, that is, it extends directly from the second metal body 202 to the cutting area. When the second metal body 202 is bonding with the first metal body 101, the excess metal liquid flows to the cutting area through the straight line drainage structure 201.

[0034] In other embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the utility model also provides a drainage structure 201, which is arc-shaped. Compared with the straight drainage structure 201, the arc-shaped drainage structure 201 extends the flow path, and the arc-shaped drainage structure 201 can accommodate more excess metal liquid, further improving the anti-overflow effect and bonding quality.

[0035] In other embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the utility model also provides a drainage structure 201, which includes a first branch and a second branch, the first branch and the second branch are L-shaped, the first branch is connected to the second metal body 202, the second branch leads to the cutting path area, and the first branch and the second branch are integrally formed. The first branch drains the excess metal liquid generated by the second metal body 202 in the bonding reaction to the second branch, and the second branch then discharges the metal liquid to the cutting path area. Compared with the straight-line and arc-shaped drainage structures 201, the drainage structure 201 in this embodiment has a longer flow path, thereby further improving the anti-overflow effect and bonding quality.

[0036] The drainage structure 201 of the utility model adopts the form of a drainage belt. Compared with the prior art that sets an overflow groove and / or a baffle, which requires additional etching or addition between the bonding area and the cutting path area, the drainage belt of the utility model is integrally formed with the second metal body 202 and is arranged on the same layer as the second metal body. Its essence is a section extended from the second metal body 202. The drainage effect of the metal is used to guide the excess metal liquid in the bonding process to the cutting path area. The manufacturing process is more convenient and efficient, and can effectively simplify the chip manufacturing process.

[0037] It should be noted that the number of the drainage structures 201 is at least one, which can be determined according to the reaction amount of the first metal body 101 and the second metal body 202. When the reaction amount is large, multiple drainage structures 201 can be arranged around the bonding area to drain out the excess metal liquid in the entire bonding area. When the reaction amount is small, a small number of drainage structures 201 are arranged to ensure the simplicity of the chip packaging structure.

[0038] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0039] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent application shall be subject to the attached claims.
