Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of silicon photonic modules, and in particular to a gold wire bonding structure for a 1.6T silicon photonic module and the 1.6T silicon photonic module. Background Art

[0002] The current mainstream solution for 1.6T silicon photonic modules adopts a single-wave 200G design, with a total of 8 channels, 8×200G=1.6T. The high-speed RF line of the PCB board in the 1.6T silicon photonic module adopts a differential pair design. In order to reduce the parasitic inductance of the gold wire, a double gold wire design is used between each RF pad of the PCB board and each RF pad of the silicon photonic chip (the parasitic inductance of two gold wires is half that of one gold wire). In order to increase the bonding strength of the gold wire, a ball is planted on the RF pad of the PCB board. The two gold wires are independent and approximately parallel, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the smaller the parasitic inductance of the gold wire, the better. However, the size of the RF pad in the current design is generally 140um due to parasitic capacitance and other issues. The diameter of the gold wire is 25um, and the outer diameter of the gold ball bonded by the gold wire is 2 to 3 times the outer diameter of the gold wire. Therefore, the current solution can only use two gold wires for each RF pad, and the number of gold wires cannot be increased. Utility Model Content

[0018] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a gold wire bonding structure for a 1.6T silicon photonic module includes: a first RF pad 110 and a second RF pad 120, a first gold ball 130 and a second gold ball 140 are planted side by side at a predetermined interval along the width direction of the first RF pad 110, and a third gold ball 150 is planted on the second RF pad 120 at a position corresponding to the second gold ball 140;

[0021] The unimplanted area on the second RF pad 120 is welded to one end of the gold wire 160, and the other end of the gold wire 160 is first pulled up and welded to the first gold ball 130, then pulled up without being cut off and welded to the third gold ball 150, and finally pulled up without being cut off and welded to the second gold ball 140;

[0022] In this solution, two gold balls are planted on the first RF pad 110 and one gold ball is planted on the second RF pad 120, so that the whole has three gold balls, which is one more gold ball than the prior art. Then, one end of the gold wire 160 is welded to the unplanted area on the second RF pad 120, and the other end of the gold wire 160 is first pulled up and welded to the first gold ball 130, then pulled up without being cut off and welded to the third gold ball 150, and finally pulled up without being cut off and welded to the second gold ball 140, forming an "N" shape. The structure has the following features: the number of gold wires 160 is increased from two to three, which effectively improves the high-frequency performance. In the gold wire bonding, the area on the second RF pad 120 that has not been implanted with a ball does not need to be implanted with a ball, and cannot be implanted with a ball. In addition, in the gold wire bonding, the gold wire 160 cannot be pulled up from the second gold ball 140 and welded to the area on the second RF pad 120 that has not been implanted with a ball. In this way, two gold wires will cross each other, and in order to avoid a short circuit, it is necessary to avoid them in the height direction, which ultimately results in a very long length of the gold wire with a high curvature, which in turn reduces the high-frequency performance.

[0023] Example 2

[0024] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment is a further improvement on the basis of embodiment 1, and the details are as follows:

[0025] The outer diameters of the first gold ball 130, the second gold ball 140 and the third gold ball 150 are 2 to 3 times the outer diameter of the gold wire 160. The widths of the first RF pad 110 and the second RF pad 120 are both 140um, and the outer diameter of the gold wire 160 is 25um. That is, the first RF pad 110 can only implant two gold balls at most. Theoretically, the second RF pad 120 can also implant two gold balls at most. However, in actual application, the second RF pad 120 only implants one gold ball.

[0026] Example 3

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, a 1.6T silicon photonic module includes: a PCB board 2, a silicon photonic chip 3 and an even number of gold wire bonding structures 1, the first RF pad 110 in the gold wire bonding structure 1 is located on the PCB board 2, and the second RF pad 120 in the gold wire bonding structure 1 is located on the silicon photonic chip 3. By adopting the gold wire bonding structure 1, the high-frequency performance of the 1.6T silicon photonic module is effectively improved. In this embodiment: the number of gold wire bonding structures 1 is sixteen, and each two are in a group.

[0028] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as limitations of the present invention. Ordinary technicians in the field can change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
