[0024] The three-dimensional stacked packaging structure provided by the application comprises a bottom chip, a core chip group on a first active surface of the bottom chip, and a top chip group on a top surface of the core chip group. The first hybrid bonding layer in the bottom chip and the third hybrid bonding layer on the second back surface of one core chip of the hybrid bonding unit in the bottom layer of the core chip group are hybrid bonded together. Compared with the micro-bump interconnection mode, the hybrid bonding mode reduces the interconnection distance between the bottom layer of the core chip group and the bottom chip, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the three-dimensional stacked packaging structure, and more layers of chips (core chips) can be stacked, thereby improving the performance of the three-dimensional stacked packaging structure (such as realizing a larger capacity HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) three-dimensional stacked packaging structure).

[0025] Furthermore, the core chip group comprises two core chips with active surfaces bonded together in each hybrid bonding unit. On the one hand, the hybrid bonding unit is formed by hybrid bonding of the two core chips with active surfaces arranged oppositely, and the hybrid bonding unit can be mass-produced by a specific wafer-level manufacturing process, thereby improving the manufacturing efficiency of the hybrid bonding unit. The hybrid bonding unit is hybrid bonded after alignment of the two second wafers, thereby realizing simultaneous hybrid bonding of a plurality of hybrid bonding units on the two second wafers, improving the bonding accuracy and yield, and improving the bonding efficiency. On the other hand, when the three-dimensional stacked packaging structure has the same number of core chips, the number of stacking is halved when the hybrid bonding unit is stacked (for example, when six core chips are stacked, six times of stacking are required, and when six core chips are stacked in the application, only three times of stacking are required). The reduction of the number of stacking improves the accuracy of stacking, thereby further improving the yield and efficiency of bonding. On the other hand, the hybrid bonding unit is hybrid bonded together between the upper and lower hybrid bonding units and between the bottom layer of the hybrid bonding unit and the bottom chip. Compared with the micro-bump interconnection mode, the hybrid bonding mode reduces the interconnection distance between the core chips and between the bottom layer of the core chip and the bottom chip, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the three-dimensional stacked packaging structure, and more layers of chips (core chips) can be stacked, thereby improving the performance of the three-dimensional stacked packaging structure (such as realizing a larger capacity HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) three-dimensional stacked packaging structure).

Figure 1 and Figure 2 The diagram illustrates direct contact between the first through-hole interconnect structure 103 and the first pad 104. Furthermore, the drawing process for the core chip 200 and the top chip 300 is similar and will not be described further.

[0044] The first hybrid bonding layer (106, 107) in the bottom chip 100 is used to hybrid bond together with the third hybrid bonding layer (210, 211) on the second back side of a core chip 200 of the bottommost hybrid bonding unit 21 in the core chipset 20 during the formation of a three-dimensional stacked package structure. Specifically, the first bonding dielectric layer 106 and the first bonding metal layer 107 in the first hybrid bonding layer (106, 107) of the bottom chip 100 are hybrid bonded together with the third bonding layer (210, 211) on the second back side of a core chip 200 of the bottommost hybrid bonding unit 21 in the core chipset 20.

This mixed bonding method reduces the interconnection distance between the core chip 200 and the bottom chip 100 compared to the microbump interconnect method, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the three-dimensional stacked package structure. As a result, more layers of chips (core chips) can be stacked, thereby improving the performance of the three-dimensional stacked package structure (such as realizing a larger capacity HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) three-dimensional stacked package structure).

The third hybrid bonding layer (210, 211) on the second back side of a core chip 200 in the hybrid bonding unit 21 of the lower layer is bonded to the corresponding third hybrid bonding layer (210, 211) on the second back side of a core chip 200 in the hybrid bonding unit 21 of the lower layer. The third hybrid bonding layer (210, 211) on the second back side of a core chip 200 in the lowest layer of the hybrid bonding unit 21 of the core chip group 20 is bonded to the first hybrid bonding layer (106, 107) on the first active surface of the bottom chip 100. On the one hand, each of the aforementioned specific hybrid bonding units 21 is formed by hybrid bonding of two core chips 200 with their active surfaces facing each other. These hybrid bonding units 21 can be mass-produced using a specific wafer-level fabrication process (detailed later), improving the fabrication efficiency of the hybrid bonding units 21. Furthermore, the wafer-level fabrication process involves aligning two second wafers before hybrid bonding of the hybrid bonding units 21, achieving simultaneous hybrid bonding of several hybrid bonding units 21 on two second wafers. This improves bonding accuracy and yield while also increasing bonding efficiency. On the other hand, since the core chip group 20 is formed by sequentially stacking several hybrid bonding units 21 along a direction perpendicular to the first active surface of the bottom chip 100, when the three-dimensional stacked packaging structure has the same number of core chips, the use of hybrid bonding units 21 in this application... The number of stacking operations is halved (for example, stacking 6 core chips requires 6 stacking operations, while stacking 6 core chips in this application only requires 3 stacking operations). The reduction in the number of stacking operations improves the stacking accuracy, further improving the bonding yield and bonding efficiency. On the other hand, the hybrid bonding units 21 of the upper and lower layers, as well as the bottom layer hybrid bonding unit 21 and the bottom chip 100, are bonded together by hybrid bonding. Compared with the micro-bump interconnection method, this hybrid bonding method reduces the interconnection spacing between core chips 200 and between the bottom layer core chip 200 and the bottom chip 100, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the three-dimensional stacked package structure. Therefore, more layers of chips (core chips) can be stacked, thereby improving the performance of the three-dimensional stacked package structure (such as realizing a larger capacity HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) three-dimensional stacked package structure).

The top chipset 30 includes two top chips 300 with their active surfaces bonded together. The number of top chipsets 30 is one.
