[0002] At present, the vacuum degree requirement of MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) devices such as infrared sensor and gyroscope is extremely strict, and these devices need to be packaged by brazing process through vacuum sealing and welding equipment in the manufacturing process. However, in the brazing process, due to technical limitations, the gas rapid cooling method cannot be used, and only natural cooling or water cooling method can be used for cooling. This cooling method is relatively slow, which leads to the combination time of brazing material being too long, and further causes the problem of solder overflow. The overflow of solder not only seriously affects the appearance quality of the device, but also leads to a high scrap rate.

[0027] The content of the utility model will be further explained in detail in combination with specific embodiments:

[0028] As Figure 1 shown, a dam for preventing solder overflow includes a base plate 1, a cover plate 2, a germanium window 3 and a dam 4 arranged on the cover plate 2. The base plate 1 serves as the basis of packaging, and its four edges extend upward to form an extension 11, which not only enhances the mechanical strength of the base plate 1, but also forms a cavity 12 inside the base plate 1, providing the necessary space for chip welding. The cover plate 2 is in the shape of a mouth, and is welded on the extension 11 of the base plate 1, thereby closing the cavity 12 inside the base plate 1 and ensuring the integrity and sealing of the packaging structure. The germanium window 3 is welded on the cover plate 2 along its contour, and is usually used to provide an optical access to observe or detect the state of the chip inside the package after packaging. The dam 4 extends upward from the surface of the cover plate 2 and makes the inner boundary of the dam 4 project outside the outer edge of the germanium window 3, so that the dam 4 completely surrounds the germanium window 3 and forms an additional barrier around it. The dam 4 is a protrusion arranged on the cover plate 2, and its height is higher than that of the cover plate 2. A continuous closed blocking surface 41 is formed on the inner wall of the dam 4, which effectively blocks the solder overflow during the welding process, thereby protecting the chips and other components inside the package from damage.

[0029] In actual welding process, the solder may flow due to high temperature. If the dam 4 is in close contact with the side wall of the germanium window 3, the solder may overflow and contact the germanium window 3, causing damage to the germanium window 3 or affecting its performance. Maintaining an appropriate distance between the dam 4 and the side wall of the germanium window 3 can make the welding operation more flexible and convenient, more easily control the flow direction and amount of solder, and ensure the quality of the welding joint. In addition, the germanium window 3 is an important component in the packaging structure, and its performance directly affects the overall performance of the packaged device. Maintaining an appropriate distance between the dam 4 and the side wall of the germanium window 3 can ensure that the germanium window 3 is not damaged during packaging, thereby maintaining its original performance.

[0030] Embodiment one:

[0031] As Figure 3As shown, the barrier surface 41 formed by the inner wall of the dam 4 is arc-shaped. During the welding process, the solder melts and flows when subjected to heat. The arc-shaped barrier surface 41 can guide the flow of the solder more smoothly, so that the solder can be distributed more evenly along this curved surface, reducing the risk of solder accumulation or overflow caused by poor flow.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the barrier surface 41 formed by the inner wall of the dam 4 is a plane perpendicular to the upper surface of the cover plate 2. During the welding process, the plane barrier surface 41 can provide a clear and consistent solder blocking boundary. When the solder is subjected to heat, it will flow along this plane boundary, which is easier to control and guide, helps to reduce solder overflow and irregular flow, and ensures the accuracy and reliability of the encapsulation. At the same time, the design of the plane barrier surface 41 makes the manufacturing process of the dam 4 simpler and more direct, and easier to achieve through standard machining or injection molding processes, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and production cycle.

[0034] Example 3:

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the barrier surface 41 formed by the inner wall of the dam 4 is an inclined plane that forms an angle with the upper surface of the cover plate 2. The inclined plane allows the solder to flow along a predetermined path after melting, reducing solder overflow and irregular distribution, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the packaging. The adjustable angle of the inclined plane provides more flexibility for the packaging process. By adjusting the angle, it can accommodate chips of different sizes and shapes, as well as different packaging requirements.

[0036] To further explain, in practical applications, the dam structure 4 of the vertical plane barrier surface 41, the inclined plane barrier surface 41, and the arc-shaped barrier surface 41 can be customized according to packaging requirements and chip size, and all of them help to improve the heat dissipation performance of the packaging structure. During the soldering process, the heat released when the solder melts can be more effectively transferred to the outside of the packaging structure through different barrier surfaces 41, thereby reducing the temperature inside the packaging and improving the reliability and stability of the packaging.

[0037] In other implementations, such as Figure 2As shown, the upper surface of the cover plate 2 has a mounting groove 21 around its contour. A dam 4 is provided in the mounting groove 21, which allows the dam 4 to be precisely installed along the contour of the cover plate 2, avoiding encapsulation problems caused by positional deviation. The bottom surface of the dam 4 is in contact with the bottom surface of the mounting groove 21, providing a stable support for the dam 4 and helping to prevent the dam 4 from deforming or shifting during the encapsulation process, thereby ensuring the stability of the encapsulation. At the same time, it also achieves an effective sealing effect, preventing solder from overflowing from the gap between the dam 4 and the cover plate 2, thereby improving the quality of the encapsulation.

[0038] The dam 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cover plate 2 by sintering or bonding. The sintering method involves melting and penetrating the dam 4 material into the surface of the cover plate 2, while the bonding method involves coating the cover plate 2 with a polymer adhesive layer and curing it. Regardless of whether the sintering or bonding method is used, the dam 4 is fixedly set on the cover plate 2 without any gaps between it and the upper surface of the cover plate 2, which makes the isolation effect of the dam 4 better and prevents the solder from overflowing from the dam 4.

[0039] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model.
