Abstract
Description
Silicon bridge module with integrated passive devices and manufacturing method thereof Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a silicon bridge module integrating passive devices and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the rapidly increasing demand for higher-performance and more versatile chips in electronic devices, and with integrated circuit manufacturing processes approaching the physical limits of size, Moore's Law has reached a bottleneck, ushering in the chip industry into a "post-Moore era." Simply relying on feature size reduction is no longer sufficient to meet the demand for continued improvement in chip performance. Against this backdrop, achieving systematic integration of multiple chips through advanced packaging has become a key approach to improving chip performance.
[0003] Among heterogeneous chip integration methods, embedded silicon bridges can reduce package area, lower the difficulty and cost of package processing, and enable high-density interconnection between chips, making them a mainstream advanced packaging solution. However, existing silicon bridges only enable planar interconnection and fail to consider vertical communication. Furthermore, existing silicon bridges fail to consider signal or power transmission processing requirements, such as filtering and decoupling. Consequently, there are no implementations for introducing passive components such as capacitors and inductors into embedded silicon bridges.
[0004] Passive components also play a crucial role in power and signal transmission within the package. For example, heterogeneous integration requires a robust power delivery network (PDN) to ensure stable operation of each chip. However, these passive components are often integrated as discrete components within the integrated circuit, limiting the overall area and volume reduction potential of heterogeneous chip integration. Furthermore, they typically require long trace lengths, which can lead to strong parasitic effects and thus limit the overall performance and stability of the package.

[0049] In the following description, the present invention is described with reference to various embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the various embodiments can be implemented without one or more of the specific details or with other alternative and / or additional methods, materials, or components.

However, the present invention is not limited to these specific details. In addition, it should be understood that the various embodiments shown in the drawings are illustrative representations and are not necessarily drawn to scale.
[0050] In this specification, reference to "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearances of the phrase "in one embodiment" in various places in this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment.
[0051] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention describe the process steps in a specific order. However, this is only for the purpose of illustrating the specific embodiment and does not limit the order of the steps. On the contrary, in different embodiments of the present invention, the order of the steps can be adjusted according to the process.
[0052] In view of the fact that existing silicon bridges do not consider integrating passive devices into the silicon bridge, the passive devices often need to be integrated in the form of discrete devices, which in turn causes disadvantages such as high space occupancy and large parasitic effects. The present invention provides a silicon bridge module with integrated passive devices, which integrates the integrated passive devices into the silicon bridge through a three-dimensional stacking method, thereby realizing the integrated integration of high-density interconnected silicon bridges and silicon-based integrated passive devices.
[0053] Specifically, a silicon bridge module with integrated passive devices includes a substrate, a first insulating layer disposed on a first surface of the substrate, a capacitor disposed on the surface of the first insulating layer, a second insulating layer disposed on the surface of the capacitor but exposing at least a portion of the capacitor's electrodes, a first metal interconnect layer disposed on the surface of the second insulating layer and electrically connected to the capacitor, and an external pad disposed on the outermost layer of the first metal interconnect layer and electrically connected to the first metal interconnect layer. In some embodiments of the present invention, the silicon bridge module further includes a through-silicon via (TSV) penetrating the substrate and electrically connected to the first metal interconnect layer, and / or a second metal interconnect layer disposed on the second surface of the substrate and electrically connected to the TSV.
[0054] In an embodiment of the present invention, the capacitor may be a deep trench capacitor or a planar capacitor. The silicon bridge module may have different structures based on different capacitor types and whether there are through silicon vias.
[0055] Figures 1 to 4 illustrate the structures of different silicon bridge modules according to various embodiments of the present invention. The silicon bridge module shown in Figure 1 utilizes deep trench capacitors without TSVs; the silicon bridge module shown in Figure 2 utilizes deep trench capacitors with TSVs; the silicon bridge module shown in Figure 3 utilizes planar capacitors without TSVs; and the silicon bridge module shown in Figure 4 utilizes planar capacitors with TSVs.
[0056] The structure and manufacturing method of each silicon bridge module will be further described below with reference to the drawings of each embodiment.
[0057] The silicon bridge module shown in Figure 1 includes a substrate 101, a first insulating layer 121, a second insulating layer 122, a deep trench capacitor 131, a first metal interconnect layer 141, an inductor 107, and an external pad 105. The deep trench capacitor 131 is arranged in a deep silicon trench on the first surface of the substrate 101, and includes a first electrode layer 1311, a dielectric layer 1312, and a second electrode layer 1313. The deep trench capacitor 131 is isolated from the substrate 101 by the first insulating layer 121. In one embodiment of the present invention, the substrate 101 is made of silicon. In one embodiment of the present invention, the first metal interconnect layer 141 includes one or more layers of conductive lines and an insulating medium provided between the conductive lines. The inductor 107 is integrated into the first metal interconnect layer 141. In one embodiment of the present invention, the inductor includes an inductor coil structure.
[0058] The silicon bridge module shown in Figure 2 has a substantially identical structure to the silicon bridge module shown in Figure 1 , differing only in that it further includes a through-silicon via (TSV) 106. The TSV 106 extends through the substrate 101, with a first end electrically connected to the first metal interconnect layer 141 and a second end exposed to the second surface of the substrate 101. For example, the second end may be provided with an external bonding pad electrically connected thereto, or a second metal interconnect layer 142. Similarly, the second metal interconnect layer 142 includes one or more layers of conductive circuitry and an insulating medium disposed between the conductive circuitry.
[0059] The silicon bridge module shown in Figure 3 differs from the silicon bridge module shown in Figure 1 in its capacitor type. It includes a substrate 101, a first insulating layer 121, a second insulating layer 122, an intermediate insulating layer 123, a planar capacitor 132, a first metal interconnect layer 141, an inductor 107, and an external pad 105. The planar capacitor 132 is disposed on the surface of the first insulating layer 121 and includes a first electrode layer 1321, a dielectric layer 1322, and a second electrode layer 1323. As shown, the first electrode layer 1321 is disposed on the surface of the first insulating layer 121, but does not cover the entire first insulating layer 121. The surface of the first insulating layer not provided with the first electrode layer can simultaneously form a portion of the first metal interconnect layer's circuitry. The dielectric layer 1322 is disposed on the surface of the first electrode layer 1321, but does not cover the entire first electrode layer, to facilitate the extraction of the first electrode layer. The second electrode layer 1323 is disposed on the surface of the dielectric layer 1322 and has substantially the same dimensions as the dielectric layer 1322. Similarly, part of the circuits of the first metal interconnection layer may also be formed simultaneously around the second electrode layer 1323 .
[0060] The silicon bridge module shown in FIG4 has a substantially identical structure to the silicon bridge module shown in FIG3 , differing only in that it further includes a through-silicon via (TSV) 106. The TSV 106 penetrates the substrate 101, with a first end electrically connected to the first metal interconnect layer 141 and a second end exposed to the second surface of the substrate 101. For example, the second end may be provided with an external pad electrically connected thereto, or with the second metal interconnect layer 142.
[0061] As described above, various silicon bridge modules can be applied to fan-out packaging or FCBGA packaging structures using embedded substrates. Figures 5a to 5d respectively show schematic structural diagrams of different packaging structures including silicon bridge modules according to different embodiments of the present invention. Figures 5a and 5b respectively show the application of a silicon bridge module 001 without a through-silicon via structure in a fan-out packaging and an FCBGA using an embedded substrate. As shown in the figure, the silicon bridge module can be electrically connected to the chip and circuit in the packaging structure directly or through a rewiring structure. Figures 5c and 5d respectively show the application of a silicon bridge module 002 with a through-silicon via structure in a fan-out packaging and an FCBGA using an embedded substrate. As shown in the figure, the silicon bridge module with through-silicon vias can further realize the vertical connection of chips and other devices in the packaging structure.
