Description

Optoelectronic interconnection package structure and preparation method thereof TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of semiconductor, and relates to an optoelectronic interconnection package structure and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Optical signals have excellent performances such as low signal attenuation, low energy consumption, high bandwidth and CMOS compatibility. It is generally believed in the industry that introducing optical technology into semiconductor processes can not only reduce chip size, cost and power consumption, but also improve reliability, so that functional chips can be connected by optical fibers in an edge coupling manner. However, with the reduction of chip spacing, the application mode of optical fiber coupling is limited.

[0003] In semiconductor 2.5D / 3D packaging, organic adapter plates, through-silicon via (TSV) adapter plates and through-glass via (TGV) adapter plates are the mainstream adapter plate materials. The main purpose of setting the adapter plate is to solve some challenges in semiconductor packaging, such as improving integration, reducing cost and improving electrical performance.

[0004] Among them, since glass is an insulating material, its dielectric constant is low (about 1 / 3 of that of silicon), and its loss factor is small (about 2-3 orders of magnitude smaller than that of silicon), and its high-frequency performance is excellent, which enables glass to significantly reduce insertion loss and crosstalk at high frequencies. However, the key problem faced by TGV technology is the lack of a deep etching process similar to silicon, making it difficult to quickly manufacture glass deep holes or trenches with high aspect ratio. Traditional TGV adapter plate preparation methods include sandblasting, mechanical drilling, dry etching, wet etching, focused discharge and laser methods. However, all of the above methods have obvious shortcomings. The most widely used method at present is the laser method. However, because the energy curve excited by the laser itself is a Gaussian energy curve, the glass via formed by the laser method is tapered and cannot form a 90° vertical hole. Therefore, when high-density openings are made, the over layer phenomenon may occur on the upper part of the hole, causing the metal in the adjacent opening to be in contact. In order to avoid the over layer phenomenon, the pitch of the adjacent TGV hole needs to be increased, so that the existing laser method cannot be applied to the preparation of high-density and high-performance products.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an optoelectronic interconnection package structure and a preparation method thereof. SUMMARY

The shapes, number and proportions of the components in actual implementation can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout pattern of the components can be more complex.

[0059] Referring to FIG. 1, the present embodiment provides a preparation method of an optoelectronic interconnection packaging structure, which can prepare a high-performance TGV adapter plate with smaller pitch, smaller CD size, thinner, suitable for high-density arrangement, and can effectively avoid metal column overlapping based on a laser method; further, an optical waveguide layer is arranged in the glass substrate and the re-routed layer, and the connection of the electrical chip and the optical chip is performed in combination with the TGV adapter plate, which can make the metal wiring more flexible, realize optoelectronic interconnection integration, reduce the packaging size, reduce the power consumption, improve the reliability, and be suitable for high-density integrated packaging, and can achieve good optoelectronic signal transmission.

[0060] The preparation of the optoelectronic interconnection packaging structure will be further described below in combination with FIGS. 2-12, which specifically includes:

[0061] First, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, step S1 is performed to provide a glass substrate 100, which includes oppositely arranged first and second surfaces.

[0062] Specifically, the glass substrate 100 can include a wafer-level glass substrate, such as 4 inches, 6 inches, 8 inches, 12 inches, etc. The thickness of the glass substrate 100 can be 200-300 μm, such as 200 μm, 250 μm, 300 μm, etc. However, the size of the glass substrate 100 is not limited thereto, and can be set as needed, which is not excessively limited herein.

[0063] Next, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a first blind hole 101 with a bottom in the glass substrate 100 is formed from a first surface of the glass substrate 100 by a first laser method, and a second blind hole 102 with a bottom in the glass substrate 100 is formed from a second surface of the glass substrate 100 by a second laser method.

[0064] The first laser method can include, for example, a laser ablation method or a laser-induced phase-change etching method. Similarly, the second laser method can include, for example, a laser ablation method or a laser-induced phase-change etching method. According to requirements, the first laser method and the second laser method preferably use the same preparation method to reduce the complexity of the process, facilitate the management and operation of the process, but are not limited thereto. According to requirements, the first laser method and the second laser method can also use different preparation methods. The specific operations of the laser ablation method and the laser-induced phase-change etching method are not described here and can be referred to existing preparation methods.

[0065] Next, referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, a thinning process is performed from the first surface of the glass substrate 100 and the second surface of the glass substrate 100, respectively, so that the first blind hole 101 becomes a first through hole 111 that penetrates the glass substrate 100 from top to bottom, and the second blind hole 102 becomes a second through hole 112 that penetrates the glass substrate 100 from bottom to top, and the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 112 are staggered.

[0066] Specifically, most of the existing methods for preparing TGV adapter plates use laser methods to prepare TGV holes in the glass substrate. However, the TGV holes formed by the laser method are conical, as shown in the morphology of the first blind hole 101 in FIG. 2. Therefore, to avoid the over layer phenomenon between the TGV holes, the distance between the TGV holes is usually increased in the process, for example, the pitch between adjacent TGV holes is set to 120-150 μm. This way of increasing the pitch to avoid over layer is difficult to apply to high-density products. Therefore, referring to FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the laser method is cleverly implemented on the first surface and the second surface of the glass substrate 100, respectively, so that the first blind hole 101 and the second blind hole 102 can be formed in the glass substrate 100, and referring to FIG. 3, after the first blind hole 101 and the second blind hole 102 are formed, a double-sided thinning process can be used to convert the first blind hole 101 into the first through hole 111 that penetrates the glass substrate 100 from top to bottom, and convert the second blind hole 102 into the second through hole 112 that penetrates the glass substrate 100 from bottom to top, and the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 112 are staggered.

[0067] In the embodiment, the pitch between the first via hole 111 and the second via hole 112 can be reduced while avoiding over layer. The thickness of the glass substrate 100 after thinning can be 100-200 μm, such as 100 μm, 150 μm, 200 μm, etc. The area with a larger width in the blind hole can be removed by thinning to reduce the CD size of the TGV metal column prepared subsequently.

[0068] The thinning process can be, for example, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) or mechanical polishing, which is not limited herein.

[0069] Referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, the first blind hole 101 is formed by laser, so that the first blind hole 101 has an opening width greater than a bottom width. Similarly, the second blind hole 102 is formed by laser, so that the second blind hole 102 has an opening width greater than a bottom width. The first blind hole 101 and the second blind hole 102 are arranged in an overlapping manner, so that the first blind hole 101 and the second blind hole 102 can make full use of the effective space of the glass substrate 100, and the pitch D between the adjacent TGV holes can be reduced. The pitch D between the first via hole 111 and the second via hole 112 can be 80-100 μm, such as 80 μm, 90 μm, 100 μm, etc.

[0070] In the embodiment, the first blind hole 101 and the second blind hole 102 have a separation space therebetween when the first blind hole 101 and the second blind hole 102 are prepared, so that the over layer phenomenon can be effectively avoided.

[0071] In another embodiment, the first blind hole 101 and the second blind hole 102 can also be overlapping, i.e., the end portion has an over layer phenomenon. When the glass substrate 100 is subjected to a double-sided thinning process, the overlapping area causing the over layer phenomenon can be removed by the thinning process, so that the pitch D between the first blind hole 101 and the second blind hole 102 can be further reduced. The pitch D between the first blind hole 101 and the second blind hole 102 can be 30-100 μm, such as 30 μm, 60 μm, 70 μm, 80 μm, 90 μm, 100 μm, etc. Thus, the over layer phenomenon can be effectively avoided, the density of TGV hole distribution is improved, and high-quality products can be prepared.

[0072] Next, referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, step S4 is performed to form a first TGV metal column 201 filling the first via hole 111 in the first via hole 111, and a second TGV metal column 202 filling the second via hole 112 in the second via hole 112.

[0073] Specifically, the first TGV metal pillar 201 and the second TGV metal pillar 202 are preferably formed synchronously to reduce the process steps, and of course, the first TGV metal pillar 201 and the second TGV metal pillar 202 can also be prepared step by step according to the needs, which is not limited here.

[0074] The method for forming the first TGV metal pillar 201 can include, for example, electroless plating or electroplating, and the method for forming the second TGV metal pillar 202 can include, for example, electroless plating or electroplating, and the specific preparation method of the first TGV metal pillar 201 and the second TGV metal pillar 202 is not limited here. The specific operation of electroless plating or electroplating is not repeated here, and can be referred to the existing preparation method.

[0075] In this embodiment, the material of the first TGV metal pillar 201 and the second TGV metal pillar 202 is copper metal, but the material of the TGV metal pillar is not limited to this, and other conductive metal materials can also be used.

[0076] As shown in FIG. 4, the critical dimension (CD) of the first TGV metal pillar 201, i.e. d, can be 40-50 μm, such as 40 μm, 45 μm, 50 μm, etc., and the critical dimension (CD) of the second TGV metal pillar 202 can be 40-50 μm, such as 40 μm, 45 μm, 50 μm, etc.

[0077] Further, after the first via hole 111 and the second via hole 112 are prepared by the laser method, in order to facilitate the formation of the first TGV metal pillar 201 and the second TGV metal pillar 202 which fill the via hole, the first via hole 111 and the second via hole 112 can be surface treated, such as wet etching, etc., so that the first via hole 111 and the second via hole 112 have a smooth inner surface, and the method of surface treatment is not limited here.

[0078] Further, after the first TGV metal pillar 201 and the second TGV metal pillar 202 are formed, in order to facilitate the preparation of the subsequent rewiring layer, the glass substrate 100 can be surface treated, such as grinding, wet etching, etc., to avoid electrical connection between the TGV metal pillars and obtain a flat surface.

[0079] Next, referring to FIGS. 1 and 5, step S5 is performed, and a first groove 103 is formed in the glass substrate 100 from the first surface of the glass substrate 100 by a third laser method.

[0080] The third laser method can include a laser ablation method or a laser-induced denaturation etching method, and preferably the first laser method, the second laser method and the third laser method adopt the same preparation method to reduce the process complexity and facilitate the management and operation of the process, but are not limited thereto, and the first laser method, the second laser method and the third laser method can also adopt different preparation methods according to needs.

[0081] Since the first groove 103 is prepared by a laser method, the opening width of the first groove 103 is greater than the bottom width, that is, the sidewall of the first groove 103 has an inclined surface, which is beneficial to the subsequent transmission of optical signals. The inclination angle of the inclined surface can be set according to specific needs, which is not limited here.

[0082] Next, referring to FIGS. 1, 6 and 7, step S6 is performed to form a first optical waveguide layer 401 in the first groove 104.

[0083] To reduce optical loss and improve optical transmission efficiency, preferably, a metal mirror 300 is formed on the sidewall of the first groove 103 in the embodiment, such as a titanium metal mirror prepared by sputtering and etching, and the metal mirror 300 formed can also cover the bottom of the first groove 103, which is not limited here.

[0084] The first optical waveguide layer 401 can be prepared by a semiconductor process, that is, prepared by coating, exposure, development, etching and the like. The first optical waveguide layer 401 formed can include an organic polymer optical waveguide wiring layer, a silicon-based optical waveguide wiring layer, a lithium niobate optical waveguide wiring layer or a lithium borate optical waveguide wiring layer, etc.

[0085] Next, referring to FIGS. 1 and 8, step S7 is performed to form a first re-wiring layer 501 on the first surface of the glass substrate 100 and a second re-wiring layer 502 on the second surface of the glass substrate 100, wherein the first re-wiring layer 501 and the second re-wiring layer 502 are respectively electrically connected to the first TGV metal column 201 and the second TGV metal column 202.

[0086] Specifically, the method for forming the first re-wiring layer 501 on the first surface of the glass substrate 100 can include a semiconductor process or a substrate bonding method, and similarly, the method for forming the second re-wiring layer 502 on the second surface of the glass substrate 100 can include a semiconductor process or a substrate bonding method.

[0087] The semiconductor process method is a method for preparing the first rewiring layer 501 and the second rewiring layer 502 on the glass substrate 100 through steps such as coating, exposure, development, deposition, and etching. The substrate bonding method is a method for directly bonding the first rewiring layer 501 and the second rewiring layer 502 with the glass substrate 100 after the first rewiring layer 501 and the second rewiring layer 502 are prepared in advance.

[0088] The specific preparation of the first rewiring layer 501 and the second rewiring layer 502 is not limited here, and the same preparation method can be used, or different preparation methods can be used. The specific material and structure of the first rewiring layer 501 and the second rewiring layer 502 are not limited here and can be selected as needed.

[0089] Then, referring to FIGS. 1 and 9, step S8 is performed to pattern the first rewiring layer 501 to form a second groove 104 in the first rewiring layer 501, and the second groove 104 exposes the first optical waveguide layer 401.

[0090] Specifically, the etching method of the first rewiring layer 501 can be selected as needed, and the appearance of the second groove 104 is not limited here.

[0091] Then, referring to FIGS. 1 and 10, step S9 is performed to form a second optical waveguide layer 402 in the second groove 104, and the second optical waveguide layer 402 is connected with the first optical waveguide layer 401.

[0092] Specifically, the second optical waveguide layer 402 can be prepared by a semiconductor process method, that is, prepared through steps such as coating, exposure, development, and etching. The formed second optical waveguide layer 402 can include an organic polymer optical waveguide wiring layer, a silicon-based optical waveguide wiring layer, a lithium niobate optical waveguide wiring layer, or a lithium borate optical waveguide wiring layer. Preferably, the preparation and material of the second optical waveguide layer 402 are the same as those of the first optical waveguide layer 401 to reduce the process complexity.
