[0057] Referring to Figure 1, this embodiment provides a method for fabricating a 3D optoelectronic interconnect packaging structure, which can realize optoelectronic interconnect integration, reduce packaging size, reduce power consumption, improve reliability, is suitable for high-density integrated packaging, and can achieve good optoelectronic transmission.
[0058] The fabrication of the 3D optoelectronic interconnect packaging structure will be further described below with reference to Figures 2 to 14 of the specification.
[0059] First, referring to Figures 1 and 2, step S1 is performed to provide a glass composite, which includes a stacked glass substrate 100 and a glass waveguide layer 200, and the refractive index of the glass waveguide layer 200 is greater than the refractive index of the glass substrate 100.
[0060] As an example, the preparation method of the glass composite may include a fusion-drawing lamination method, but is not limited to this. In this embodiment, the glass composite adopts a fusion-drawing lamination method, and the refractive index of the upper glass waveguide layer 200 is greater than the refractive index of the lower glass substrate 100, so as to facilitate the subsequent construction of the glass waveguide structure.
[0061] When the glass composite is prepared by fusion drawing and lamination method, it is preferable that the refractive index difference between the glass waveguide layer 200 and the glass substrate 100 is 5% to 10%, such as 5%, 6%, 8%, 10%, etc., so that the glass substrate 100 can serve as the lower cladding layer of the glass waveguide layer 200, so as to facilitate the subsequent preparation of a glass waveguide structure with good transmission performance.
[0062] As an example, the glass composite may be wafer-level in size.
[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, the glass composite is preferably wafer-level in size, such as 4 inches, 6 inches, 8 inches, 12 inches, etc., to facilitate the fabrication of high-performance wafer-level packaging structures. The specific size of the glass composite is not excessively limited here, and the thickness of the glass substrate 100 and the glass waveguide layer 200 in the glass composite can also be selected as needed.
[0064] Next, referring to Figures 1, 3 and 4, step S2 is performed to pattern the glass waveguide layer 200 and expose a portion of the glass substrate 100.
[0065] Specifically, referring to Figure 3, the patterned photoresist layer 300 can be formed by coating photoresist on the glass waveguide layer 200, selecting a mask with the desired pattern, and then performing exposure and development steps. Then, the glass waveguide layer 200 is etched based on the photoresist layer 300, and the excess photoresist layer 300 is removed, thus the patterned glass waveguide layer 200 can be prepared.
[0066] The morphology of the glass waveguide layer 200 can be referred to Figure 5, which illustrates six structural schematic diagrams of the glass waveguide layer 200 with different morphologies. The morphology of the glass waveguide layer 200 is not limited to these. The required patterned mask can be selected and set as needed to form the photoresist layer 300 with different morphologies, and the glass waveguide layer 200 with different morphologies can be prepared by etching. The specific morphology of the glass waveguide layer 200 is not excessively limited here.
[0067] The material of the photoresist layer 300 can be either positive or negative photoresist, and the specific choice can be made according to the needs, without limitation here.
[0068] Next, referring to Figures 1 and 6, step S3 is performed to form a dielectric layer 400 on the exposed glass substrate 100. The dielectric layer 400 covers the glass waveguide layer 200, and the refractive index of the dielectric layer 400 is less than the refractive index of the glass waveguide layer 200.
[0069] Specifically, the dielectric layer 400 can be made of insulating materials such as polyimide (PI) or silicon oxide to avoid subsequent impact on electrical transmission.
[0070] Furthermore, when selecting the material of the dielectric layer 400, the refractive index of the selected material must also be considered so that the dielectric layer 400 can be used as the upper cladding layer of the glass waveguide layer 200.
[0071] Next, referring to Figures 1 and 7, step S4 is performed to form a metal pillar 500 that penetrates the dielectric layer 400 and the glass substrate 100.
[0072] Specifically, the step of forming the metal pillar 500 may include forming a through hole (not shown) penetrating the dielectric layer 400 and the glass substrate 100, and filling the through hole with metal.
[0073] The drilling methods can include laser drilling or mechanical drilling, which can be selected according to the needs. The filling method can be electroplating, etc.
[0074] The specific steps for preparing the metal pillar 500, the size of the metal pillar 500, and the distribution of the metal pillar 500 are not overly restricted here, and can be selected as needed. The material of the metal pillar 500 can be copper, but is not limited to this; other conductive metal materials can also be used.
[0075] Next, referring to Figures 1 and 8, step S5 is performed to form a first redistribution layer 610 on the dielectric layer 400 and a second redistribution layer 620 on the glass substrate 100, and both the first redistribution layer 610 and the second redistribution layer 620 are electrically connected to the metal pillar 500.
[0076] Specifically, the method for forming the first redistribution layer 610 on the dielectric layer 400 may include a semiconductor process method or a substrate bonding method. Similarly, the method for forming the second redistribution layer 620 on the glass substrate 100 may include a semiconductor process method or a substrate bonding method.
[0077] The semiconductor manufacturing process is a method that uses steps such as coating, exposure, development, deposition, and etching to prepare the first redistribution layer 610 and the second redistribution layer 620. The substrate bonding method is a method that prepares the required first redistribution layer 610 and the second redistribution layer 620 in advance, and then bonds the first redistribution layer 610 and the second redistribution layer 620 to the dielectric layer 400 and the glass substrate 100, respectively.
[0078] Since both the first redistribution layer 610 and the second redistribution layer 620 are electrically connected to the metal pillar 500, the first redistribution layer 610 and the second redistribution layer 620 can be electrically interconnected through the metal pillar 500.
[0079] The specific structure, material, and preparation method of the first redistribution layer 610 and the second redistribution layer 620 are not excessively restricted here. They can be selected as needed. They can use the same structure, material, and preparation method, or they can use different structures, materials, and preparation methods.
[0080] Next, referring to Figures 1, 9 and 10, step S6 is performed to form a through-groove 700 that penetrates the first redistribution layer 610, the dielectric layer 400, the glass substrate 100 and the second redistribution layer 620, and the sidewall of the through-groove 700 exposes the glass waveguide layer 200.
[0081] Specifically, the method for forming the through-slot 700 may include laser drilling or mechanical drilling. The preparation method, size, morphology, and distribution of the through-slot 700 can be selected as needed. Figure 10 illustrates a distribution of multiple through-slots 700 with a rectangular morphology. It should be noted that, in order to construct the subsequent optical transmission path, the sidewalls of the through-slot 700 need to expose the glass waveguide layer 200.
[0082] Next, referring to Figures 1 and 11, step S7 is performed to provide a composite adapter board, which includes an adapter board 800 and a third redistribution layer 630 and a fourth redistribution layer 640 located on both sides of the adapter board 800, and the adapter board 800, the third redistribution layer 630 and the fourth redistribution layer 640 are electrically connected.
[0083] As an example, the adapter board 800 may include a TSV adapter board or a TGV adapter board, and the specific type can be selected as needed.
[0084] The third redistribution layer 630 and the fourth redistribution layer 640, together with the intermediate adapter board 800, can achieve electrical interconnection. The specific structure and fabrication method of the composite adapter board are not limited here.
[0085] Next, referring to Figures 1 and 11, step S8 is performed, whereby the composite adapter board is bonded to the second redistribution layer 620 and located above the through slot 700, and the third redistribution layer 630 is electrically connected to the second redistribution layer 620.
[0086] Specifically, the composite adapter board can be bonded to the second redistribution layer 620 via reflow soldering or similar processes, and the electrical interconnection between the third redistribution layer 630 and the second redistribution layer 620 can be achieved using solder balls. However, the bonding method between the composite adapter board and the second redistribution layer 620 is not limited to this. The portion of the composite adapter board exposed in the through-groove 700 may have pads, which facilitate subsequent electrical interconnection with the optical chip.
[0087] Next, referring to Figures 1, 12, and 13, step S9 is performed, providing an electrical chip 910 and a side-emitting chip 920, and bonding the electrical chip 910 to the fourth redistribution layer 640, and electrically connecting the electrical chip 910 to the fourth redistribution layer 640, and bonding the side-emitting chip 920 to the through-groove 700, and electrically connecting the side-emitting chip 920 to the third redistribution layer 630, and the photosensitive area 921 of the side-emitting chip 920 is correspondingly disposed with the glass waveguide layer 200.
[0088] Specifically, after the side-emitting chip 920 is bonded within the through-groove 700, it can be electrically interconnected with the third redistribution layer 630. The photosensitive area 921 of the side-emitting chip 920 is correspondingly disposed with the glass waveguide layer 200, thereby forming an optical transmission path. The electrical chip 910 may include active components configured specifically for operation using electrical signals, such as one or more transistors, voltage converters, transimpedance amplifiers (TIAs), clock data recovery (CDR) components, microcontrollers, etc. The electrical chip 910 may include various functions, such as driving, processing, and clearing signals from and to the side-emitting chip 920, and providing the necessary voltage to the side-emitting chip 920. No excessive limitations are placed here regarding the specific types, quantities, and distribution of the electrical chip 910 and the side-emitting chip 920.
[0089] As an example, the electrical chip 910 and the fourth redistribution layer 640 may also have a bottom filler layer 110 to cover the gap between the electrical chip 910 and the fourth redistribution layer 640, thereby protecting the electrical chip 910 and the fourth redistribution layer 640.
[0090] Next, referring to Figures 1 and 14, step S10 is performed to form a metal bump 120 on the first redistribution layer 610, and the metal bump 120 is electrically connected to the first redistribution layer 610. The fabrication and material of the metal bump 120 are not excessively limited here.
[0091] Furthermore, when the glass composite is wafer-level in size, a dicing process can be used after forming the metal bumps 120 to divide the prepared wafer-level packaging structure into multiple independently configured packaging unit structures, thereby improving production efficiency. The dicing process can be mechanical cutting or laser cutting; no excessive restrictions are imposed here.
[0092] Referring to Figures 2 to 14, this embodiment also provides a 3D optoelectronic interconnect packaging structure. The 3D optoelectronic interconnect packaging structure can be directly prepared using the above-described fabrication process. Therefore, the materials, structure, etc. of the 3D optoelectronic interconnect packaging structure can be found in the above description. Of course, the 3D optoelectronic interconnect packaging structure can also be prepared using other fabrication processes as needed.
