Description

Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a high-density photoelectric integrated three-dimensional packaging structure and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
With the development of high-rate data communication technology, requirements on transmission rate, bandwidth and high energy efficiency of an optical module are increasingly high. Light has the advantages of small signal attenuation, low energy consumption, high bandwidth and the like, so that silicon optical technology is introduced to increase the I/O bandwidth and reduce the energy consumption to the maximum extent. Among them, how to package optical integrated circuits (PICs) and Electrical Integrated Circuits (EIC) well is the key direction of current research.
Currently, the packaging modes of the photoelectric chip mainly include the following three categories: two-dimensional planar integration, 2.5-dimensional integration, and 3-dimensional stacked integration. As shown in fig. 1, the optical chip (PIC) 110 and the electrical chip (EIC) 130 are directly interconnected by using leads, and two-dimensional integration is implemented by COB packaging technology, which is easy to implement, but the high-speed signal interconnection between the PIC and the EIC is relatively long, the occupied area is relatively large, and the I/O number is severely limited. As shown in fig. 2 to 3, 2.5 and 3-dimensional integration of the optical chip 110 and the electrical chip 130 can achieve higher density package integration, wherein the 3-dimensional integration shown realizes vertical electrical interconnection of the optical chip 110 and the electrical chip 130 through the silicon interposer 120, more chips can be integrated per unit area, and the I/O number is further increased.
For multi-channel optical transceiver module applications, high density interconnection of optical chips to electrical chips is required, and thus a greater number of electrical chips per unit area needs to be accommodated, as well as higher I/O density. The existing three-dimensional photoelectric integration scheme presents the following problems in the application of an optical transceiver module: firstly, the optical chip and the electric chip can realize vertical interconnection through a medium through hole TMV, but the medium through hole TMV is difficult to reach the diameter of a through hole below 50 mu m, the size of a bonding pad on the through hole is overlarge, and the requirements of multichannel signal and high-density interconnection under a limited area are difficult to be met: in the photoelectric integration scheme based on the silicon adapter plate, the optical chip and the electric chip are vertically interconnected through the TSV, and although the TSV can reach the diameter of a through hole below 50 mu m, the silicon adapter plate and the chip are electrically connected by a bump process, namely, bumps or micro bumps are required on the front surface and the back surface of the silicon adapter plate, so that the difficulty in implementation of the process is high and the reliability is high.

Detailed Description
Further advantages and effects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the disclosure of the present invention, which is described by the following specific examples.
Please refer to fig. 4 to fig. 16. It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. shown in the drawings are for illustration purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the invention to the extent that it can be practiced, since modifications, changes in the proportions, or otherwise, used in the practice of the invention, are not intended to be critical to the essential characteristics of the invention, but are intended to fall within the spirit and scope of the invention. Also, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "a" and the like are used in this specification for convenience of description, but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention, and the relative changes or modifications thereof are considered to be within the scope of the invention without any substantial technical changes.
The optical transceiver module includes an optical transmitter and an optical receiver through which a received optical signal can be converted into an electrical signal that can be processed by an Integrated Circuit (IC) including a transimpedance amplifier (TIA) and a driver chip. With the development of high-rate data communication technology, a larger number of electrical chips per unit area needs to be accommodated, and higher I/O density. Taking the application of a 16-channel optical transceiver module as an example, a suitable transimpedance amplifier chip often has a pad layout with a fine pitch, and a typical layout structure can be seen in fig. 4. The electrical chip is originally electrically interconnected with other chips by using a wire bonding mode, but the wire bonding mode limits the packaging density and the transmission rate, so that the requirement of high-speed electric signal transmission quality between the exchange chip and an optical engine (for realizing the photoelectric conversion function) cannot be met, namely the requirement of high-density interconnection between the electrical chip and the optical chip cannot be met.
As shown in fig. 5, a three-dimensional integrated optoelectric co-package typical structure is shown, in which the optical chip 10 and the electrical chip 30 are stacked on the upper and lower surfaces of the silicon interposer 220, such that the electrical chip 30 is vertically interconnected with the optical chip 10 through the silicon interposer 220, and a rewiring layer is further disposed on the surface of the silicon interposer 220 adjacent to the electrical chip 300 to redistribute the solder joint position of the silicon interposer 220 on one side of the electrical chip. As shown in fig. 5, bumps are disposed on both front and back sides of the silicon interposer, and the silicon interposer is electrically connected to the chips stacked on top of and below the silicon interposer through the bumps, and the bumps need to be landed on the pads of the chips to form electrical contacts, so the bumps generally have smaller dimensions than the pads of the chips, and as the chip dimensions scale down, the pad layout of some chips has a tendency to have reduced pitch and size, and bumps with smaller ball diameters and/or pitches need to be manufactured. As shown in the TIA chip in FIG. 4, the bump is manufactured on the bonding pad of the electrical chip, and according to the size and the space of the bonding pad, the bump with the spherical diameter of 50 μm/the pitch of 85 μm or smaller is adopted, which faces the problems of higher process implementation difficulty, high cost and the like. In addition, since the pads of the electrical chip are distributed around the chip, even if the required bumps are fabricated, underfilling (unrerfill) cannot be performed between the chips, which may face problems such as stress mismatch and reliability. Therefore, the three-dimensional packaging scheme of the photoelectric integration is applied to the multichannel optical transceiver module, and the packaging density is difficult to improve due to the increase of the pin density, and the problems of high implementation difficulty, reliability and the like of the bottom filling process are met.
Therefore, the inventor has long studied and proposed an improved structure of a three-dimensional package structure of high-density photoelectric integration and a manufacturing method thereof.
As shown in fig. 6, an embodiment of the present application provides a high-density optoelectronic integrated three-dimensional package structure, including: a package substrate 600, and an optical chip 10, a rewiring layer 20 and an electrical chip 30 sequentially stacked on the package substrate, the optical chip 10 including a photoelectric conversion element; the electrical chip 30 comprises a functional surface and is arranged to be in direct contact with the rewiring layer 20 with its functional surface, wherein the electrical chip 30 comprises a transimpedance amplifier chip 310, the electrical chip 30 being electrically interconnected with the optical chip 10 by metal lines in the rewiring layer to allow an output signal of the photoelectric conversion element to be transmitted to the transimpedance amplifier chip 310 via the metal lines in the rewiring layer.
Here, in the present invention, the electrical chip and the optical chip respectively have a surface provided with a bonding pad or bonding pad as a functional surface, for example, the transimpedance amplifier chip 310 includes a functional surface and a bonding pad located on the functional surface, and the optical chip 10 includes a functional surface and a bonding pad 450 located on the functional surface.
The rewiring layer 20 is further provided with an electrical connection component, the electrical connection component is arranged at intervals with the electrical chip 30 and is electrically coupled with the transimpedance amplifier chip 310 at least through a metal circuit in the rewiring layer, so as to lead out signals of the transimpedance amplifier chip, and a plastic sealing layer 330 is further arranged to cover the electrical connection component and the electrical chip.
In this embodiment, the transimpedance amplifier chip 310 is configured for multi-channel signal processing, and has a bonding pad layout with a center-to-center spacing of not more than 85 μm and a bonding pad disposed on a functional surface of the transimpedance amplifier chip, and the bonding pad of the transimpedance amplifier chip is directly contacted to the first main surface of the rewiring layer and electrically interconnected with the optical chip 10 through a metal line in the rewiring layer.
Compared with the three-dimensional photoelectric integrated typical structure based on the adapter plate, according to the technical scheme, the electric chip is in direct contact with the rewiring layer, particularly the transimpedance amplifier chip is in direct contact with the rewiring layer and is electrically interconnected with the optical chip through the rewiring layer, so that micro bumps below the electric chip are omitted, the transmission path of high-frequency transmission signals is shortened, transmission loss is reduced, signal attenuation is reduced, underfilling after bump connection and reliability problems caused by the underfilling are avoided, and the packaging height can be reduced.
In one implementation, as shown in fig. 6, the electrical connection component includes a silicon bridge chip 320, where the silicon bridge chip 320 and the plurality of electrical chips 301, 302, 303, 304 are arranged on the first main surface of the rewiring layer in parallel, and the electrical chips include a transimpedance amplifier chip, where a fine pitch pad of the transimpedance amplifier chip fans out an I/O terminal via the rewiring layer, and one end of the silicon bridge chip 320 is electrically contacted to the first main surface of the rewiring layer, so as to realize signal extraction of the electrical chips, thereby not only meeting an external wiring requirement, but also improving a packaging density.
Fig. 7A shows a microscopic image of a silicon bridge chip used in the high-density optoelectronic integrated three-dimensional package structure of the present invention, in which conductive vias (TSVs) are provided vertically through and filled with metal. As an example, the silicon bridge chip 320 includes a conductive via and a contact pad bonded to one end of the conductive via, the contact pad of the silicon bridge chip directly contacts the rewiring layer 20 and is electrically coupled with the transimpedance amplifier chip 310 through a metal line in the rewiring layer, and the silicon bridge chip 320 is electrically coupled with the package substrate 600 through wire bonding to realize signal extraction of the transimpedance amplifier chip 310.
For example, as shown in fig. 8A, a silicon bridge chip 320 is configured with a plurality of conductive vias allowing a multi-channel signal of a transimpedance amplifier chip to be outputted to the outside in parallel, the height of the silicon bridge chip is larger than the height of the electrical chip so that the top of the silicon bridge chip is exposed, and the silicon bridge chip is electrically connected to the package substrate 600 by wire bonding for realizing signal extraction of the transimpedance amplifier chip.
Here, the embodiment of the present invention exemplifies a three-dimensional package structure of high-density optoelectronic integration with the number of transimpedance amplifier chips being 4, but the kind of the electrical chips and the number thereof to which the present invention is applied are not meant to be limited thereto.
As an example, the top of the silicon bridge chip 320 is also provided with a wire bonding location electrically connected to the package substrate 600 by, for example, gold wire leads, and the transimpedance amplifier chip leads the output signal to the wire bonding location of the silicon bridge chip 320 through the lateral channel of the rewiring layer 20.
Further, the silicon bridge chip 320 is further configured to supply power to the transimpedance amplifier chip, and as shown in fig. 8A, a portion of the dc signal between the power signal and the ground of the transimpedance amplifier chip may also be led to the top of the silicon bridge chip 320, and connected to the transimpedance amplifier chip through the conductive via of the silicon bridge chip and the metal line in the rewiring layer.
Fig. 7B provides exemplary structural parameters of a silicon bridge chip used in the high-density optoelectronically integrated three-dimensional package of the present invention, the silicon bridge chip 320 and the electrical chip 30 being in electrical contact with the first major face of the rewiring layer, the silicon bridge chip having a height greater than the electrical chip so that the top of the silicon bridge chip is exposed. The TSV diameter and the pitch of the silicon bridge chip may be adjusted according to the number of channels and the package size, and are not particularly limited herein.
As shown in fig. 8B, compared with the conventional silicon interposer, through the arrangement of the silicon bridge chip, the TSV with smaller size allows the wiring required by the multichannel signal to be correspondingly arranged under the limited area, so that the pitch of the contact PADs (PAD) of the silicon bridge chip is reduced, for example, the pitch of the contact PADs shown in fig. 8B is reduced to 150 μm, thereby improving the working speed of the circuit and simultaneously meeting the wiring requirement of external interconnection.
In a specific example, the top of the electric chip is further provided with a heat dissipation structure 340, the heat dissipation structure 340 can perform top heat dissipation on the electric chip 30 to reduce heat conduction of the electric chip to the optical chip, and the height of the silicon bridge chip is greater than the sum of the heights of the electric chip and the heat dissipation structure.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the height of the silicon bridge chip may be flexibly determined according to the thickness of the electrical chip covered by the molding layer, so long as the top of the silicon bridge chip is exposed on the premise of ensuring that the periphery of the electrical chip is covered.
In another implementation, the electrical connection component comprises a metal conductive post having one end substantially flush or flush with the surface of the molding layer 330 and the other end in contact with a contact on the first major face of the rewiring layer.
In some embodiments, the optical chip 10 includes a functional surface and a wire bonding pad 460 on the functional surface thereof, and the wire bonding pad 460 is electrically connected to the package substrate 600 by wire bonding for receiving an external signal. In a specific example, the optical chip 10 further includes a photosensitive region and an optical coupler, through which the photosensitive region is optically coupled with the optical fiber 150 inserted from the side of the optical chip.
For example, the optical chip 10 includes photoelectric conversion elements each including a bonding pad on a functional surface thereof, a solder joint or solder layer is formed between the bonding pad and the solder bump 440, the transimpedance amplifier chip receives and processes multichannel signals in parallel via the rewiring layer, and transmits high-speed electrical signals to an external chip and/or system through an electrical connection part.
It should be noted that, although the external interconnection of the package structure is implemented based on the solder ball method, the present invention also covers other methods of implementing the external interconnection including metal bumps, solder bumps, and the like.
In order to verify the advantages of the implementation manner of the invention in terms of package size and transmission quality, the preferred manner of the high-density photoelectric integrated three-dimensional package structure is adopted to sequentially perform package height and transmission loss simulation tests, and the comparison example of the invention is adopted to perform package height tests as a comparison, the obtained package height test results are respectively marked in fig. 6 and 15, the transmission characteristic simulation test of the electrical channel of the transimpedance amplifier chip and the transmission loss result thereof are shown in fig. 16 according to the preferred manner of the invention, wherein the transmission path of the differential signal is transmitted to a wire bonding position along the conductive through hole of the silicon bridge chip along the TIA chip and the metal route in the rewiring layer, the simulation result based on the differential signal shows that the transmission loss of the simulation test result differential signal is less than 0.71dB at 25 GHz. The whole packaging structure can realize high-density photoelectric integration only through a layer of mature bump technology, reduces the packaging height, reduces signal attenuation, and is beneficial to high-speed electric signal transmission in the light receiving module.
The embodiment also provides an optical transceiver module, which has the high-density photoelectric integrated three-dimensional packaging structure with the scheme.
