Description

Wafer-level heterogeneous integrated high-frequency system and manufacturing method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronics, and particularly relates to a wafer-level heterogeneous integrated high-frequency system and a manufacturing method thereof.
Background
With the continuous development of semiconductor chip manufacturing technology and electronic systems, the requirements of miniaturization, multifunction, high frequency and high speed operation, low cost and the like gradually become important targets of future communication systems, space and military system applications, high definition cameras and sensors, automotive radars and other applications.
Compound semiconductor materials have their unique advantages, and thus semiconductor devices made with the compounds also have their unique properties. To further improve the overall performance of the system, one specifically selects the best substrate to fabricate the device, depending on the desired device function. For example, silicon (Si) has been the dominant material in semiconductor technology, which has great advantages in terms of circuit function, integration, cost; the high speed of the second generation semiconductor material gallium arsenide (GaAs); indium phosphide (InP) is widely used in millimeter and submillimeter-wave bands because of its high frequency, high gain, and high power characteristics; and a third generation compound semiconductor material gallium nitride (GaN) with wide bandgap, high breakdown field strength and high power. The devices manufactured by each substrate are different in processing technology steps, and one substrate material cannot be processed by different processing technologies, so that semiconductor chips with different substrate materials are mostly used in a single system, and are combined into a complete system in a gold wire bonding mode. The system thus manufactured has a large area, which is not favorable for miniaturization.
Current advances in semiconductor manufacturing and packaging technology have allowed semiconductor active devices and passive devices with different functions to be integrated laterally and simultaneously on a single substrate, and the use of short-pitch interconnect bonding and related technologies has allowed higher performance and denser circuits than conventional printed circuit boards. The recent use of stacked multi-chip integration techniques has led to further improvements in circuit and system performance and expansion of operating frequencies to near 100GHz or so. However, in the stacked multi-chip integration technology, because various devices are laterally grown and due to processing precision problems, a distance of several micrometers to ten and several micrometers is left between the devices, and the occupied area and the volume of the system are increased. Meanwhile, with the further increase of the frequency, the internal loss and parasitic effect of the bonding wires among the substrate chips become more serious and are difficult to overcome. Heterogeneous integration techniques have therefore been proposed to address the problems of system miniaturization and high frequency.
The heterogeneous integration technology is to process circuit units and chips of various different substrate materials on one substrate simultaneously, and to manufacture a planar integrated circuit into a three-dimensional integrated circuit by means of multilayer stacking and vertical interconnection. The volume and the area of the traditional system are further reduced, and the system is miniaturized. Meanwhile, by adopting a heterogeneous integration technology, the signal transmission performance can be effectively improved, and the method has the advantages of high reliability, low cost and the like.
With the rapid development of heterogeneous integration technology, people are increasingly interested in utilizing millimeter wave and sub-millimeter wave frequency bands in the electromagnetic spectrum. Therefore, in order to realize the application of the system in millimeter wave and submillimeter wave frequency bands, the system is formed by adopting a three-dimensional heterogeneous integration technology and combining a silicon integrated radio frequency technology and devices made of high-frequency compound semiconductor materials such as indium phosphide, gallium nitride and the like, the occupied area of the radio frequency system can be effectively reduced, and the working frequency of the system is further improved.
In summary, the current stacked multi-chip employs an interconnection bonding method to laterally integrate chips of different substrate materials onto a single silicon substrate, so as to improve the complexity of the radio frequency system and reduce the occupied area of the system, thereby improving the overall performance of the system, but these methods all have the following disadvantages:
in the prior art, the manufacturing and processing precision of the current semiconductor chip is limited, and because a common method is unstable, a distance of several microns is often left between chips which are transversely integrated, so that the system integration level is reduced, and the system miniaturization development is not facilitated. Meanwhile, as the overall operating frequency of the system is further increased to millimeter wave and sub-millimeter wave frequency bands, interconnection blocks, bonding losses and parasitic effects among the plurality of substrate chips become severe, thereby reducing the overall performance of the system.
Thirdly, with the increase of the working frequency, the area of a single chip becomes very small, the geometric resolution, the dimensional tolerance and the like of interconnection in multi-chip integration are correspondingly reduced, and high requirements are put on the interconnection precision, so that the method is unstable, the relative position among the chips is often deviated, and the overall yield of the system is greatly reduced.
