Detailed Description
To make the objects, advantages and features of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions proposed by the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and are not to precise scale, which is provided for the purpose of facilitating and clearly illustrating embodiments of the present invention. Further, the term "and/or" herein means either or both.
Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the invention provides a method for manufacturing a surface acoustic wave filter device, including the following steps:
s1, providing a piezoelectric wafer and a carrier wafer, wherein the size of the piezoelectric wafer is smaller than that of the carrier wafer;
s2, dividing the piezoelectric wafer into a plurality of piezoelectric crystal grains, temporarily bonding each piezoelectric crystal grain to the carrier wafer, and taking the gap between the adjacent piezoelectric crystal grains as a cutting path;
s3, forming an insulating layer, wherein the insulating layer fills the cutting path and exposes the top surface of each piezoelectric crystal grain;
s4, forming an interdigital electrode and a first pad on the top surface of each piezoelectric crystal grain, wherein the interdigital electrode and the first pad are exposed out of the surface of the insulating layer in the cutting channel;
s5, providing a packaging substrate which is not smaller than the carrier wafer in size and is provided with a plurality of second bonding pads, assembling the carrier wafer with the piezoelectric crystal grains on the packaging substrate, and aligning and electrically connecting each first bonding pad with the corresponding second bonding pad;
and S6, peeling the carrier wafer, and cutting the packaging substrate and the insulating layer along each cutting path to obtain a plurality of surface acoustic wave filter devices with corresponding piezoelectric crystal grains and packaging substrates.
Referring to fig. 2 to 4, in step S1, a 4 inch or 6 inch piezoelectric wafer 10' and an 8 inch or 12 inch carrier wafer 20 may be provided, i.e., the size of the piezoelectric wafer 10 is smaller than that of the silicon wafer 20. Wherein, the material of the piezoelectric wafer 10 'includes at least one of lithium niobate, lithium tantalate, aluminum nitride, barium titanate, lead zirconate titanate, and zinc oxide, and the piezoelectric wafer 10' is also often referred to as a piezoelectric chip. The material of the carrier wafer 20 includes at least one of a semiconductor (e.g., silicon, germanium, gallium arsenide, silicon on insulator, etc.), glass, quartz, silicon carbide, alumina, epoxy, polyurethane. The carrier wafer 20 is a large-sized wafer relative to the piezoelectric wafer 10, the size of the carrier wafer 20 meets the wafer processing size requirement of a large-sized wafer processing machine, and the size of the piezoelectric wafer 10' is smaller than the carrier wafer 20 and does not meet the wafer processing size requirement of the large-sized wafer processing machine.
Referring to fig. 2 to 4, in step S2, first, a wafer dicing process may be used to divide the piezoelectric wafer 10' into a plurality of piezoelectric crystal grains 10, where the size and shape of the piezoelectric crystal grains 10 are substantially the same, and the dividing process specifically includes: firstly, a blue film (not shown) is pasted on the bottom surface of the piezoelectric wafer 10, then the piezoelectric wafer 10 is cut from the top surface of the piezoelectric wafer 10 to the top surface of the blue film, and then the blue film is removed to obtain a plurality of piezoelectric crystal grains 10a, wherein the blue film can better fix the piezoelectric wafer 10 and fix the cut piezoelectric crystal grains 10a, so that the cut piezoelectric crystal grains 10a are prevented from flying out of a machine, and the protection and collection of the piezoelectric crystal grains 10a are facilitated. Then, each piezoelectric die 10 may be temporarily bonded to the carrier wafer 20 by at least one of coating bonding glue, attaching a bonding film, and depositing a laser release layer (not shown) on the carrier wafer 20 on a wafer bonding machine corresponding to the carrier wafer 20. For example, each piezoelectric die 10 is temporarily bonded to the carrier wafer 20 through a temporary bonding layer (i.e., an adhesive bonding film or a bonding glue layer) 30, so as to realize a chip to wafer (chip to wafer) packaging manner. The individual piezoelectric crystal grains 10 may be arranged in an array at equal intervals, and the gaps between adjacent piezoelectric crystal grains 10 serve as cutting streets 10a, and the cutting streets 10a are used for subsequently realizing dicing between the piezoelectric crystal grains (i.e., chip to chip). The wafer bonding structure formed after each piezoelectric die 10 is temporarily bonded to the carrier wafer 20 may enter a corresponding large-sized wafer processing machine for performing corresponding film deposition, photolithography, etching, and the like, as in the case of a large-sized (e.g., 8 inch) wafer.
Referring to fig. 5A, in step S3, a corresponding film forming process such as vapor deposition or spin coating is performed on a large-sized wafer processing machine (e.g., a vapor deposition apparatus, an oxidation furnace, or a film coating machine) corresponding to the carrier wafer 20 to cover the insulating layer 11 on the piezoelectric crystal grains 10 and the carrier wafer 20, wherein the insulating layer 11 at least fills the scribe lines 10 a. Then, the top surface of the insulating layer 11 is ground by a Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) process to expose the top surface of each piezoelectric crystal grain 10a, and in other embodiments of the present invention, the insulating layer 11 may be etched back by an etch-back process to expose the top surface of each piezoelectric crystal grain 10. The material of the insulating layer 11 includes at least one of a plastic package material, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, silicate glass (e.g., borosilicate glass BSG, phosphosilicate glass PSG, borophosphosilicate glass BPSG, undoped silicate glass USG, etc.), a low-K dielectric (dielectric constant K is less than 4), and polyimide. On one hand, the insulating layer 11 can enhance the firmness of the piezoelectric crystal grain 10 and prevent the piezoelectric crystal grain 10 from moving in the subsequent process when being fixed only by the temporary bonding layer 30, so that the reliability of the subsequent process is improved; on the other hand, the insulating layer 11 can also protect the side wall of the piezoelectric crystal grain 10, and prevent the piezoelectric crystal grain 10 from being damaged by the side wall of the piezoelectric crystal grain 10 in the subsequent process, which affects the yield and performance of the manufactured surface acoustic wave filter device. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, if the subsequent processes do not have the above-mentioned problems, the formation of the insulating layer 11 may be omitted.
Referring to fig. 5A, in step S4, a metal layer (not shown) may be covered on the insulating layer 11 and each piezoelectric crystal grain 10 by vacuum evaporation, sputtering deposition, or other processes on a large-sized wafer processing machine corresponding to the size of the carrier wafer 20, wherein the metal layer includes at least one of tungsten, silver, zirconium, molybdenum, platinum (i.e., platinum), ruthenium, iridium, titanium, tungsten, copper, chromium, hafnium, and aluminum. Then, the metal layer (not shown) is patterned by a process of photolithography in combination with dry etching to form the interdigital electrode 12b and the first pad 12a, and the interdigital electrode 12b and the first pad 12a each expose a top surface of the insulating layer 11 in the scribe line 10 a. Wherein the first pads 12a are used for subsequently performing bump bonding with the package substrate. The interdigital electrode 12b is an electrode having a periodic pattern in its face, such as a finger or comb. The interdigital electrodes 12b are usually present in pairs, whereby an input electrical signal excites a surface acoustic wave by the piezoelectric effect of one interdigital electrode 12b and propagates to the other interdigital electrode 12b, the surface acoustic wave is converted into an electrical signal at the other interdigital electrode 12b for output due to the inverse piezoelectric effect, and a desired band-pass filter frequency response curve can be obtained by controlling the period and shape of the interdigital electrode 12b and selecting the parameters of the piezoelectric medium. In other embodiments of the present invention, the interdigital electrodes 12b and the first pads 12a may also be formed by a Lift-off process, in which a substrate (i.e., the insulating layer 11 and the individual piezoelectric dies 10) is first coated with glue and then subjected to photolithography, and then a metal thin film is prepared, where the photoresist is present, the metal thin film is formed on the photoresist, and where the photoresist is absent, the metal thin film is directly formed on the substrate. When the photoresist on the substrate is removed by using a solvent, unnecessary metal is removed in the solvent along with the dissolution of the photoresist, and the metal portion directly formed on the substrate remains to form a pattern, that is, the interdigital electrode 12b and the first pad 12 a.
With continued reference to fig. 5A, in order to subsequently realize bump bonding between the side of the carrier wafer 20 having the first pads 12a and the interdigital electrodes 12b and the side of the package substrate 40, balls may be first planted on the first pads 12a to form solder balls 13. The solder balls 13 may be tin solder balls, lead solder balls, tin-lead solder balls, silver solder balls, tin-silver-copper solder balls, or copper pillars.
Referring to fig. 5B, in step S5, first, a package substrate 40 having a size not smaller than the carrier wafer 20 and a plurality of second pads 41 is provided, where the package substrate 40 may be a High Temperature co-fired Ceramic (HTCC) substrate having the same size as the carrier wafer 20, and the molding process of the HTCC substrate includes: according to the design requirement of a heating circuit, heating resistance slurry for protecting at least one high-melting-point metal such as tungsten, molybdenum, manganese and the like is printed on 92-96% of alumina casting ceramic green bodies, and is subjected to multilayer overlapping under the action of 4-8% of sintering aids, and is co-fired into a whole at a high temperature of 1500-1600 ℃. Next, the carrier wafer 20 with the piezoelectric crystal grains 10 may be assembled on the package substrate 40 on a large-sized wafer processing machine (i.e., a wafer bonding machine) corresponding to the size of the carrier wafer 20, and each of the first pads 12a and the corresponding second pad 41 are aligned and bump-bonded through the solder balls 13. Step S5 is substantially a wafer to wafer (wafer to wafer) packaging process, in which the carrier wafer 20 with the piezoelectric die 10 is assembled on the package substrate 40, and the first pads 12a and the corresponding second pads 41 on the package substrate 40 are aligned and bump-bonded, so as to realize a wafer level packaging process with high integration and further reduce the packaging cost.
It should be noted that, in other embodiments of the present invention, before the carrier wafer 20 with the piezoelectric die 10 is assembled on the package substrate 40, the balls may be planted on the second pads 41 instead of the first pads 12 a; alternatively, balls are planted on both the first pad 12a and the second pad 41 to realize bump bonding between the first pad 12a and the second pad 41.
In step S6, referring to fig. 5B and 5C, the carrier wafer 20 may be peeled off from each piezoelectric die 10 by selecting a suitable wafer peeling method according to the temporary bonding manner in step S2, the peeling manners including thermal slide peeling, mechanical peeling, and laser peeling, and in some peeling manners, the temporary bonding layer 30 between the carrier wafer 20 and each piezoelectric die 10 is still remained on the surface of the piezoelectric die 10 after the carrier wafer 20 is removed for subsequent cutting of the scribe lines between the piezoelectric dies 10, so as to protect the piezoelectric dies 10. Then, referring to fig. 5D, the package substrate 40 and the insulating layer 11 may be cut along the cutting lines 10a from the piezoelectric die 10 side to obtain a plurality of surface acoustic wave filter devices 50 having the corresponding interdigital electrodes 12b, the piezoelectric die 10 and the package substrate 40.
In the above method for manufacturing the surface acoustic wave filter device, steps S3 to S6 are performed on the large-sized wafer processing machine corresponding to the carrier wafer 20 (i.e., the machine that can directly process the carrier wafer, including the photolithography machine, the etching machine, the CMP machine, and the deposition machine). Therefore, the manufacturing method of the surface acoustic wave filter device provided by the invention has the advantages that the small-size piezoelectric wafer is firstly divided into the plurality of piezoelectric crystal grains and is temporarily bonded to the large-size carrier wafer, the manufacturing process of the surface acoustic wave filter device can be completed on the large-size wafer processing machine table corresponding to the size of the carrier wafer, the manufacturing process of the surface acoustic wave filter device is compatible with the processing process of the large-size wafer, the problem that equipment is purchased again when the large-size wafer replaces the surface acoustic wave filter device in a factory is solved, and the cost is reduced. In addition, according to the method for manufacturing the surface filter device of the embodiment, since the cut piezoelectric crystal grains 10 can be arranged on the carrier wafer 20 with the maximum integration level, the utilization rates of the carrier wafer 20 and the package substrate 40 can be improved, the operation of trimming the carrier wafer 20 and the package substrate 40 is avoided, and the yield of the finally manufactured surface filter device can be further improved.
The manufacturing method of the surface acoustic wave filter device is not only suitable for processing the common surface acoustic wave filter device, but also suitable for processing the temperature compensation type surface acoustic wave filter TC-SAW device. Referring to fig. 1 to 4 and fig. 6A to 6E, another embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for manufacturing a temperature compensation type surface acoustic wave filter TC-SAW device, including the following steps:

S3, an insulating layer 11 is formed, the insulating layer 11 fills the scribe line 10a and exposes the top surface of each piezoelectric die 10, please refer to fig. 6A, the specific process of forming the insulating layer 11 is described with reference to step S3, and will not be described in detail herein.
S4, forming an interdigital electrode 12b and a first pad 12a on the top surface of each piezoelectric die 10, wherein the interdigital electrode 12b and the first pad 12a both expose the surface of the insulating layer 11 in the scribe line 10a, please refer to fig. 6A, and the specific forming process of the interdigital electrode 12b and the first pad 12a is described with reference to step S4 above, and will not be described in detail herein.

S5, providing a package substrate 40 having a plurality of second pads 41 and meeting the size requirement of the large-sized wafer processing machine, assembling the carrier wafer 20 having the piezoelectric die 10 on the package substrate 40, and aligning each of the first pads 12a and the corresponding second pads 41 and bump-bonding them through solder balls 13, as shown in fig. 6C. The specific process may refer to step S5 above, and will not be described in detail here.

However, the solution of forming the temperature compensation layer in the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
