In step S100, a carrier 10 is provided, and a plurality of to-be-integrated devices 20 are temporarily bonded to the carrier 10 at intervals, so as to form the structure shown in fig. 2.
The bearing part 10 is a plate-shaped structure, and the bearing part 10 is preferably a glass substrate, so that better hardness and flatness can be provided, and the failure rate of the integrated device can be reduced. In addition, since the bearing part 10 is removed in the subsequent steps, the bearing part made of glass is easy to peel off and has strong corrosion resistance, and the physical or chemical properties of the bearing part are not changed due to the subsequent contact with the cementing layer, so that the bearing part can be repeatedly used.

The shape of the carrying part 10 may be circular, rectangular, triangular or other shapes, and the invention does not limit the shape of the carrying part 10.
The bearing part 10 is formed with a glue layer 11, and the glue layer 11 is used for adhering and fixing the component 20 to be integrated on the bearing part 10. The glue layer 11 may be an organic material, and may be coated on the bearing portion 10 by spin coating, spraying, rolling, printing, vacuum lamination, or pressure lamination. The adhesive layer 11 is a temporary adhesive layer, and may be a thermoplastic or thermosetting organic material, or an inorganic material containing Cu, Ni, Cr, Co, or the like, and may be removed by heating, mechanical, chemical, laser, freezing, or the like.
These elements 20 to be integrated may be all chips, all passive devices, or a combination of chips and passive devices, which is selected according to the actual situation. The passive devices include but are not limited to capacitors, inductors, resistors, etc., and the chips may also be chips with different functions. The component 20 to be integrated includes a front surface and a back surface disposed corresponding to the front surface, the front surface of the component 20 to be integrated may be formed with a first pad 20 'for electrically connecting with an external circuit, when the component 20 to be integrated is fixed on the carrier 10, the front surface of the component 20 to be integrated faces a direction close to the carrier 10 (i.e., the first pad 20' is in contact with the carrier 10), and the back surface faces a direction away from the carrier 10.
The plurality of components 20 to be integrated may be distributed on the carrier 10 in an array, and the spacing distances between the components 20 to be integrated are the same. Of course, the distribution of the components 20 to be integrated can also be adjusted according to actual needs in specific implementation.
In step S200, please refer to fig. 2 again, a molding compound layer 30 is formed on the carrier portion 20, and the molding compound layer 30 covers the carrier portion 10 and the to-be-integrated component 20.
Specifically, the carrier 10 with the component 20 to be integrated fixed thereon is subjected to plastic molding and curing, so as to form the plastic molding layer 30. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, plastic packaging is performed by adopting a hot-press injection molding process. The molding compound layer 30 covers the carrier 10 (specifically, the glue layer 11 on the carrier 10) and the component 20 to be integrated at the same time. Further, the area of the molding layer 30 may be the same as the area of the load-bearing part 10, so as to cover the entire load-bearing part 10; the molding layer 30 may also have an area smaller than that of the carrying portion 10, so as to cover a part of the surface of the carrying portion 10, as shown in fig. 2, and the edge region of the carrying portion 10 is exposed.
The molding compound layer 30 includes thermosetting resin, which can soften or flow during the molding process, has plasticity, can be formed into a certain shape, and simultaneously undergoes a chemical reaction to be cross-linked and cured, the molding compound layer 30 may include at least one of thermosetting resin such as phenolic resin, urea-formaldehyde resin, melamine-formaldehyde resin, epoxy resin, unsaturated resin, polyurethane, polyimide, etc., wherein, the epoxy resin is preferably used as the molding compound layer, wherein the epoxy resin may be epoxy resin with or without filler, and various additives (for example, curing agent, modifier, release agent, thermal colorant, flame retardant, etc.), for example, phenolic resin is used as the curing agent, and solid particles (for example, silicon micropowder) are used as the filler.
In step S300, please refer to fig. 3 and fig. 4, the carrier 10 is removed, and one surface of the molding compound layer 30 away from the component 20 to be integrated is bonded to the first substrate 40.
First, as shown in fig. 3, the injection-molded components 20 to be integrated remain, the components 20 to be integrated are fixed in the molding layer 30, and the molding layer 30 exposes the front surface of the components 20 to be integrated and exposes the first liner 20'. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bearing part 10 can be removed by peeling, and the glue layer 11 is also removed. An appropriate removing method is selected according to the bonding method used, for example, when the material of the bonding layer 11 is an adhesive sheet film or a dry film, the bonding layer 11 may be denatured by high temperature or ultraviolet irradiation to lose its adhesiveness, so as to peel the carrier part 10.
Next, referring to fig. 4, a surface of the molding compound layer 30 away from the to-be-integrated component 20 is bonded to a first substrate 40 to expose the to-be-integrated component 20.
Specifically, a first substrate 40 is provided, the first substrate 40 is a monolithic wafer substrate, and the material of the first substrate 40 may be a silicon substrate, or may be a germanium, silicon germanium, gallium arsenide substrate or a silicon-on-insulator substrate. The first substrate may be selected as desired by those skilled in the art, and thus the type of the first substrate should not limit the scope of the present invention. The first substrate 40 in this embodiment is preferably a silicon substrate. The first substrate 40 may have a shape conforming to the carrier 10 so as to bond with the molding layer 30 formed on the carrier 10. The first substrate 40 is mainly used for supporting the molding layer 30 and the component 20 to be integrated, and no device structure needs to be formed thereon, and finally the first substrate 40 is removed.
Bonding of the molding layer 30 and the first substrate 40 may be achieved by any suitable method. In one example, the molding layer 30 and the first substrate 40 are bonded together by a fusion bonding process, preferably a low temperature fusion bonding process is used to avoid the failure of the device caused by the bonding process with too high temperature, wherein the temperature of the low temperature fusion bonding process may be lower than 400 ℃, for example, the temperature of the low temperature fusion bonding process is between 100 ℃ and 250 ℃, so that the molding layer 30 and/or the first substrate 40 are fused and bonded together.
In one example, the molding layer 30 and the first substrate 40 may also be bonded together by forming a bonding layer, such as: before bonding, a first bonding layer 41 is firstly formed on a side of the plastic package layer 30 away from the component to be integrated 20, that is, on a bonding surface of the plastic package layer 30, or a first bonding layer 41 is formed on a bonding surface of the first substrate 40, and then the bonding surface of the plastic package layer 30 and the bonding surface of the first substrate 40 are bonded together. The first bonding layer 41 includes, but is not limited to, an oxide layer, such as a silicon oxide layer. In the present embodiment, a silicon oxide layer is formed on the bonding surface of the first substrate 40 by thermally oxidizing the first substrate 40. In other embodiments, the silicon oxide layer may also be formed using a deposition process, or other processes known to those skilled in the art.
In one example, the molding layer 30 and the first substrate 40 may be bonded together by an adhesion process, such as bonding the molding layer and the first substrate together by an adhesive layer, which may be an organic film, which may include various organic film layers, such as a sticker film, a dry film, a photoresist, or the like. The thickness of the adhesive layer is set as required, and the number of the adhesive layers is not limited to one, and may be two or more. The two surfaces of the adhesive layer have adhesiveness, one surface is adhered to the surface of the molding layer 30, and the other surface is adhered to the surface of the first substrate 40, so as to fix the molding layer 30 on the first substrate 40, and realize the physical connection between the molding layer 30 and the first substrate 40.
In this embodiment, the bonding is a temporary bonding, that is, the plastic package layer 30 and the first substrate 40 are separated in a subsequent process step.
It can be understood that, in this step, the bearing portion 10 may be removed, and then the surface of the molding compound layer 30 away from the component 20 to be integrated is bonded to the first substrate 40, or the surface of the molding compound layer 30 away from the component 20 to be integrated is bonded to the first substrate 40, and then the bearing portion 10 is removed.

Next, the insulating layer 51 is etched, typically, a photoresist layer (not shown) is formed on the insulating layer 51, the photoresist layer is exposed and developed to form a patterned photoresist layer, and then the insulating layer 51 is etched by using the patterned photoresist layer as a mask to form an insulating layer opening exposing the to-be-integrated component 20, and preferably, the insulating layer opening exposes the first pad 20' on the front surface of the to-be-integrated component 20. Then, a conductive material layer is deposited on the insulating layer 51, the conductive material layer covers the insulating layer 51 and fills the insulating layer opening, and then the conductive material layer is etched until a part of the insulating layer 51 is exposed, so as to form a first wiring layer 50. The first wiring layer 50 fills the insulating layer opening and covers a portion of the insulating layer 51. And finally, removing the patterned photoresist layer. The first wiring layer 50 is connected to the element to be integrated 20 through the first pad 20'.
In step S500, please refer to fig. 6, the first substrate 40 formed with the first wiring layer 50 is bonded to the second substrate 60 formed with the device structure 61.
Specifically, in this step, first, a second substrate 60 is provided, and a plurality of device structures 61 are formed on the second substrate 60. The device structure 61 on the second substrate 60 is a device structure manufactured by providing a bare wafer and then designing according to a corresponding layout by using an integrated circuit manufacturing technology, that is, the second substrate 60 is a wafer on which device manufacturing is completed.

Next, a second bonding layer 52 is formed on the bonding surface of the first substrate 40, that is, on the insulating layer 51 and the first wiring layer 50, the second bonding layer 52 covers the insulating layer 51 and the first wiring layer 50, or the second bonding layer 52 is formed on the bonding surface of the second substrate 60, that is, on the side of the second substrate 60 on which the device structure 61 is formed, and then the first substrate 40 and the second substrate 60 are bonded. It should be noted that, this bonding is a permanent bonding, and after the insulating layer 51, the first wiring layer 50 and the second substrate 60 are bonded, they are not separated in the subsequent process steps.
In step S600, referring to fig. 7 and 8, a plurality of first vias 62 and a plurality of second vias 64 are formed on the second substrate 60, wherein the first vias 62 expose the device structures 61, and the second vias 64 expose the first wiring layer 50.
Preferably, referring to fig. 7, a side of the second substrate 60 away from the first substrate 40 is thinned, so that the thickness of the second substrate 60 is thinned, and difficulty of a subsequent etching process is reduced. The side of the second substrate 60 away from the first substrate 40 can be thinned to a desired thickness of the device by coarse grinding and fine grinding. Preferably, when the second substrate 60 is thinned, the thinning rate is reduced, for example, the thinning rate is reduced by half, when the predetermined distance is away from the device structure 61, and the predetermined distance is, for example, 5 μm. This is because, at the interface where the thickness of the second substrate is discontinuous, the rate drops to effectively reduce the micro-gaps, cracks and debris at the edge of the silicon wafer. And after the second substrate 60 is thinned to a preset thickness, wet etching can be carried out on the thinned second substrate 60, the stress of the thinned surface can be effectively released in the wet etching process, and the roughness of the surface of the second substrate 60 can be effectively improved.
Next, referring to fig. 8, the thinned surface of the second substrate 60 is etched to form a plurality of first through holes 62 and a plurality of second through holes 64.

Then, using the patterned photoresist layer as a mask, a portion of the second substrate 60 is etched to form a plurality of first vias 62 exposing the device structure 61 and a plurality of third vias 63 exposing the second bonding layer 52. In this embodiment, the first via 62 exposes the second pad 61 'on the device structure 61, that is, the second pad 61' and the second bonding layer 52 serve as an etching stop layer. Then, the second bonding layer 52 exposed therein is continuously etched until the first wiring layer 50 is exposed, and the first wiring layer 50 serves as an etching stop layer, so as to form the second via hole 64 in the third via hole 63, wherein the second via hole exposes the first wiring layer 50. The etching process in this implementation may be a wet etching process or a dry etching process, wherein a dry etching process is preferably used, and the dry etching includes but is not limited to: reactive Ion Etching (RIE), ion beam etching, plasma etching or laser cutting, followed by removal of the patterned photoresist layer, for example using ashing.

With this etching method, it is possible to achieve a good etching selectivity between the second substrate 60 and the second pad 61' and the second bonding layer 52, and to provide a via with a good profile.
Illustratively, in this embodiment, the second bonding layer 52 is etched using a reactive ion etching process, and the etching gas includes O2And Ar, wherein O2The flow rate of the gas is 50sccm to 200sccm, the flow rate of Ar is 60sccm to 90sccm, the pressure of the chamber is 15mTorr to 35mTorr, and the etching time is 400s to 800 s.
