The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description. It is to be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and are not to precise scale, which is merely for the purpose of facilitating and distinctly claiming the embodiments of the present invention. Similarly, if the method described herein comprises a series of steps, the order in which these steps are presented herein is not necessarily the only order in which these steps may be performed, and some of the described steps may be omitted and/or some other steps not described herein may be added to the method. Although elements in one drawing may be readily identified as such in other drawings, the present disclosure does not identify each element as being identical to each other in every drawing for clarity of description.
Example one
As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides an imaging module, including:
a moved element 30, the moved element 30 being a lens group, a lens sheet or an aperture;
a flexible connecting member 40, the connecting member 40 including a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the moved element 30;
a piezoelectric element 20 including a movable end and a fixed end, the movable end being connected to the second end; in the energized state of the piezoelectric element 20, the movable end is warped upward or downward with respect to the fixed end to move the moved element 30;
the supporting block 50 is used for supporting and fixing the piezoelectric element 20, and the fixed end is fixed on the supporting block 50;
and an external signal connection terminal electrically connected to the electrode of the piezoelectric element 20.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the piezoelectric element 20 includes a piezoelectric stack structure in which a support layer 24 is located on the support layer 24, the piezoelectric stack structure includes a piezoelectric film 23 and an insulating layer 25 that are stacked in sequence from bottom to top, a first electrode 21 and a second electrode 22 are respectively provided on upper and lower surfaces of the piezoelectric film 23, the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 are respectively connected to a first terminal 251 and a second terminal 252, and the first terminal 251 and the second terminal 252 are both located in the insulating layer 25.
In the present invention, the first lead 251 and the second lead 252 may be both located on the bottom surface of the piezoelectric element 20, that is, in the support layer 24, or the first lead 251 and the second lead 252 may be located on the top surface and the bottom surface of the piezoelectric element 20, respectively, which is not limited in the present invention. The piezoelectric element 20 is not limited to an integral structure having the first and second terminals, but may be a structure in which the first and second terminals are not formed, that is, the piezoelectric element 20 includes a support layer 24, a piezoelectric film 23, an insulating layer 25, and first and second electrodes 21 and 22 on upper and lower surfaces of the piezoelectric film 23, and the external signal connection terminal needs to be connected to the first and second electrodes 21 and 22 by additionally manufacturing a conductive plug.
Further, as shown in fig. 2, the first terminal 251 and the second terminal 252 are both located on the top surface of the piezoelectric element 20 and serve as the external signal connection terminals. The first lead-out terminal 251 and the second lead-out terminal 252 are electrically connected to the circuit board 10 by a lead wire 76, respectively, so that the circuit board 10 can apply a voltage to the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 of the piezoelectric element 20 to generate a voltage difference between the upper surface and the lower surface of the piezoelectric film 23, thereby causing the piezoelectric film 23 to contract, and since the support layer 24 cannot stretch, the entire piezoelectric element 20 may be warped upwards or downwards when energized (the warping direction, the warping degree depends on the voltage applied to the upper surface and the lower surface of the piezoelectric film 23). The piezoelectric film 23 is made of a piezoelectric material that can be deformed when energized, such as quartz crystal, aluminum nitride, zinc oxide, lead zirconate titanate, barium titanate, lithium gallate, lithium germanate, or titanium germanate.
It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to directly connecting the first and second terminals 251 and 252 to the circuit board 10 by means of the leads 76, but an electrical connection terminal may be provided on the top surface of the supporting block 50, the first and second terminals 251 and 252 and the electrical connection terminal are electrically connected by means of leads, and then the electrical connection terminal on the top surface of the supporting block 50 and the circuit board 10 are electrically connected by means of another interconnection structure (e.g., a lead or a conductive plug), so that the length of the leads 76 can be shortened.
As shown in fig. 3a, the upper surface of the movable end of the piezoelectric element 20 is connected to the moved element 30 through a flexible connecting member 40. The connecting member 40 includes: a first portion 41, a second portion 42, and a middle portion between the first portion 41 and the second portion 42, wherein the first end is at least a portion of the first portion 41, the second portion 42 is a portion of the second end, the middle portion 43 is a horizontal strip structure, and the first portion 41 and the second portion 42 further have a vertical beam, and the first end and the second end are connected to the middle portion 43 through the vertical beam. The width and thickness of the middle portion 43 satisfy predetermined values, so that the middle portion 43 has flexibility, and the middle portion 43 can be deformed when the first end and the second end are subjected to different pulling or pushing forces.
It will be understood that the values of the width and thickness of the intermediate portion 43 are related to the material of the intermediate portion 43, and that, when a different material is chosen for the intermediate portion 43, the values will vary accordingly, as long as flexibility of the intermediate portion 43 is ensured.
In the present invention, the middle portion 43 is not limited to a strip-shaped structure, but may also be an arc shape, a wave shape, etc.; the first and second portions 41 and 42 are not limited to the connection of the middle portion 43 with the vertical beams, and the invention is not limited thereto. Further, the first and second portions 41 and 42 may also have flexibility, so that the connecting member 40 has flexibility as a whole, and the deformation capability of the connecting member 40 may be increased.
As shown in fig. 3b and 3c, the connecting member 40 is not limited to be a separate structure from the piezoelectric element 20, and the connecting member 40 and the piezoelectric element 20 may be an integral structure, that is, the connecting member 40 and the piezoelectric element 20 are made of the same material, are located at the same height, and are left and right parts of the same structure, and are separated by an insulating structure, so that the connecting member 40 is not affected when a voltage is applied to the electrodes of the piezoelectric element 20.
It should be understood that the connecting member 40 and the piezoelectric element 20 may be located at different heights when they are a unitary structure, and the invention is not limited thereto.
As shown in fig. 4, when the piezoelectric element 20 is powered on, the fixed end of the piezoelectric element 20 disposed on the supporting block 50 is fixed, and the movable end is warped upwards or downwards, so that the moved element 30 can be raised or lowered integrally, thereby changing the vertical position of the moved element 30 and realizing optical auto-focusing.
As shown in fig. 5, after the autofocus is completed, when necessary, the voltage applied to the piezoelectric element 20 on the side of the moved element 30 may be changed, so as to tilt the imaging sensor element 30, thereby changing the angle of the moved element 30, and correcting the optical warping angle of the moved element 30, thereby achieving optical anti-shake.
The piezoelectric element 20 and the moved element 30 are flexibly connected through the connecting member 40, so that the risk of deformation of the moved element 30 due to an external force or delamination from the piezoelectric element 20 is reduced (if the movable end of the piezoelectric element 20 is directly connected to the moved element 30, when the movable end of the piezoelectric element 20 is warped, if the connection between the piezoelectric element 20 and the moved element 30 is not firm, there is a risk of delamination, and if the connection is too firm, there is a risk of deformation of the moved element 30).
Referring to fig. 1, the edge of the moved element 30 is connected to the movable end of the piezoelectric element 20, so that the piezoelectric element 20 can control the movement of the moved element 30 more easily, and the movement of the moved element 30 is more stable. In the present invention, the movable end of the piezoelectric element 20 is not limited to be located at the edge of the moved element 30, and may be connected to the center or the center-to-edge region of the moved element 30.
The supporting block 50 is connected with the fixed end of the piezoelectric element 20 by adhesive or through a dry film; the movable end of the piezoelectric element 20 is connected with the connecting piece 40 by adhesive or through a dry film; the connecting member 40 is bonded to the moved member 30 by an adhesive or by a dry film.
Referring to fig. 1, the moved element 30 is, for example, a square, the piezoelectric elements 20 are a pair, a connecting line between the pair of piezoelectric elements 20 is used as a rotation axis, and the moved element 30 can rotate along the rotation axis to change the inclination angle in one direction. Referring to fig. 6, the moved element 30 is, for example, square, two pairs of the piezoelectric elements 20 are distributed on four sides of the moved element 30, a connecting line between each pair of the piezoelectric elements 20 is used as a rotation axis, and the total of two rotation axes is two, and the moved element 30 can rotate along the two rotation axes to change the inclination angles in two directions.
As shown in fig. 7, the moved element 30 is, for example, circular, the piezoelectric elements 20 are in three pairs, the three pairs of piezoelectric elements 20 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction, the connecting line between each pair of piezoelectric elements 20 is used as a rotation axis, the total of three rotation axes are provided, and the moved element 30 can rotate along the three rotation axes to change the inclination angles in three directions. Of course, the piezoelectric elements 20 may also be four pairs, five pairs or six pairs, each pair of piezoelectric elements 20 is not limited to be symmetrically arranged along the center of the moved element 30, and may also be asymmetrically arranged, the more the number of pairs of piezoelectric elements 20, the more the rotation axis of the moved element 30 may be increased, so as to implement multi-dimensional rotation, the moved element 30 is also not limited to be square or circular, and may also be in other shapes, and the present invention is not limited.
It is understood that the paired piezoelectric elements 20 are beneficial to control the movement of the moved element 30, and in fact, the piezoelectric elements 20 may also be unpaired, for example, three piezoelectric elements 20 are uniformly distributed along the circumference of the moved element 30, and the embodiment is not illustrated.
As shown in fig. 8, the moved element 30 is, for example, square, and two opposite sides of the moved element 30 are connected to two piezoelectric elements 20, so that the two piezoelectric elements 20 are synchronously warped upwards or downwards (and the warping amplitudes are the same), so that the two piezoelectric elements 20 together support one side of the moved element 30, which can be applied to the case where the piezoelectric elements 20 are small in size and the moved element 30 is large in size, or the case where the moved element 30 is large in mass. In the present invention, the two opposite sides of the moved element 30 are not limited to the connection of two piezoelectric elements 20, and may be connected to three, four, five, or the like.
Further, with reference to fig. 1, the piezoelectric element 20 and the moved element 30 are located on opposite sides of the connecting member 40 in the thickness direction. As shown in fig. 9, the piezoelectric element 20 and the moved element 30 are located on the same side of the connecting member 40 in the thickness direction.
As shown in fig. 1, a pair of piezoelectric elements 20 are connected to the lower surface of the moved element 30, and as shown in fig. 10, a pair of piezoelectric elements 20 are connected to the upper surface of the moved element 30; as shown in fig. 11, one of a pair of piezoelectric elements 20 is connected to the upper surface of the moved element 30 and the other is connected to the lower surface of the moved element 30, and at this time, the heights of the supporting blocks 50 supporting the two piezoelectric elements 20 are different, but it should be understood that, when the piezoelectric elements 20 and the moved element 30 are located on the same side of the connecting member 40 (one is located on the upper side and one is located on the lower side), even though the two piezoelectric elements 20 are connected to the upper and lower surfaces of the moved element 30, respectively, the heights of the supporting blocks 50 may be the same, that is, in order to support the piezoelectric elements 20, the heights of the supporting blocks 50 may be adjusted according to the positions of the piezoelectric elements 20.
As shown in fig. 12 and 13, the piezoelectric element 20 has a pair, and two piezoelectric elements 20 of the pair of piezoelectric elements 20 are arranged to overlap. That is, the movable end of the piezoelectric element 20 is selectively connected to the side of the moved element 30 that is farther away (each piezoelectric element 20 is used to move the opposite side of the moved element 30), so that the length of the piezoelectric element 20 can be increased, and the movable end can be easily lifted even when the mass of the moved element 30 is large.
Further, as shown in fig. 14, the piezoelectric elements 20 are a pair, and the supporting block 50 corresponding to a pair of piezoelectric elements 20 is located in a space below the moved element 30. In this embodiment, the supporting block 50 and the fixed positions of the supporting block 50 and the piezoelectric element 20 are located right below the moved element 30, so that the fixed end of the piezoelectric element 20 is closer to the center of the moved element 30 than the movable end. Of course, the supporting fence 50 is not limited to be completely located under the moved element 30, but may also be partially located under the moved element 30, so that the supporting block 50 may be completely or partially covered by the moved element 30, the area occupied by the supporting block 50 may be saved, the area of the whole imaging module may be reduced, and the size reduction may be facilitated.
In the present invention, the piezoelectric element 20 is integrally located on the supporting block 50, and the movable end of the piezoelectric element extends out of the supporting block 50 to form a cantilever structure, which can be applied to the occasion that the moved element 30 needs to be lifted up or down. The piezoelectric element 20 may also be integrally located on the supporting block 50, and the movable end does not extend out of the supporting block 50, forming a solid structure, which may be used in the case of lifting only the moved element 30.
Further, the material of the supporting block 50 is a dielectric material, which may be annular and disposed around the moved element 30, and may better support the piezoelectric element 20; alternatively, the support block 50 includes a plurality of sub-support blocks (not shown) distributed along the circumferential direction, and the plurality of sub-support blocks are spaced apart from or in contact with each other, so that material and weight can be saved. In the present invention, the supporting block 50 may not be annular, for example, only located on two sides or four sides of the moved element 30.
In the present invention, the first lead-out terminal 251 and the second lead-out terminal 252 are not limited to be the external signal connection terminals. For example, when the first lead-out terminal 251 and the second lead-out terminal 252 are both located on the bottom surface of the piezoelectric element 20, the third electrical connection terminal and the fourth electrical connection terminal may be located on the bottom surface of the supporting block 50 and directly face the piezoelectric element 20, and the first lead-out terminal 251 and the second lead-out terminal 252 are electrically connected to the third electrical connection terminal and the fourth electrical connection terminal by using a conductive plug. When the first lead-out terminal 251 and the second lead-out terminal 252 are respectively located on the top surface and the bottom surface of the piezoelectric element 20, the third electrical connection terminal is located on the bottom surface of the supporting block 50 and faces the piezoelectric element 20, a conductive plug is used to electrically connect the lead-out terminal (for example, the second lead-out terminal 252) located on the bottom surface with the fourth electrical connection terminal, and the first lead-out terminal 251 is used as the third electrical connection terminal.
It is to be understood that when the third and fourth electrical connection terminals are not directly facing the piezoelectric element 20, the third and fourth electrical connection terminals may also be electrically connected to the first and second terminals 251 and 252 using rewiring and conductive plugs.

Compared with the method of directly electrically connecting the second electrical connection end 72 of the imaging sensor element and the circuit board 10 by using a lead wire, the length of the flexible electrical guide 73 in this embodiment can be shorter (the closer the first electrical connection end 71 is to the imaging sensor element, the shorter the length of the flexible electrical guide 73), and the movable element 30 does not pull the flexible electrical guide 73 when moving up or down. In the present invention, the first electrical connection end 71 is not limited to be located on the top surface of the piezoelectric element 20, for example, when the supporting block 50 includes a first layer supporting block 51 and a second layer supporting block 52 stacked in sequence from bottom to top, and the fixed end of the piezoelectric element 20 is fixed between the first layer supporting block 51 and the second layer supporting block 52, the first electrical connection end 71 may be located on the top of the supporting block 50 and electrically connected to the circuit board by a lead.

s13: providing a piezoelectric element, a flexible connecting piece and a moved element, wherein a fixed end of the piezoelectric element is combined with the bottom surface of the first groove, a first end of the connecting piece is combined with a movable end of the piezoelectric element, and the moved element is combined with a second end of the connecting piece;
s14: forming an external signal connection terminal electrically connected to an electrode in the piezoelectric element;

Specifically, please refer to fig. 24-40, which are schematic views of a semiconductor structure formed by the method for forming an imaging module according to the present embodiment, and the method for forming an imaging module according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to fig. 24-40.

Continuing to refer to fig. 24, step S12 is performed to etch the first dielectric layer 200 to form a first recess 210. The transverse length and depth of the first groove 210 may be the same as the transverse length and thickness of the piezoelectric element so as to accommodate the piezoelectric element, and the transverse length of the first groove 210 may be greater than the transverse length of the piezoelectric element.
As shown in fig. 25, the first dielectric layer 200 is continuously etched down along the bottom of the first groove 210 and the etching is stopped after the first substrate 110 is exposed, so as to form a second groove 220 in the first dielectric layer 200. The second groove 220 is located at the bottom of the first groove 210 and is communicated with the first groove 210, and the bottom of the second groove 220 exposes the first substrate 110.
As shown in fig. 26, the first groove 210 and the second groove 220 are both annular in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the first substrate 110. The second groove 220 is communicated with the first groove 210 and penetrates through the first dielectric layer 200, so that the first dielectric layer 200 has been split into two parts, namely, a first bump 230 and a second bump 240 surrounding the first bump 230. Of course, if only one pair of piezoelectric elements is required, the shape of the first groove 210 may not be circular, such as two straight grooves.
As shown in fig. 27, step S13 is performed to provide a piezoelectric element 20, where the piezoelectric element 20 has a first terminal and a second terminal on the top surface thereof, and two piezoelectric elements 20 are symmetrically disposed in the first recess 210 and are used to combine the fixed end of the piezoelectric element 20 with the second bump 240.
As shown in fig. 28, two connectors 40 are provided, the two connectors 40 are respectively placed on the first protrusion 230 and the piezoelectric element 20, and the second end of the connector 40 is coupled to the movable end of the piezoelectric element 20.
Then, as shown in fig. 30, a moved member 30 is provided, and an edge of the moved member 30 is combined with the first end of the connecting member 40.
Alternatively, as shown in fig. 29, after the fixed end of the piezoelectric element 20 is coupled to the second protrusion 240, the moved element 30 is coupled to the first end of the connecting member 40, and then the moved element 30 is moved above the first protrusion 230 together with the connecting member 40.
Then, as shown in fig. 30, the second end of the connecting member 40 is combined with the movable end of the piezoelectric element 20.
Of course, if the piezoelectric element 20 and the connecting member 40 are of an integral structure, it is only necessary to combine the edge of the moved element 30 and the first end of the connecting member 40 after the fixed end of the piezoelectric element 20 is combined with the second protrusion 240.
The combination of the supporting block and the fixed end of the piezoelectric element, the combination of the movable end of the piezoelectric element and the connecting member, and the combination of the connecting member and the moved element are all combined by using an adhesive, but not limited thereto, and they may all be combined by using a dry film, or partially combined by using an adhesive, and partially combined by using a dry film.
As shown in fig. 31, steps S14 and S15 are performed to debond the first dielectric layer 200 and the first substrate 110 to separate the first dielectric layer 200 and the first substrate 110. After the first dielectric layer 200 is separated from the first substrate 110, a suction cup or a UV film with a steel ring may be attached to the upper surface of the moved element 30, and then upwardly applied, since the moved element 30 is coupled to the piezoelectric element 20 through the connection member 40, the piezoelectric element 20 is combined with the second bump 240, and the first bump 230 is not connected with any component (has a supporting function), when the moved element 30 is forced to lift upward, the moved element 30, the connecting member 40, the piezoelectric element 20 and the second protrusion 240 move upward in synchronization, thereby peeling the first substrate 110 from the first bump 230, the second bump 240 attached to the piezoelectric element 20 may serve as a supporting block for supporting the piezoelectric element 20, the first and second terminals of the top surface of the piezoelectric element 20 serve as the external signal connection terminals.
The present invention is not limited to the imaging module in which the first and second terminals of the piezoelectric element 20 are formed on the top surface thereof, and when the first and second terminals of the piezoelectric element 20 are formed on the bottom surface thereof, as shown in fig. 32, it is only necessary to form two conductive plugs 63 in the second bump 240 before the piezoelectric element 20 is placed in the first groove, then electrically connect the first and second terminals of the piezoelectric element 20 to one of the conductive plugs 63, and then form third and fourth electrical connection terminals at the bottom of the second bump 240, and electrically connect the third and fourth electrical connection terminals to one of the conductive plugs 63. When the first lead-out end and the second lead-out end of the piezoelectric element 20 are respectively located on the top surface and the bottom surface thereof, before the piezoelectric element 20 is placed in the first groove, it is necessary to form a conductive plug 63 in the second bump 240, then electrically connect the second lead-out end of the piezoelectric element 20 with one of the conductive plugs 63, then form a fourth electrical connection end at the bottom of the second bump 240, electrically connect the third electrical connection end with the conductive plug 63, and use the first lead-out end as the fourth electrical connection end.
It is to be understood that the interconnection structure that leads out the first and second terminals is not limited to the conductive plug, but may be a combination of a rewiring and a conductive plug.
Further, as shown in fig. 33 to 40, this embodiment also shows a forming process of the connecting member 40.
As shown in fig. 33, a second substrate 120 is provided, and the second substrate 120 is etched to form at least one third groove 121 in the second substrate 120, wherein the number and size of the third grooves 121 are consistent with the number and size of the connectors 40 to be formed.
As shown in fig. 34, the connecting member 40 in this embodiment has a Z-shape, and the third groove 121 has a Z-shape.
As shown in fig. 35, a connector material layer 400 is formed on the second substrate 120, and the connector material layer 400 fills the third groove 121 and extends to cover the third groove 121. In this embodiment, the bonding process is used to form the connector material layer 400 on the second substrate 120, but not limited thereto.
As shown in fig. 36, the connector material layer 400 is peeled off from the second substrate 120, rotated by 180 degrees, and then placed on a temporary bonding substrate 130. In order to facilitate demolding, a pyrolytic film may be formed between the second substrate 120 and the connector material layer 400 in advance, then the temporary bonding substrate 130 forms a pyrolytic film between the connector material layer 400, and after the second substrate 120 and the connector material layer 400 are unbonded, the connector material layer 400 may be bonded on the temporary bonding substrate 130 by rotating 180 degrees.
It should be understood that the bonding layers formed between the second substrate 120 and the connector material layer 400 and between the temporary bonding substrate 130 and the connector material layer 400 are not limited to the pyrolytic film, but may be other bonding layers.
As shown in fig. 37 to 38, the connector material layer 400 is etched to remove the excess connector material layer 400, so that the remaining connector material layer 400 constitutes the connector 40, and the shape of the connector 40 is the same as that of the third recess 121 in fig. 34.
Finally, the temporary bonding substrate 130 is debonded from the connecting members 40 to obtain at least one connecting member 40, and then the connecting member 40 may be placed on the second bump 240 as shown in fig. 28.
Further, as shown in fig. 37, before the temporary bonding base 130 is unbonded to the connection member 40, the moved element 30 is bonded to the second end of the connection member 40, and then the temporary bonding base 130 is unbonded to the connection member 40. The moved element 30 and the connecting member 40 can be integrated by sucking the moved element 30 with a suction cup or a UV film with a band.
