Background
With the increasing development of semiconductor technology, a package structure having a high integration density is more and more important. For example, the 3D package structure can be used to realize mutual stacking between chips.
At present, in an existing silicon optical chip, an Electrical Integrated Chip (EIC) and an optical chip (PIC) adopt different wafer generation process, and chip-level interconnection (for example, wire bonding or flip interconnection) is adopted to realize connection between the electrical chip (EIC) and the optical chip (PIC), so as to form a three-dimensional interconnection structure.
In the three-dimensional packaging of the optical chip (PIC) and the electrical chip (EIC), in order to avoid warpage caused by thinning the optical chip (PIC) and thus cause dislocation or failure of the connection point of the optical chip (PIC) and the electrical chip (EIC), or in order to make the packaging of the optical chip (PIC) and the electrical chip (EIC) have higher strength, a plastic packaging layer is generally required to be formed on the surface of the optical chip (PIC). However, the optical chip (PIC) has an optical fiber coupling interface for inputting light, and directly plastic-encapsulating the surface of the PIC may cause damage to the optical fiber coupling interface, thereby causing a significant increase in insertion loss of the optical fiber coupling interface and affecting the practical use of the optoelectronic chip.

Fig. 3 is a schematic plan view of a first semiconductor chip according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 4 is a schematic top view of a package structure with a semiconductor chip according to an embodiment of the invention. The following describes an embodiment of the present invention in detail with reference to fig. 2A to 2C, fig. 3, and fig. 4.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the first semiconductor chip 102 is an optical chip (photonic integrated circuit chip, PIC) which uses photons as an information carrier for information processing and data transmission, and the second semiconductor chip 103 is an electrical chip (electronic integrated circuit chip, EIC) which uses electrons as an information carrier for information processing and data transmission, such as a silicon-based electrical chip, a germanium-based electrical chip, or a compound semiconductor electrical chip, and the integration of the optical chip and the electrical chip can be realized by stacking the first semiconductor chip 102 and the second semiconductor chip 103.
For example, referring to fig. 2A, a first carrier substrate 200 and a semiconductor wafer 100 having a plurality of first semiconductor chips 102 on the first carrier substrate 200 are provided, each first semiconductor chip 102 has a first surface 102A and a second surface 102b opposite to each other, and the second surface 102b is temporarily bonded to the first carrier substrate 200 through a bonding adhesive 201.
Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, a light coupling region 1024 and a non-light coupling region 1025 surrounding the light coupling region 1024 are disposed on the first surface 102a of the first semiconductor chip 102, a light coupling interface 104 is disposed in the light coupling region 1024, and light provided by an external light source can be input into the light coupling interface 104 through a Fiber Array (FA), for example, coupled into the first semiconductor chip 102 through a grating coupler in the light coupling interface 104. In other embodiments, other optical interconnection interfaces or devices for transmitting optical signals may be correspondingly disposed in the optical coupling interface 104.
As shown in fig. 2B to 2C and fig. 4, at least one second semiconductor chip 103 and an optical coupling region guard ring 400 corresponding to the first semiconductor chip 102 are provided for each first semiconductor chip 102, and the at least one second semiconductor chip 103 and the optical coupling region guard ring 400 are fixed to the non-optical coupling region 1025 on the first surface 102a of the first semiconductor chip 102, respectively, for example, by soldering or other methods; wherein the optical coupling region guard ring 400 surrounds the optical coupling region 1024.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is illustrated that one second semiconductor chip 103 is formed above the first semiconductor chip 102, in practical use, there may be more than one second semiconductor chips 103, for example, 2, 3, 4 or more, and the second semiconductor chips 103 may be flexibly selected according to practical needs.
Since the molding compound layer and the like include organic materials, organic contact with the optical coupling region 1024 may cause organic residue, which may affect the coupling efficiency of the optical coupling interface 104, cause serious optical loss, and affect the operation of the first semiconductor chip 102. To form protection for the optical coupling interface 104 in the optical coupling region 1024, embodiments of the present invention fabricate an optical coupling region guard ring 400 around the optical coupling region 1024 at the periphery of the optical coupling region 1024. Illustratively, the optical coupling region protection ring 400 is a hollow tubular structure or a cup-shaped structure having a hollow structure and a top cover, and subsequently, when a molding compound layer is manufactured, due to the existence of the optical coupling region protection ring 400, the upper surface of the optical coupling region can be uncovered by the molding compound layer, so that the molding compound layer only covers the at least one second semiconductor chip 103 and the outer side surface of the optical coupling region protection ring 400 away from the optical coupling region 1024 and covers the non-optical coupling region 1025 except for the region occupied by the optical coupling region protection ring 400, and the surface purity of the optical coupling region 1024 is ensured while the optical coupling interface 104 in the optical coupling region 1024 is protected from being contaminated by organic matters in the molding compound layer, which is beneficial for the subsequent optical coupling interface 104 to maintain high coupling efficiency with the optical fiber array. In addition, due to the existence of the optical coupling region protection ring 400, the problem that in a traditional plastic package process, since a plastic package layer covers the optical coupling region 1024, laser hole opening processing needs to be performed on the plastic package layer in the later period to expose the optical coupling region 1024 is also avoided.
It should be understood that if the optical coupling region protection ring 400 is a cup-shaped structure with a hollow top cap, after the molding layer is manufactured, the top cap thereof is removed to expose the optical coupling region 1024, so as to facilitate the subsequent input of the light from the external light source into the first semiconductor chip 102 through the optical coupling interface 104. When the coupling region protection ring 400 is a cup-shaped structure, the hollow structure and the top cap are bonded by an adhesive layer, and the adhesive layer can be removed by illumination, heating, and the like, so that the optical coupling region 1024 can be protected better, and the optical coupling region 1024 can be conveniently packaged subsequently. If the optical coupling region protection ring 400 is a tubular structure having a hollow core, the optical coupling region 1024 can be directly exposed.
Optionally, the optical coupling region guard ring 400 comprises at least one of metal, ceramic, silicon. Preferably, the optical coupling region guard ring 400 is made of a material having a thermal expansion coefficient and a rigidity similar to those of the first semiconductor chip 102, such as ceramic or silicon. The optical coupling region protection ring 400 is fixed on the non-optical coupling region 1025 on the first surface 102a of the first semiconductor chip 102 by means of substrate bonding or adhesive bonding.
Alternatively, the order of fixing the at least one second semiconductor chip 103 and the optical coupling region guard ring 400 may not be limited.
Further, in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 102a, a top surface of the optical coupling region guard ring 400 away from the first surface 102a is flush with a top surface of the at least one second semiconductor chip 103 away from the first surface 102 a.
Fig. 5A-5B are schematic diagrams illustrating a manufacturing process for manufacturing a molding layer according to an embodiment of the invention.
As shown in fig. 5A, in an embodiment of the present invention, the fabricating the molding layer includes: providing a plastic package mold 800, wherein the plastic package mold 800 is provided with a plurality of U-shaped cavities 801 corresponding to the plurality of first semiconductor chips 102 one by one, and a colloidal plastic package material 1061, such as a plastic package adhesive, is disposed at a preset area in each cavity 801; then, the plastic package mold 800 provided with the colloidal plastic package material 1061 is inverted and pressed on a surface of the semiconductor wafer 100 away from the first carrier substrate 200 to form the plastic package layer 106.
Exemplarily, the preset area is an area where the plastic package adhesive is disposed outside the corresponding optical coupling area protection ring 400 and the optical coupling area 1024 of each cavity 801, and by using the characteristic that the plastic package adhesive is not prone to fluid movement and gravity drop at will, in the process of inverting and pressing the plastic package mold 800 provided with the plastic package adhesive, the plastic package adhesive can be uniformly filled into a gap to be filled, and the plastic package adhesive can also be prevented from dropping in the optical coupling area 1024, so that the optical coupling interface 104 in the optical coupling area 1024 is protected from being contaminated by the plastic package adhesive. And heating and curing the plastic package adhesive to obtain the 3D chip stacked package structure with the optical coupling region 1024 not covered by the plastic package layer 106.
For example, the inner wall of the U-shaped cavity is smooth, for example, the inner configuration of the U-shaped cavity may be designed according to the shape of the plastic package layer to be formed, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited herein.
As shown in fig. 5B, when the mold chase 800 is inverted and bonded onto the semiconductor wafer 100, a top surface of the optical coupling region protection ring 400 away from the first surface 102a is attached to a bottom of the cavity 801, so that after the gel-like molding compound 1061 is cured to form the molding layer 106, a top surface of the optical coupling region protection ring 400 away from the first surface 102a is flush with a top surface of the molding layer 106 away from the first surface 102a in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 102 a. Moreover, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the top surface of the optical coupling region protection ring 400 away from the first surface 102a is flush with the top surface of the at least one second semiconductor chip 103 away from the first surface 102a, after the molding compound layer is formed, the top surface of the at least one second semiconductor chip 103 away from the first surface 102a can be exposed outside the molding compound layer 106, which is not only beneficial to reducing the volume of the package structure, but also beneficial to dissipating heat of the at least one second semiconductor chip 103. Meanwhile, the subsequent process of thinning the plastic packaging layer 106 is also omitted, so that the top surface of the at least one second semiconductor chip 103 far away from the first surface 102a is exposed, and the manufacturing process flow is simplified and the manufacturing cost is reduced.
Fig. 6A-6B are schematic views illustrating a manufacturing process for manufacturing a molding layer according to another embodiment of the invention.
As shown in fig. 6A, in another embodiment of the present invention, compared to fig. 5A, the fabricating the molding layer further includes: before the colloidal plastic package material 1061 is arranged, an adhesive thinning layer 901 is arranged at the bottom of each cavity 801, and the colloidal plastic package material 1061 is arranged at the preset area of the adhesive thinning layer 901.
As shown in fig. 6B, when the plastic mold 800 is inverted and pressed on the semiconductor wafer 100, the top surface of the optical coupling region guard ring 400 away from the first surface 102a is attached to the adhesive dispensing layer 901.
Exemplarily, the preset region refers to a region where plastic-sealing glue is disposed outside the corresponding optical coupling region protection ring 400 and the optical coupling region 1024 of each cavity 801. Illustratively, the hydrophobic layer 901 is made of teflon or the like, and the hydrophobic layer 901 has the hydrophobic property, that is, has repellency to colloid, so that after the colloidal plastic package material 1061 is disposed at the preset area of the hydrophobic layer 901 and after the plastic package mold 800 provided with the plastic package glue is inverted and pressed, the plastic package glue is prevented from adhering to the surface of the hydrophobic layer 901 and the side wall close to the bottom of the cavity 801, and the plastic package glue is conveniently separated from the plastic package mold 800 after being cured.
Fig. 7-8 are schematic views illustrating steps of a method for manufacturing a package structure according to an embodiment of the invention. Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of a chip scale package structure according to an embodiment of the invention. Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram illustrating a connection between a chip scale package structure and a package substrate according to an embodiment of the invention.
As shown in fig. 7, the method for manufacturing the package structure further includes: after the plastic package layer 106 is formed, the plastic package mold 800 is removed.
As shown in fig. 8, the method for manufacturing the package structure further includes: after removing the plastic package mold 800, the first carrier substrate 200 is debonded.
Further, after the first carrier substrate 200 is debonded, the semiconductor wafer 100 is front-cut, that is, cut on the side of the semiconductor wafer 100 having the molding layer 106, so as to obtain a plurality of separated chip package assemblies 1000; as shown in fig. 9, each of the chip package assemblies 1000 has a first semiconductor chip 102, at least one corresponding second semiconductor chip 103, a light coupling area guard ring 400, and a molding layer 106. At this time, the presence of the molding layer 106 increases the surface strength of the semiconductor wafer 100, and therefore, even when the semiconductor wafer 100 is subjected to front-side dicing, the risk of chipping of the semiconductor wafer 100 due to dicing chipping hardly occurs.
Subsequently, as shown in fig. 10, each of the chip package assemblies 1000 is mounted on the corresponding package substrate 700. Specifically, the second conductive bump 1023 on the chip package assembly 1000 having at least one second conductive bump 1023 is bonded to an electrical connection point (not shown) on the package substrate 700.

As shown in fig. 11A to fig. 11C, the method for manufacturing a package structure according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes: before the at least one second semiconductor chip 103 and the optical coupling area guard ring 400 are respectively fixed on the non-optical coupling area 1025 of the first surface 102a of the corresponding first semiconductor chip 102, a plurality of conductive channels 1021 are manufactured in each first semiconductor chip 102, and both side surfaces of each conductive channel 1021 are respectively exposed from both side surfaces of the first semiconductor chip 102. The conductive via 1021 may be formed by connecting multiple conductive layers and manufactured separately in multiple steps.
Specifically, when the first semiconductor chip 102 is a Silicon-based optical chip, a plurality of conductive vias are formed in the substrate of the first semiconductor chip 102, and the conductive vias may be formed by a "Through Silicon Via" (TSV) technology, which is a high-density packaging technology and is gradually replacing the mature wire bonding technology in the current process, and is considered as a fourth-generation packaging technology. The TSV technology realizes vertical electrical interconnection of the through-silicon vias by filling conductive substances such as copper, tungsten, polysilicon, and the like. The through silicon via technology can reduce the interconnection length, reduce signal delay, reduce capacitance/inductance, realize low power consumption and high-speed communication between chips, increase broadband and realize miniaturization of device integration through vertical interconnection. The TSV process may include deep silicon etching to form a micro-or blind via, deposition of an insulating layer/barrier layer/seed layer, deep hole filling, chemical mechanical polishing, thinning, and redistribution lead preparation, the process method for forming a conductive via in an optical chip includes, but is not limited to, laser etching, deep reactive ion etching, and the like, and then filling a conductive material (e.g., metal) by using a process such as deep hole filling after the conductive via is formed. The present invention is not described in detail herein.
As shown in fig. 11A, after exposing both side surfaces of each of the conductive vias 1021 from the surface of the first semiconductor chip 102, a first conductive bump 1022 is formed on the exposed side surface of each of the conductive vias 101. The first conductive bump 1022 is, for example, a pad (metal bump) or a solder ball. A first conductive bump 1022 is formed on the exposed surface of each conductive via 1021 to electrically connect the conductive via 1021 with an external electrical connection point. The first surface 102a of the first semiconductor chip 102 having the at least one first conductive bump 1022 is temporarily bonded to the second carrier substrate 300 by the bonding paste 301.
As shown in fig. 11B, after the first semiconductor chip 102 having at least one first conductive bump 1022 is temporarily bonded to the second carrier substrate 300, a second conductive bump 1023 is formed on the other side surface of the first semiconductor chip 102 where each of the conductive vias 1021 is exposed.
As shown in fig. 11C, after a second conductive bump 1023 is formed on the other side surface of the first semiconductor chip 102 exposed by each conductive channel 1021, the second surface 102b of the first semiconductor chip 102 having at least one second conductive bump 1023 is temporarily bonded to the first carrier substrate 200 through the bonding adhesive 201, and the second carrier substrate 300 is debonded, so as to obtain the structure shown in fig. 2A, which is composed of the first carrier substrate 200 and the semiconductor wafer 100 including a plurality of first semiconductor chips.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 2A to fig. 2C, a plurality of third conductive bumps 1032 are formed on one side of the second semiconductor chip 103, wherein the plurality of third conductive bumps 1032 correspond to the first conductive bumps 1022 on each of the conductive channels 1021 in a one-to-one manner. Each of the third conductive bumps 1032 is bonded to the corresponding first conductive bump 1022, so as to fixedly connect the second semiconductor chip 103 and the first semiconductor chip 102 together.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the second semiconductor chip 103 is flip-chip bonded to the first semiconductor chip 102. Each of the third conductive bumps 1032 is bonded to the corresponding first conductive bump 1022, and the Bonding manner may be Thermal Compression Bonding (TCB), reflow soldering, laser Bonding, or direct metal Bonding. If the second semiconductor chip 103 has a solder ball or a bump, an underfill process is required. It is to be understood that a plurality of second semiconductor chips 103 may also be connected to the same first semiconductor chip 102 according to actual needs.
It should be noted that the one-to-one correspondence between the plurality of third conductive bumps 1032 and the first conductive bumps 1022 on each of the conductive vias 1021 is for performing one-to-one connection when connecting electrical signal terminals, and is not completely limited to one-to-one correspondence between upper and lower projection positions. It should be understood that when the plurality of third conductive bumps 1032 correspond to the first conductive bumps 1022 and the lower projection positions on each of the conductive channels 1021, the required connection distance is shortest when the first semiconductor chip 102 and the second semiconductor chip 10 are vertically interconnected, and therefore, the problems of higher impedance, limited current passing capability and the like caused by too long connection lines between the first semiconductor chip 102 and the second semiconductor chip 103 can be avoided, so that the loss of the upper and lower interconnections between the first semiconductor chip 102 and the second semiconductor chip 103 is reduced.
