Description

一种芯片组合件及终端设备Chip assembly and terminal equipment 技术领域Technical field
本申请涉及电子及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种芯片组合件及终端设备。The present application relates to the field of electronic and communication technologies, and in particular, to a chip assembly and a terminal device.
背景技术Background technique
随着高速率通信时代的来临,通信系统对带宽、时延、传输路径损耗等要求越来越高。为了顺应这一发展趋势,封装天线(antenna in package,AIP)应用而生。其中,封装天线具有如下特点:1、在封装天线中,馈电路径极短,可以使得天线的等效全向辐射功率(equivalent isotropic radiated power,EIRP)最大化,有利于实现高带宽;2、与传统的印刷电路板(printed circuit board,PCB)加工工艺相比,封装天线的集成度高、加工精度高,因而不易出现因加工精度低导致的电性能恶化现象,即采用封装天线可以获得较佳的电性能。With the advent of the high-speed communication era, communication systems have increasingly higher requirements for bandwidth, delay, and transmission path loss. In order to comply with this development trend, an antenna (package) (AIP) application was born. Among them, the packaged antenna has the following characteristics: 1. In the packaged antenna, the feeding path is extremely short, which can maximize the equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of the antenna, which is conducive to achieving high bandwidth; 2. Compared with the traditional printed circuit board (PCB) processing technology, packaged antennas have a high degree of integration and high processing accuracy, so it is not easy for the electrical performance to deteriorate due to low processing accuracy. Good electrical performance.
一种采用双层贴片的封装天线的结构示意图可以如图1所示。图1中,上基板用于承载天线的副辐射片,下基板与射频(radio frequency,RF)芯片连接并承载天线的主辐射片,RF芯片通过下基板中的馈电路径向主辐射片馈电(为了简化示意,图1中仅示出了三条馈电路径)。该封装天线还可包括与下基板连接的球栅阵列(ball grid array,BGA),该封装天线可通过BGA与母板(即PCB板)连接。此外,上基板和下基板通过锡球连接。A schematic structural diagram of a package antenna using a double-layer patch can be shown in FIG. 1. In Figure 1, the upper substrate is used to carry the auxiliary radiator of the antenna, and the lower substrate is connected to a radio frequency (RF) chip and carries the main radiator of the antenna. The RF chip is fed to the main radiator by a feeder circuit in the lower substrate. Electricity (for simplicity, only three feed paths are shown in Figure 1). The packaged antenna may further include a ball grid array (BGA) connected to the lower substrate, and the packaged antenna may be connected to the motherboard (ie, a PCB board) through the BGA. In addition, the upper substrate and the lower substrate are connected by a solder ball.
在图1所示的封装天线中,上基板和下基板之间的距离以及对位决定了主辐射片和副辐射片的相对位置,由于该封装天线中主辐射片向副辐射片耦合馈电,因而该相对位置对天线覆盖频段及性能的影响较大。因此,如何实现上基板与下基板之间的精准、稳固的粘合是制备图1所示天线的关键点之一。In the packaged antenna shown in FIG. 1, the distance and alignment between the upper and lower substrates determine the relative positions of the primary and secondary radiators. Since the primary and secondary radiators in this packaged antenna are coupled to feed the secondary radiators, Therefore, the relative position has a greater impact on the frequency band and performance covered by the antenna. Therefore, how to achieve accurate and stable adhesion between the upper substrate and the lower substrate is one of the key points for preparing the antenna shown in FIG. 1.
现有技术中,通常采用图1中的锡球实现上基板与下基板的粘合。由于锡球具备热不稳定性,而封装天线的制备工艺以及后续测试、应用过程中包括多次高温回流焊(将温度升高后再回落,以实现焊接)操作,因而采用锡球实现上基板与下基板的粘合会造成上基板与下基板的相对位置不稳定,从而影响天线的性能。In the prior art, the solder balls in FIG. 1 are usually used to achieve the bonding between the upper substrate and the lower substrate. Because the solder ball has thermal instability, the manufacturing process of the package antenna and subsequent testing and application processes include multiple high-temperature reflow soldering operations (the temperature is raised and then lowered to achieve soldering). Therefore, the solder ball is used to realize the upper substrate. The adhesion to the lower substrate may cause the relative position of the upper substrate and the lower substrate to be unstable, thereby affecting the performance of the antenna.
综上,亟需一种封装天线方案来实现上基板与下基板的粘合,使得上基板与下基板的相对位置稳定,提高封装天线的性能。In summary, there is an urgent need for a package antenna solution to achieve the bonding of the upper substrate and the lower substrate, so that the relative position of the upper substrate and the lower substrate is stable, and the performance of the package antenna is improved.

具体实施方式detailed description
如背景技术中所述,在采用双层贴片的封装天线中,承载上层贴片的上基板与承载下层贴片的下基板间的距离和对位是否精准,对封装天线覆盖频段和性能的影响较大。As described in the background art, in a package antenna using a double-layered patch, is the distance and alignment between the upper substrate carrying the upper-layer patch and the lower substrate carrying the lower-layer patch accurate? Greater impact.
在图1所示的封装天线中,上基板用于承载天线的副辐射片,下基板与RF芯片连接并承载天线的主辐射片,主辐射片通过下基板中的馈电路径向主辐射片馈电。其中,主辐射片为一个天线阵列,包含多个阵元(以下称为下层阵元);副辐射片也为一个天线阵列,包含多个阵元(以下称为上层阵元)。每个上层阵元均与一个下层阵元耦合,每个下层阵元和与其耦合的上层阵元的形状和尺寸相同、且中心对正。射频处理芯片通过下基板中的馈电路径向主辐射片馈电,主辐射片中的每个下层阵元通过耦合馈电的方式向对应的上层阵元馈电,从而增加该封装天线的带宽。In the packaged antenna shown in FIG. 1, the upper substrate is used to carry the auxiliary radiator of the antenna, the lower substrate is connected to the RF chip and carries the main radiator of the antenna, and the main radiator passes through the feed circuit in the lower substrate to the main radiator. Feed. The main radiator is an antenna array and includes multiple array elements (hereinafter referred to as lower-level array elements); the sub-radiator is also an antenna array and includes multiple array elements (hereinafter referred to as upper-level array elements). Each upper element is coupled to a lower element, and each lower element and the upper element coupled to it have the same shape and size, and are centered. The radio frequency processing chip feeds the main radiator through a feeder circuit in the lower substrate. Each lower element in the main radiator supplies power to the corresponding upper element through a coupling feed, thereby increasing the bandwidth of the packaged antenna. .
在图1所示的封装天线中,若下层阵元与上层阵元的中心不对正,或者下层阵元与上层阵元的形状和尺寸不相同,则该封装天线的增益会降低,回波损耗会变差,方向图也会恶化。此外,上层阵元和下层阵元之间的间距也会对该封装天线的频偏产生影响。因此,对于采用双层贴片的封装天线,如何实现上基板与下基板之间的精准、稳固的粘合是关键 技术之一。In the packaged antenna shown in FIG. 1, if the center of the lower layer element is not aligned with the center of the upper layer element, or the shape and size of the lower layer element and the upper layer element are different, the gain of the packaged antenna will be reduced and the return loss Will worsen and the pattern will worsen. In addition, the distance between the upper array element and the lower array element will also affect the frequency offset of the packaged antenna. Therefore, for a package antenna using a double-layer patch, how to achieve accurate and stable adhesion between the upper substrate and the lower substrate is one of the key technologies.
在图1中所示的封装天线中,通过锡球实现上基板与下基板的粘合。由于锡球具备热不稳定性,而封装天线的制备工艺以及后续测试、应用过程中包括多次高温回流焊(将温度升高后再回落,以实现焊接)操作,由于锡球具备热不稳定性,在高温回流焊过程中锡球易塌陷、变形,导致上基板和下基板之间出现间距变化、对位偏移等现象,影响上、下基板之间的对位,对封装天线的性能产生影响。In the packaged antenna shown in FIG. 1, the upper substrate and the lower substrate are bonded by a solder ball. Because the solder ball has thermal instability, the manufacturing process of the packaged antenna and subsequent testing and application processes include multiple high-temperature reflow soldering operations (the temperature is increased and then lowered to achieve soldering). Due to the solder ball's thermal instability In the high temperature reflow process, the solder ball easily collapses and deforms, resulting in changes in the pitch and misalignment between the upper and lower substrates, affecting the alignment between the upper and lower substrates and the performance of the package antenna. Make an impact.
因此,采用锡球实现上基板与下基板的粘合会造成上基板与下基板的相对位置不稳定,从而影响封装天线的性能。Therefore, the use of solder balls to achieve the bonding between the upper substrate and the lower substrate may cause the relative position of the upper substrate and the lower substrate to be unstable, thereby affecting the performance of the packaged antenna.
基于以上问题,本申请实施例提供一种芯片组合件、芯片组合件的制备方法及终端设备,用以实现上基板与下基板的粘合,使得上基板与下基板的相对位置稳定,从而提高芯片组合件的性能。Based on the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a chip assembly, a method for preparing the chip assembly, and a terminal device, so as to realize the adhesion between the upper substrate and the lower substrate, so that the relative position of the upper substrate and the lower substrate is stable, thereby improving Chip assembly performance.

此外,本申请实施例中,上层辐射贴片201可设置于上基板202朝向下基板204的表面,也可设置于上基板202背对下基板204的表面,本申请实施例中对此不做具体限定。图2中示出的上层辐射贴片201设置于上基板202背对下基板204的表面的方式仅为一种示意。在后续的附图中,本申请实施例均以上层辐射贴片201设置于上基板202背对下基板204的表面的方案进行示意,但实际实现时,上层辐射贴片201的位置并不限定为附图中示意的方式。In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the upper radiation patch 201 may be disposed on a surface of the upper substrate 202 facing the lower substrate 204, or may be disposed on a surface of the upper substrate 202 facing away from the lower substrate 204, which is not done in the embodiment of the present application Specific limitations. The manner in which the upper-layer radiation patch 201 shown in FIG. 2 is disposed on the surface of the upper substrate 202 facing away from the lower substrate 204 is merely an example. In the subsequent drawings, the embodiments of the present application all illustrate a scheme in which the upper radiation patch 201 is disposed on the surface of the upper substrate 202 facing away from the lower substrate 204, but in actual implementation, the position of the upper radiation patch 201 is not limited This is the way illustrated in the drawings.
进一步地,本申请实施例中,上层辐射贴片201和下层辐射贴片203均可以采用天线阵列的形式,即上层辐射贴片201包含M个上层阵元,下层辐射贴片203包含M个下层阵元,M个下层阵元分别与M个上层阵元耦合。此时,射频处理芯片205通过馈电路径包含的M个馈电子路径分别向M个下层阵元馈电,M>1。Further, in the embodiment of the present application, both the upper radiation patch 201 and the lower radiation patch 203 may be in the form of an antenna array, that is, the upper radiation patch 201 includes M upper array elements, and the lower radiation patch 203 includes M lower layers. Array elements, M lower-level array elements are respectively coupled with M upper-level array elements. At this time, the radio frequency processing chip 205 feeds M lower-layer array elements through M feeding paths included in the feeding path, respectively, and M> 1.
当上层辐射贴片201和下层辐射贴片203均采用天线阵列形式时,芯片组合件200的结构示意图可以如图3所示。图3所示的芯片组合件的俯视图可以如图4所示。图3和图4所示的芯片组合件200中,以上层辐射贴片201包含八个上层阵元、下层辐射贴片203包含八个下层阵元为例进行示意。实际实现时,本申请实施中对上层辐射贴片201和下层辐射贴片203中包含的阵元的数量不做具体限定。When both the upper radiation patch 201 and the lower radiation patch 203 are in the form of an antenna array, a schematic structural diagram of the chip assembly 200 can be shown in FIG. 3. A top view of the chip assembly shown in FIG. 3 may be shown in FIG. 4. In the chip assembly 200 shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the upper radiation patch 201 includes eight upper array elements and the lower radiation patch 203 includes eight lower array elements as an example. In actual implementation, the number of array elements included in the upper radiation patch 201 and the lower radiation patch 203 is not specifically limited in the implementation of the present application.
上层辐射贴片201和下层辐射贴片203均采用天线阵列形式时,该芯片组合件200可以覆盖较宽的频段范围、获得较佳的天线增益。When both the upper radiation patch 201 and the lower radiation patch 203 are in the form of an antenna array, the chip assembly 200 can cover a wide frequency range and obtain better antenna gain.
此外,在一种可能的示例中,每个下层阵元和与其耦合的上层阵元的形状和尺寸相同、且中心对正。这样可使得芯片组合件200获得更好的电性能。In addition, in one possible example, each lower element and the upper element coupled to it have the same shape and size, and are centered. In this way, the chip assembly 200 can obtain better electrical performance.
本申请实施例中,对于图2所示的芯片组合件200的馈电方式可以有如下理解:射频处理芯片205通过下基板204中的馈电路径向下层辐射贴片203馈电;下层辐射贴片203不与上层辐射贴片201直接连接,而是通过耦合馈电的方式向上层辐射贴片201馈电。In the embodiment of the present application, the feeding manner of the chip assembly 200 shown in FIG. 2 can be understood as follows: the RF processing chip 205 feeds the radial radiation patch 203 to the lower layer through the feeding circuit in the lower substrate 204; the lower radiation patch The sheet 203 is not directly connected to the upper radiation patch 201, but feeds power to the upper radiation patch 201 by means of coupling feeding.
具体地,射频处理芯片205在向下层辐射贴片203馈电时,可采用直接馈电的方式,也可以采用耦合馈电的方式。其中,采用直接馈电方式的方案可以如图2所示,即下基板204中的馈电路径与下层辐射贴片203直接连接。而采用耦合馈电方式时,图2所示的芯片组合件200可以如图5所示。Specifically, when feeding the radio frequency processing chip 205 to the lower-level radiation patch 203, a direct feeding method or a coupling feeding method may be adopted. The solution using the direct power feeding method can be shown in FIG. 2, that is, the power feeding path in the lower substrate 204 is directly connected to the lower radiation patch 203. When the coupled feeding method is adopted, the chip assembly 200 shown in FIG. 2 may be shown in FIG. 5.
在图5所示的芯片组合件200中,下基板204中的馈电路径中远离射频处理芯片205的一端延伸出一个平台,该平台与下层辐射贴片203可形成谐振,从而实现射频处理芯片205通过下基板204中的馈电路径向下层辐射贴片203耦合馈电。In the chip assembly 200 shown in FIG. 5, a platform extending from an end of the feeding path in the lower substrate 204 away from the radio frequency processing chip 205 forms a resonance with the lower radiation patch 203 to implement the radio frequency processing chip. 205 is coupled to feed power through a feeding circuit in the lower substrate 204 to the radial lower radiation patch 203.
需要说明的是,在图2所示的芯片组合件200中,通过一个或多个锡球206对上基板202与下基板204的相对位置进行对准,并通过一个或多个第一粘胶207固定上基板202和下基板204的相对位置。It should be noted that, in the chip assembly 200 shown in FIG. 2, the relative positions of the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204 are aligned by one or more solder balls 206 and one or more first adhesives are used. 207 fixes the relative positions of the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204.
也就是说,在芯片组合件200的制备过程中,首先用一个或多个锡球206实现上基板202和下基板204的连接。在二者已连接且连接时对位准确的情况下,下层辐射贴片203向上层辐射贴片201耦合馈电时,不会出现前述增益降低、回波损耗变差、方向图恶化以及频偏较大的问题,且该芯片组合件200的覆盖频段可满足用户的使用需求,从而可以提高芯片组合件200的性能。然后,为了避免锡球206在多次高温回流焊过程中由于热不稳定性导致塌陷、变形,从而影响上基板202和下基板204的对位的问题,可通过在上基板上设置的一个或多个过孔中分别注入胶水,形成一个或多个第一粘胶207,从而固定上基板202和下基板204的相对位置。That is, in the manufacturing process of the chip assembly 200, the connection between the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204 is first realized by using one or more solder balls 206. In the case that the two are connected and the alignment is accurate when the connection is made, when the lower radiation patch 203 is coupled to the upper radiation patch 201 and fed, the aforementioned gain reduction, return loss deterioration, pattern deterioration, and frequency deviation will not occur. A larger problem, and the coverage band of the chip assembly 200 can meet the user's needs, so that the performance of the chip assembly 200 can be improved. Then, in order to avoid the problem that the solder ball 206 collapses and deforms due to thermal instability during multiple high-temperature reflow processes, which affects the alignment of the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204, one or Glue is injected into each of the plurality of vias to form one or more first adhesives 207, so as to fix the relative positions of the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204.
其中,在设置第一粘胶207之前,为了使得锡球206能实现上基板202与下基板204的相对位置的对准并保持二者相对位置,锡球206可采用稳定且不具有流动性的材料,例如锡、铜、塑料等。Among them, before the first adhesive 207 is provided, in order to enable the solder balls 206 to align the relative positions of the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204 and maintain the relative positions of the two, the solder balls 206 may be stable and have no fluidity. Materials such as tin, copper, plastic, etc.
在一种可能的示例中,锡球206包括但不限于锡核锡球、铜核锡球或者塑核锡球。也就是说,锡球206的外表面的材料为锡,锡球206的内核的材料包括但不限于锡、铜和塑料。In one possible example, the solder ball 206 includes, but is not limited to, a tin core solder ball, a copper core solder ball, or a plastic core solder ball. That is, the material of the outer surface of the solder ball 206 is tin, and the material of the inner core of the solder ball 206 includes, but is not limited to, tin, copper, and plastic.
此外,本申请实施例中,锡球206也可以由其他形状的结构代替,只要该结构可用于实现上基板202与下基板204的连接即可。例如锡球206可由正方体形状或者长方体形状的锡块代替。In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the solder ball 206 may also be replaced by a structure with other shapes, as long as the structure can be used to achieve the connection between the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204. For example, the solder ball 206 may be replaced by a cube-shaped or cuboid-shaped tin block.
为了使得第一粘胶207在芯片组合件200制备过程以及后续测试、应用过程中包括的多次高温回流焊(将温度升高后再回落,以实现焊接)操作中不致塌陷、变形,第一粘胶207可采用低流动性胶水,并在芯片组合件200上进行点胶操作后进行烘烤固化,从而使得第一粘胶207更为稳固,进而固定上基板202与下基板204的相对位置。In order to prevent the first adhesive 207 from collapsing and deforming during the high temperature reflow soldering (raising the temperature and then falling down to achieve soldering) during the preparation process of the chip assembly 200 and subsequent testing and application, the first The adhesive 207 can be a low-flow adhesive and baked and cured after the dispensing operation on the chip assembly 200, so that the first adhesive 207 is more stable, and the relative position of the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204 is fixed. .
此外,本申请实施例中对第一粘胶207的形状不做具体限定,例如第一粘胶207可以为球形、正方体、长方体或者任何不规则形状,只要第一粘胶207可用于固定上基板202和下基板204的相对位置即可。In addition, the shape of the first adhesive 207 is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. For example, the first adhesive 207 may be spherical, cubic, rectangular or any irregular shape, as long as the first adhesive 207 can be used to fix the upper substrate. The relative positions of 202 and the lower substrate 204 may be sufficient.
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中对锡球206以及第一粘胶207的数量均不做具体限定。锡球206的数量可以为一个,也可以为多个;同样地,第一粘胶207的数量可以为一个,也可以为多个。It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the solder balls 206 and the first adhesive 207 are not specifically limited. The number of the solder balls 206 may be one or plural. Similarly, the number of the first adhesive 207 may be one or plural.
通常,为了使得上基板202和下基板204的相对位置更稳定,可以在上基板202和下基板204之间对称地设置多个锡球206。图2中仅以芯片组合件200中包括两个锡球206以及一个第一粘胶207为例进行示意。实际实现时,锡球206和第一粘胶207的数量并不限定为图2中所示的数量。Generally, in order to make the relative positions of the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204 more stable, a plurality of solder balls 206 may be disposed symmetrically between the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204. In FIG. 2, the chip assembly 200 is illustrated only by using two solder balls 206 and one first adhesive 207 as an example. In actual implementation, the number of the solder balls 206 and the first adhesive 207 is not limited to the number shown in FIG. 2.
此外,同样需要说明的是,本申请实施例中对锡球206的位置以及粘胶207的位置也不做具体限定。下面分别对锡球206在芯片组合件200中的位置分布以及第一粘胶207在芯片组合件200中的位置分布进行介绍。In addition, it should also be noted that the positions of the solder balls 206 and the positions of the adhesive 207 are not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. The position distribution of the solder balls 206 in the chip assembly 200 and the position distribution of the first adhesive 207 in the chip assembly 200 are introduced below.
一、锡球206在芯片组合件200中的位置分布First, the position distribution of the solder ball 206 in the chip assembly 200
锡球206可置于上基板202和下基板204之间、且设置于靠近上基板202(或下基板204)的边缘的位置;锡球206也可以围绕下基板204的中垂线呈对称分布;锡球206也 可以散乱分布在上基板202和下基板204之间的任意位置。The solder balls 206 may be placed between the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204 and located near the edge of the upper substrate 202 (or the lower substrate 204); the solder balls 206 may also be symmetrically distributed around the vertical line of the lower substrate 204 The solder balls 206 may be scattered randomly at any position between the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204.
示例性地,当锡球206的数量为多个时,多个锡球206可以围绕下基板204的中垂线呈对称分布,此时,芯片组合件200的剖面图可以如图6所示。图6中以八个锡球206进行示意,实际实现时,锡球206的数量并不限定为八个。此外,实际实现时,芯片组合件200的俯视图中仅能看到上基板202和上层辐射贴片201(上层辐射贴片201设置于上基板202背对下基板204的表面的情况下)或者仅能看到上基板202(上层辐射贴片201设置于上基板202朝向下基板204的表面的情况下),图6中为了示意多个锡球206的位置分布,将八个锡球206以透视图的形式显示出来(线条用虚线表示)。Exemplarily, when the number of the solder balls 206 is plural, the plurality of solder balls 206 may be symmetrically distributed around the vertical line of the lower substrate 204. At this time, the cross-sectional view of the chip assembly 200 may be as shown in FIG. 6. In FIG. 6, eight solder balls 206 are used for illustration. In actual implementation, the number of solder balls 206 is not limited to eight. In addition, in actual implementation, the top view of the chip assembly 200 can only see the upper substrate 202 and the upper radiation patch 201 (in the case where the upper radiation patch 201 is disposed on the surface of the upper substrate 202 facing away from the lower substrate 204) or only The upper substrate 202 can be seen (in the case where the upper radiation patch 201 is disposed on the surface of the upper substrate 202 facing the lower substrate 204). In order to illustrate the position distribution of the plurality of solder balls 206 in FIG. 6, eight solder balls 206 are seen through. The form of the figure is shown (the lines are indicated by dotted lines).
多个锡球206围绕下基板204的中垂线呈对称分布时,多个锡球206的结构更为稳固,因而可以使得多个锡球206能更稳固地实现上基板202和下基板204的连接。When the plurality of solder balls 206 are symmetrically distributed around the vertical line of the lower substrate 204, the structure of the plurality of solder balls 206 is more stable, so that the plurality of solder balls 206 can more reliably realize the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204. connection.
需要说明的是,锡球206可用于实现上基板202与下基板204的相对位置的对准。也就是说,在上基板202和下基板204装配在一起之前,锡球206已通过植球等工艺焊接在上基板202(或下基板204)上了。那么,锡球206可以散乱分布在上、下基板之间的任意位置,只要锡球206的位置不干扰辐射贴片的正常工作即可。而当多个锡球206呈对称分布时,可以更稳固地实现上基板202和下基板204的连接。It should be noted that the solder balls 206 can be used to achieve alignment of the relative positions of the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204. That is, before the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204 are assembled together, the solder balls 206 have been soldered on the upper substrate 202 (or the lower substrate 204) by a process such as ball implantation. Then, the solder balls 206 can be scattered randomly at any position between the upper and lower substrates, as long as the positions of the solder balls 206 do not interfere with the normal operation of the radiation patch. When the plurality of solder balls 206 are symmetrically distributed, the connection between the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204 can be more stably achieved.
需要说明的是,为了避免锡球206的材料(例如锡、铜、塑料等)溢出污染辐射贴片(包括上层辐射贴片201和下层辐射贴片203),锡球206可以尽量选择置于远离上层辐射贴片201和下层辐射贴片203的区域。It should be noted that in order to avoid the material (such as tin, copper, plastic, etc.) of the solder ball 206 from overflowing and contaminating the radiation patch (including the upper radiation patch 201 and the lower radiation patch 203), the solder ball 206 can be selected as far away as possible. Areas of the upper radiation patch 201 and the lower radiation patch 203.
二、第一粘胶207在芯片组合件200中的位置分布Second, the position distribution of the first adhesive 207 in the chip assembly 200
如前所述,每个第一粘胶207的一端设置于上基板202上的一个过孔中、另一端与下基板204朝向上基板202的表面连接。也就是说,第一粘胶207的位置由上基板202上设置的过孔的位置决定。本申请实施例中对上基板202上的过孔的位置和数量均不做具体限定。As described above, one end of each first adhesive 207 is disposed in a via hole on the upper substrate 202, and the other end is connected to the surface of the lower substrate 204 facing the upper substrate 202. That is, the position of the first adhesive 207 is determined by the position of the via hole provided on the upper substrate 202. In the embodiment of the present application, the positions and numbers of vias on the upper substrate 202 are not specifically limited.
其中,该过孔可以是机械圆孔、半圆孔,也可以是槽型孔,本申请实施例中对过孔的形状和尺寸不做具体限定。本申请实施例中均以圆形过孔为例进行示意,实际实现时,该过孔的形状并不限定为圆形。特别地,在一种可能的示例中,该过孔可以是设置在上基板202边缘处的半圆形孔。此外,由于该过孔是为了后续进行点胶操作形成第一粘胶207而设置的,因此,具体实现时,该过孔的尺寸可以根据点胶设备的针头的尺寸进行设置。The via hole may be a mechanical circular hole, a semi-circular hole, or a slot hole. The shape and size of the via hole are not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. In the embodiments of the present application, a circular via is used as an example for illustration. In actual implementation, the shape of the via is not limited to a circular shape. In particular, in one possible example, the via hole may be a semi-circular hole provided at an edge of the upper substrate 202. In addition, since the via hole is provided for the subsequent dispensing operation to form the first adhesive 207, the size of the via hole can be set according to the size of the needle of the dispensing equipment during specific implementation.
示例性地,上基板202上的过孔数量为两个,且两个过孔以上基板202的中心为中心呈对称分布时,芯片组合件200的结构示意图可如图7所示。图7中,两个第一粘胶207围绕上基板202的中垂线呈对称分布。Exemplarily, when the number of vias on the upper substrate 202 is two and the centers of the substrates 202 above the two vias are symmetrically distributed, the structural schematic diagram of the chip assembly 200 may be shown in FIG. 7. In FIG. 7, the two first adhesives 207 are symmetrically distributed around a vertical line of the upper substrate 202.
示例性地,上基板202上的过孔数量为一个,且该过孔设置在上基板202的中心处时,芯片组合件200的结构示意图可如图8所示。图8中,第一粘胶207通过在上基板202的中心处注入胶水形成。Exemplarily, when the number of via holes on the upper substrate 202 is one and the via holes are disposed at the center of the upper substrate 202, a schematic structural diagram of the chip assembly 200 can be shown in FIG. 8. In FIG. 8, the first adhesive 207 is formed by injecting glue at the center of the upper substrate 202.
此外,本申请实施例中,芯片组合件200中还可包括一个或多个第二粘胶,每个第二粘胶均用于连接上基板202的边缘和下基板204的边缘。当芯片组合件200中包括两个第二粘胶时,图8所示的芯片组合件200的结构示意图可如图9所示。In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the chip assembly 200 may further include one or more second adhesives, each of which is used to connect the edge of the upper substrate 202 and the edge of the lower substrate 204. When the chip assembly 200 includes two second adhesives, a schematic structural diagram of the chip assembly 200 shown in FIG. 8 may be shown in FIG. 9.
从图9可以看出,两个第二粘胶对称设置在靠近上基板202(或下基板204)的边缘的位置时,第二粘胶可以更有效地分散上基板202和下基板204之间的应力,从而更稳固地固定上基板202和下基板204的相对位置。As can be seen from FIG. 9, when the two second adhesives are symmetrically disposed near the edge of the upper substrate 202 (or the lower substrate 204), the second adhesive can more effectively disperse between the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204. The relative position of the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204 is more firmly fixed.
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中对第二粘胶的数量也不做具体限定,图9中仅以两个第二粘胶为例进行示意。实际实现时,第二粘胶的数量并不限定为图9中示意的两个。此外,第二粘胶的材料也可以为低流动性胶水,此处不再赘述。It should be noted that the number of the second adhesives is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application, and only two second adhesives are used as an example for illustration in FIG. 9. In actual implementation, the number of second adhesives is not limited to two as shown in FIG. 9. In addition, the material of the second viscose may also be a low fluidity glue, which is not repeated here.
需要说明的是,由于第一粘胶207的材料(比如低流动性胶水)可能会污染芯片组合件200中的辐射贴片(包括上层辐射贴片201和下层辐射贴片203),因而第一粘胶207可以尽量选择设置于远离上层辐射贴片201和下层辐射贴片203的区域。It should be noted that, because the material of the first adhesive 207 (such as low fluidity glue) may contaminate the radiation patches (including the upper radiation patch 201 and the lower radiation patch 203) in the chip assembly 200, the first The adhesive 207 can be selected as far as possible from a region away from the upper radiation patch 201 and the lower radiation patch 203.
也就是说,在对上基板201进行开孔以设置第一粘胶207时,可以尽量选取远离上层辐射贴片201和下层辐射贴片203的位置进行开孔,这样第一粘胶207则会分布在远离辐射贴片的位置,避免第一粘胶207污染辐射贴片。In other words, when opening the upper substrate 201 to set the first adhesive 207, it is possible to select a position far away from the upper radiation patch 201 and the lower radiation patch 203 for opening, so that the first adhesive 207 will It is distributed away from the radiation patch to prevent the first adhesive 207 from contaminating the radiation patch.
比如,对于图7所示的芯片组合件200,分别置于上基板201上的两个过孔中的第一粘胶207设置于远离上层辐射贴片201和下层辐射贴片203的位置;再比如,对于图8所示的芯片组合件200,上层辐射贴片201和下层辐射贴片203均采用天线阵列的形式,此时在对上基板201进行开孔以设置第一粘胶207时,可以尽量选取两个上层阵元之间的位置进行开孔,这样第一粘胶207可设置于两个上层阵元之间,可以避免第一粘胶207污染上层阵元和下层阵元。For example, for the chip assembly 200 shown in FIG. 7, the first adhesive 207 placed in the two vias on the upper substrate 201 is located far from the upper radiation patch 201 and the lower radiation patch 203; For example, for the chip assembly 200 shown in FIG. 8, both the upper radiation patch 201 and the lower radiation patch 203 are in the form of an antenna array. At this time, when opening the upper substrate 201 to set the first adhesive 207, The position between the two upper array elements can be selected as much as possible for opening, so that the first adhesive 207 can be disposed between the two upper array elements, and the first adhesive 207 can be prevented from contaminating the upper and lower array elements.
此外,本申请实施例中,若芯片组合件200中包含多个第一粘胶207,用于设置多个第一粘胶207的多个过孔也可以分散分布在上基板202上的任意位置。只要这些位置不会干扰辐射贴片的正常工作、且一端设置于过孔中的第一粘胶207能够起到固定上基板202和下基板204的相对位置的作用即可。In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, if the chip assembly 200 includes a plurality of first adhesives 207, a plurality of vias for setting the plurality of first adhesives 207 may also be distributed and distributed at any position on the upper substrate 202. . As long as these positions do not interfere with the normal operation of the radiation patch, and the first adhesive 207 provided at one end in the via hole can play a role of fixing the relative positions of the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204.
需要说明的是,第一粘胶207可用于固定上基板202和下基板204的相对位置。也就是说,第一粘胶207是在上基板202和下基板204装配在一起之后才通过点胶等工艺形成的。因而,为了方便后续进行点胶操作,需事先在上基板202上钻孔,然后通过上基板202上钻出的过孔进行点胶,从而形成第一粘胶207。而对于第二粘胶,由于第二粘胶分布在靠近上基板202和下基板204的边缘侧的位置,因而可直接通过点胶工艺形成第二粘胶,不必在上基板202上进行打孔操作。It should be noted that the first adhesive 207 can be used to fix the relative positions of the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204. That is, the first adhesive 207 is formed by a process such as dispensing after the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204 are assembled together.

结合以上介绍,在图9中所示的芯片组合件200中同时设置第一绿油阻胶坝、第二绿油阻胶坝以及用于固定第二粘胶的绿油阻胶坝时,该芯片组合件200的结构可以如图12所示。In combination with the above description, when the first green oil resist dam, the second green oil resist dam, and the green oil resist dam for fixing the second viscose are simultaneously provided in the chip assembly 200 shown in FIG. 9, the The structure of the chip assembly 200 may be as shown in FIG. 12.
此外,本申请实施例中,根据对芯片组合件200的不同布线和性能需求,下基板204可采用多层线路板。例如,在图2所示的芯片组合件200中,下基板204可采用两层线路板。In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, according to different wiring and performance requirements for the chip assembly 200, the lower substrate 204 may be a multilayer circuit board. For example, in the chip assembly 200 shown in FIG. 2, the lower substrate 204 may adopt a two-layer circuit board.
下基板204采用多层线路板时,可通过多层线路板的内部结构实现下层辐射贴片203和射频处理芯片205的连接,使得布线立体化、减小下基板204上的布线面积,从而降低下基板204的布线复杂度。When the lower substrate 204 is a multilayer circuit board, the internal structure of the multilayer circuit board can be used to connect the lower radiation patch 203 and the RF processing chip 205 to make the wiring three-dimensional and reduce the wiring area on the lower substrate 204, thereby reducing The wiring complexity of the lower substrate 204.
应理解,下基板204采用多层线路板时,对多层线路板的层数不做限定。例如可以是两层、三层、六层、八层等。It should be understood that when the multilayer substrate is used for the lower substrate 204, the number of layers of the multilayer substrate is not limited. For example, it can be two layers, three layers, six layers, eight layers, and the like.
采用本申请实施例提供的芯片组合件200,通过一个或多个锡球206实现上基板202与下基板204的连接,并通过一个或多个第一粘胶207固定上基板202和下基板204的相对位置。由于在芯片组合件200中先通过一个或多个锡球206实现上基板202和下基板204的连接,因而在二者已连接的情况下,上层辐射贴片201与下层辐射贴片203的相对位置也可实现对准,不会出现前述增益降低、回波损耗变差、方向图恶化以及频偏较大的问题,且该芯片组合件200的覆盖频段可满足用户的使用需求,芯片组合件200的性能得以提高。With the chip assembly 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204 are connected through one or more solder balls 206, and the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204 are fixed by one or more first adhesives 207. Relative position. In the chip assembly 200, the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204 are first connected through one or more solder balls 206. Therefore, when the two are connected, the upper radiation patch 201 and the lower radiation patch 203 are opposite to each other. Positions can also be aligned without the aforementioned problems of lowered gains, worse return loss, worsened pattern, and larger frequency deviations, and the coverage of the chip assembly 200 can meet the needs of users. The chip assembly The performance of 200 is improved.
进一步地,通过芯片组合件200中的一个或多个第一粘胶207,可以固定上基板202和下基板204的相对位置。在锡球206在多次高温回流焊过程中由于热不稳定性导致塌陷、变形时,一个或多个第一粘胶207仍可使得上基板201和下基板203的相对位置维持在对准的状态,不会出现上基板201与下基板203的相对位置不稳定的问题,从而可以提高芯 片组合件200的性能。Further, the relative positions of the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204 can be fixed by one or more first adhesives 207 in the chip assembly 200. When the solder ball 206 collapses or deforms due to thermal instability during multiple high-temperature reflow processes, the one or more first adhesives 207 can still maintain the relative positions of the upper substrate 201 and the lower substrate 203 in an aligned manner. In this state, the problem that the relative position of the upper substrate 201 and the lower substrate 203 is unstable will not occur, so that the performance of the chip assembly 200 can be improved.
举例来说,由现有技术可知,上层辐射贴片201和下层辐射贴片203之间的间距(即高度差)会对芯片组合件200的频偏产生影响,对于工作在某个特定频段上的芯片组合件来说,上层辐射贴片201和下层辐射贴片203之间的间距为某一个数值时,通过该芯片组合件200进行数据收发时信号产生的频偏最小,为了描述简便,我们将这个数值称为“指定高度”。采用现有技术提供的封装天线,上基板和下基板通过锡球连接,即通过锡球实现二者的粘合,粘合后上基板和下基板的间距为“指定高度”。在该封装天线的制备工艺以及后续测试、应用过程中,需要经过多次高温回流焊操作,锡球会因高温而发生塌陷、变形,因而上基板和下基板的间距难以保持在“指定高度”。因此,通过该封装天线进行数据收发时,信号会产生较大的频偏,影响该封装天线的性能。而采用本申请实施例提供的芯片组合件200,通过锡球实现上基板202和下基板204的粘合,粘合后上基板202和下基板204的间距为“指定高度”。此外,由于第一粘胶207采用低流动性胶水,第一粘胶207在高温回流焊过程中可以起到固定上基板202和下基板204的相对位置的作用,因而上基板202和下基板204的间距可以保持在“指定高度”。因此,通过该芯片组合件200进行数据收发时,信号产生的频偏较小,该芯片组合件200与现有技术提供的封装天线相比,性能可以得到提高。For example, it can be known from the prior art that the distance (that is, the height difference) between the upper radiation patch 201 and the lower radiation patch 203 will affect the frequency offset of the chip assembly 200, and for working in a specific frequency band For the chip assembly, when the distance between the upper radiation patch 201 and the lower radiation patch 203 is a certain value, the frequency deviation of the signal generated by the chip assembly 200 for data transmission and reception is the smallest. For simplicity, we This value is called "specified height". The package antenna provided by the prior art is used, and the upper substrate and the lower substrate are connected by solder balls, that is, the two are adhered through the solder balls. The distance between the upper substrate and the lower substrate after the adhesion is "specified height". During the manufacturing process and subsequent testing and application of the packaged antenna, multiple high-temperature reflow soldering operations are required. The solder balls will collapse and deform due to high temperatures. Therefore, it is difficult to maintain the distance between the upper substrate and the lower substrate at the "specified height." . Therefore, when transmitting and receiving data through the packaged antenna, the signal will generate a large frequency offset, which affects the performance of the packaged antenna. By using the chip assembly 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204 are bonded by solder balls, and the distance between the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204 after the bonding is "specified height". In addition, because the first adhesive 207 uses low-flow adhesive, the first adhesive 207 can fix the relative position of the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204 during the high-temperature reflow process. Therefore, the upper substrate 202 and the lower substrate 204 The spacing can be kept at "specified height". Therefore, when data is transmitted and received through the chip assembly 200, the frequency offset generated by the signal is small. Compared with the packaged antenna provided by the prior art, the chip assembly 200 can improve performance.
