Description

MEMS封装结构及其制作方法 技术领域
本发明涉及半导体领域,特别涉及一种MEMS封装结构及其制作方法。
背景技术
随着超大规模集成电路的发展趋势,集成电路特征尺寸持续减小,人们对集成电路的封装技术的要求相应也不断提高。在传感器类MEMS封装结构的市场上,微机电系统(MEMS)芯片在诸如智能手机、健身手环、打印机、汽车、无人机以及VR/AR头戴式设备等产品领域得到了广泛的应用。常用的MEMS芯片有压力传感器、加速度计、陀螺仪、MEMS麦克风、光传感器、催化传感器等等。MEMS芯片与其他芯片通常是利用系统级封装(system in package,SIP)进行集成以形成微机电装置。具体而言,通常是在一个晶圆上制作MEMS芯片,而在另一个晶圆上制作控制电路,然后进行集成。目前常用的集成方法主要有两种:一种是将MEMS芯片晶圆和控制电路晶圆分别接合在同一个封装基底上,并利用引线将MEMS芯片晶圆和控制电路晶圆与封装基底上的焊盘键合,从而将控制电路与MEMS芯片电连接;另一种是直接将制作有MEMS芯片晶圆和控制电路晶圆接合,并使它们对应的焊盘形成电连接,进而实现控制电路与MEMS芯片的电连接。
但是,利用上述前一种集成方法制备得到的微机电装置,封装基底上需要预留出焊盘区,通常尺寸较大,不利于整体装置缩小。此外,由于不同功能(或结构)的MEMS芯片制造工艺差别较大,在同一个晶圆上通常仅能制作一种功能(或结构)的MEMS芯片,利用上述后一种集成方法难以在同一晶圆上利用半导体工艺形成多种功能的MEMS芯片,而如果将不同功能的MEMS芯片晶圆分多次集成在不同的控制晶圆上再进行互连,工序复杂,成本高,并且得到的微机电装置尺寸仍然较大。因此,现有集成MEMS芯片的方法和所得到的MEMS封装结构仍不能满足实际应用中对尺寸和功能集成能力的要求。
