Detailed Description
The invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The integrated microsystem of the surface-mounted W-band compound chip silicon-based substrate package is shown in fig. 1, and the chip package is formed by bonding two layers of high-resistance silicon wafers through a metal bonding process in the embodiment, but the silicon wafers are not limited to high-resistance silicon wafers, and can be low-resistance silicon wafers. The microsystem includes: the chip comprises a sealing cap 1, a groove 2, a base 3, a standard WR-10 waveguide coupling window 4, a waveguide coupling window-chip microstrip transition conversion structure mounting groove 5, a metallized via 6, an internal Direct Current (DC) power-on pad 7, an external DC power-on pad 8, a bottom pad 9 and a chip position alignment mark 10.
The groove 2 is etched in the sealing cap 1 to form a cavity, and the inner wall of the cavity is required to be metallized for packaging elements such as chips, capacitors and the like on the base 3. Standard WR-10 waveguide coupling window 4 and waveguide coupling window to chip microstrip transition structure mounting groove 5 are etched in base 3, and the inner wall needs to be metallized. The standard WR-10 waveguide coupling windows 4 of the millimeter wave input and output ports can be more than 2 and can be expanded to more than 2 according to the needs. The transition conversion structure which is realized by different technical designs can be selected from the transition conversion mounting groove 5 from the waveguide coupling window to the chip microstrip input and output.
The metallized via holes 6 are located in the base 3, and part of the metallized via holes 6 connect the internal dc-added electric pads 7 and the external dc-added electric pads 8, and the purpose of part of the metallized via holes 6 is to connect the ground on the upper and lower surfaces, and the upper surface of the base 3 is a metal ground except for four pads, and the metal ground is formed by plating gold on the silicon-based surface. The internal dc-powered pads 7 and the external dc-powered pads 8 are located at the top and bottom of the base 3, respectively, the bottom pads 9 are located at the bottom of the base 3, and the interconnection portion between the external dc-powered pads 8 and the metal vias 6 is surface-metallized with solder resist properties. A chip position alignment mark 10 is located on top of the base 3, indicating the mounting position of the chip at the time of packaging. The microsystem may be used as a surface mount device, where the shape of the external dc powered pads 8 may be consistent with the pad shape of the mounted substrate.
The compound chip type of the microsystem package is various, including an active compound chip or a passive compound chip, etc., the working frequency band of the chip is not limited to the W wave band, and the chip can be expanded to a higher sub-millimeter wave frequency band.
When the electromagnetic field is input, the electromagnetic field is coupled to a transition conversion structure vertically above through a standard WR-10 waveguide coupling window 4, and the electromagnetic field is transmitted to a chip microstrip from the waveguide coupling window 4, so that the interconnection from an input end to a chip is realized; when the electromagnetic field is output, the electromagnetic field is output from the micro-strip at the output end of the chip and then is transmitted to the waveguide coupling window 4 through the transition conversion structure from the micro-strip to the waveguide coupling window 4 for coupling output. By adopting a proper transition structure, such as a transition structure based on the substrate integrated waveguide vertical coupling cavity design, the vertical coupling input/output from the input/output waveguide coupling window 4 to the chip microstrip line can be realized, and the volume of the packaging structure is effectively reduced. The silicon wafer sealing cap with the groove 2 etched on the top layer and the base 3 are bonded together through a metal bonding process, and the whole structure is packaged to provide mechanical protection and electromagnetic shielding.
