Abstract
Wafer-level packaging structure is provided. First chips are bonded to the device wafer. A first encapsulation layer is formed on the device wafer, covering the first chips. The first chip includes: a chip front surface with a formed first pad, facing the device wafer; and a chip back surface opposite to the chip front surface. A first opening is formed in the first encapsulation layer to expose at least one first chip having an exposed chip back surface for receiving a loading signal. A metal layer structure is formed covering the at least one first chip, a bottom and sidewalls of the first opening, and the first encapsulation layer, followed by an alloying treatment on the chip back surface and the metal layer structure to form a back metal layer on the chip back surface.
Claims7
The wafer-level packaging structure, comprising:
- a device wafer;
- a plurality of first chips, bonded to the device wafer, wherein the first chip of the plurality of first chips includes a chip front surface with a formed first pad and a chip back surface opposite to the chip front surface, and the chip front surface faces the device wafer;
- a first encapsulation layer, formed on the device wafer and covering the first chips, wherein the first encapsulation layer has a first opening exposing at least one first chip of the plurality of first chips and the chip back surface exposed by the first opening is connected to a loading signal;
- a metal layer structure, covering the at least one first chip exposed by the first opening, a bottom and sidewalls of the first opening and a top of the first encapsulation layer, wherein the metal layer structure includes a back metal layer alloyed with the chip back surface by an alloying treatment between the chip back surface and a portion of the metal layer structure on the chip back surface;
- and
- a second encapsulation layer, formed in the first opening, covering the back metal layer, and further covering the metal layer structure on the top of the first encapsulation layer.
