Wafer-Level Packaging-Surface Acoustic Wave Process Based on Silicon Caps
In this study,a wafer-level packaging(WLP)process for surface acoustic wave(SAW)filters,based on silicon cap bonding technology,is developed to meet the stringent requirements for hermeticity,mechanical strength,and thermal performance in high-frequency communication systems. A packaging structure with superior hermeticity,thermal dissipation,and reliability is formed by optimizing the deep silicon etching process of through-silicon via(TSV)holes and the LT layer etching process,followed by depositing an SiO2 passivation layer using the low-temperature plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method(PECVD). Reliability tests demonstrate that the silicon-cap-bonded WLP exhibits a frequency drift of only 2M to 2.5M(B40 band)after unbiased highly accelerated stress testing(uHAST),significantly outperforming traditional polyimide-based WLP(5M to 6M). This process provides robust technical support for high-performance wafer-level packaging of SAW filters.
