Background
The system-in-package is a method for integrating a plurality of electronic components with different functions, including active chips, passive devices, micro-electro-mechanical systems and the like, into a package body to form a single standard package component. In order to improve the integration level, the stacking technology is an important means for realizing miniaturization, high density, high-speed interconnection, multifunctional integration and the like, but the stacking packaging technology has many defects while the system integration level is greatly increased and the system functionality is improved.
On one hand, the currently designed stacked package assembly adopts an i-shaped structure, although the packaging efficiency is high, the structure causes the ceramic material to generate large bending in the sintering process, and the production yield is difficult to control, for example, patent No. (CN112466864A) a three-dimensional stacked microwave assembly based on high-temperature co-fired ceramic.
On the other hand, the method of stacking and assembling ceramic substrates first and then packaging with a metal shell is adopted, although the assembly reliability is good, the volume of the packaged structural member is large, and the radio frequency active circuit chip which needs a cavity design is difficult to package, for example, a thin film ceramic circuit three-dimensional stacking structure of patent number (CN 107275317 a).
