It will be apparent that the described embodiments are only some, but not all, of the embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention.
Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary only for explaining the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
For purposes of illustration, terms such as "upper," "lower," "rear," "front," and the like, are used herein to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element or feature as illustrated in the figures. The term spatially relative position may include different orientations of the device in use or operation than that illustrated in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as "below" or "over" other elements or features would then be oriented "below" or "over" the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both a spatial orientation of below and above.
As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides an antenna package structure, which includes at least one antenna substrate 1 and a circuit substrate 2, wherein the antenna substrate 1 is disposed above the circuit substrate 2, and an input antenna is disposed in the antenna substrate 1.
The antenna substrate 1 and the circuit substrate 2 are fixed through the supporting piece 3, and the supporting piece 3 is a tin ball and/or a nuclear ball 31 and/or solidified glue 32. In this embodiment, the intermediate position of the upper surface of the circuit substrate 2 is used for fixing the antenna substrate 1 and the circuit substrate 2 by adhesive dispensing, and the solder balls and/or the core balls 31 with the same height as the cured glue 32 are welded at the two ends of the upper surface of the circuit substrate 2, so that the antenna substrate 1 and the circuit substrate 2 are welded together, and the surface plane of the antenna substrate 1 is ensured to be at the same height.
Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the metal posts and glue with the same height may be disposed on the upper surface of the circuit substrate 2 to fix the antenna substrate 1, and the fixing manner between the antenna substrate 1 and the circuit substrate 2 is not limited in the present invention, and only the plane of the antenna substrate 1 fixed above the circuit substrate 2 is required to be at the same height, and signal transmission between the two is not affected.
In particular, the distance between the antenna substrate 1 and the wiring substrate 2, i.e., the antenna cavity height, can be controlled by controlling the height of the support 3. Whereas the antenna cavity height is related to the input antenna frequency provided in the antenna substrate 1, the higher the frequency of the input antenna, the lower the antenna cavity height.
Furthermore, the antenna package structure in this embodiment further includes a film layer 4, where the film layer 4 completely covers the upper surface and the sidewall of the antenna substrate 1, and extends to the upper surface of the circuit substrate 2 along the sidewall of the antenna substrate 1, and a closed cavity 5 is defined between the film layer 4 and the lower surface of the antenna substrate 1 and the upper surface of the circuit substrate 2.

Specifically, the thickness of the thin film layer 4 is greater than 40 μm, the dielectric constant is less than 3.5, and the dielectric loss is less than 0.006, so as to reduce the loss of signal transmission.
Here, the thicker the thin film layer 4 is, the higher the manufacturing cost is, and the corresponding dielectric constant and dielectric loss are increased, and the thinner the thin film layer 4 is, the higher the requirements on the manufacturing process are, and the problem that the thin film is easy to break in the manufacturing process is solved. Therefore, in practical application, the thickness of the thin film layer 4 can be specifically set according to the process means and cost consideration, and only needs to ensure that the dielectric constant is less than 3.5 and the dielectric loss is less than 0.006.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, in the embodiment 2 of the present invention, unlike the structure in the embodiment 1, in this embodiment, a plurality of beam bumps 9 are formed on the upper surface of the antenna substrate 1 corresponding to the input antenna, and the beam bumps 9 protrude upward along the antenna substrate 1, so as to achieve the effect of focusing and transmitting the antenna transmission signal.
Specifically, beam bumps 9 are formed at the corresponding positions of the input antenna 111 having the 28G frequency provided on the upper surface of the first antenna substrate 11, the input antenna 121 having the 40G frequency provided on the upper surface of the second antenna substrate 12, and the input antenna 131 having the 60G frequency provided on the upper surface of the third antenna substrate 13 shown in fig. 3, respectively. The beam convex points 9 are arranged at the positions of the input antennas, so that the directivity of the antenna signals of the antenna substrate can be enhanced, and mutual interference among different transmitted signals is avoided.

In order to facilitate the process, the included angle between the conical surface and the bottom surface of the conical structure is set to be less than 45 degrees, and the lens has a lens function. The manufacturing material of the beam bump 9 is an EMC material with high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss, specifically a composition of aluminum oxide and epoxy resin, the larger the dielectric constant of the manufacturing material of the beam bump 9 is, the higher the binding property of a material field is, and in order to further enhance Shu Boneng force of the beam bump 9, the specific manufacturing material of the beam bump 9 has the performance that the dielectric constant is more than 4 and the dielectric loss is less than 0.006.
The beam bump 9 forms a conical lens, and the included angle between the conical surface and the bottom surface of the conical structure is smaller than 45 degrees, so that the signal transmission loss can be reduced while the antenna transmission signal is focused and transmitted.
It is understood that, because of the process manufacturing error, it is difficult to form a standard cone structure at the top corner of the beam bump 9, and therefore, a structure in which the top corner of the beam bump 9 is rounded is also within the scope of the present invention.
In other embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, a base 91 is included at the bottom end of the beam bump 9 having a conical structure, so as to enhance the stability of the beam bump 9 on the surface of the antenna substrate, and the base 91 and the beam bump 9 are integrally formed and made of the same material.

In the present embodiment, the film layer 4 completely covers the upper surfaces of the beam bump 9, and the upper surfaces and sidewall surfaces of the first, second and third antenna substrates 11, 12 and 13 not covered by the beam bump 9, and extends to the upper surface of the circuit substrate 2 along the sidewall surfaces of the first, second and third antenna substrates 11, 12 and 13.

Specifically, the first closed cavity 51 has a height greater than that of the second closed cavity 52, and the second closed cavity 52 has a height greater than that of the third closed cavity.
The film layer 4 can simultaneously form a closed cavity structure between the antenna substrate and the circuit substrate 2 with different antenna cavity heights, so that the loss of signal transmission between the antenna substrate and the circuit substrate 2 can be effectively reduced, the cavity formed between the antenna substrate and the circuit substrate 2 is prevented from being completely exposed in the air, and the reliability of the antenna packaging structure is improved.
The material of the film layer 4 can be one or more organic polymer films composed of organic polymer materials such as ABF, epoxy resin and the like. Specifically, the thickness of the thin film layer 4 is greater than 40 μm, the dielectric constant is less than 3.5, and the dielectric loss is less than 0.006, so as to reduce the loss of signal transmission.
The antenna package structure in this embodiment specifically further includes a radio frequency chip 6 reversely disposed on the lower surface of the circuit substrate 2, a metal solder ball 7 for electrically connecting with an external circuit, and a plastic package body 8, and the specific structure arrangement is the same as that in embodiment 1, which is not repeated here.

In other embodiments of the present invention, the antenna substrates and the circuit substrate may be adhered and fixed together by punching and dispensing on the antenna substrates.
More specifically, since the antenna cavity height is related to the input antenna frequency provided in the antenna substrate, attention is paid to the spacing between the antenna substrate and the wiring substrate 2 for each different antenna frequency. In the present embodiment, the height of the solder ball and/or the core ball 31 and/or the glue 32 between the first antenna substrate 11 and the circuit substrate 2 is controlled to be larger than the height of the solder ball and/or the core ball 31 and/or the glue 32 between the second antenna substrate 12 and the circuit substrate 2, and the height of the solder ball and/or the core ball 31 and/or the glue 32 between the second antenna substrate 12 and the circuit substrate 2 is controlled to be larger than the height of the solder ball and/or the core ball 31 and/or the glue 32 between the third antenna substrate 13 and the circuit substrate 2, i.e., the space formed between the first antenna substrate 11 and the circuit substrate 2 is larger than the space formed between the second antenna substrate 12 and the circuit substrate 2, and the space formed between the second antenna substrate 12 and the circuit substrate 2 is larger than the space formed between the third antenna substrate 13 and the circuit substrate 2.

The material of the film layer 4 can be one or more organic polymer films formed by organic polymer materials such as ABF, epoxy resin and the like, the dielectric constant is less than 3.5, and the dielectric loss is less than 0.006, so as to reduce the loss of signal transmission.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 9 b, the film layer 4 forms a first sealed cavity 51 around the lower surface of the first antenna substrate 11 and the upper surface of the circuit substrate 2, the film layer 4 forms a second sealed cavity 52 around the lower surface of the second antenna substrate 12 and the upper surface of the circuit substrate 2, and the film layer 4 forms a third sealed cavity (not shown in the figure) around the lower surface of the third antenna substrate 13 and the upper surface of the circuit substrate 2. Of course, the first closed cavity 51 has a height greater than the second closed cavity 52, and the second closed cavity 52 has a height greater than the third closed cavity.

The invention is not limited to a specific manufacturing process of packaging the rf chip 6 on the lower surface of the circuit substrate 2, and the rf chip 6 may be soldered to the lower surface of the circuit substrate 2 by a conventional flip chip process. Of course, the welding part of the radio frequency chip 6 and the circuit substrate 2 is also filled with underfill, so that the problem that the welding part of the radio frequency chip 6 and the circuit substrate 2 is broken due to thermal stress or mechanical impact is prevented, and the bonding force between the two is enhanced.
The metal solder balls 7 are soldered to the lower surface of the wiring substrate 2 as shown in fig. 9 (c).
In order to realize the transmission of the antenna packaging structure and external signals, the lower surface of the circuit substrate 2 is welded with a metal solder ball 7 for realizing electric connection with an external circuit.
S61, plastic packaging the upper surface of the film layer 4 and the uncovered upper and lower surfaces of the circuit substrate 2, as shown in FIG. 9 (d).

For the convenience of process, the included angle between the conical surface and the bottom surface of the beam bump 9 forming a conical structure is usually smaller than 45 degrees, and the lens function is achieved. The manufacturing material of the beam bump 9 is an EMC material with high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss, specifically a composition of aluminum oxide and epoxy resin, the larger the dielectric constant of the manufacturing material of the beam bump 9 is, the higher the binding property of a material field is, and in order to further enhance Shu Boneng force of the beam bump 9, the specific manufacturing material of the beam bump 9 has the performance that the dielectric constant is more than 4 and the dielectric loss is less than 0.006.
The beam bump 9 is manufactured to form a conical lens, and the included angle between the conical surface and the bottom surface of the conical structure is smaller than 45 degrees, so that the antenna transmission signal can be focused and transmitted, and meanwhile, the loss of signal transmission can be reduced.
It can be understood that, because of the process manufacturing error, the vertex angle of the beam bump 9 is difficult to be made into a standard cone structure, and therefore, the structure that the vertex angle of the beam bump 9 is made into a rounded angle is also within the protection scope of the invention.
In other embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 11 (a 2), a base 91 is further formed at the bottom of the beam bump 9, so as to enhance the stability of the beam bump 9 on the surface of the antenna substrate, and the base 91 and the beam bump 9 are integrally formed and made of the same material.

And S32, forming a film layer 4 with the thickness of more than 40 mu m on the upper surfaces of the beam convex points 9, the upper surfaces and the side wall surfaces of the first antenna substrate 11, the second antenna substrate 12 and the third antenna substrate 13 which are not covered by the beam convex points 9 by utilizing a film pressing process, wherein the film layer 4 extends to the upper surface of the circuit substrate 2 along the side wall surfaces of the first antenna substrate 11, the second antenna substrate 12 and the third antenna substrate 13, and a closed cavity 5 is formed between the film layer 4 and the lower surfaces of the first antenna substrate 11, the second antenna substrate 12 and the third antenna substrate 13 and the upper surface of the circuit substrate 2.
Similarly, the material of the thin film layer 4 can be an organic polymer film made of one or more of organic polymer materials such as ABF, epoxy resin and the like, and the dielectric constant is less than 3.5, and the dielectric loss is less than 0.006, so that the loss of signal transmission is reduced.
The film pressing process is described based on the structure in fig. 11 (a 1), as shown in fig. 11 (b), the film layer 4 forms a first sealed cavity 51 around the lower surface of the first antenna substrate 11 and the upper surface of the circuit substrate 2, the film layer 4 forms a second sealed cavity 52 around the lower surface of the second antenna substrate 12 and the upper surface of the circuit substrate 2, and the film layer 4 forms a third sealed cavity (not shown in the drawing) around the lower surface of the third antenna substrate 13 and the upper surface of the circuit substrate 2. Of course, the first closed cavity 51 has a height greater than the second closed cavity 52, and the second closed cavity 52 has a height greater than the third closed cavity.
The steps of other manufacturing methods are the same as those of the structure manufacturing method in embodiment 1, and are not repeated here, and the specific manufacturing process is shown in fig. 11 (a 1) to 11 (d).
In summary, the invention forms a thin film layer on the surface of the antenna substrate, and a closed cavity is defined between the thin film layer and the lower surface of the antenna substrate and the upper surface of the circuit substrate, so that the loss of signal transmission caused by filling of plastic packaging material between the circuit substrate and the antenna substrate is reduced, and meanwhile, the signal transmission cavity between the circuit substrate and the antenna substrate is prevented from being completely exposed in the air, thereby improving the reliability of the antenna packaging structure. In addition, a plurality of beam convex points are formed at the position where the antenna is arranged on the surface of the antenna substrate to emit, so that the directivity of the signal emission of the antenna substrate is enhanced, and the mutual interference of the signals emitted by different antennas is avoided.
