Abstract

The material designs of the Si interposers are optimized for a 3D RF module. The high resistivity Si wafers are used for the Si interposer fabrication: 1,000 ω·cm ∼ 10,000 ω·cm. To reduce the capacitance and mechanical stress between Cufilled TSV and Si substrate, a polyimide insulation layer is applied as a TSV liner. We designs several types of the transmission line structures and measures their electrical properties. For the 3D interconnection between the Si interposers, fluxing underfill material is developed and used as a pre-applied underfill for the thermocompression bonding process. With these optimizations of materials design of the Si interposers, the microstrip line shows the electrical loss of 0.065 dB/mm at 10 GHz, and the insertion loss of the vertical transition is 0.4 dB at 10 GHz.
