As
the demand for artificial intelligence computing power grows
exponentially, AI chip packaging technology is facing severe challenges.
The increasingly complex internal circuit structures of chips place
nearly 苛刻 requirements on the purity, fluidity, and moisture resistance
of packaging materials. Recently, a domestic new materials enterprise
has successfully developed "Electronic-Grade High-Purity Fluorosilicone
Gel." With metal ion content below 1ppm (part per million), it achieves
excellent damp heat resistance while maintaining ultra-low viscosity,
providing a reliable domestic solution for packaging 3nm and below
advanced process chips.
According
to the R&D team, AI chips typically employ flip-chip or 2.5D/3D
packaging technologies, where the gap between the chip and the substrate
is merely microns. This requires the packaging material (underfill) to
possess extremely low viscosity to rapidly fill microscopic gaps via
capillary action. However, traditional epoxy materials are prone to the
"popcorn effect" (internal moisture expanding under heat causing
cracking) after absorbing moisture, while ordinary silicone materials
suffer from insufficient chemical resistance.
The
newly released fluorosilicone gel perfectly balances "fluidity" and
"reliability" by introducing fluorine-containing side chains and a
special catalytic curing system. The fluorine atoms in its molecular
structure endow the material with extremely low surface energy, allowing
it to easily wet complex chip surfaces; while the siloxane backbone
ensures thermal stability within the range of -50°C to 200°C. More
critically, the team's proprietary "ion trapping technology" can
effectively adsorb and immobilize trace metal ions remaining in the
material, preventing their migration from causing short circuits in chip
circuits.
In
rigorous double-85 testing (85°C, 85% humidity), AI chips encapsulated
with this gel showed no delamination, cracking, or electrical
performance degradation after continuous operation for 2,000 hours.
Currently, the product has been validated by several leading domestic
packaging and testing enterprises and is expected to enter mass
production in the third quarter of 2026. This will fill the gap in
China's high-end chip packaging materials field and safeguard the
autonomy and controllability of domestic AI chips.
