Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a wafer packaging method and structure thereof, and more particularly to an inkjet chip package method and structure thereof. [Prior Art] The ink jet head is a key component of the ink jet printer. As the requirements for print quality and resolution continue to increase, there is an increasing demand for reliability, orifice density, and small size of ink-jet chip package components. Therefore, the requirements for inkjet chip package and bonding technology are becoming more and more demanding. Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of an ink jet head according to U.S. Patent Publication No. 5,420,627, which discloses an ink jet cassette designed by HP's edge feed, which is widely used for wide-format printers ( Wide format printer ), commercial and desktop printers. An advantage of this ink jet head 100 is that the ink flow has a good cooling effect on the heated wafer 128, and the ink flow supplies a plurality of ink droplet generating chambers along the two long edges. The heated wafer 128 is adhered to a soft plate member 118 aligned with the arcuate laser cut nozzle. The resilient flexible panel member 118 also carries a gold finger for automatic tape joining and is electrically connected to the pad on the short edge of the heater wafer 128. However, the orifices on the flexible plate member 118 require the use of excimer laser boring holes, which are expensive and require precise control of the laser beam alignment.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One object of the present invention is to provide an ink jet head wafer packaging method and structure thereof, which eliminates the need for expensive excimer laser equipment and is effective in reducing costs. In order to achieve the above object, an ink jet head wafer packaging method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps: forming a nozzle structure of a printing element by a micromachining process, comprising providing an ink cavity layer; and forming an ink hole layer On the ink chamber layer, wherein a plurality of inkjet through holes are penetrated through the ink hole layer, and the ink jet through holes are interpenetrated with one of the ink chamber layers; and an automatic bonding process using a tape is included; The flexible board is disposed on the ink hole layer, wherein the soft board has at least one opening for exposing the ink jet through hole; and a wafer is disposed under the ink cavity layer. According to still another embodiment of the present invention, a nozzle chip package structure includes: a nozzle structure of a printing element, comprising an ink chamber layer and an ink hole layer disposed on the ink cavity layer, wherein the plurality of inkjet through holes are Through the ink hole layer, and the ink jet through hole and the ink chamber of the ink chamber layer penetrate each other; a soft plate is disposed on the ink hole layer, wherein the soft plate has at least one opening for exposing the ink jet through hole; The wafer is disposed under the ink cavity layer. [Embodiment] Figs. 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, and 2E are schematic cross-sectional views showing an embodiment of an ink jet head chip packaging method according to the present invention. First, please refer to the first 2D is the ink-jet head wafer package structure of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the package structure of the ink-jet head wafer includes a nozzle structure of a printing element. The nozzle structure includes an ink chamber layer, a nozzle base layer 20 and a nozzle layer 30 (nozzle layer). Among them, the ink base layer 20 can be set as needed. A plurality of nozzle through holes 32 extend through the ink base layer 20 and the ink hole layer 30 and penetrate the ink chamber 12 of one of the ink chamber layers 10 1309998'. A flexible board 40 is disposed on the ink aperture layer 30. The flexible board 40 has at least one opening 42 which is aligned with the ink ejection aperture 32 and exposes all of the ink ejection apertures 32. A wafer 50 is disposed under the ink chamber layer 10. Following the above description, the present invention will be described in detail with respect to the method of encapsulating the ink-jet head wafer by the micro-machining process and the tape-and-tape automatic bonding process. Please refer to Figs. 2A to 2E. First, as shown in Fig. 2A, an ink layer 10 is formed by chemical deposition or physical deposition, and an ink chamber 12 is formed in the ink chamber layer 10 via a lithography process. Next, as shown in Fig. 2B, an ink base layer 20 is formed on the ink chamber layer 10 by deposition and an ink hole layer 30 is formed on the ink hole base layer 20. Thereafter, referring to FIG. 2C, the ink hole layer 30 and the ink hole base layer 20 are etched by a dry etching method to form a nozzle structure of the printing element after the plurality of ink ejection through holes 32 pass through the ink chamber 12 of the ink chamber layer 10. . Continuing to refer to FIG. 2D, a soft board 40 is disposed on the ink hole layer 30 by a tape automatic bonding (TAB) process, and the opening 42 of the soft board 40 is aligned with the ink ejection via 32 and exposes all Inkjet through hole 32. Next, a wafer 50 is placed under the ink chamber layer 10. The wafer 50 and the flexible board 40 are electrically connected. Further, an adhesive layer (not shown) is disposed on the ink hole layer 30 for adhering the soft board 40, and the adhesive layer is formed on the ink hole φ layer 40 by dispensing. Finally, the adhesive layer is cured by a heating process to complete the bonding. Referring to the ink-jet head wafer package structure of the present invention in Fig. 2E, an ink channel 14 is formed at the same time when the ink chamber 12 of the ink chamber layer 10 is formed. The ink channel 14 is used to pass through the ink chamber 12 and the ink supply region 16 of the printing element, and is an edge-feeding ink jet head structure. In addition, near the ink ejection opening 32, near the ink chamber 12, the edge of the ink ejection through hole 32 can be rounded (not marked) by wet etching to make the ink feeding smoother. 3A and 3B are a front view and a cross-sectional view showing an embodiment of an ink jet head chip package structure according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3A, first, the soft 1309998, the opening 42 on the board 40 is not limited. The number and shape need only match the pair of soft plates 40: The positional engagement exposes the ink ejection through holes 32. In addition, the shape, number and arrangement of the ink jet through holes 32 are not limited, depending on the different printing effects of different printers. Following the above description, as shown in FIG. 3B, in the ink-jet chip package structure of the present invention, the ink-jet via 32 is formed by a micro-machining process, such as a semiconductor process, and the package of the upper-layer soft board 40 of the ink-jet via 32 is formed. The precision of the alignment can be reduced to 30 to 100 microns, and the precision of the holes and the soft plates need not be less than 0.5 micrometers as is conventional. Compared with the prior art, the use of the ink hole base layer 20 and the ink hole layer 30 between the soft board 40 and the wafer 50 is increased, so that a gap is added between the soft board 40, the ink reservoir 60_, and the ink base layer 20 and the ink hole layer 30. The ink accommodation space is about 50 microns, which increases the pressure of the edge feed ink and makes the ink discharge of the ink jet head more uniform. The feature of the present invention is that the nozzle structure of the printing element is produced by the micromachining method, which not only reduces the material cost but also has the advantages of being easy to manufacture, thereby achieving the effect of being inexpensive. In addition, the use of a flexible tape for encapsulation by the tape automated bonding process effectively overcomes the need for high precision packaging and is expensive. In summary, the present invention can effectively reduce the precision required for packaging and reduce the fabrication of ink flow holes, and the structure can increase the ink storage space without using expensive excimer laser devices to effectively reduce the manufacturing cost. The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of the technical spirit and the features of the present invention, and the objects of the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art, and the scope of the present invention cannot be limited thereto. That is, the equivalent variations or modifications made by the spirit of the present invention should still be included in the scope of the present invention. 8 1309998 [Simple description of the drawings] Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the structure of an ink jet head of U.S. Patent Publication No. 5,420,627. 2A and 2B.
