The present invention discloses an SOC PMUT suitable for high-density system integration, an array chip and a manufacturing method thereof. With the SOC PMUT suitable for high-density system integration, vertical stacking and monolithic integration of a SOC PMUT array with CMOS auxiliary circuits is realized by means of direct bonding of active wafers and a vertical multi-channel metal wiring structure; in addition, the extension to the package layer is implemented by means of TSVs, without any bonding mini-pad on the periphery of the array for communication with the CMOS. Thus, the bottleneck of metal interconnections in conventional ultrasonic transducers is overcome, the chip area occupied by metal interconnections in ultrasonic transducers is greatly reduced, the metal wiring length is reduced, thus the resulting adverse effects of an electrical parasitic effect on the performance of the ultrasonic transducer array are reduced.

The present disclosure describes a process for making a three-dimensional (3D) package, which starts with providing a mold precursor module that includes a first device die and a floor connectivity die (FCD) encapsulated by a mold compound. The FCD includes a sacrificial die body and multiple floor interconnections underneath the sacrificial die body. Next, the mold compound is thinned down until the sacrificial die body of the FCD is completely consumed, such that each floor interconnection is exposed through the mold compound. The thinning down step does not affect a device layer in the first device die. A second device die, which includes a die body and multiple electrical die interconnections, is then mounted over the exposed floor interconnections. Herein, each electrical die interconnection is vertically aligned with and electrically connected to a corresponding floor interconnection from the FCD.
