Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of stacking silicon structures and also to a device for this purpose.
- HDMI High Density Interconnect
- MCM Multi Chip Modules
- 3D Packaging three dimensional packaging
- the conventional technique for 3D packaging of silicon substrates i.e. silicon plates that carry one or more electronic circuits, either involves an intermediate layer of an organic material between the silicon substrates, said intermediate layer being poorly adapted to the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of the silicon substrates.
- organic intermediate layers carry a low density of conductors, or no conductors at all. This solution also results in poor impedance matching between the circuits, which, in turn, results in poor signal matching.
- So-called PCB board (Printed Circuit Boards) also include a number of superposed electrically conductive layers, which can be connected to each other by means of vias. Such boards are, however, expensive.
- the present invention provides a solution to these problems and makes significant advances in the endeavour to produce small multicircuit units with a high degree of integration.
- the present invention relates to a method of mutually superposing silicon structures which include an intermediate layer between two mutually adjacent silicon structures, and is characterised by the steps of providing said intermediate layer in the form of a silicon substrate, by providing said silicon substrate with a pattern of conductors, and by connecting the silicon substrates on both sides of an intermediate layer by virtue of connecting respective silicon structures with the conductor pattern of the intermediate layer.
- the invention also relates to an arrangement of the kind defined in Claim 7 and having the principle features set forth therein.
- FIG. 2 illustrates an example of a module in which the present invention is applied
- FIG. 3 is a perspective, partially cut-away view of a module according to Figure 2; and - Figure 4 is a schematic sectional view of a lead frame package that includes a mounting plate.
- Figure 1 is an illustration of known technology where two silicon substrates 21, 22 are superposed on a PCB board 23. Connection points 24 on the board and on the substrates are connected to one another by bond wires 25, 26. It will be evident that certain bond wires will be extremely long, resulting in impaired signal quality.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a 3D-packaged module in accordance with the invention.
- This module includes an electronic circuit in the form of a bottom silicon substrate 3, which rests on a BGA laminate 4.
- a top silicon substrate 6 that includes an electronic circuit.
- an intermediate layer 2 Located between these silicon substrates is an intermediate layer 2, which may have the form of a silicon substrate in accordance with the present invention.
- the silicon substrate 2 is provided with a conductor pattern 1.
- the silicon substrates 3, 6 on respective sides of the intermediate layer 2 are interconnected by virtue of being connected to the conductor pattern 1 of the intermediate layer 2.
- the silicon substrates may contain processors, memories, different types of chips, etc.
- the bottom silicon substrate 3 in a substrate pile 3, 6 is in abutment with a terminal-carrying board 4.
- said board is a so called PCB board 4.
- the printed circuit board 4 is provided with terminals in the form of so called BGA balls 12 which are connected to electrically conductive layers and connection points 8 by means of vias routed in the printed circuit board 4, on that side of said PCB board with which the silicon substrate 3 is in abutment.
- the numeral 8 identifies connection points on the BGA laminate 4
- the numeral 9 identifies connection points on the bottom silicon substrate 3
- the numeral 10 identifies connection points on the intermediate layer 2
- the numeral 11 identifies connection points on the top silicon substrate.
- the numeral 12 identifies the BGA balls.
- the numeral 7 identifies a moulded plastic top cover.
- connection between the silicon substrates 3, 6 and the intermediate layer 1 is effected with the aid of so called bond wires 5 routed between relevant connection points 9, 10, 11.
- the signals from a mother board not shown are applied to the bottom silicon substrate 3 via the BGA balls, and to the connection points 8 through vias in the BGA laminate.
- Bond wires 5 are routed from the connection points 8 to the points 9 on the bottom silicon substrate 3.
- Bond wires 5 extend from the points 9 on the bottom silicon substrate 3 to a connection point 10 on the intermediate layer 1.
- the left-hand point 10 in Figure 2 is connected to the right-hand point 10 in said figure via a conductor network formed on the intermediate layer 1 by means of thin film technique ' .
- the right-hand point 10 is connected to the point 11 on the top silicon substrate 6 by means of a bond wire 5.
- a corresponding connection between the BGA laminate and the two silicon substrates is shown to the right in Figure 2. It is pointed out that the connections in Figure 2 illustrate solely how the connection is achieved. Many connections may be included.
- Figure 2 illustrates the technique of connecting silicon substrates together through the medium of an intermediate layer 1 provided with a conductor pattern.
- the dimensions of the silicon substrates 3,6 in a stack of silicon substrates 3, 6 with intermediate layers 1 are caused to be smaller with the increase in the height of the stack from the board 4 on which the silicon substrate is located, where the dimensions of the intermediate layers 1 are caused to lie between the dimensions of respective top and bottom silicon substrates that sandwich said intermediate layer, so as to enable said intermediate layers 1 to be provided with connection points 8 on the free surface of the intermediate layers.
- Figure 2 shows only two silicon substrates, it will be understood that a plurality of silicon substrates with intermediate layers therebetween can be stacked one upon the other, where each intermediate layer has a free surface on which connection points are found.
- intermediate layers provided with conductor patterns results in bond wires that are shorter than those used with conventional techniques. This enhances signal quality, due to the fact that the bond wires are unable to emit and take-up electromagnetic waves equally as readily as when they are longer. Because the intermediate layer is comprised of silicon, it has the same coefficient of linear expansion as the circuits or silicon substrates, therewith avoiding mechanical-thermic stresses. Moreover, the intermediate layer is electrically insulating.
- the intermediate layers provided with conductor patterns in accordance with the invention can also be produced and mounted relatively cheaply with the aid of those techniques used to produce the silicon substrates.
- Figure 4 illustrates a module in the form of a capsule that includes a lead frame and a mounting plate and in which the invention has been applied.
- the module is ready for connection, e.g., to a motherboard.
- the numeral 13 identifies existing intermediate layers
- the numeral 14 identifies the bottom silicon substrate
- the numeral 15 illustrates the top silicon substratet
- the numeral 16 illustrates the mounting plate (lead frame paddle) which, e.g., is a copper plate or some other appropriate plate or board
- the numeral 17 identifies terminals
- the numeral 18 identifies a moulded plastic cap.
- the numeral 19 identifies bond wires and the numeral 20 identifies the conductor pattern on the intermediate layer.
