Problems solved by technology

[0007] In the existing three-dimensional integrated circuits, the micro-channel structure is mainly made of silicon material, and the cross-section of the channel is rectangular; due to the small contact area between the liquid and the channel wall, the thermal conductivity of silicon is low, resulting in low heat dissipation capacity
It is necessary to increase the height of the micro-channel to achieve heat dissipation, which will inevitably increase the thickness of the chip. Because in a three-dimensional integrated circuit, the vertical through-silicon via TSV depth ratio must be within a certain range. In order to meet the requirements of the depth ratio , due to the existence of micro-channels, the thickness of the chip increases, and the diameter of the vertical through-silicon via TSV increases, so that the vertical through-silicon via TSV occupies a larger silicon area, which affects the electrical performance of the chip
