Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and particularly relates to a capacitive switched-mode power supply converter packaging structure and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] To reduce the impedance of the power delivery network (PDN), improve the efficiency of the power network, and reduce the system power consumption, the integrated voltage regulator (IVR) technology has become a potential solution. The IVR technology can be divided into two technical routes: capacitive switched-mode power supply and inductive switched-mode power supply. However, since an inductor that meets the requirements of the IVR system cannot be integrated in the interposer of the 2.5D package, the current inductive switched-mode power supply can only integrate the inductor in the plastic package substrate, which not only occupies the area of the plastic package substrate, but also extends the power transmission path, increases the system power consumption, and affects the overall layout and wiring.
[0003] Although the switched-capacitor voltage regulator (SCVR) does not require the integration of an inductor, it also needs to solve the problem of capacitor embedding. The current capacitor solutions include: (1) mounting the capacitor on the bottom of the plastic package substrate. Although this solution can integrate a large-capacity capacitor, the power transmission path is long, resulting in a large system power consumption and unable to meet the requirements of advanced packaging; (2) embedding the capacitor inside the plastic package substrate or the 2.5D interposer. This solution will increase the processing difficulty and production cost; (3) integrating the capacitor inside the SoC (system-on-chip) chip. This solution will occupy the area of the SoC chip, making the chip too large in volume and affecting the chip design.
[0004] Therefore, a solution is needed that can package the capacitor and the capacitive switched-mode power supply converter together, reduce the volume of the packaging structure, and improve the integration degree of the packaging structure. Summary of the Invention

It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention, rather than limiting the present invention. Additionally, it should be noted that for the sake of description, only parts related to the present invention are shown in the drawings, rather than all structures.

[0095] To reduce the impedance of the power delivery network (PDN), improve the efficiency of the power network, and reduce the system power consumption, the integrated voltage regulator (IVR) technology has become a potential solution. The IVR technology can be divided into two technical routes: capacitive switched-mode power supply and inductive switched-mode power supply. However, since it is impossible to integrate an inductor that meets the requirements of the IVR system in the interposer of a 2.5D package, the current inductive switched-mode power supply can only integrate the inductor in the plastic package substrate, which not only occupies the area of the plastic package substrate but also extends the power transmission path, increases the system power consumption, and affects the overall layout and wiring.
[0096] Although the switched-capacitor voltage regulator (SCVR) does not require the integration of an inductor, it also needs to solve the problem of capacitor embedding. The current capacitor solutions include: (1) surface-mounting the capacitor at the bottom of the plastic package substrate. Although this solution can integrate a large-capacity capacitor, the power transmission path is long, resulting in a large system power consumption and unable to meet the requirements of advanced packaging; (2) embedding the capacitor inside the plastic package substrate or in the 2.5D interposer. This solution will increase the processing difficulty and production cost; (3) integrating the capacitor inside the SoC (system-on-chip) chip. This solution will occupy the area of the SoC chip, making the chip too large in volume and affecting the chip design.
[0097] Therefore, a solution is needed that can package the capacitor and the switched-capacitor voltage regulator together to reduce the volume of the packaging structure and improve the integration degree of the packaging structure.
[0098] As Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a capacitive switched-mode power supply converter package structure, and the capacitive switched-mode power supply converter package structure includes:
[0099] An IPD (Integrated Passive Device) wafer, including a plurality of DTC (Deep Trench Capacitor) chips 10 and a first dielectric layer 12 surrounding the DTC chips 10; each DTC chip 10 surface includes a plurality of first metal pads 11; the first metal pads 11 are exposed on the first surface of the IPD wafer;
[0100] An SCVR (Switched-Capacitor Voltage Regulator) layer, located on the first surface of the IPD wafer, and the SCVR layer includes at least one SCVR chip 20; the SCVR chip 20 includes a plurality of second metal pads 21 and a second dielectric layer 22 located on the side of the second metal pads 21, and the second metal pads 21 and the second dielectric layer 22 are located on one side surface of the SCVR layer facing the IPD wafer;
[0101] The IPD wafer and the SCVR layer are connected into an integral structure by hybrid bonding, wherein each SCVR chip 20 is connected to at least two DTC chips 10; the first dielectric layer 12 and the second dielectric layer 22 are in contact and bonded together, and the first metal pads 11 and the second metal pads 21 are in one-to-one correspondence and bonded together.
[0102] In specific implementation, the arrangement of the first metal pads 11 of the DTC chips 10 corresponds one-to-one to the arrangement of the second metal pads 21 of the respective relevant functional ports on the SCVR chips 20.
[0103] The capacitive switching power supply converter packaging structure provided in this embodiment integrates the IPD wafer containing the DTC chip 10 and the SCVR layer containing the SCVR chip 20 through hybrid bonding technology. Among them, the first dielectric layer 12 and the second dielectric layer 22 are in contact and bonded together, and the first metal pads 11 of the DTC chip 10 and the second metal pads 21 of the SCVR chip 20 are in one-to-one contact and bonded together. On the one hand, since the volume of the DTC chip 10 is small, the occupied area of the DTC capacitor in the capacitive switching power supply converter packaging structure can be reduced, the integration degree of the packaging structure can be improved, so that the integrated packaging structure has a small volume and a height as low as the micron level. At the same time, the cost can be reduced. On the other hand, the bonding interface of the packaging structure formed by hybrid bonding has strong bonding properties and less heat generation, which has little impact on the system heat dissipation. It can improve the stability and reliability of the packaging structure. At the same time, it can also shorten the power transmission path, reduce the system power consumption, and thus improve the performance of the capacitive switching power supply converter. On the third hand, the thermal expansion coefficient of the packaging structure matches that of the 2.5D packaging, so that the packaging structure can be integrated into the 2.5D packaging or used alone, improving the application scenarios and application flexibility of the capacitive switching power supply converter packaging structure. Therefore, the capacitive switching power supply converter packaging structure provided in this embodiment can reduce the occupied area of the DTC capacitor, and further reduce the height and volume of the capacitive switching power supply converter packaging structure, improve the integration degree of the packaging structure, reduce the cost, and can also improve the stability and reliability of the packaging structure, improve the performance of the capacitive switching power supply converter, and improve the application scenarios and application flexibility of the capacitive switching power supply converter packaging structure.

[0107] In specific implementation, the first metal pads 11 of the DTC chip 10 are in one-to-one contact and bonded to the second metal pads 21 of the SCVR chip 20. The first metal lead 51 is connected to the second metal pad 21 by connecting to the first metal pad 11. The first metal lead 51 is used to lead out the relevant control signals of the SCVR chip 20 and the first metal pad 11 of the SCVR chip 20. The metal bumps 40 include but are not limited to Solder ball (solder ball), Bump (bump), and uBump (micro bump).
