Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of semiconductor packaging, and particularly relates to a multi-layer stacked memory packaging method and packaging structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] For enterprise-level applications such as data centers, high-capacity high-speed storage is necessary. To meet this demand, high-bandwidth memory (HBM) has emerged. As shown in FIG. 1, HBM uses through silicon vias (TSVs) 12 to vertically interconnect several memory chips 11, and interacts with the outside world through a bottom buffer chip 10. Due to the high density and short vertical interconnection distance of TSVs, the data transmission speed is greatly improved. Figure 1

[0003] Currently, the multi-layer chip stacking of HBM adopts a thermal compression bonding (TCB) process. By rapidly heating, micro-bumps 14 are connected to the back pads 13 of the chips, and the back pads 13 of the chips are connected to the TSVs 12 of the chips. The composition of the micro-bumps 14 is mainly copper-tin structure, and the main component of the back pads 13 of the chips is nickel-gold structure. The final stacked structure is protected by a plastic encapsulation layer 15.

[0004] In the case of using copper-tin micro-bumps, due to the deformation of tin during reflow, in order to prevent short circuit between micro-bumps, the spacing between micro-bumps and the height of tin need to be strictly controlled. Currently, the spacing is more than 40 um. When the spacing is reduced to less than 25 um, due to the small amount of tin, it is fully converted to intermetallic compound under thermal load conditions, resulting in reliability failure.

[0005] In view of the above problems, it is necessary to provide a multi-layer stacked memory packaging method and packaging structure which is reasonable in design and can effectively solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0040] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0041] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 An aspect of the present application provides a multi-layer stacked memory packaging method S100, which comprises:

[0042] S110. A buffer chip, multiple dummy chips, and multiple first memory chips are provided. The dummy chips are provided with a slot, the buffer chips are provided with multiple first conductive vias, and the first memory chips are provided with multiple second conductive vias corresponding to the multiple first conductive vias.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 10 As shown, a buffer chip 110, multiple dummy chips 120, and multiple memory chips 130 are provided. The dummy chips 120 have grooves (not shown in the figure). The buffer chip 110 has multiple conductive vias 111. The first memory chip 130 has multiple second conductive vias 131 corresponding to the first conductive vias 111. Both the first conductive vias 111 and the second conductive vias 131 can be through-silicon vias (TSVs). Using TSV technology to achieve vertical electrical interconnection of TSVs reduces the package height.

[0044] S120. Each of the first memory chips is fixed in the slot of the corresponding dummy chip to form a plurality of memory micro-modules.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, each first memory chip 130 is fixed in the slot of the corresponding dummy chip 120 to form multiple memory micro-modules 140. It should be noted that the size of the slot is slightly larger than the size of the first memory chip 130, and the depth of the slot is less than the height of the first memory chip 130. That is to say, the surface of the first memory chip 130 protrudes from the surface of the dummy chip 120.

[0046] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, a first passivation layer 132 and a first metal pad 133 are disposed on the first surface of the first memory chip 130, and a second passivation layer 134 and a second metal pad 135 are disposed on the second surface of the first memory chip 130. In this embodiment, the first surface of the first memory chip 130 is the back side, and the second surface of the first memory chip 130 is the front side. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the materials of the first passivation layer 132 and the second passivation layer 134 can both be silicon dioxide or silicon nitride, and the first metal pad 133 and the second metal pad 135 can be copper pads.

[0047] Each of the first memory chips is fixed in the slot of the corresponding dummy chip to form multiple memory micro-modules, and the process further includes the following steps:

[0050] Secondly, a second adhesive is formed on the surface of the dummy chip and the second surface of the first memory chip, and a portion of the second adhesive fills the gap between the sidewall of the tank and the first memory chip.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, a second adhesive 160 is formed on the surface of the dummy chip 120 and the front side of the first memory chip 130, and a portion of the second adhesive 160 fills the gap between the side wall of the tank and the first memory chip 130, further fixing the first memory chip 130 in the tank.

[0052] Next, the second adhesive on the second surface of the first memory chip is removed to expose the second passivation layer and the second metal pad.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second surfaces of the dummy die 120 and the first memory chip 130 are polished and chemically cleaned to completely remove the second adhesive 160 from the second surface of the first memory chip 130, exposing the second passivation layer 134 and the second metal pad 135. Simultaneously, a portion of the second adhesive 160 on the surface of the dummy die 120 is retained; in this embodiment, the retained second adhesive 160 on the surface of the dummy die 120 is flush with the second passivation layer.

[0054] Finally, the first adhesive on the first surface of the first memory chip is removed to expose the first passivation layer and the first metal pad, forming the memory micromodule.
