[0002] In recent years, with the continuous advancement of chip technology, EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) testing has become increasingly important for large appliances and machinery, such as home appliances, automotive components, and industrial control systems, to ensure proper operation. Surge testing, a key parameter within EMC testing, is also crucial. Surge refers to the powerful pulse generated at the moment the power is turned on. This pulse can be higher than the power supply's own pulse due to inherent circuit nonlinearity, or can be caused by internal or external spikes in the power supply or other circuit components. This surge can easily cause circuit failure.

[0003] Ordinary MCU (Microcontroller Unit) processes can only guarantee that overvoltages below 10 volts will not cause damage. However, if the high-speed overvoltage ripple exceeds 10 volts, the wafer fab cannot guarantee performance.

[0004] In related technologies, if the overvoltage exceeds 10 volts, additional circuit design is generally required to protect the circuit to prevent a short circuit between the power supply and the ground, which would affect the normal operation of the equipment. However, this method requires secondary design of the chip and the setting of additional modules to protect the chip, which greatly increases the control cost of the chip. Summary of the Invention

Thus, by optimizing the wire bonding method and utilizing the redundant IO ports on the chip, the chip packaging method optimizes the packaging by bonding the pads of these IO ports to the power supply or ground, thereby enhancing surge and overvoltage resistance testing. This improves surge performance without requiring additional area or circuit processing, reaching the highest industry standards, significantly extending the chip's service life, and reducing chip protection costs.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present invention, the upper bridge driver transistor is a PMOS (Positive channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor) transistor, and the lower bridge driver transistor is an NMOS (Negative channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor) transistor.

[0013] To achieve the above-mentioned object, a second embodiment of the present invention provides a chip, which is formed by executing the chip packaging method of the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0033] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0034] The chip packaging method, the chip electrostatic clamping device, and the chip according to the embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Currently, large electrical equipment such as home appliances, automotive components, and industrial control systems require performance testing, as performance testing of all aspects of a device is often an important basis for determining its stability. For example, EMC testing is a key test item, and surge testing, a key parameter within EMC testing, is also very important. Surge testing involves applying a large ripple voltage to the power supply or ground while the DUT (Device Under Test) is operating normally. For example, a 4.5kV surge standard is required. Conventional MCU processes can only guarantee that overvoltages below 10V will not cause damage. However, if the overvoltage ripple far exceeds 10V, the silicon manufacturer cannot guarantee performance. Therefore, without additional processing, overvoltage damage can easily occur within the chip, and the most common damage is a short circuit between the power supply and ground. The chip packaging method of the present invention improves EMC surge performance by optimizing the wiring method. It utilizes some redundant IO ports on the chip and optimizes the packaging. The pads of the IO ports are wired to the power supply or ground, thereby strengthening the surge and overvoltage resistance test. The surge performance can be improved without the need for additional area or circuit processing, reaching the highest standards in the industry, greatly improving the service life of the chip, and reducing the protection cost of the chip.

[0036] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a chip packaging method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention proposes a chip packaging method, which includes the following steps:

[0038] S10, determining redundant IO ports on the chip.

[0039] Specifically, the chip packaging method of an embodiment of the present invention is applicable to chips that include an internal electrostatic clamping circuit. This electrostatic clamping circuit can be positioned between a power line and a ground line, and the electrostatic clamping circuit includes a discharge switch transistor for discharging high currents to ground to prevent the high currents from interfering with the normal operation of the chip device. It is understood that the redundant IO ports on the chip in this embodiment can be redundant GPIOs (General Purpose Input / Output). Generally speaking, during use, chips often have some unused functions, resulting in some unused pads being left floating. Analysis of most chips shows that during the chip design process, a number of redundant IO ports are often included as backup. In this embodiment, the number of redundant IO ports on the chip can be determined based on the specific application scenario of the chip. It is understood that the number of redundant IO ports on the same chip can be different or the same in different application scenarios.

[0040] S20, performing wire bonding packaging on the pads of at least some of the redundant IO ports, so that the driving transistors corresponding to at least some of the IO ports and the discharge switch transistors in the electrostatic clamping circuit are connected in parallel between the power pin and the ground pin of the chip.

[0041] Figure 2 : This is a circuit diagram of an electrostatic clamping circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention. After analyzing an example of surge test failure, it is found that the failure points are mainly concentrated at the connection point of the discharge switch tube M0. Therefore, it can be clearly seen that this failure point is caused by the insufficient ability of the discharge switch tube M0 in the electrostatic clamping circuit 10 to release high voltage. Therefore, if the burden of the discharge switch tube M0 releasing high voltage is reduced, or the size of the discharge switch tube M0 is increased to improve the ability of the discharge switch tube M0 to release high voltage, the problem can be solved.

[0042] It should be noted that Figure 2 The trigger unit 11 in the circuit can be an RC clam (resistance-capacitance electrostatic clamp circuit). In the surge test, when a surge signal is provided to the power line, a high-speed overvoltage ripple EOS (Electrical Overstress) signal can be generated on the external power line. The EOS signal is generally at a speed of nanoseconds. The RC clam circuit will still function to generate a pulse input to the control end of the discharge switch tube M0, thereby turning on the discharge switch tube M0 so that the large current caused by the surge signal can be discharged to the ground through the discharge switch tube M0.

[0043] The embodiment of the present invention can share part of the high voltage release through the redundant IO port to reduce the burden of the discharge switch tube M0 in releasing the high voltage. Therefore, this embodiment can improve the high voltage release capability of the chip without adding external circuits.

[0044] Specifically, after determining the redundant IO ports on the chip, the chip can be further wire-bonded and packaged so that the driver tube in the redundant IO port can be connected in parallel with the discharge switch tube in the electrostatic clamping circuit. As a result, when a large current is released from the power line to the ground line through the electrostatic clamping circuit, part of the current can be released from the power line to the ground line through the driver tube in the IO port, thereby reducing the burden on the electrostatic clamping circuit and generally improving the chip's ability to release high voltage.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the driving tube corresponding to each IO port in at least some of the IO ports includes an upper bridge driving tube and a lower bridge driving tube, and the upper bridge driving tube is connected to the lower bridge driving tube and then connected between the power pin and the ground pin, and the node between the upper bridge driving tube and the lower bridge driving tube is connected to the pad of the corresponding IO port, wherein the pads of at least some of the redundant IO ports are wired and packaged, including: wiring the pads of at least some of the IO ports to the power pin; or wiring the pads of at least some of the IO ports to the ground pin; or wiring the pads of some of the IO ports in at least some of the IO ports to the power pin, and wiring the pads of other IO ports in at least some of the IO ports to the ground pin.

[0046] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, in the interface circuit 20 corresponding to the IO port of the present invention, the driver transistors include an upper bridge driver transistor M1 and a lower bridge driver transistor M2. After being connected, the upper bridge driver transistor M1 and the lower bridge driver transistor M2 are connected between the power pin VDD and the ground pin VSS, i.e., the power ground. Then, the node P between the upper bridge driver transistor M1 and the lower bridge driver transistor M2 is connected to the pad A of the corresponding IO port.

[0047] In this embodiment, at least part of the pads of the IO ports can be wired to the power pins, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the pad A of the IO port can be wired to the pad D of the power pin, that is, the upper bridge driver tube M1 is short-circuited, so that during the surge test, the large current on the power line can be directly released to the ground through the lower bridge driver tube M2.

[0048] In this embodiment, the pads of at least part of the IO ports can be wired to the ground pins, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the pad A of the IO port can be wired to the pad S of the ground pin, that is, the lower bridge driver tube M2 is short-circuited, so that during the surge test, the large current on the power line can be released to the ground through the upper bridge driver tube M1. It should be noted that Figure 4 and Figure 5 The driver tube indicated by the dotted line does not work or has no effect in this circuit.

[0049] It is understandable that Figure 4 and Figure 5 This embodiment is described using only one IO port as an example. In actual applications, two or more IO ports may be configured for the package. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the pads A of at least some of the IO ports may be bonded to the pads D of the power pins, while the pads A of other IO ports may be bonded to the pads D of the ground pins.

[0050] More specifically, there's no upper limit on the number of pads that can be bonded to power or ground pins on an IO port, as long as the chip allows. A greater number of pads provides greater resistance to surge currents. It's understandable that the more redundant IO ports bonded, the greater the current they can share, the faster the release time, and the greater the surge current relief.

[0051] In some specific embodiments, the upper bridge driving transistor in this embodiment is a PMOS transistor, and the lower bridge driving transistor is an NMOS transistor.

[0052] More specifically, after bonding at least some of the pads of the IO ports to the power pins or ground pins through the above embodiment, the chip is subjected to surge detection, and the results obtained are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, compared with the test results obtained when at least part of the IO port pads are not wired to the power pins or ground pins Figure 7 As shown, the VDD signal inside the chip of this embodiment is still lower than 10 volts under the surge signal test, so the chip tube will not be instantly broken down, thereby improving the life of the chip. In addition, this embodiment does not require the addition of additional external circuits, thereby reducing the chip control cost.

[0053] In summary, the chip packaging method of the embodiment of the present invention optimizes the wiring method, utilizes the redundant IO port circuits on the chip, and optimizes the packaging. The pads of the IO port are wired to the power supply or ground, thereby strengthening the surge and overvoltage resistance test. The surge performance can be improved without the need for additional area or circuit processing, reaching the highest standards in the industry, greatly improving the service life of the chip, and reducing the protection cost of the chip.

[0054] Furthermore, the present invention provides a chip, which is packaged by the chip packaging method in the above embodiment.

[0055] The embodiment of the present invention uses the chip packaging method in the above embodiment to package the chip, so that the chip packaged by the chip packaging method in the above embodiment can enhance the chip's surge resistance and overvoltage test, and can improve the surge performance without the need for additional area or circuit processing, reaching the highest standards in the industry, greatly improving the service life of the chip, and reducing the chip protection cost.

[0056] Figure 8FIG. 4 is a structural block diagram of an electrostatic clamping device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0057] Furthermore, if Figure 8 As shown, the present invention proposes an electrostatic clamping device 100, which includes an electrostatic clamping circuit 10 and an interface circuit 20 corresponding to at least one redundant IO port, wherein the electrostatic clamping circuit 10 includes a discharge switch tube M0 and a trigger unit 11. It should be noted that the figure only shows the interface circuit corresponding to one redundant IO port, and this embodiment may include multiple interface circuits, whose circuits are the same as the interface circuit 20 in this embodiment, so they are not repeated in the figure.

[0058] The electrostatic clamping circuit 10 includes a discharge switch transistor M0 and a trigger unit 11. The discharge switch transistor M0 is connected between the chip's power pin VDD and ground pin VSS. The trigger unit 11 is used to trigger the discharge switch transistor M0 to turn on, thereby discharging electrostatic discharge. The interface circuit 20 corresponding to the redundant IO port includes an upper bridge driver transistor M1 and a lower bridge driver transistor M2. The upper bridge driver transistor M1 and the lower bridge driver transistor M2 are connected to each other and then connected between the chip's power pin VDD and ground pin VSS. The node P between the upper bridge driver transistor M1 and the lower bridge driver transistor M2 is connected to the redundant IO port's pad A, which is connected to the power pin VDD or the ground pin VSS, thereby connecting one of the upper bridge driver transistor M1 and the lower bridge driver transistor M2 in parallel with the discharge switch transistor M0.

[0063] It should be noted that for details not disclosed in the electrostatic clamping device of the embodiment of the present invention, please refer to the details disclosed in the chip packaging method of the embodiment of the present invention, and the details will not be repeated here.

[0064] In summary, the electrostatic clamping device of the embodiment of the present invention is connected between the power pin and the ground pin of the chip through the discharge switch tube in the electrostatic clamping circuit. The trigger unit in the electrostatic clamping circuit is used to trigger the discharge switch tube to open to perform electrostatic discharge or overvoltage release. At the same time, the driving tubes in some redundant IO ports are used to participate in the release. The packaging is optimized and the pads of the IO ports are wired to the power supply or ground, thereby strengthening the surge and overvoltage resistance test. The surge performance can be improved without additional area or circuit processing, reaching the highest industry standards, greatly improving the service life of the chip, and reducing the protection cost of the chip.
