Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of integrated circuit technology, specifically relating to methods, systems, equipment, and media for TSV array circuit model and parameter sensitivity analysis. Background Technology
[0002] As signal transmission rates continue to increase, packaging structures are increasingly moving towards miniaturization and low noise. However, as these structures approach their physical limits, they face more and more challenges, such as noise, power consumption, and cost. The emergence of 3D integration technology provides a new way to solve these problems. Essentially, it interconnects multiple layers of chips in the vertical direction, resulting in smaller chip areas, shorter interconnects, higher transmission bandwidth, and cost savings. Through Silicon Vias (TSVs), as a key component in 3D integrated interconnect structures, play a crucial role in signal transmission between chips. Therefore, analyzing the transmission characteristics of TSVs is essential.
[0003] When studying the electrical characteristics of TSV-based 3D integrated circuits, such as TSV transmission characteristics and noise crosstalk, electromagnetic simulation software is mostly used. However, when the TSV structure is complex, the simulation efficiency is low. While existing analysis methods based on RLGC equivalent circuits have solved the problem of low efficiency of electromagnetic simulation software, the analysis process is complex. At the same time, during the modeling process, different parameters have different effects on transmission characteristics and crosstalk. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the sensitivity of different TSV parameters. Summary of the Invention

[0083] This invention provides a TSV array circuit model and parameter sensitivity analysis system, including:
[0084] The module is used to obtain the physical model and process parameters, including the signal TSV and ground TSV, and to build the array model.
[0085] The calculation module is used to build the RLGC model corresponding to the physical model based on the array model, process parameters and parallel double circular rod coupling model under high frequency transmission conditions, and to calculate the calculation formula of the circuit parameters in the RLGC model.
[0086] The correction module is used to evaluate the accuracy of the constructed equivalent RLGC circuit model from the perspective of S-parameters for different size conditions.

[0087] The output module is used to analyze the impact of different physical parameters on transmission characteristics and compare the sensitivity of different physical parameters through S-parameters.
[0088] The present invention provides an embodiment as follows:
[0089] A 3×3 array model was selected for study, and a system was built as follows: Figure 1 The model diagram shown.
[0090] according to Figure 1 The TSV model was built as follows Figure 2 The diagram shows the arrangement of the coupling capacitor array, where P is the power supply TSV, G is the ground TSV, C1 is the coupling capacitor between the middle TSV and the edge TSV, C2 is the coupling capacitor between the edge TSVs, and C3 is the coupling capacitor between indirectly adjacent TSVs.
[0091] Based on the skin effect in high-frequency signal transmission, the impedance calculation formula for TSV can be obtained as follows:
[0092] in,
[0093] R TSV R is the resistance of TSV. TSV,dc R is the DC resistance of TSV. TSV,ac The AC resistance of TSV.
[0094]
[0095]
[0096] Among them, h TSV For the TSV height, d TSV For the diameter of the TSV, ρTSV Let σ be the resistivity of the TSV, δ be the skin depth of the TSV at high frequencies, and σ be the resistivity of the TSV. TSV f is the TSV conductivity, and f is the TSV operating frequency;
[0097] Based on the coupling relationship of the parallel double circular rods, the coupling circuit unit between TSVs is obtained as follows: Figure 3 As shown, where:
[0098] The formula for calculating TSV inductance is:
[0099] The formula for calculating oxide layer capacitance is:
[0100] The formula for calculating the capacitance of a silicon substrate is:
[0101] The formula for calculating the conductivity of a silicon substrate is:
[0102] Where μ0 is the free permeability, μ r p is the relative permeability of TSV. TSV Let ε0 be the spacing between TSVs, ε0 be the vacuum permittivity, and ε0 be the free space permittivity. ox Let t be the dielectric constant of the oxide layer. ox The oxide layer thickness is 1 μm, α is a coefficient related to the TSV spacing, and ε Si Let σ be the relative permittivity of silicon. Si The conductivity of the silicon substrate.
[0103] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 Based on the above circuit parameter calculation formulas, the RLGC circuit diagram shown in Figure 4 is constructed. Due to the complexity of the equivalent circuit diagram, this application divides Figure 4 into a top-level diagram (Figure 4(a)) and circuit diagrams of sub-circuits TSV1comp (Figure 4(b), TSV2comp (Figure 4(c), and TSV3comp (Figure 4(d)).
[0104] The accuracy of the constructed equivalent RLGC circuit model is evaluated, and if inaccurate, the RLGC circuit model is corrected until an accurate equivalent RLGC model is obtained. This is mainly accomplished by modifying the calculation formula for the silicon substrate, where the silicon substrate capacitance between the middle TSV and the edge TSV is denoted as C. Si1 The silicon substrate capacitance between the edge TSVs is denoted as C. Si2 The silicon substrate capacitance between indirectly adjacent TSVs is denoted as C. Si3 ,
[0105] The calculation formulas are as follows:
[0106] Where α is a coefficient related to the TSV spacing, and its fitting formula is as follows:
[0107] d TSV =10um,h TSV =100um:α=2.5×10 3 ×p TSV +0.55;
[0108] d TSV =20um,h TSV =150um:α=2.5×10 3 ×p TSV +0.4;
[0109]
[0110] d TSV =20um,h TSV =200um:α=0.5;
[0111] Furthermore, in the above method, in the step of evaluating the accuracy of the equivalent RLGC model, the insertion loss S is used. 21 and remote crosstalk S 41 The accuracy of the constructed equivalent RLGC circuit model is evaluated, and the comparison results are as follows: Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown.
[0112] When the TSV array structure is complex, the electromagnetic simulation software has a low speed. Building an RLGC circuit can effectively solve the problem of low simulation efficiency of electromagnetic simulation software.
[0113] Increasing the spacing between TSVs reduces crosstalk between them, leading to more signal transmitted to the end of the TSV, thus increasing insertion loss S. 21 The insertion loss S increases. However, as the TSV spacing increases, the insertion loss S cannot be increased indefinitely. 21 The insertion loss S is increased by increasing the TSV spacing. 21 The effect is no longer obvious, as shown in the comparison results. Figure 9 As shown.
[0114] As the height of the TSV increases, the coupling length between TSVs also increases, leading to an increase in parasitic resistance. This results in a reduction in the signal reaching the TSV ends, increasing the insertion loss S. 21 Decrease, comparison results are as follows Figure 10 As shown.
[0115] As the diameter of the TSV increases, the distance between the power supply TSV (P) and the ground TSV (G) decreases, thereby increasing the insertion loss S. 21 However, in a 3×3 array, as the spacing between the power supply TSV(P) and the ground TSV(G) decreases, the spacing between the power supply TSV(P) and the power supply TSV(G) also decreases, leading to increased silicon substrate loss and decreased insertion loss. Since the increased loss between P and P has a greater impact on transmission performance than the decreased loss between P and P, the insertion loss S decreases as the TSV diameter increases. 21 The results of the reduction are compared as follows: Figure 11 As shown.
[0116] Compare Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The results show that the change in diameter has the greatest impact on transmission performance, while increasing the height of the TSV will increase the insertion loss S. 21 The insertion loss S is reduced, but the impact is less than that of the diameter. Increasing the spacing will increase the insertion loss S within a certain range. 21 However, the insertion loss S cannot be increased by increasing the spacing indefinitely. 21 Based on the degree of influence of TSV diameter, height, and spacing on transmission performance, the sensitivity can be ranked from highest to lowest as follows: diameter, height, spacing.
