[0002] With the rapid development of heterogeneous integration technology in the field of advanced packaging, 2.5D / 3D system packaging based on through silicon vias (TSV) has become an important solution to continue Moore's Law in the post-Moore era. TSV enables chip-to-chip communication to achieve shorter signal transmission latency, lower power consumption, and smaller package size.
[0003] However, the presence of TSV makes the signal integrity design of advanced packages more complex. The transition region formed by TSV and transmission line has an impedance discontinuity region, which greatly increases the difficulty of impedance matching design. In the existing related technologies, there is a lack of a method that can accurately analyze and optimize complex single-ended through silicon vias. Summary of the Invention

The unit length capacitance and unit length inductance of the transmission lines at both ends of the TSV are obtained from the simulation results.
[0072] In a preferred embodiment of this disclosure, the step of constructing a transmission line cross-sectional model connecting the two ends of the TSV to obtain the capacitance and inductance per unit length of the transmission line at both ends of the TSV includes:
[0073] In AnsysQ2D software, construct a transmission line profile model connecting the two ends of the TSV. The transmission line structure at both ends is designed by default to the target characteristic impedance.

[0086] Example 1
[0087] by Figure 3 Taking the complex coaxial TSV structure (structure X) shown as an example, based on the above analysis, Q3D is used to... Figure 3 The equivalent circuit model of the TSV structure is performed. This structure is taken from the actual RF layout. The signal transmission part consists of ground coplanar waveguide (CPWG) transmission lines (CPWG1 and CPWG2), vias (via1 and via2) and dual-signal TSVs. The return current part consists of a ground plane and 34 ground TSVs. There are a total of 4 metal layers (two layers on the front and two layers on the back of silicon). Figure 2 The pink highlighted area represents the signal transmission section. Figure 4 and Figure 5The images show the transmission line cross-sections of CPWG1 and CPWG2, with a metal thickness of 5µm and a silicon thickness of 200µm. Both CPWG1 and CPWG2 are 500µm long. The length of CPWG1 is calculated from the leftmost end of structure X to the leftmost anti-pad of via1, and the length of CPWG2 is calculated from the rightmost end of structure X to the rightmost anti-pad of via2.
[0088] The total capacitance (C) of this structure can be obtained by simulating structure X using Q3D. X ) and total inductance (L X ), C X 320fF, L X The pH is 468.15. Since CPWG1 and CPWG2 are uniform and continuous transmission lines, TSV interconnect modeling should be performed after removing CPWG1 and CPWG2 from structure X. That is, the TSV structure to be optimized should consist of via1, dual-signal TSVs, via2, the corresponding return ground TSV, and the ground plane. However, if only the above portion is removed (without the CPWG transmission lines), and the overall capacitance is solved using Q3D, the calculated capacitance will lose the coupling capacitance between this structure and the CPWG transmission lines, leading to an inaccurate equivalent circuit model. Therefore, the capacitance (C) of the TSV structure to be optimized (without the CPWG transmission lines) is... tsv ) and inductance (L tsv The indirect de-embedding method is used to obtain the result, that is, according to formulas (1) and (2).
[0089] In formulas (1) and (2), len represents the length of the CPWG transmission line, which is 500 μm. C in formulas (1) and (2) 1pul C 2pul L 1pu and L 2pul The four parameters can be determined according to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cross-sectional structure was obtained from Ansys Q2D, and the required C 1pul and C 2pul Equal, both are 0.124 fF / um, L 1pul and L 2pul The values are equal, both being 0.294 pH / µm. Therefore, C can be obtained from formulas (1) and (2). tsv For 196fF, L tsv The pH value is 174.15.
[0090] From C tsv and L tsv The numerical values also reveal the characteristic impedance of the complex TSV structure. Its characteristic impedance ZO can be obtained from formula (3). OThe impedance is 30Ω. Clearly, this TSV structure is not matched with the CPWG transmission lines at its left and right ends, which have a characteristic impedance of 50Ω. Figure 8 The return loss of structure X is greater than -10dB above 20GHz. Therefore, the ZO of this complex TSV structure needs further optimization. To make Z... O Reaching 50Ω allows for an increase in the area of the anti-solder pad, thereby reducing C. tsv In addition, due to the large capacitance formed between the TSV pad surface and the M2 (M2B) ground plane, Figure 6 The brightest part of the charge distribution indicates that if the ground plane portion overlapping with the TSV pad is cut off, the capacitance of that portion will also decrease, thus reducing C. tsv Further reduction is needed. Based on this analysis, the ground planes of the M2 and M2B layers overlapping with the TSV pads can be removed first. Then, a circular anti-pad region with a parameterizable diameter can be created in the TSV pad area of structure X. The anti-pad region can be parametrically scanned using Ansys Q3D, and the L obtained after each scan can be used to further reduce the size. tsv With C tsv Calculate the new Z O When the obtained Z O When the resistance approaches 50Ω, the parametric scan can be stopped. Based on this, the optimization steps are as follows: Figure 9 The optimized complex TSV structure (structure O) is shown in the figure. The diameter of the anti-pad region is 280 μm. The ground planes of the M2 and M2B layers that overlap with the TSV pads have been removed. The resulting Ltsv and Ctsv are 250.5 pH and 100 fF, respectively. O The S-parameter amplitude obtained from the full-wave electromagnetic field simulation of structure O is 50Ω. Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown.
[0091] Compare Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 It can be seen that the maximum insertion loss of structure O is 0.48dB, and the return loss is less than -30dB across the entire frequency domain; the maximum insertion loss of structure X is 1.16dB, and the return loss is greater than -10dB above 20GHz. Clearly, both the insertion loss and return loss of structure O are smaller than those of structure X, demonstrating the correctness and guiding significance of the optimization design method proposed in this invention.
