Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of quantum chip packaging, and more particularly, to a quantum chip packaging device, an integrated circuit, and an assembly method. Background Art

[0002] The function of quantum chip packaging is to guide the quantum chip's control signals to the quantum chip and transmit the quantum chip's signals outward, acting as a bridge between the external environment and the quantum chip. The quantum chip and printed circuit board are usually connected using bonding wires or flip-chip soldering.

[0003] In the wire bonding method, Figure 1 As shown, the quantum chip and printed circuit board are assembled on a metal base, with the quantum chip located within the printed circuit board. Signals fan out through the edges of the quantum chip, and the number of fan-out ports is limited by the quantum chip's circumference. As the number of bits in superconducting quantum computing chips increases dramatically, the number of ports must also increase accordingly. Therefore, as the number of bits in a quantum chip increases, the increase in the number of ports is even greater, requiring a significant increase in the quantum chip's circumference, which in turn increases its size. However, two factors limit the size of quantum chips: the processing equipment required for the quantum chip and the resonant modes within the packaging structure.

[0004] Therefore, a flip-chip soldering connection method was proposed. Flip-chip soldering utilizes a fan-out method, which can reduce the size of the quantum chip. However, as the number of ports increases, the size of the printed circuit board increases, which makes flip-chip soldering inconvenient. Flip-chip soldering makes it difficult to independently assemble the quantum chip module and printed circuit board. Furthermore, once the quantum chip module and printed circuit board are assembled, it is difficult to replace the quantum chip module or printed circuit board in the event of a failure.

[0005] At present, based on the flip-chip welding method, it has been proposed to realize electrical connection between the quantum chip module and the printed circuit board through a transition component. However, there are contact points between the quantum chip module and the transition component, and between the transition component and the printed circuit board. The contact points will lead to the introduction of excessive contact resistance, which will cause the quantum chip package to heat up when current flows through these contact points.

[0047] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In the following detailed description, for ease of explanation, many specific details are set forth to provide a comprehensive understanding of embodiments of the present invention. However, it is apparent that one or more embodiments may also be implemented without these specific details. In addition, in the following description, descriptions of known structures and technologies are omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concept of the present invention.

[0048] The terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The terms "comprise", "include", etc. used herein indicate the presence of the features, steps, operations and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations or components.

[0049] All terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art unless otherwise defined. It should be noted that the terms used herein should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the context of this specification and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly rigid manner.

[0050] When expressions such as “at least one of A, B, and C, etc.” are used, they should generally be interpreted in accordance with the meaning commonly understood by those skilled in the art (for example, “a system having at least one of A, B, and C” should include but is not limited to systems having A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B, A and C, B and C, and / or A, B, and C, etc.). When expressions such as “at least one of A, B, or C, etc.” are used, they should generally be interpreted in accordance with the meaning commonly understood by those skilled in the art (for example, “a system having at least one of A, B, or C” should include but is not limited to systems having A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B, A and C, B and C, and / or A, B, and C, etc.).

[0051] Figure 1 It is a cross-sectional view of the edge fan-out of the quantum chip 1 in the prior art.

[0052] In the wire bonding method, Figure 1As shown, the quantum chip 1 and printed circuit board 100 are assembled on a metal base 200, with the printed circuit board 100 positioned around the periphery of the quantum chip 1. The quantum chip 1 and printed circuit board 100 are electrically connected by wires 300, typically thin metal wires, such as aluminum or gold wires with a diameter of 25μm. Signals fan out through the edges of the quantum chip 1, and the number of fan-out ports is limited by the circumference of the quantum chip 1. As the number of bits in superconducting quantum computing chips increases dramatically, the number of ports must also increase accordingly. In current chip designs, the ratio of the number of ports to the number of bits is generally approximately 3:1. Therefore, as the number of bits in the quantum chip 1 increases, the number of ports increases even more, requiring a significant increase in the circumference of the quantum chip 1, which in turn increases its size. However, two factors limit the size of the quantum chip 1: one is the processing equipment required for the quantum chip 1. Some processing equipment is not compatible with processing large samples, or the process stability and uniformity are poor, resulting in the performance of the processed quantum chip 1 not meeting the requirements. Second, there are resonant modes within the packaging structure. There are two resonant modes within the packaging structure: spatial resonance and parasitic capacitance and inductance resonance. These resonances can increase crosstalk between different circuits and introduce some stray signals within the operating frequency band of the quantum chip 1. This greatly complicates the calibration of the quantum chip 1 and may even cause the quantum chip 1 to fail to operate.

[0053] Therefore, a flip-chip soldering connection method was proposed. However, flip-chip soldering makes it difficult to independently assemble the quantum chip module and the printed circuit board. Moreover, once the quantum chip module and the printed circuit board are assembled, it is difficult to replace the quantum chip module or printed circuit board if a fault occurs.

[0054] At present, based on the flip-chip welding method, it has been proposed to realize electrical connection between the quantum chip module and the printed circuit board through a transition component. However, there are contact points between the quantum chip module and the transition component, and between the transition component and the printed circuit board. The contact points will lead to the introduction of excessive contact resistance, which will cause the quantum chip package to heat up when current flows through these contact points.

[0055] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of the ideal contact between the transition assembly 400 and the connected module. Figure 3 It is a cross-sectional view showing the actual contact between the transition assembly 400 and the connected module.

[0056] In an ideal situation, if Figure 2 As shown, the contact between the quantum chip module and the transition component 400, and between the transition component 400 and the printed circuit board 100 (the quantum chip module and the printed circuit board 100 are collectively referred to as the connected module) is surface contact. In actual situations, Figure 3As shown, since the contact surface is not an ideal plane and has undulating concave and convex features 500, the contact position is generally point contact, and it is difficult to achieve surface contact. This results in the contact resistance in actual conditions being much larger than that in ideal conditions. For superconducting quantum chips that need to operate at extremely low temperatures (5mK-30mK), the cooling power of the refrigeration equipment at extremely low temperatures is very small. Figure 3 The point contact shown has a large contact resistance. When current flows through, it will generate a lot of heat, causing the temperature of the extremely low temperature environment to rise, which in turn causes the quantum chip to malfunction.

[0057] In order to solve the problem of excessive contact resistance, according to the inventive concept of one aspect of the present invention, the adapter assembly of the present invention includes a first surface and a second surface relative to each other, the first surface is electrically connected to the quantum chip, and a plurality of second electrical contacts are formed on the second surface. A plurality of first electrical contacts, a plurality of connectors and a plurality of connector seats are provided on the circuit board, one end of each connector is inserted into the groove of each connector seat, and the other end of each connector protruding from each connector seat is suitable for electrically connecting to one of the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact, and each connector seat is suitable for electrically connecting to the other of the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact. The area where each connector contacts each groove is filled with a conductive filler to increase the electrical contact area between each connector and each groove, thereby reducing the contact resistance and thus reducing the heat generated in the packaging device of the quantum chip.

[0058] Figure 4 4 is a cross-sectional view of a quantum chip packaging device and an integrated circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0059] According to one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, a packaging device for a quantum chip includes a transfer assembly, a circuit board 7, a plurality of connectors 3, and a plurality of connection bases 4. The transfer assembly includes a first surface A and a second surface B opposite to each other, and the first surface A is electrically connected to the quantum chip 1. The circuit board 7 is provided with a plurality of first electrical contacts. One end of each connector 3 is inserted into the groove of each connection base 4, and the other end of each connector 3 protruding from each connection base 4 is suitable for electrically connecting to the second electrical contact formed on the second surface B, and each connection base 4 is suitable for electrically connecting to the first electrical contact. The area where each connector 3 contacts each groove is filled with a conductive filler 8 to increase the electrical contact area between each connector 3 and each groove.

[0060] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the other ends of the multiple connectors 3 protruding from the multiple connecting seats 4 can be electrically connected in an array to the multiple second electrical contacts formed on the second surface B, and the multiple connecting seats 4 can be electrically connected in an array to the multiple first electrical contacts.

[0061] Figure 54 is a cross-sectional view of a quantum chip packaging device and an integrated circuit according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] According to an alternative embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, a packaging device for a quantum chip includes a transfer assembly, a circuit board 7, a plurality of connectors 3, and a plurality of connection bases 4. The transfer assembly includes a first surface A and a second surface B opposite to each other, and the first surface A is electrically connected to the quantum chip 1. The circuit board 7 is provided with a plurality of first electrical contacts. One end of each connector 3 is inserted into the groove of each connection base 4, and the other end of each connector 3 protruding from each connection base 4 is suitable for electrically connecting to the first electrical contact, and each connection base 4 is suitable for electrically connecting to the second electrical contact. The area where each connector 3 contacts each groove is filled with a conductive filler 8 to increase the electrical contact area between each connector 3 and each groove.

[0063] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the other ends of the multiple connectors 3 protruding from the multiple connecting seats 4 can be electrically connected to the multiple first electrical contacts in an array, and the multiple connecting seats 4 can be electrically connected to the multiple second electrical contacts in an array.

[0064] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the circuit board 7 may be a printed circuit board.

[0065] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the connector 3 may be a columnar pin, and the connector seat 4 may be a needle seat. The connector 3 and the connector seat 4 may serve as transition components of the packaging device of the quantum chip 1 .

[0066] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the setting of the transition component allows the structures of each layer of the quantum chip 1, the adapter component and the circuit board 7 to be connected without considering the influence of the temperature and process of the upper layer structure, so as to achieve decoupling between the quantum chip 1, the adapter component and the circuit board 7, reduce the mutual influence between the structures of each layer, and ensure stable signal transmission.

[0067] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of connectors 3 are electrically connected in an array to a plurality of second electrical contacts formed on the second surface B (see FIG. Figure 4 ) or a plurality of first electrical contacts (see Figure 5 ). The soldering material is tin-silver-copper alloy or tin-lead alloy.

[0068] According to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, when the connector 3 is a cylindrical pin and the connector base 4 is a needle holder, in actual use, the pin diameter is relatively small. If the pin is damaged, repairing or replacing the pin will be difficult due to the fragility of the quantum chip 1 and the first adapter plate 5 of the adapter assembly (the first adapter plate 5 is described in detail below). However, the needle holder has a larger diameter relative to the pin and is less susceptible to damage. Therefore, the positions of the pins and needle holder can be interchanged, and multiple pins (connectors 3) are electrically connected in an array to multiple first electrical contacts on the circuit board 7, while multiple needle holders (connector base 4) are electrically connected in an array to multiple second electrical contacts formed on the second surface B. In the event of a fault in the circuit board 7 or a component in the adapter assembly, the pins can be separated from the circuit board 7 and the component in the circuit board 7 or adapter assembly can be replaced. This avoids the situation where a component in the quantum chip 1 packaging device cannot be repaired and needs to be replaced entirely.

[0069] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the adapter assembly includes a first surface A and a second surface B relative to each other, the first surface A is electrically connected to the quantum chip 1, a plurality of second electrical contacts are formed on the second surface B, a plurality of first electrical contacts are provided on the circuit board 7, one end of each connector 3 is inserted into the groove of each connector seat 4, and the other end of each connector 3 protruding from each connector seat 4 is suitable for electrically connecting to one of the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact, and each connector seat 4 is suitable for electrically connecting to the other of the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact. The area where each connector 3 contacts each groove is filled with a conductive filler 8 to increase the electrical contact area between each connector 3 and each groove, thereby reducing the contact resistance and thereby reducing the heat generation in the packaging device of the quantum chip 1, which can meet the fan-out requirements of large-scale quantum bits.

[0070] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the conductive filler 8 is liquid metal.

[0071] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the conductive filler 8 is liquid metal, the conductive filler 8 is filled by injection or using a dispensing device, and the liquid metal can be gallium or gallium-indium alloy.

[0072] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the conductive filler 8 may also be a granular soft metal. The granular soft metal is placed in the groove and heated to change the granular state into a liquid state. The soft metal may be indium metal.

[0073] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the area where each connector 3 contacts each groove is filled with a conductive filler 8 to increase the electrical contact area between each connector 3 and each groove, thereby reducing the contact resistance and thereby reducing the heat generated in the packaging device of the quantum chip 1.

[0074] According to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the adapter assembly includes a first adapter plate 5, a second adapter plate 6, and a plurality of electrical connection materials 2. The first adapter plate 5 includes a first surface A and a third surface C opposite the first surface A. The second adapter plate 6 includes a second surface B and a fourth surface D opposite the second surface B.

[0075] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first adapter plate 5 and the second adapter plate 6 are both insulating plates, and arrays of electrical contacts are evenly arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the first adapter plate 5 and the second adapter plate 6. One end of the electrical connection material 2 electrically connected between the quantum chip 1 and the first surface A is electrically connected in an array to the electrical contacts on the surface of the quantum chip 1, and the other end is electrically connected in an array to the electrical contacts on the first surface A of the first adapter plate 5, thereby enabling signal transmission between the quantum chip 1 and the first adapter plate 5. One end of the electrical connection material 2 electrically connected between the third surface C and the fourth surface D is electrically connected in an array to the electrical contacts on the third surface C of the first adapter plate 5, and the other end is electrically connected in an array to the electrical contacts on the fourth surface D of the second adapter plate 6, thereby enabling signal transmission between the first adapter plate 5 and the second adapter plate 6.

The ports include, but are not limited to, signal output ports, signal input ports, power ports, and ground ports. Similarly, the first adapter plate 5 is electrically connected to the second adapter plate 6 using the electrical connection material 2 in a port-face fan-out manner to enable signal transmission between the first adapter plate 5 and the second adapter plate 6.

The electrical connection material 2 electrically connected between the quantum chip 1 and the first surface A of the first adapter plate 5 can be selected from indium metal; the electrical connection material 2 electrically connected between the third surface C of the first adapter plate 5 and the fourth surface D of the second adapter plate 6 can be selected from indium or indium tin alloy. For example, the electrical connection is achieved by using solder balls.

[0080] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the electrical connection material 2 electrically connected between the quantum chip 1 and the first surface A and the electrical connection material 2 electrically connected between the third surface C and the fourth surface D both provide two connection functions, one is signal connection and the other is ground connection, and the signal connection and the ground connection are arranged alternately.

[0081] According to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the signal connection is one-to-one corresponding, and can be a correspondence between the top and the bottom, that is, the electrical connection material 2 as a signal connection function between the quantum chip 1 and the first surface A can be connected in a one-to-one correspondence with the electrical connection material 2 as a signal connection function between the third surface C and the fourth surface D, and the number of electrical connection materials 2 as a signal connection function between the quantum chip 1 and the first surface A is equal to the number of electrical connection materials 2 as a signal connection function between the third surface C and the fourth surface D. In other embodiments, the electrical connection material 2 as a signal connection function between the quantum chip 1 and the first surface A can also be connected to the electrical connection material 2 as a signal connection function between the third surface C and the fourth surface D without corresponding connection between the top and the bottom. As shown in FIG. Figure 6As shown, the electrical connection material 2 between the quantum chip 1 and the first surface A as a ground connection function can be connected one-to-one with the electrical connection material 2 between the third surface C and the fourth surface D as a ground connection function, but it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the ground connection does not necessarily have to be as follows. Figure 6 The one-to-one connection shown is not necessarily the same as the number of electrical connection materials 2 between the quantum chip 1 and the first surface A serving as a ground connection and the number of electrical connection materials 2 between the third surface C and the fourth surface D serving as a ground connection.
