[0002] One important purpose of microelectronic device (e.g., chip) packaging is to connect the device to a higher level package of an electronic system. One aspect of packaging is to convert signals from the relatively small features (e.g., bond pads or re-routed bond pads) of a die to the larger and more widely spaced connection sites of the next higher level package (e.g., a circuit board). In particular, the various input / output signals involved with a chip are packaged as an array of signal pins, the pattern and pitch of which is generally dictated by industry-wide (i.e., JEDEC) standards.

[0039] Before introducing the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following three directions for describing the three-dimensional structure that the plane may use are defined. Taking the Cartesian coordinate system as an example, the three directions can include the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis directions (not involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure). The packaging structure can include a top surface at the front face and a bottom surface at the back face opposite to the front face; in the case of ignoring the flatness of the top surface and the bottom surface, the direction intersecting (for example, perpendicular to) the top surface and the bottom surface of the packaging structure is defined as the third direction. In the direction of the top surface and the bottom surface of the packaging structure (i.e. the plane where the packaging structure is located), two directions intersecting with each other are defined, for example, the column extension direction of the signal pin array can be defined as the first direction, and the row extension direction of the signal pin array can be defined as the second direction, and the plane direction of the packaging structure can be determined based on the first direction and the second direction. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first direction and the second direction can be perpendicular to each other, and in other embodiments, the first direction and the second direction can also be not perpendicular.

[0040] In addition, the term "linearly adjacent" used in this paper in connection with the signal pin array means and includes the pins directly above, directly below, directly left and directly right of a given pin when the signal pin array is parallel to the drawing plane; the term "diagonally arranged" used in this paper in connection with the signal pin array means and includes the pins right above, right below, left above and left below of a given pin when the signal pin array is parallel to the drawing plane; the term "surrounding pins" used in this paper in connection with the signal pin array means and includes the pins directly above, directly below, directly left, directly right, right above, right below, left above and left below of a given pin when the signal pin array is parallel to the drawing plane. The term "pin A is adjacent to pin B in the first direction" used in this paper in connection with the signal pin array only includes that pin A and pin B are adjacent when the signal pin array is parallel to the drawing plane, and pin A is directly above or directly below pin B. The term "pin A is adjacent to pin B in the second direction" used in this paper in connection with the signal pin array only includes that pin A and pin B are adjacent when the signal pin array is parallel to the drawing plane, and pin A is directly left or directly right of pin B.

[0041] In particular, the illustrations presented in the present disclosure are not meant to be actual views of any particular microelectronic device package, signal pin array, or component thereof, but are merely idealized representations used to describe the illustrative embodiments. Thus the drawings are not necessarily to scale.

[0042] Since the 4-bit data width (X4), 8-bit data width (X8), 16-bit data width (X16) DDR6 chips are involved in the subsequent description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, Table 1 is provided to illustrate the relevant signals and the number of signals involved in the packaging of the above-mentioned chips.

[0043] Table 1

[0044]

[0045]

[0046]

[0047] Specifically, for the X8 chip, the terminal data strobe signals tdqs_c and tdqs_t are required. The X4 and X16 chips do not require these signals, but they do require the mask inversion control signals dmu_n and dml_n. Specifically, for the same design specification, the terminal data strobe signals can share a single pin with the mask inversion control signals; that is, tdqs_c and dmu_n share a single pin, and tdqs_t and dml_n share a single pin.

[0048] The embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] In one embodiment of this disclosure, see Figure 1 This illustrates a schematic diagram of a packaging structure 10 provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the packaging structure 10 includes a packaging substrate 11, and a signal pin array 20 (or ball pin array) is disposed on the surface of the packaging substrate 11.

[0050] It should be noted that the packaging structure 10 provided in this embodiment is applicable to at least DDR5 or DDR6, and can simultaneously support DDR5 or DDR6 chips with data bit widths of 4 bits, 8 bits, and 16 bits. Specifically, the DDR chip includes a device substrate, which includes semiconductor material and bonding pads coupled to the active surface of the device substrate. The packaging substrate is fixed to the device substrate, and the aforementioned packaging substrate 11 is configured to route signals to / from the bonding pads. Simultaneously, the signal pin array 20 is supported on and electrically connected to the packaging substrate 11. In particular, the distribution position of the signal pin array 20 on the packaging substrate 11 is merely illustrative and does not constitute a limitation. In reality, the surface of the packaging substrate 11 is not necessarily a perfectly regular rectangle, and the signal pin array 20 can be distributed in any area of ​​the surface of the packaging substrate 11.

[0051] In the following description, the first direction is the column extension direction of the signal pin array 20, and the second direction is the row extension direction of the signal pin array 20.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, the signal pin array 20 includes multiple clock pins (201, 202) for carrying clock signals and multiple command address pins for carrying command address signals. Figure 1Only part, i.e. 211, 212), a plurality of clock pins (201, 202) are arranged along a first direction, and each clock pin is adjacent to a command address pin along a second direction, for example, clock pin 201 is adjacent to command address pin 211 along the second direction, and clock pin 202 is adjacent to command address pin 212 along the second direction.

[0053] That is, a plurality of clock pins are located in the same column and adjacent to each other, and one clock pin and one command address pin are located in the same row and adjacent to each other.

[0054] It should be noted that, Figure 1 Two clock pins are shown, but there can be more or less in actual scenarios. For example, Figure 1 Clock pin 201 is specifically used to transmit clock signal ck_t in Table 1, and clock pin 202 is specifically used to transmit clock signal ck_c in Table 1, and clock signal ck_t and clock signal ck_c are a pair of differential signals.

[0055] In this way, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the clock pin is allowed to be adjacent to the command address pin along the second direction, which can reduce the size of the signal pin array 20 and save the substrate area. At the same time, since the clock pin is adjacent to the command address pin along the second direction, the clock and address time delay can be better matched, the overall transmission path is closer, the signal integrity is improved, and the overall product competitiveness is improved.

[0056] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the signal pin array 20 further includes a plurality of chip select pins (231, 232) for carrying chip select signals, and the plurality of chip select pins (231, 232) are arranged along the first direction; each chip select pin is adjacent to a command address pin along the second direction, for example, chip select pin 231 is adjacent to command address pin 213 along the second direction.

[0057] That is, a plurality of chip select pins are located in the same column and adjacent to each other, and one chip select pin and one command address pin are located in the same row and adjacent to each other.

[0058] It should be noted that, Figure 2 Two chip select pins are shown, but there can be more or less in actual scenarios. For example, Figure 2 Chip select pin 231 is specifically used to transmit chip select signal cs_n[0] in Table 1, and chip select pin 232 is specifically used to transmit chip select signal cs_n[1] in Table 1, and at most only one of chip select signal cs_n[0] and chip select signal cs_n[1] is valid.

[0059] Thus, in this embodiment of the disclosure, allowing the chip select pin and the command address pin to be adjacent along the second direction can compress the number of rows occupied by the address signals in the signal pin array 20, further saving space, and at the same time, can better match the timing between the clock and address signals.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the signal pin array 20 also includes multiple data pins that carry data signals. Figure 2 Only one is shown, namely 241); one of the chip select pins 232 is also adjacent to one data pin 241 along the first direction; one of the clock pins 202 is also adjacent to another command address pin 215 along the first direction.

[0061] Thus, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the chip select pin and the command address pin are allowed to be adjacent along the second direction, and the chip select pin and the data pin are allowed to be adjacent along the first direction; at the same time, the clock pin and the command address pin are allowed to be adjacent in both the first and second directions, so that the signal distribution is concentrated under the premise that the signal quality meets the requirements.

[0062] For ease of explanation, please refer to Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the signal pin array 20 for the specific application scenario of DDR6 chips. Figure 3 In the signal pin array 20, there are 14 rows (rows numbered a to p) × 11 columns (columns numbered 1 to 11), including 16 data pins DQ, 14 command address pins CA, 2 clock pins (CK_T and CK_C), and 2 chip select pins (CS_N[0] and CS_N[1]). It should be understood that Figure 3 This is only one specific embodiment of the present disclosure. Without departing from the following description, the size of the signal pin array 20, the number of different types of signals, and the detailed arrangement of each signal can be adaptively adjusted.

[0063] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the signal pin array 20 is divided into a first edge row, a data transmission area, a control transmission area and a second edge row along the first direction; multiple data pins DQ are located in the data transmission area, and any two data pins DQ are not adjacent in a straight line; multiple command address pins CA, multiple clock pins (CK_T and CK_C) and multiple chip select pins (CS_N[0] and CS_N[1]) are located in the control transmission area.

[0064] It should be noted that for one data pin DQ, its upper, lower, left and right are not allowed to distribute another data pin DQ; but its upper left, lower left, upper right and lower right are allowed to distribute another data pin DQ. That is, two data pins DQ can be arranged along the diagonal, but not linearly adjacent, in order to improve the signal distortion problem caused by magnetic field superposition.

[0065] It should be noted that, Figure 3 The signal pin array 20 includes a total of 16 data pins DQ, which can support 4-bit, 8-bit and 16-bit data bit width chips. In simple terms, if the packaging structure 10 is applied to a 4-bit data bit width (X4) chip, only 4 data pins are enabled, and the remaining 12 data pins are not connected; if the packaging structure 10 is applied to an 8-bit data bit width (X8) chip, only 8 data pins are enabled, and the remaining 8 data pins are not connected; if the packaging structure 10 is applied to a 16-bit data bit width (X16) chip, all data pins are enabled.

[0066] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The signal pin array 20 is sequentially divided into a first longitudinal region, a center column and a second longitudinal region along the second direction, and the number of signal pins in the first longitudinal region and the number of signal pins in the second longitudinal region are the same.

[0067] It should be noted that the pins in the center column are removed. That is, after the signal pin array 20 is completed, the pins in the center column need to be removed to facilitate PCB wiring. Figure 3 The center column in the above contains 3 columns, but this does not constitute a relevant limitation, and the number of columns contained in the center column can be more or less. In particular, in the above Figure 3 In the above, the length of each column (i.e. the 5th / 6th / 7th column) in the center column along the second direction is short, but this is only to save page space, and in fact the length of each column of the signal pin array 20 along the second direction is basically the same.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 3 , a plurality of data pins DQ are located in the non-edge columns of the first longitudinal region and the non-edge columns in the second longitudinal region, and the data pins DQ in the first longitudinal region and the data pins DQ in the second longitudinal region are symmetric about the center column. In this way, the data pins DQ in the first longitudinal region and the second longitudinal region are mirror images of each other, so that the via holes can be shared when the PCB is designed for positive and negative pasting; in addition, the 1st column and the last column (i.e. the edge column) do not set data pins DQ, thereby shortening the length of the data pins DQ along the second direction.

[0069] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 3As shown, even-numbered data pins DQ are distributed in columns 2, 3, 4, and odd-numbered data pins DQ are distributed in columns 8, 9, 10. Alternatively, even-numbered data pins DQ are distributed in columns 8, 9, 10, and odd-numbered data pins DQ are distributed in columns 2, 3, 4.

[0070] As shown in FIG. 1, the data pins DQ are distributed in columns 2, 3, 4, and the command address pins CA are distributed in columns 9, 10. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1, the data pins DQ are distributed in columns 2, 3, 4, and the command address pins CA are distributed in columns 9, 10.

[0071] As shown in FIG. 1, the data pins DQ are distributed in columns 2, 3, 4, and the command address pins CA are distributed in columns 9, 10. Figure 3 As shown, even-numbered command address pins CA are distributed in columns 3, 4, and odd-numbered command address pins CA are distributed in columns 9, 10. Alternatively, even-numbered command address pins CA are distributed in columns 9, 10, and odd-numbered command address pins CA are distributed in columns 3, 4.

[0072] It should be noted that, in the first direction, at most 3 command address pins CA are allowed to be arranged in succession; in the second direction, at most 2 command address pins CA are allowed to be arranged in succession.

[0073] In this way, the data pins DQ are not arranged in a straight line in either the first direction or the second direction, avoiding the strength and degree of overlap in the magnetic field generated by the data signals carried thereby, so that the signals have higher quality and fidelity. In addition, the command address pins CA are more compactly distributed, thereby reducing the area occupied by the overall signal pin array.

[0074] In some embodiments, the chip select pins (CS_N[0] and CS_N[1]) are located in the first longitudinal region, and the chip select pins are located on the side of the adjacent command address pins CA away from the center column; the clock signal pins are located in the second longitudinal region and adjacent to the center column.

[0075] In this way, the clock signal pins (CK_T and CK_C) are all adjacent to the center column, which can be located in column 4 or column 8, and the rows of the clock signal pins are adjacent, facilitating PCB or substrate wiring.

[0076] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the chip select pins (CS_N[0] and CS_N[1]) are located in the first longitudinal region, and the chip select pins are located on the side of the adjacent command address pins CA away from the center column; the clock signal pins are located in the second longitudinal region and adjacent to the center column. Figure 3The data transmission area is divided into a first transmission area and a second transmission area along a first direction. The total number of pins in the first transmission area is greater than the total number of pins in the second transmission area, and the number of data pins (DQ) in the first transmission area is the same as the number of data pins (DQ) in the second transmission area.

[0077] In the first possibility, the data pins DQ in the first transmission area are used to transmit the high-order data signal (i.e., dqu[7:0] in Table 1), and the data pins DQ in the second transmission area are used to transmit the low-order data signal (i.e., dql[7:0] in Table 1). In this case, for DDR6 with a 4-bit data width, only 4 data pins in the second transmission area are enabled; for DDR6 with an 8-bit data width, only 8 data pins are enabled; and for DDR6 with a 16-bit data width, all data pins are enabled.

[0078] In the second possibility, the data pins DQ in the first transmission area are used to transmit the low-order data signals (i.e., dql[7:0] in Table 1), and the data pins DQ in the second transmission area are used to transmit the high-order data signals (i.e., dqu[7:0] in Table 1). In this case, for DDR6 with a 4-bit data width, only the four data pins in the first transmission area are enabled; for DDR6 with an 8-bit data width, only eight of the data pins are enabled; and for DDR6 with a 16-bit data width, all data pins are enabled.

[0079] Thus, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the transmission areas of high-order data signals and low-order data signals are independent of each other, resulting in a more reasonable layout.

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the signal pin array 20 also includes two pairs of data strobe pins carrying data strobe signals; the first pair of data strobe pins is labeled DQS0_T and DQS0_C, which transmit a pair of differential signals; the second pair of data strobe pins is labeled DQS1_T and DQS1_C, which also transmit a pair of differential signals. That is, one pair of data strobe pins is used to transmit dqsl_t and dqsl_c in Table 1, and the other pair of data strobe pins is used to transmit dqsu_t and dqsu_c in Table 1.

[0081] The first pair of data strobe pins (DQS0_T, DQS0_C) are located in the first transmission region, the second pair of data strobe pins (DQS1_T, DQS1_C) are located in the second transmission region, and all the data strobe pins (DQS0_T, DQS0_C, DQS1_T, DQS1_C) are adjacent to the center column; the two pins of each pair of data strobe pins are adjacent in the first direction, that is, the data strobe pin DQS0_T and the data strobe pin DQS0_C are adjacent in the first direction, and the data strobe pin DQS1_T and the data strobe pin DQS1_C are adjacent in the first direction. The first pair of data strobe pins and the second pair of data strobe pins are not adjacent in the first direction; here, not adjacent means that there is at least one pin between the "first pair of data strobe pins" and the "second pair of data strobe pins". For example, in Figure 3 , the data strobe pin DQS0_C and the data strobe pin DQS1_T are separated by one power pin VDDQ.

[0082] In this way, each pair of data strobe pins can be located in the fourth column or the eighth column, and the two pins of each pair of data strobe pins are located in adjacent rows, thereby facilitating PCB or substrate wiring.

[0083] It should be noted that the first pin of each pair of data strobe pins is linearly adjacent to at least one data pin DQ, that is, the data strobe pin DQS0_T is distributed with one data pin DQ above and to the left, and the data strobe pin DQS1_C is distributed with one data pin DQ to the left. At the same time, the second pin of each pair of data strobe pins is not linearly adjacent to any data pin DQ; here, "not linearly adjacent" means that the upper, lower, left, and right of the "second pin of each pair of data strobe pins" are not allowed to be distributed with data pins DQ.

[0084] It should also be noted that in Figure 4 , all the data strobe pins are in the same column. In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , the first pair of data strobe pins (DQS0_T, DQS0_C) is located in the first longitudinal region close to one column of the center column, and the second pair of data strobe pins (DQS0_T, DQS0_C) is located in the second longitudinal region close to one column of the center column. In still other embodiments, the first pair of data strobe pins (DQS0_T, DQS0_C) is located in the second longitudinal region close to one column of the center column, and the second pair of data strobe pins (DQS0_T, DQS0_C) is located in the first longitudinal region close to one column of the center column.

[0085] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 or Figure 3The data transmission area also has two pairs of first auxiliary control pins (301-304). The first pair of first auxiliary control pins (301, 302) and the first pair of data strobe pins (DQS0_T, DQS0_C) are symmetrical about the center column. The second pair of first auxiliary control pins (301, 302) and the second pair of data strobe pins (DQS1_T, DQS1_C) are symmetrical about the center column. The other pins in the data transmission area are power supply pins or ground pins VSS.

[0086] It should be noted that, depending on the function and / or voltage value, the power supply pins are labeled VDD, VDDQ, and VPP. In particular, each data pin DQ is surrounded by at least one ground pin and one power supply pin. Here, "surrounding the data pin DQ" includes the pins directly above, below, to the left, to the right, to the upper left, to the lower left, to the upper right, and to the lower right of the data pin DQ. This not only provides isolation but also facilitates the generation of data signals.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 or Figure 3 As shown, the control transmission area also has multiple second auxiliary control pins (305, 306), multiple third auxiliary control pins (307, 308), multiple fourth auxiliary control pins (309, 310), a fifth auxiliary control pin 311, and a sixth auxiliary control pin 312.

[0088] First, multiple secondary auxiliary control pins (305, 306) and multiple chip select pins (CS_N[0] and CS_N[1]) are symmetrical about the center column.

[0089] Secondly, multiple third auxiliary control pins (307, 308) and multiple fourth auxiliary control pins (309, 310) are symmetrical about the center column. A third auxiliary control pin, a chip select pin, and a command address pin CA are arranged continuously along the second direction, as are a command address pin CA, a second auxiliary control pin, and a fourth auxiliary control pin; for example... Figure 5 As shown, the third auxiliary control pin 307, the chip select pin CS_N[0] and one command address pin CA are arranged continuously along the second direction; the third auxiliary control pin 308, the chip select pin CS_N[1] and one command address pin CA are arranged continuously along the second direction; at the same time, one command address pin CA, the second auxiliary control pin 305 and the fourth auxiliary control pin 309 are arranged continuously along the second direction; and one command address pin CA, the second auxiliary control pin 306 and the fourth auxiliary control pin 310 are arranged continuously along the second direction.

[0090] Finally, the fifth auxiliary control pin 311 and the sixth auxiliary control pin 312 are symmetrical about the center column, the fifth auxiliary control pin 311 is in the same column as the third auxiliary control pin (307 and 308), and the fifth auxiliary control pin 311 is not adjacent to the third auxiliary control pin (307 and 308); the sixth auxiliary control pin 312 is in the same column as the fourth auxiliary control pin (309 and 310), and the sixth auxiliary control pin 312 is not adjacent to the fourth auxiliary control pin (309 and 310);

[0091] The other pins in the control transmission region are power pins or ground pins, that is, the other pins in the control transmission region are either power pins or ground pins.

[0092] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 , the first edge row is also distributed with a local data pin LBDQ carrying a local data signal lbdq and a local data strobe pin LBDQS carrying a local data strobe signal lbdqs, and the local data pin LBDQ and the local data strobe pin LBDQS are symmetrical about the center column, the local data pin LBDQ is adjacent to one data pin DQ in the first direction, and the local data strobe pin LBDQS is adjacent to one data pin DQ in the first direction;

[0093] The first edge row is also distributed with a seventh auxiliary control pin 313, the seventh auxiliary control pin 313 is adjacent to the center column, and the seventh auxiliary control pin 313 is adjacent to a data pin DQ in the first direction; the other pins in the first edge row and the second edge row are power pins or ground pins, in particular, the power pin VPP is overlapped with another power pin VPP after rotating 180 degrees about the center of the signal array.

[0094] It should be noted that, in Figure 5 , the seventh auxiliary control pin 313 is located on the same side of the center column as the local data strobe pin LBDQS; in other embodiments, the seventh auxiliary control pin 313 can also be located on the same side of the center column as the local data pin LBDQ, at which time the position of the power pin VPP needs to be adjusted accordingly.

[0095] For the above-mentioned 13 auxiliary control pins, the relatively flexible ones are used to transmit the following signals: mask control signals (dml, dmu) or terminal data strobe signals (tdqs_t, tdqs_c), test mode enable signal ten (for controlling the chip to enter / not enter the test mode), reserved signal rfu (which can be customized by each manufacturer), mirror mode enable signal mir (for controlling the chip to enter / not enter the mirror mode), check error signal (for prompting the error checked in the cyclic redundancy check operation) alert_n, first protocol signal msda (I3C related signal), second protocol signal mscl (I3C related signal), termination signal ca_odt, reset signal reset, impedance calibration signal zq.

[0096] It should be noted that the above signals can be transmitted by any auxiliary control pin relatively flexibly, which mainly depends on the structure of the internal circuit and the wiring demand, and the following only provides an illustration and does not constitute a specific limitation.

[0097] In this way, the signal pin array 20 can support the transmission of all the signals in Table 1, thereby being compatible with X4, X8 and X16 chips.

[0098] In a specific embodiment, referring to Figure 6 one pin DM of each pair of first auxiliary control pins is used to carry mask control signals (dml, dmu) or terminal data strobe signals (tdqs_t, tdqs_c), and the other pin (VSS, RFU) of each pair of first auxiliary control pins is used to transmit ground signal vss or as a reserved signal pin; at least one second auxiliary control pin TEN is used to carry a test mode enable signal ten, and at least one second auxiliary control pin RFU is used as a reserved signal pin; at least one third auxiliary control pin MIR is used to carry a mirror mode enable signal mir, and at least one third auxiliary control pin ALERT_n is used to carry a check error signal alert_n; at least one fourth auxiliary control pin MSDA is used to carry a first protocol signal msda, and at least one fourth auxiliary control pin MSCL is used to carry a second protocol signal mscl; a fifth auxiliary control pin CA_ODT is used to carry a termination signal ca_odt, a sixth auxiliary control pin Reset is used to carry a reset signal reset, and a seventh auxiliary control pin ZQ is used to carry an impedance calibration signal zq.

[0099] In this way, some length-insensitive signals can be preferentially transmitted through the auxiliary control signals in the edge row or the edge column, and the layout is reasonable.

[0100] In another embodiment, as Figures 3-6As shown, one pin DM of each pair of first auxiliary control pins is used to carry mask control signals (dml, dmu) or terminal data strobe signals (tdqs_t, tdqs_c), and the other pin (VSS, RFU) of each pair of first auxiliary control pins is used to transmit ground signals or as a reserved signal pin; at least one second auxiliary control pin TEN carries the mirror mode enable signal MIR, and at least one second auxiliary control pin RFU is used as a reserved signal pin; at least one third auxiliary control pin MSDA carries the first protocol signal msda, and at least one third auxiliary control pin MSCL carries the second protocol signal mscl; at least one fourth auxiliary control pin ALERT_n carries the check error signal alert_n, and at least one fourth auxiliary control pin TEN carries the test mode enable signal ten; the fifth auxiliary control pin ZQ carries the impedance calibration signal zq, the sixth auxiliary control pin CA_ODT carries the termination signal ca_odt, and the seventh auxiliary control pin RESET carries the reset signal reset.

[0101] In addition, in this embodiment of the disclosure, the ground pin VSS and the power supply pins (VDD / VDDQ) need to be staggered and evenly distributed. In particular, the ground pin VSS is not adjacent in the first direction, and the power supply pins (VDD / VDDQ) are not adjacent in the first direction.

[0102] In some embodiments, the signal pin array 20 has 14 rows, a first vertical region has 4 columns, and a second vertical region has 4 columns; each pin of the signal pin array 20 is packaged as a ball grid, and in a first direction, the distance between the center points of two adjacent ball grids is a first value, and in the first direction, the distance between the center points of two adjacent ball grids is a second value, wherein the first value is less than the second value.

[0103] like Figure 7 As shown, the center column has 3 columns, so the signal pin array 20 has a size of 14 rows × 11 columns. That is, it has more pins in the first direction and fewer pins in the second direction. Therefore, the distance between the center points of two adjacent ball grids in the first direction can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall size of the signal pin array 20.

[0104] In one specific embodiment, the first value is 750 micrometers and the second value is 800 micrometers, so that the overall signal pin array 20 has a size of 10 mm × 11 mm and provides a total of 14 × 8 = 112 pins.

[0105] See Figure 7 Image (a) shows a schematic diagram of a package structure for a chip with a 4-bit / 8-bit data width. See also... Figure 7(b) shows a schematic diagram of a package structure for a 16-bit data width chip. Because the number of signal pins differs between X4 / X8 and X16 chips, therefore, as... Figure 7 As shown in (a), for the X4 / X8 chip, the chip has a total of 13×6 signal pins, and four corner pins with no signal connection (used only for support), with an overall size of 10 mm × 11 mm; Figure 7 As shown in (b), the X16 chip has a total of 17 × 6 signal pins, with four non-signal pins at its four corners (used only for support), and an overall size of 10 mm × 14 mm. In other words, compared to the X4 / X8 chips, the X16 chip is larger, requiring more substrate area and making it incompatible with Dual-Inline-Memory-Modules (DIMMs) of the same specifications.

[0106] As can be seen from the above, by using the packaging structure 10 provided in this disclosure, X4, X8, and X16 can share a common substrate, and the substrate size can be made close to that of... Figure 7 The size of (a) allows for the cutting of more chip units from a single substrate, reducing costs. It also shortens the design cycle, eliminating the need to design different substrates for chips with different bit widths. Furthermore, testing has shown that compared to… Figure 8 In (a), the signal pin array 20 provided in this disclosure has a longer solder joint life, less plastic strain, and a longer fatigue life.

[0107] In another embodiment of this disclosure, a signal pin array 30 is disposed on the surface of the packaging substrate 11. See also Figure 8 This illustrates a schematic diagram of a signal pin array 30 provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 8 As shown, the signal pin array 30 includes a plurality of data pins DQ, and the data pins DQ are used to transmit data signals; in the second direction, at most two data pins DQ are allowed to be arranged adjacent to each other.

[0108] It should be noted that, in the first direction, at most one data pin DQ is allowed to be arranged adjacently; and, in two adjacent rows, at most one row has data pin DQ distributed, or in other words, at most one data pin DQ is located around each data pin DQ (top, bottom, left, right, top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right), thereby improving the signal distortion problem while ensuring transmission quality.

[0109] In particular, the signal pin array 30 provided in this disclosure can also support X4, X8, and X16 chips.

[0110] In some embodiments, seeFigure 8 For the first part of the data pins DQ, which are located in the edge row of the signal pin array, and any data pin DQ of the first part is not adjacent to other data pins DQ; for the second part of the data pins DQ, which are located in the non-edge row and non-edge column of the signal pin array 30, every 2 data pins DQ of the second part are adjacent in the second direction; wherein, in the first direction, the data pins DQ of different rows are spaced by one row of pins.

[0112] In this way, the signal pin array 30 allows the data pins DQ to be located in the edge row, and allows 2 data pins DQ to be arranged continuously adjacent, and allows the command address pins CA to be located in the edge row, which can reduce the area of the signal pin array and reduce the cost of the chip.
