Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention mainly relates to the field of single-event testing of integrated circuit chips, and specifically refers to a heat dissipation system and method for single-event testing of flip chips. Background Technology

[0002] To improve the heat dissipation and interface performance of integrated circuit chips, high-end integrated circuit chips such as microprocessors have adopted flip-chip packaging in large quantities, and heat sinks are installed on the chip surface for heat dissipation.

[0003] Currently, flip-chip heat dissipation structures such as Figure 1 As shown. The die 300 consists of a substrate 100 and an interconnect layer 200. Metal balls 400 (bumps) made of materials such as tin-lead or tin-silver connect the first surface 500 (pad) of the interconnect layer 200 of the die 300 to the second surface 700 (pad) on the substrate 600, thereby connecting the die 300 to the substrate 600. Solder balls 800 are connected to the bottom surface of the substrate 600. At this time, the interconnect layer 200 of the die 300 faces downwards and is connected to the packaging substrate 600, while the substrate 100 of the die 300 faces upwards. A heat sink 1 covers the substrate 100 of the die 300.

[0004] In single-event experiments, heavy-ion accelerators are typically used to generate high-energy heavy ions to irradiate silicon materials. Since the range of high-energy heavy ions generated by heavy-ion accelerators in silicon is only tens to hundreds of micrometers, to ensure that the high-energy heavy ions can reach the flip chip during single-event experiments, the heat sink 1 must be removed before performing single-event experiments on the flip chip, exposing the substrate 100 of the bare die 300. However, after removing the heat sink 1, the heat dissipation capacity of the flip chip decreases drastically, and it generally cannot function properly when the operating power exceeds 5 watts.

[0005] To address these issues, existing traditional methods involve reducing the operating frequency of the flip chip or disabling some internal modules and testing each module separately to lower the operating power of the flip chip to below 5 watts before conducting single-event experiments. However, this approach suffers from several drawbacks. Reducing the chip's operating frequency leads to an overestimation of the flip chip's single-event transient immunity, significantly increasing single-event experiment errors. Disabling some internal modules and testing each module separately increases accelerator time and costs. Furthermore, the coupling effect between modules results in a substantial error in synthesizing the overall single-event immunity of the chip from module-level single-event immunity test data.

[0021] Step S6: The power supply supplies power to the semiconductor refrigeration piece;
