Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductors, and in particular to a heterogeneous TSV chip reliability test device based on wire bonding. Background Art

[0002] As advanced chip manufacturing processes move toward 3 nm, the density of transistors on the two-dimensional plane of the wafer is gradually approaching the physical limit, accompanied by a substantial increase in chip R&D costs and an extension of the R&D cycle. As a result, "Moore's Law" has failed. Three-dimensional integrated packaging based on through-silicon-vias (TSV) structures has therefore come into being. Three-dimensional integrated packaging integrates wafers vertically through TSV and stacking to obtain packaged chips with smaller size, higher bandwidth, lower latency, and higher performance. It can also achieve heterogeneous integration with micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) to obtain functionally integrated, high-performance, and low-cost chip products. This significant advantage has made three-dimensional packaged chips gain attention from academia and engineering, and related products have gradually moved from laboratories to market applications.

[0003] As "Moore's Law" gradually fails, the traditional technical route of improving chip performance by increasing the two-dimensional density of transistors has encountered a bottleneck. Therefore, three-dimensional integrated packaging based on through-silicon-vias (TSV) structure came into being. Three-dimensional integrated packaging integrates wafers in the vertical direction through TSV, thereby achieving packaged chips with smaller size, higher bandwidth, lower latency and higher performance. With the diversification of chip functions, heterogeneous integration is also the main route for the development of semiconductor technology in the post-Moore era. Therefore, the integration of three-dimensional integrated packaging and heterogeneous integration will be an important development direction for high-performance chips in the future. As one of the typical and key structures of three-dimensional integrated packaging, TSV undertakes energy, signal path and mechanical support functions in the chip. Its reliability directly affects the performance and service life of the chip, so it needs to be scientifically, comprehensively and accurately tested and evaluated for reliability.

[0004] However, for heterogeneous chips, the distribution of TSVs will show different distributions according to their functional requirements, which means that the degradation stresses on TSVs in different positions are also different, which directly leads to huge differences in the performance and service life of different TSVs. This shows that the layout of TSVs in heterogeneous chips and the presence or absence of redundant structures have an important impact on the reliability of the chip. The current research on the reliability of TSV structures is mainly based on finite element thermal simulation, supplemented by experimental research. The few experimental studies designed dedicated TSV test chips, but did not pay attention to the heterogeneity of the TSV interconnection structure in the chip, which has great limitations in evaluating the reliability of heterogeneous three-dimensional integrated chips.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention or the technical solutions in the prior art, the drawings required for use in the embodiments are briefly introduced below.

[0026] When describing the embodiments of the present invention, the orientation or positional relationship expressed by the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the relevant drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0027] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments cannot be described one by one here, but the embodiments of the present invention are not therefore limited to the following embodiments.

[0028] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a heterogeneous TSV chip reliability test device based on wire bonding of the present invention comprises: a heterogeneous TSV chip 1, a chip fixture 2, a test PCB board 3 and a test unit; in this embodiment, the heterogeneous TSV chip 1 is detachably mounted on the chip fixture 2; the chip fixture 2 is detachably mounted on the test PCB board 3; the test PCB board 3 is detachably mounted on the test unit, and the test PCB board 3 is electrically connected to the test unit; wherein, the heterogeneous TSV chip 1 is wire-bonded to the test PCB board 3. In this embodiment, the heterogeneous TSV chip 1 includes: a silicon substrate 11 and a plurality of TSV test link groups 12 arranged on the silicon substrate 11; wherein, a plurality of test blocks are arranged on the silicon substrate 11, and each test block is provided with at least one TSV test link group 12; further, the TSV test link group 12 has a plurality of TSV test links 12a, and the link types of the plurality of TSV test links 12a are different; wherein, the TSV test links 12a in a TSV test link group 12 can be set to four, so as to correspond to four link types respectively, which is specifically: 2, 4, 6, and 8 surrounding TSV structures are evenly arranged on the circumference of a circle with a central TSV structure as the center; of course, the TSV test links 12a in each TSV test link group 12 can also be set to other numbers, such as five, six, etc., so as to correspond to the increase or decrease of corresponding link types respectively.

[0029] In this embodiment, the area of ​​each test block can be allocated according to the number of arranged TSV test link groups 12, the number and distribution of TSV test links 12a. For example, four test blocks are arranged on the silicon substrate 11, which are: a first test block A, a second test block B, a third test block C and a fourth test block D; accordingly, according to the specific number and distribution of TSV test links 12a, the area of ​​the first test block A can be divided into the largest, while the areas of the second test block B and the third test block C can be divided into the same, and the area of ​​the fourth test block D is the smallest, wherein the TSV test link 12a in the first test block A, the second test block B, the third test block C and the fourth test block D has the smallest area. The number of 2a is set in a ratio of 4:2:2:1, so that a sufficient number of TSV test links 12a are provided in the first test block A, which can be used to fully clarify the influence of the TSV structure pitch and the number of surrounding TSV structures on the reliability of the central TSV structure; the second test block B is used to clarify the influence of the number of surrounding TSV structures on the reliability of the central TSV structure under different redundancy forms; the third test block C is used to clarify the influence of the number of surrounding TSV structures and the surrounding TSV structures under different redundancy forms on the reliability of the central TSV structure; the fourth test block D is used to clarify the influence of the number of different surrounding TSV structures and the redundancy forms on the reliability of the central TSV structure with different redundancy forms.

[0030] Therefore, through the above-mentioned chip structure, each test block can have different effects. Therefore, for each test block, there is no need to repeatedly set the other three types of pitches in the first test block A, so as to realize the analysis of all the above-mentioned influencing factors, which effectively reduces the complexity of the chip structure of the present invention.

[0031] In this embodiment, the number of TSV structures included in the TSV test link 12a of the same type is different between different test blocks. For example, the number of TSV structures included in the TSV test link 12a of the same type between the first test block A and the second test block B is different, the number of TSV structures included in the TSV test link 12a of the same type between the second test block B and the third test block C is different, and the number of TSV structures included in the TSV test link 12a of the same type between the third test block C and the fourth test block D is different.

[0032] In this embodiment, three wire bonding parts 12aI are provided in each TSV test link 12a, and the TSV test link 12a is selectively wire-bonded with the pad 3a of the test PCB board 3 based on the wire bonding part 12aI and using the Kelvin chain four-wire test method.

[0033] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the TSV test link 12a includes: a central TSV structure 12a1 and a surrounding TSV structure 12a2; wherein, there are multiple surrounding TSV structures 12a2, and the multiple surrounding TSV structures 12a2 are regularly distributed on the circumference of a circle with the central TSV structure 12a1 as the center; specifically, the multiple surrounding TSV structures 12a2 are distributed at equal intervals on the circumference of a circle with the central TSV structure 12a1 as the center.

[0035] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of first TSV test link groups 12A are arranged in the first test block A of the silicon substrate 11; wherein, four first TSV test link groups 12A are arranged in the first test block A, and each first TSV test link group 12A contains four first TSV test links 12aA of different types. In this embodiment, the first TSV structure pitches used by the first TSV test links 12aA in different first TSV test link groups 12A are different; specifically, between different first TSV test link groups 12A, the same type of first TSV test links 12aA can achieve flexible control of their first TSV structure pitches by controlling the radius of the circle of the first surrounding TSV structure 12a2A around the first central TSV structure 12a1A, wherein the first TSV structure pitches between adjacent first TSV test link groups 12A are arranged in a sequentially increasing manner, and the first TSV structure pitches selected in each first TSV test link group 12A are set according to actual measurement needs, as long as no interference occurs, and will not be repeated here.

[0036] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of second TSV test link groups 12B are provided in the second test block B of the silicon substrate 11; wherein, two second TSV test link groups 12B are provided in the second test block B, and each second TSV test link group 12B contains four different types of second TSV test links 12aB, and the four types of the second TSV test links 12aB are consistent with the four types of the first TSV test links 12aA. Accordingly, the second TSV structure pitches used by the second TSV test links 12aB in different second TSV test link groups 12B are the same or different.

[0037] In this embodiment, the second central TSV structure 12a1B of the second TSV test link 12aB in the second TSV test link group 12B is an interconnected redundant structure composed of multiple TSV structures; wherein the number of TSV structures included in the second central TSV structure 12a1B of different second TSV test link groups 12B is different; specifically, the second central TSV structure 12a1B in one second TSV test link group 12B adopts an interconnected redundant structure composed of two TSV structures, and the second central TSV structure 12a1B in another second TSV test link group 12B adopts an interconnected redundant structure composed of four TSV structures. In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the reliable connection of multiple TSV structures, regular metal plates can be correspondingly set at the ends of multiple TSV structures to achieve mutual interconnection redundancy. If the metal electrode needs to be connected at the end of the TSV structure, the regular metal plate can be set together with the metal electrode. If the metal electrode does not need to be connected at the end of the TSV structure, the regular metal plate is set independently. When an interconnection redundant structure consisting of two TSV structures is adopted, the regular metal plate used is an oblong metal plate. If an interconnection redundant structure consisting of four TSV structures is adopted, the regular metal plate used is a circular metal plate. This can facilitate the unification of the layout positions between adjacent TSV structures in each interconnection redundant structure.

[0038] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of third TSV test link groups 12C are provided in the third test block C of the silicon substrate 11; wherein, two third TSV test link groups 12C are provided in the third test block C, and each third TSV test link group 12C contains four third TSV test links 12aC of different types, and the four types of the third TSV test links 12aC are consistent with the four types of the first TSV test links 12aA. Accordingly, the third TSV structure pitches adopted by the third TSV test links 12aC in different third TSV test link groups 12C are the same or different.

[0039] In this embodiment, a third surrounding TSV structure 12a2C in the third TSV test link 12aC of the third TSV test link group 12C is an interconnected redundant structure composed of multiple TSV structures; for example, the second third surrounding TSV structure 12a2C in the clockwise direction along the port of the third TSV test link 12aC is set as a redundant structure. Of course, other third surrounding TSV structures 12a2C can also be set as redundant structures, but the control of a single variable (redundant form, redundant number, and redundant position) must be guaranteed. Among them, in different third TSV test link groups 12C, the number of TSV structures contained in the third surrounding TSV structure 12a2C using an interconnected redundant structure is different. Specifically, the third surrounding TSV structure 12a2C in one third TSV test link group 12C adopts an interconnected redundant structure composed of two TSV structures, and the third surrounding TSV structure 12a2C in another third TSV test link group 12C adopts an interconnected redundant structure composed of four TSV structures. In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the reliable connection of multiple TSV structures, regular metal plates can be correspondingly set at the ends of multiple TSV structures to achieve mutual interconnection redundancy. If the metal electrode needs to be connected at the end of the TSV structure, the regular metal plate can be set together with the metal electrode. If the metal electrode does not need to be connected at the end of the TSV structure, the regular metal plate is set independently. When an interconnection redundant structure consisting of two TSV structures is adopted, the regular metal plate used is an oblong metal plate. If an interconnection redundant structure consisting of four TSV structures is adopted, the regular metal plate used is a circular metal plate.

Accordingly, the fourth TSV structure pitches adopted by the fourth TSV test links 12aD in different fourth TSV test link groups 12D are the same or different.

[0041] In this embodiment, the fourth central TSV structure 12a1D and a fourth peripheral TSV structure 12a2D of the fourth TSV test link 12aD of the fourth TSV test link group 12D are respectively interconnected redundant structures composed of multiple TSV structures; for example, the second fourth peripheral TSV structure 12a2D clockwise along the port of the fourth TSV test link 12aD is set as a redundant structure. Of course, other fourth peripheral TSV structures 12a2D can also be set as redundant structures, but the control of a single variable (redundant form, redundant quantity, and redundant position) must be guaranteed. Among them, in different fourth TSV test link groups 12D, the number of TSV structures contained in the fourth central TSV structure 12a1D and the fourth peripheral TSV structure 12a2D using the interconnected redundant structure is different.
