[0054] Generally, the semiconductor packaging process may include: providing a semiconductor device with electrical functions, placing the semiconductor device on a packaging substrate, using packaging materials to cover the semiconductor device, the semiconductor device can be coupled through the packaging substrate, and a conductive contact or conductive ball is set on the surface of the side of the packaging substrate where the semiconductor device is not set to form a package junction; wherein the conductive ball can lead out the electrical signal of the packaging substrate to realize the electrical signal interconnection between the semiconductor device and the external integrated circuit. A semiconductor device may include one or more semiconductor chips (Die), and a packaging structure may encapsulate one or more semiconductor devices, that is, a packaging structure may encapsulate one or more semiconductor chips, and a semiconductor chip may be a tube core cut from a finished wafer according to a predetermined cutting path or cutting line. The packaging structure is then integrated into a printed circuit board through welding or patch processing to realize the electrical function of the semiconductor device or semiconductor chip.
[0055] A plurality of package structures, wirings or other electronic components can be integrated on a printed circuit board. To facilitate the integration and interconnection of the various package structures, positioning marks corresponding to the various package structures are marked on the printed circuit board. The package structure is aligned with the corresponding positioning marks, and the contacts of the package structure are welded to the contacts on the printed circuit board to achieve electrical interconnection. After welding, leads can also be set to couple the package structure and the terminals on the printed circuit board.
[0056] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a package structure 10, including: a first package substrate 110, having a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite to each other; a semiconductor device 120 located on the first surface of the first package substrate 110, coupled to the first package substrate 110. The first surface is an upper surface in the z direction, the second surface is a lower surface in the z direction, the z direction may be a thickness direction, the x direction may be perpendicular to the z direction, and the y direction involved in other drawings may be perpendicular to the z direction.
[0057] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in some other embodiments, a package system 11 is provided, including a second package substrate 140, and a package structure located on the second package substrate 140, wherein the first package substrate 110 of the package structure and the positioning mark 141 ( Figure 3 The first package substrate 110 may include semiconductor materials, such as silicon interposers, germanium interposers, etc., and may also include materials such as organic resins, glass or ceramics. The second package substrate 140 may include a printed circuit board, or a circuit substrate provided with interconnection circuits, resistors, contacts, terminals or other electronic components. Figure 2 The package structure may include Figure 1 A package structure 10.
[0058] The positioning mark 141 can be printed on the second package substrate 140 by silk screen printing, and a contact point is arranged in the region of the positioning mark 141, which can be coupled with the package structure in a contact manner. For example, the conductive ball 130 on the second surface of the first package substrate 110 of the package structure 10 is welded and coupled with the conductive contact point 1401 on the second package substrate 140; or it is fixed to the second package substrate 140 by plug-in buckle, and the conductive ball 130 is contact-coupled with the conductive contact point 1401 in a non-welding manner, and can be flexibly disassembled.
[0059] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3As shown, the positioning marks 141 on the first packaging substrate 110 and the second packaging substrate 140 have the same size, and the orthographic projection of the first packaging substrate 110 on the second packaging substrate 140 coincides with the positioning mark 141, that is, the orthographic projection of the first packaging substrate 110 on the xoy plane coincides with the orthographic projection of the positioning mark 141 on the xoy plane. Figure 4 As shown, the size of the first packaging substrate 110 is larger than the size of the positioning mark 141 on the second packaging substrate 140 , and the orthographic projection of the positioning mark 141 on the xoy plane falls within the orthographic projection of the first packaging substrate 110 on the xoy plane. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the embodiment, the first packaging substrate 110 and the positioning mark 141 have the same shape, and the size of the first packaging substrate 110 is greater than or equal to the size of the positioning mark 141. Figure 4 As shown in the example, when the package structure 10 is aligned with the positioning mark 141 along the z direction, the positioning mark 141 will be blocked by the first package substrate 110, making it difficult to align the package structure 10 on the second package substrate 140, thereby reducing the alignment accuracy. Figure 3 As shown in the example, when the package structure 10 is aligned with the positioning mark 141 along the z direction, the positioning mark 141 completely overlaps with the first package substrate 110 and uses the corner for alignment, which improves the alignment accuracy but reduces the area of the first package substrate 110. The contact performance between the terminals on the edge of the positioning mark 141 or adjacent to the edge and the corresponding terminals on the first substrate is reduced, and the terminals are easily exposed, increasing the risk of cold solder joints or broken contacts, and reducing stability. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the package structure 10 is integrated into the second package substrate 140, and the semiconductor device 120 is coupled to the second package substrate 140 through the first package substrate 110 or other leads to realize the device function. In order to improve the integration of the second package substrate 140, the positioning mark 141 can be arranged in size and shape according to the size of the semiconductor device 120, and the size and shape of the positioning mark 141 can be the same as the size and shape of the semiconductor device 120.
[0060] The disclosed embodiment provides an alignment scheme for a first packaging substrate 110 and a positioning mark 141 on a second packaging substrate 140. The shape of the first packaging substrate 110 is different from the shape of the positioning mark 141. At least one corner on the first packaging substrate 110 is aligned with at least one corner on the positioning mark 141 to improve the alignment accuracy. The area of the first packaging substrate 110 is larger than the area of the positioning mark 141. The area of the first packaging substrate 110 is larger than the area of the positioning mark 141. The area of the first packaging substrate 110 is larger than the area of the semiconductor device 120, thereby increasing the wiring area of the first packaging substrate 110.

At this time, the two surfaces of the first package substrate 110 and the interior of the first package substrate 110 may not be provided with a conductive structure, and the first package substrate 110 only provides support for the semiconductor device 120. A groove may be provided on the first surface of the first packaging substrate 110, with the opening of the groove facing the first surface, that is, the opening of the groove facing the positive z direction.

[0065] In some embodiments, the first conductive contact 1231 on the lower surface of the semiconductor device 120 can be used as a bonding pad to bond with the pad on the first package substrate 110 to achieve coupling and fixation.

In other words, according to some embodiments, all NAND memory strings 308 in the same memory block 304 have an array common source (ACS). According to some embodiments, the TSG 312 of each NAND memory string 308 is coupled to a corresponding bit line (BL) 316, and data can be read from or written to the bit line 316 via an output bus (not shown). In some embodiments, each NAND memory string 308 is configured to be selected or deselected by applying a select voltage (e.g., higher than the threshold voltage of a transistor having TSG 312) or a deselect voltage (e.g., 0 V) to a corresponding TSG 312 via one or more TSG lines 313 and / or by applying a select voltage (e.g., higher than the threshold voltage of a transistor having BSG 310) or a deselect voltage (e.g., 0 V) to a corresponding BSG 310 via one or more BSG lines 315.
[0127] like Fig.14As shown in , the NAND memory string 308 can be organized into a plurality of memory blocks 304, each of which can have a common source line 314 (e.g., coupled to ground). In some embodiments, each memory block 304 is a basic data unit for an erase operation, that is, all memory cells 306 on the same memory block 304 are erased at the same time. In order to erase the memory cells 306 in the selected memory block 304a, the source lines 314 coupled to the selected memory block 304a and the unselected memory blocks 304b in the same plane as the selected memory block 304a can be biased with an erase voltage (Vers) (e.g., a high positive voltage (e.g., 20V or higher)). It should be understood that in some examples, the erase operation can be performed at the half-memory block level, at the quarter-memory block level, or at a level with any suitable number of memory blocks or any suitable fraction of memory blocks. The memory cells 306 of adjacent NAND memory strings 308 can be coupled by word lines 318, which select which row of memory cells 306 is affected by read and program operations.

In another example, the page buffer / sense amplifier 504 may perform a program verification operation to ensure that the data has been correctly programmed into the memory cell 306 coupled to the selected word line 318. In yet another example, the page buffer / sense amplifier 504 may also sense a low-power signal from the bit line 316 representing a data bit stored in the memory cell 306, and amplify a small voltage swing to a recognizable logic level in a read operation. The column decoder / bit line driver 506 may be configured to be controlled by the control logic 512, and select one or more NAND memory strings 308 by applying a bit line voltage generated from the voltage generator 510.

The row decoder / word line driver 508 may also be configured to drive the word line 318 using the word line voltage generated from the voltage generator 510. In some embodiments, the row decoder / word line driver 508 may also select / deselect and drive the BSG line 315 and the TSG line 313. As described in detail below, the row decoder / word line driver 508 is configured to perform a programming operation on the memory cell 306 coupled to the (one or more) selected word lines 318.

[0135] In some specific embodiments, the programming operation may include multiple stages. For example, the programming operation may include a channel precharge stage, a channel boosting stage, a programming pulse stage, and a recovery stage. In the channel precharge stage, the voltage generator may generate the voltage required for the next stage, such as the voltage applied to each gate, the channel boosting voltage, etc.; in the channel boosting stage, the channel boosting voltage may be applied to the selected word line; in the programming pulse stage, the target voltage for each programming may be applied to the selected word line. In the recovery stage, the voltage of both the unselected word line and the selected word line may be reduced to the corresponding voltage, such as Vcc, Vdd. In the recovery stage, the voltage may be reduced to the corresponding voltage by one or more step-by-step steps, such as first reducing the voltage to an intermediate voltage, and maintaining the intermediate voltage for a period of time, and then reducing the voltage to the corresponding voltage.
