Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of semiconductor packaging technology, and in particular to a chip bonding apparatus, a chip hot-press bonding machine and method. Background Technology
[0002] Chip stacking packaging, a highly forward-looking semiconductor packaging technology, is leading the industry towards miniaturization and high performance. Its core principle lies in the ingenious vertical stacking of multiple chips (dies) or pre-packaged chips, coupled with advanced interconnect technologies to ensure close collaboration. Even more remarkable is its exceptional performance optimization. Taking the well-known HBM (High Bandwidth Memory) packaging as an example, chip stacking significantly reduces the distance between memory chips, resulting in an exponential increase in data transfer rates. This provides powerful support for scenarios with extremely high memory bandwidth requirements, such as data center servers and high-performance graphics processing. Simultaneously, this architecture reduces power consumption and extends device battery life, offering multiple benefits. Chip stacking packaging technology is reshaping the semiconductor industry landscape with its unique advantages, laying a solid foundation for the future development of intelligent technologies, and continuously pushing the boundaries of electronic product performance.
[0003] In chip stacking and packaging, chip manufacturing factors such as wafer thinning, chip surface flatness, and irregular edge shapes, as well as alignment factors during chip stacking such as alignment equipment accuracy limitations, alignment mark accuracy issues, and adhesive material characteristics, can cause the upper layer chip to tilt relative to the lower layer chip. Chip tilting can lead to problems such as poor electrical connections, deteriorated heat dissipation, reduced mechanical stability, and decreased package dimensional accuracy, thereby affecting the performance and reliability of the stacked chips.
[0004] Currently, solutions to the problem of upper-layer chips tending to tilt relative to lower-layer chips are still being explored. In-depth research is being conducted on improving chip manufacturing precision, refining alignment technology and equipment, optimizing packaging structure and materials, and strengthening packaging process control, in order to effectively solve the tilting problem in chip stacking packaging and promote the further development of chip stacking packaging technology. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The problem to be solved by this application is to provide a chip bonding apparatus, a chip hot-press bonding machine and method to alleviate the problem that the upper chip is prone to tilting relative to the lower chip.
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a chip bonding apparatus, comprising: A cylinder body having a receiving cavity for containing gas; The pressing actuator includes multiple pressing pins. The pressing actuator is slidably disposed on the body wall of the cylinder body, and the multiple pressing pins are disposed through the cylinder body. One end of the multiple pressing pins that protrudes through the cylinder body is the pressing end. The sliding directions of the multiple pressing pins are parallel and perpendicular to the packaging plane of the chip structure. When a certain amount of gas is introduced into the cavity, the gas in the cavity exerts pressure on the pressing actuator and drives the pressing column to move closer to the chip structure. Multiple pressing ends protruding from the cylinder body are located on the same plane parallel to the packaging plane of the chip structure. The end of the pressing end is used to contact the upper surface of the chip structure. When the upper surface of the chip structure is not perpendicular to the pressing post, as the pressing end moves away from the cylinder body, at least one of the pressing ends first contacts the upper surface of the chip structure and continues to introduce gas into the receiving cavity. At least the pressing end that contacts the upper surface of the chip structure first can apply pressure to the upper surface of the chip structure, so that the upper surface of the chip structure is perpendicular to the pressing end.
[0007] The chip bonding apparatus provided in this application uses a pressing actuator with multiple pressing posts, which slides through the body wall of the cylinder. When gas is introduced into the cavity, according to Pascal's law, the gas pressure is uniformly transmitted through the apparatus, and the system eventually reaches a state of hydrostatic equilibrium, making the pressure at each pressing post equal. In chip stacking applications, when multiple chips are stacked sequentially, the apparatus of this application applies pressure to the top chip, enabling thermo-bonding between the upper and lower chips. The multiple pressing posts in the apparatus can press against different positions on the top surface of the chip. When the top chip is tilted, under a certain gas pressure, all pressing posts will move to the same level, and one pressing post will first contact the tilted part of the chip and press it down. As the pressure increases, the pressure will increase, and the tilted part of the chip will be pressed down. Other pressing posts will also contact other areas on the top surface of the chip in sequence, causing the chip to change from tilted to horizontal, thereby effectively improving the tilting problem during chip stacking.

The control system determines whether all pressing columns have reached the predetermined position height based on the position signals fed back by the position sensors. The predetermined position height is the theoretically calculated height of the chip stack. When the control system detects that a pressing post has not reached the predetermined height, the control system either controls the discharge of gas from the sub-cylinder corresponding to the pressing post that has not reached the predetermined height or controls the continued filling of gas into the receiving cavity, so that the pressing post that has not reached the predetermined height continues to move closer to the chip structure to reach the predetermined height.
[0052] In actual use, after the hot-press bonding is completed, the control system also controls the injection of gas into each sub-cylinder and / or controls the discharge of gas from the receiving cavity, so that the pressure on the pressing column in the sub-cylinder is greater than the pressure on the receiving cavity, so that each pressing column resets.

The control system determines whether all pressing columns have reached the predetermined position height based on the position signals fed back by the position sensors. The predetermined position height is the theoretically calculated height of the chip stack. When the control system detects that a pressing post has not reached the predetermined height, the control system continues to fill the cavity with gas, causing the pressing post that has not reached the predetermined height to continue moving closer to the chip structure until it reaches the predetermined height.
[0054] In actual use, after the thermo-bonding is completed, the control system also controls the discharge of gas in the containment cavity so that each pressing column is reset under the action of the first elastic element.

The control system determines whether all pressing columns have reached the predetermined position height based on the position signals fed back by the position sensors. The predetermined position height is the theoretically calculated height of the chip stack. When the control system detects that a pressing post has not reached the predetermined height, the control system continues to fill the cavity with gas, causing the pressing post that has not reached the predetermined height to continue moving closer to the chip structure until it reaches the predetermined height.
[0056] In actual use, after the thermo-bonding is completed, the control system also controls the discharge of gas in the containment cavity so that each pressing column is reset under the action of the second elastic element.
[0057] In actual use, the chip bonding device can continue to thermally bond the chip structure to prevent the chip structure from tilting during stacking, thereby ensuring the electrical connection performance, heat dissipation performance, mechanical stability and packaging size accuracy between the bonded chips, and ensuring the overall performance and reliability of the stacked chips.
[0058] The advantages of the technical solution in this application are: The chip bonding apparatus provided in this application uses a pressing actuator with multiple pressing posts, which slides through the body wall of the cylinder. When gas is introduced into the cavity, according to Pascal's law, the gas pressure is uniformly transmitted through the apparatus, and the system eventually reaches a state of hydrostatic equilibrium, making the pressure at each pressing post equal. In chip stacking applications, when multiple chips are stacked sequentially, the apparatus of this application applies pressure to the top chip, enabling thermo-bonding between the upper and lower chips. The multiple pressing posts in the apparatus can press against different positions on the top surface of the chip. When the top chip is tilted, under a certain gas pressure, all pressing posts will move to the same level, and one pressing post will first contact the tilted part of the chip and press it down. As the pressure increases, the pressure will increase, and the tilted part of the chip will be pressed down. Other pressing posts will also contact other areas on the top surface of the chip in sequence, causing the chip to change from tilted to horizontal, thereby effectively improving the tilting problem during chip stacking. Meanwhile, this application provides two possible implementation methods: the structure of the sub-cylinder body and the sub-piston is flexible and simple, and the structure of the deformable diaphragm and the pressing plate and the pressure rod is simple.

Figure 6 This is a schematic flowchart of a method for hot-press bonding chips using a chip hot-press bonding machine according to an embodiment of this application. The chip bonding apparatus includes: The cylinder body 10 has a receiving cavity 101 for containing gas. Pressing actuator 20 includes multiple pressing posts 210. The pressing actuator 20 is slidably disposed on the body wall of the cylinder body 10, and the multiple pressing posts 210 are disposed through the cylinder body 10. One end of the multiple pressing posts 210 that protrudes from the cylinder body 10 is a pressing end 211. The sliding directions of the multiple pressing posts 210 are parallel and perpendicular to the packaging plane of the chip structure 30. When a certain amount of gas is introduced into the receiving cavity 101, the gas in the receiving cavity 101 exerts pressure on the pressing actuator 20 and drives the pressing column 210 to move closer to the chip structure. The pressing ends 211 of the multiple cylinder bodies 10 are located on the same plane parallel to the packaging plane of the chip structure 30. The end of the pressing end 211 is used to contact the upper surface of the chip structure 30. When the upper surface of the chip structure 30 is not perpendicular to the pressing post 210, as the pressing end 211 moves away from the cylinder body 10, at least one pressing end 211 first contacts the upper surface of the chip structure 30 and continues to introduce gas into the receiving cavity 101. At least the pressing end 211 that first contacts the upper surface of the chip structure 30 can apply pressure to the upper surface of the chip structure 30, so that the upper surface of the chip structure 30 is perpendicular to the pressing post 210.

When gas is filled into the receiving cavity 101, according to Pascal's law, the gas pressure is uniformly transmitted in the device, and the system will eventually reach a state of hydrostatic equilibrium, so that the pressure at each pressing post 210 is equal. In the application of stacked chips 320, when multiple chips 320 are stacked sequentially upwards, the device of this application applies pressure to the top chip 320, enabling thermo-bonding between the upper and lower chips 320. The multiple pressing posts 210 in the device of this application can press against different positions on the top surface of the chip 320. When the top chip 320 is tilted, under a certain gas pressure, all pressing posts 210 will move to the same level, and one pressing post 210 will first contact the tilted part of the chip 320 and press this part downwards. As the pressure increases, the pressure will increase, and the tilted part of the chip 320 will be pressed down. Other pressing posts 210 will also contact other areas on the top surface of the chip 320 in sequence, so that the chip 320 changes from tilted to horizontal, thereby effectively improving the tilting problem in the chip stacking process.

The steps of applying pressure to a chip structure using a chip bonding device to achieve thermo-bonding include: Position the chip bonding device above the chip structure to be bonded; Gas is introduced into the receiving cavity by the control system, so that the gas in the receiving cavity exerts pressure on the pressing actuator and drives the multiple pressing columns to move closer to the chip structure. The control system determines whether all the pressing columns have reached the predetermined position height based on the position signal fed back by the position sensor. The predetermined position height is the theoretically calculated height of the chip stack. When the control system detects that a pressing post has not reached the predetermined height, the control system continues to fill the cavity with gas, causing the pressing post that has not reached the predetermined height to continue moving closer to the chip structure until it reaches the predetermined height.
