[0002] With the rapid development of millimeter-wave technology, the high-frequency communication industry has increasingly higher performance requirements for chip interconnect packaging. Traditional bonded wire interconnects have large parasitic inductance, which easily leads to signal transmission loss and reflection, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-frequency scenarios.
[0003] Currently, the industry commonly uses flip-chip interconnect technology, which connects the electrical connection points of the chip to the printed circuit board or the front side of the package through thermal vias, mitigating the parasitic effects caused by electromagnetic coupling between bond wires to some extent. However, in the millimeter-wave band, due to the impedance mismatch between the load connected to the via and the via, signal reflection and loss still exist, thus affecting the integrity of signal transmission.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments.

[0028] Traditionally, chips are interconnected primarily using bonding wires. However, solder ribbons or wires, as bonding wires, have significant parasitic inductance and conductor loss, limiting the transmission performance of RF chips. With the continuous development of chip packaging, current technologies typically employ flip-chip interconnect technology. This involves placing the chip with its active side facing down, and using pads to achieve electrical connection between the chip and the substrate or package carrier for flip-chip interconnection. Thermal vias electrically connect the RF and DC nodes on the front side of the chip to the ground plane, forming the internal interconnection. Signals are transmitted from the active side of the chip to the bottom ground plane. Using vias as the transmission path for chip input and output RF signals mitigates the parasitic effects caused by electromagnetic coupling from bonding wires.
[0029] However, with the widespread use of millimeter waves in RF chips, signal reflection and loss still exist when using thermal vias instead of bonding wires. In the millimeter wave band, any tiny impedance change can cause signal reflection. Since thermal vias, as vertical channels, have altered characteristic impedance due to their geometry, discontinuities between the via's impedance and the impedance of the connected load can cause impedance abrupt changes at the connection point, leading to signal loss and degraded signal transmission performance. Therefore, this application provides one or more embodiments of a chip interconnect device with dual vias, which can solve the above problems and improve the signal transmission performance of chip interconnect packages.
[0030] Please see Figure 1One embodiment of this application provides a chip interconnect device with dual vias. The chip interconnect device includes a dielectric layer 100, a ground layer 101, a first pad 102, a second pad 103, a first microstrip line 104, and a second microstrip line 105. The dielectric layer 100 is provided with a first via 106 and a second via 107, wherein:
[0031] The first pad 102 and the second pad 103 are disposed on the upper surface of the dielectric layer 100. The top end of the first via 106 is connected to the first pad 102, and the top end of the second via 107 is connected to the second pad 103. The first via 106 and the second via 107 penetrate the dielectric layer 100 perpendicularly. The ground layer 101 is disposed below the dielectric layer 100, and the bottom ends of the first via 106 and the second via 107 are electrically connected to the ground layer 101. The first microstrip line 104 and the second microstrip line 105 are disposed on the upper surface of the dielectric layer 100. The first microstrip line 104 is electrically connected to the first via 106 through the first pad 102, and the first pad 102 is electrically connected to the second pad 103 through the second microstrip line 105.
[0032] Specifically, the first via 106 and the second via 107 penetrate the dielectric layer 100 perpendicularly. They are electrically connected on the upper surface of the dielectric layer 100 via the first pad 102, the second pad 103, and the second microstrip line 105, and electrically connected on the lower surface of the dielectric layer 100 via the ground layer 101. Preferably, the central axis of the first via 106 is aligned with the geometric center of the first pad 102, and the central axis of the second via 107 is preferably aligned with the geometric center of the second pad 103, allowing for a deviation in via cross-section not exceeding the size of the pad. The first microstrip line 104 is connected to the first pad 102, and both ends of the second microstrip line 105 are connected to the first pad 102 and the second pad 103, respectively, to achieve electrical connections between the microstrip line and the via, and between vias themselves.
[0033] In this embodiment, the first pad 102 and the second pad 103 are used for electrical connections during chip flip-chip interconnection, and the first via 106 and the second via 107 are used for electrical connections during chip internal interconnection. Chip flip-chip interconnection can be understood as inverting the chip and aligning the pads or bumps on the bottom of the chip with the first pad 102 or the second pad 103 on the dielectric layer to achieve electrical connection between the chip and the dielectric layer. Chip internal interconnection can be understood as electrical connection between different functional units inside the chip. Transistors, resistors, capacitors, and other components inside the chip are connected through multilayer metal wiring, the first via 106, and the second via 107 to form a complete electrical circuit, transmitting signals from the active surface of the chip to the ground plane of the bottom layer. Because the interconnection path formed by the pads and vias is short, the parasitic capacitance and parasitic inductance are small, and impedance changes are less likely to occur, thus ensuring the integrity of signal transmission and providing fast signal transmission, thereby improving signal transmission performance, especially suitable for high-frequency applications.
[0034] In this embodiment, the dual-via structure effectively improves the signal transmission performance of the chip interconnect device. Compared to a single-via structure, the dual-via structure, consisting of a first via 106 and a second via 107, disperses the high-frequency current path, reduces parasitic inductance per unit length of path, and thus reduces energy loss during signal transmission. Furthermore, by reducing parasitic effects in the millimeter-wave band, impedance matching between the load and the vias can be effectively controlled, reducing signal reflection and transmission loss caused by impedance mismatch. This ensures complete signal transmission in the millimeter-wave band or higher frequencies, reduces high-frequency signal transmission loss, and improves the signal transmission performance of the chip interconnect device. Setting the signal transmission path as a via structure with a hollow area reduces the contact area with the dielectric, significantly reducing dielectric loss. In addition, the dual-via structure provides a larger current path, improving the chip's current carrying capacity, preventing overheating and performance degradation, and thus improving the stability of the chip's power and ground networks.
[0035] In this embodiment, using two microstrip lines balances parasitic effects and transmission requirements, thereby ensuring impedance matching of the vias. The first microstrip line 104 and the second microstrip line 105 serve as signal transmission lines for signal transmission and distribution. The first microstrip line 104 serves as the main signal transmission path during chip input / output, specifically for signal reception and transmission. The second microstrip line 105 serves as the connection path between the first pad 102 and the second pad 103, specifically assisting in the electrical connection and signal transmission of the first via 106 and the second via 107. Furthermore, the use of the first microstrip line 104 and the second microstrip line 105 can also help optimize the parasitic effects and impedance matching of the vias. In high-frequency signal transmission in the millimeter-wave band, the design and layout of microstrip lines directly affect signal integrity and impedance matching. Compared to a single microstrip line, using two microstrip lines can disperse the signal transmission path, thereby reducing the impact of parasitic effects and minimizing signal loss and reflection.
[0036] Furthermore, impedance matching can be ensured by adjusting the lengths of the two microstrip lines. Longer microstrip lines may accumulate larger parasitic inductance, while shorter microstrip lines may accumulate larger parasitic capacitance. These parasitic effects lead to signal transmission loss and impedance mismatch, potentially causing signal phase jumps and poor signal integrity, failing to meet transmission requirements. Therefore, by adjusting the lengths of the first microstrip line 104 and the second microstrip line 105, a balance between parasitic effects and transmission requirements can be achieved, ensuring impedance matching of the vias and improving the signal transmission performance of the chip interconnect device.
[0037] In one embodiment, the dielectric layer is divided into a first dielectric region 20, a second dielectric region 22, and an annular isolation region 21, wherein the first through-hole 206 and the second through-hole 207 are located in the first dielectric region 20, and the annular isolation region 21 is hollow inside; the first dielectric region 20 is surrounded by the annular isolation region 21, and the annular isolation region 21 is surrounded by the second dielectric region 22.
[0038] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2The first via 206, the second via 207, the first pad 202, the second pad 203, and the second microstrip line 205 are all located within the first dielectric region 20. A hollow region is created around the first dielectric region 20 as an annular isolation region 21. The dielectric inside the annular isolation region 21 is removed to separate the first dielectric region 20 from the other dielectric regions of the dielectric layer 200. The other dielectric regions surrounding the annular isolation region 21 are designated as the second dielectric region 22. This forms a dielectric layer structure where the first dielectric region 20 is surrounded by the annular isolation region 21, and the annular isolation region 21 is surrounded by the second dielectric region 22. It should be noted that the lower surface of the annular isolation region 21 still retains a ground layer; only the dielectric portion inside the annular isolation region 21 has been removed, effectively making the interior of the annular isolation region 21 hollow.
[0039] In this embodiment, by setting an annular isolation region 21 as an isolation band, the impact of electromagnetic interference on the signal transmission of vias can be reduced. At high frequencies, the diffusion of electromagnetic fields can lead to signal loss and interference. The annular isolation region 21 forms a closed annular structure, effectively isolating the electromagnetic fields inside and outside the first dielectric region 20, preventing electromagnetic signals from the vias from leaking to the outside, and improving the efficiency and quality of signal transmission. Simultaneously, in a dual-via structure, setting the annular isolation region 21 can also reduce parasitic effects and electromagnetic coupling between vias, reduce crosstalk between signals, and ensure impedance matching of the vias, improving the accuracy and reliability of signal transmission. By limiting the diffusion of electromagnetic fields through the annular isolation region 21, the signal transmission performance of the chip interconnect structure is further improved.
[0040] In one embodiment, the first and second through-holes are configured as annular through-holes. This allows for the absorption of thermal expansion differences through deformation, reducing solder joint fatigue and improving the thermal stability and reliability of the chip interconnect device. Preferably, the annular through-hole can be selected as a waist-shaped through-hole. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 , Figure 3 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the waist-shaped through-hole. The outer rings of both the first and second through-holes consist of two semicircles with a diameter of 15 μm and a square measuring 15 μm x 15 μm. The inner rings of both through-holes consist of two semicircles with a diameter of 9 μm and a rectangle measuring 15 μm x 9 μm. This equates to an outer semicircle diameter of 15 μm, an inner semicircle diameter of 9 μm, a through-hole length of 30 μm, and a through-hole width of 15 μm.
[0041] In one embodiment, the first via, the second via, the first microstrip line, and the second microstrip line are all made of metal, and the first and second vias are metal vias. Exemplarily, the metal can be copper, aluminum, tungsten, copper-aluminum alloy, or other metal materials with good conductivity. The first via, the second via, the first microstrip line, and the second microstrip line serve as the main pathways for signal transmission, and their materials are preferably metal materials that require low resistivity and good processing performance. Furthermore, the dielectric layer is made of gallium arsenide (GaAs). Gallium arsenide can be made into a semi-insulating material with extremely high resistivity, which helps reduce parasitic effects and improve the isolation of the device, making it suitable for fabricating the dielectric layer as a substrate. Exemplarily, the dielectric layer is made of a 2 mil gallium arsenide substrate, the size of the dielectric layer is 1 mm * 1 mm, and the thickness of the ground layer is 3.5 μm.
[0042] In one embodiment, a first radio frequency (RF) input port 311 and a second RF input port 312 are disposed on the lower surface of the first microstrip line 304, and an RF output port 313 is disposed on the interface between the annular isolation region 31 and the first dielectric region 30. The first RF input port 311, the second RF input port 312, and the RF output port 313 are used to transmit RF signals. The first RF input port 311 and the second RF input port 312 are used to input RF signals, and the RF output port 313 is used to output signals. The first RF input port 311, the second RF input port 312, and the RF output port 313 reflect the actual signal transmission status of the chip interconnect device.
[0043] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 The first RF input port 311 and the second RF input port 312 are preferably located at a position far from the boundary of the dielectric layer 300 and the annular isolation region 31, with the first RF input port 311 and the second RF input port 312 spaced apart. The RF output port 313 is located on the boundary line between the first dielectric region 20, the annular isolation region 21, and the ground layer 301, at the position farthest from the first RF input port 311 and the second RF input port 312. Since the annular isolation region 31 is formed by hollowing out the middle of the dielectric layer 300, it changes the electromagnetic wave transmission mode of the through-hole in the first dielectric region 30. If the first RF input port 311 and the second RF input port 312 are placed close to the annular isolation region 31, it may cause direct coupling between the port and the first dielectric region 30, thereby introducing parasitic capacitance and parasitic inductance, affecting the accuracy of signal transmission. Therefore, to avoid unnecessary parasitic effects, the ports need to be placed far away from the annular isolation region 31.
[0044] In this embodiment, different RF input ports are provided on the first microstrip line 304 to acquire simulation data in order to evaluate signal transmission characteristics. To clearly understand the impact of parasitic responses of the chip interconnect device on signals at high frequencies, and to consider parasitic parameters in the matching circuit design to ensure appropriate impedance matching, a first RF input port 311, a second RF input port 312, and an RF output port 313 are provided to evaluate signal transmission characteristics. The different RF input ports on the first microstrip line 304 reflect the actual signal transmission situation of the chip interconnect device. For example, the RF signal is input from the first RF input port 311 and the second RF input port 312, transmitted through the first microstrip line 304 to the bottom of the first via 306 and the second via 307, and output as an electromagnetic wave from the bottom RF output port 313, thereby being transmitted to subsequent circuit elements.
[0045] In one embodiment, radio frequency (RF) signals are input from a first RF input port and a second RF input port, respectively, and the transmitted RF signal is acquired from the RF output port. The signal transmission simulations from both RF input ports are used as two simulation results. These two simulation results undergo de-embedding processing to remove the influence of the first microstrip line between the first and second RF input ports. This further separates the electrical characteristics of the via from the overall simulation results, thereby obtaining an accurate via impedance. In the millimeter-wave band, the parameter characteristics of the microstrip line significantly affect signal transmission; therefore, de-embedding processing can eliminate these effects, making the simulation results more accurately reflect the via impedance characteristics. Furthermore, the via impedance data obtained through de-embedding processing can be precisely compensated in the matching circuit design, thereby further optimizing the overall chip circuit performance.
[0046] It should be noted that de-embedding is a commonly used technique in signal processing and circuit design. It is used to eliminate the influence of peripheral components such as the test system or test fixture from measured data, thereby obtaining the true performance parameters of the circuit or system. Specifically, by establishing a mathematical model of the peripheral adapter circuit and then using calculation methods to eliminate its influence on the test results, de-embedding is performed on the simulation results of the first and second RF input ports. This eliminates the influence of the portion of the first microstrip line between the first and second RF input ports on the measurement results, thus obtaining a more realistic via impedance.
[0047] Please refer to Figures 5(a) and 5(b). Figure 5(a) shows the S11 result obtained after de-embedding simulation, and Figure 5(b) shows the S21 result obtained after de-embedding simulation. Specifically, S-parameters can be understood as scattering parameters describing the electrical performance of the RF network, including S11 and S21. S11 represents the reflection coefficient of the input port, used to describe how much of the input signal is reflected. If there is impedance mismatch, the S11 value will increase. S21 represents the transmission coefficient from the input port to the output port, used to describe the loss in the input signal. Figure 5(a) reflects the change of the reflection coefficient with frequency, thus allowing observation of the reflection loss at different frequencies to evaluate the quality of impedance matching. Figure 5(b) reflects the change of the transmission coefficient with frequency, thus allowing observation of the signal transmission loss at different frequencies to evaluate the transmission performance of the chip interconnect device. A lower S11 value indicates good impedance matching, and a higher S21 indicates good transmission performance. By analyzing the attached diagrams for S11 and S21, we can understand the performance of the chip interconnect device at different frequencies. This allows for further optimization of the chip interconnect device design to improve signal integrity and transmission efficiency. For example, if the signal loss is greater than 10dB, it is determined to be an impedance mismatch. In this case, the length of the microstrip line can be adjusted, or equivalent capacitance and equivalent inductance compensation can be performed at the chip level.
[0048] In one embodiment, both the first and second microstrip lines are set to a width of 35µm. Setting the microstrip line width to 35µm achieves a 50-ohm impedance, which facilitates a single transmission mode within a specific frequency range and ensures good matching with transmission lines such as coaxial cables, reducing signal reflection and loss, thereby guaranteeing signal integrity and the transmission performance of the chip interconnect device. It should be noted that 50 ohms is a standard impedance widely used in radio frequency systems.
[0049] In one embodiment, the length of the first microstrip line is set to 550 μm, and the length of the second microstrip line is set to 30 μm. In the millimeter-wave band from 71 GHz to 86 GHz, setting the length of the first microstrip line to 550 μm and the length of the second microstrip line to 30 μm can make the S11 signal loss greater than or equal to 10 dB, thereby achieving a match between parasitic effects and transmission requirements and improving the signal transmission performance of the chip interconnect area.
[0050] Specifically, when the microstrip line is shorter than 550µm or 30µm, additional parasitic capacitance is generated in the transition region between the microstrip line and the via in the 71-86GHz band. This results in a more pronounced impedance change, causing the impedance of the transition region to deviate from 50 ohms, thus causing signal loss. Particularly in the 82-86GHz band, it also increases the coupling capacitance between the via and the island, exacerbating the parasitic effect of the via. Conversely, when the microstrip line is longer than 550µm or 30µm, additional parasitic inductance is generated in the transition region between the microstrip line and the via in the 71-86GHz band. This leads to a more pronounced impedance change and increases the electromagnetic coupling between the chip interconnect and the surrounding metal structure, introducing additional cross-parasitic capacitance and further exacerbating impedance mismatch. Furthermore, when the microstrip line is shorter than 550µm or 30µm, the signal is prone to phase abrupt changes in the transition region between the microstrip line and the via, affecting the integrity of the link signal. When the microstrip line is shorter than 550µm or 30µm, the signal attenuation increases and the output power decreases, which cannot meet the signal strength requirements. It may also cause signal reflection and superposition to form standing waves, affecting the stability of signal transmission.
[0051] Exemplarily, this application provides a specific embodiment of the above-described chip interconnect device with dual vias. In the millimeter-wave band from 71 GHz to 86 GHz, the dimensions of each part of the chip interconnect device in this embodiment can be set as follows: the first microstrip line has a length of 550 μm and a width of 35 μm; the second microstrip line has a length of 550 μm and a width of 30 μm; both the first and second microstrip lines are microstrip lines with an impedance of 50 ohms; the first and second pads are both 30 μm * 50 μm in size; the first and second vias are oblong vias; the outer rings of both the first and second vias are composed of two semicircles with a diameter of 15 μm and a square of 15 μm * 15 μm; the inner rings of both the first and second vias are composed of two semicircles with a diameter of 9 μm and a rectangle of 15 μm * 9 μm; and the hollow first and second vias are modeled using Boolean operations. The dielectric layer and ground layer are 1mm*1mm in size. The dielectric layer substrate is a 2mil gallium arsenide substrate. The dielectric layer is 50um thick and the ground layer is 3.5um thick.
[0052] Based on the above ideas, the technical solution provided in one or more embodiments of this application improves the signal transmission performance of chip interconnect packages by employing a dual-via structure and microstrip line design to control the impedance interaction of the chip interconnect device. Specifically, by setting two annular vias in the dielectric layer, the current flow area is increased and the current path is dispersed, resulting in a more uniform electric field distribution and reducing the parasitic effects caused by the vias, thereby ensuring impedance stability in the millimeter-wave band. Furthermore, by using a first and second microstrip line of appropriate length to balance parasitic effects and signal transmission requirements, and by setting an annular isolation region to reduce electromagnetic interference, impedance mismatch caused by parasitic effects of the vias is further avoided, thereby ensuring the stability and integrity of signal transmission. Therefore, the technical solution provided in this application can improve the signal transmission performance of chip interconnect packages.
