Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] With the continuous approach to the physical limit of semiconductor technology, the development of Moore's Law is slowing down, and the way to simply rely on size miniaturization to improve chip performance is facing the challenges of "power wall" and economy. At the same time, in the field of modern high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, etc., the demand for data interaction between computing cores and memories is increasing, and the long-distance interconnection between chips through the substrate in traditional packaging leads to serious signal delay, bandwidth limitation and huge power consumption, forming a "memory wall" bottleneck. In addition, the demand of terminal application for system miniaturization and functional diversification, as well as the urgency of integrating different process and functional chips, requires breaking through the limitations of integration density and interconnection capability of traditional two-dimensional packaging. To cope with the above challenges, 2.5D advanced packaging technology emerges as the times require. 2.5D packaging realizes ultra-short distance and ultra-high bandwidth interconnection between chips by introducing high-density interconnection substrates such as silicon interposers, effectively overcoming the "memory wall". At present, 2.5D packaging is mainly based on flip chip interconnection technology. Before flip chip interconnection with the substrate, the upper layer chip is usually a multi-layer, multi-material combination structure that has undergone multiple processes, and the chip warping is large. It is difficult to use flip reflow soldering process, which is easy to cause virtual soldering of solder joints and affect yield. The use of thermal compression bonding process is high in cost and low in production efficiency. At the same time, the chip interconnection density is high, and the heat dissipation is difficult, so a 2.5D packaging process method for improving chip warping and heat dissipation is needed.
