Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chip packaging, and in particular relates to a multi-chip packaging structure. Background Art
[0002] Chip packaging has evolved from the earliest bare die packaging, where the chip is directly exposed to the external environment without packaging protection, to chip-level packaging (Chip-Level Packaging), surface mount technology (Surface Mount Technology, SMT), system-level packaging (System-Level Packaging) and three-dimensional packaging technology (3D Packaging). With the continuous evolution of chip packaging technology, future chip packaging technology will develop towards no packaging and less packaging technology to achieve higher integration and performance. The development trend of chip packaging has continuously promoted the performance and function of products to a higher level, and has had a significant impact on modern computers, automation, communications and other fields.
[0003] System in a Package is an important packaging technology that integrates multiple functional wafers (such as processors, memory, etc.) into one package based on application scenarios, the number of packaging substrate layers, and other factors, thereby realizing a packaging solution with basic complete functions. In SiP packaging, bare chips can be arranged and combined as needed, and matched through different internal interconnect technologies to achieve different system functions. SiP packaging has the advantages of high integration and miniaturization, and is more flexible and efficient than traditional packaging technology.
[0004] Although multi-chip SiP packaging has some advantages, it also has some disadvantages that need to be overcome in practical applications: 1) Large size: Since multiple chips need to be integrated in the package, the volume of the multi-chip SiP package is relatively large, which is not conducive to miniaturization and lightweight; 2) Complex packaging process: When multiple chips of different sizes need to be integrated and stacked in a package, the wire bonding packaging process is difficult to support; 3) Reliability risk: There may be mutual interference between the multiple chips in the multi-chip SiP package, and the internal thermal management and electrical performance are also relatively complex, which may affect its reliability.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new chip packaging method based on multi-chip SIP packaging, which can solve the problems of large size, complex process and low reliability in the existing multi-chip packaging process. Utility Model Content

The directional terms mentioned in the following embodiments, such as up, down, left, right, front or back, etc., are only referenced to the directions of the attached drawings.

[0026] Embodiment 1 provides a multi-chip packaging structure, see Figure 1 The multi-chip packaging structure includes a substrate 1, on which an FPGA chip 5 and a fan-out packaging chip 3 are arranged, and the fan-out packaging chip 3 integrates multiple functional chips. The specific structure of the fan-out packaging chip 3 is shown in Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 , see Figure 2 In this embodiment 1, 6 functional chips are taken as an example. The packaging wafer 31 of the fan-out packaging chip 3 is square. The size of the packaging wafer 31 of the fan-out packaging chip 3 in this embodiment 1 is 8*8mm. There are 2 operational amplifier chips 32 with a power of 600mW (size 1.39*1.39mm), 1 14-bit 80MSPS single-channel analog-to-digital converter ADC chip 34 (size 1.974*2.034mm), 1 14-bit 125MSPS single-channel DAC chip 33 (1.63*1.83mm), a 422 interface transceiver RS422 chip 35 (size 1.4*1.24mm), and a 32M flash memory chip 36 (1.341.1.622mm) on the packaging wafer 31 of the fan-out packaging chip 3. The sizes of the above-mentioned functional chips are different, but laying these functional chips on the packaging wafer 31 can greatly reduce the number of layers of chip stacking. At the same time, it can also solve the problem of inconvenience in stacking these functional chips of different sizes caused by different sizes when stacking.
[0027] See also Figure 3 , Figure 33 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the fan-out packaged chip 3, including a functional chip die 310 and a packaged wafer 31. A redistribution layer 37 (RDL) is manufactured by physical sputtering, photolithography and wiring technology on the packaged wafer 31. The redistribution layer 37 is arranged in the second plastic layer 39 and the repassivation layer 311 on the upper part of the packaged wafer 31. The repassivation layer 311 can protect the redistribution layer 37. A plurality of solder balls 38 or copper pillar bump structures interconnected with the outside are formed on the redistribution layer 37 by electroplating solder joint processing technology. These solder balls 38 or copper pillar bump structures are used to connect the fan-out packaged chip 3 with the substrate 1. The fan-out packaged chip 3 is filled with a second plastic layer 39 on the side loaded with the functional chip die 310. After the plastic packaging is completed, the second plastic layer needs to be ground to the chip thickness required by the design. When the fan-out packaged chip 3 is installed on the substrate 1, it is soldered on the substrate 1 using a flip chip process. That is, when the fan-out packaged chip 3 is soldered to the substrate 1, the functional chip die 310 loaded on the fan-out packaged chip 3 is located inside the packaging wafer 31, and the solder ball 38 or copper pillar bump structure arranged on the opposite side of the functional chip die 310 on the fan-out packaged chip 3 is connected to the substrate 1.
[0028] In order to protect the solder ball 38 or copper pillar bump structure connecting the fan-out type packaged chip 3 and the substrate 1, a filling layer is provided at the connection between the solder ball 38 or copper pillar bump structure of the fan-out type packaged chip 3 and the substrate. The filling layer is filled with glue, which can protect the solder ball 38 or copper pillar bump structure.
[0029] There is also an FPGA chip 5 above the fan-out package chip 3. The packaging structure of the FPGA chip 5 and the fan-out package chip 3 is a system-level package (Sip). The FPGA chip 5 is stacked on top of the second plastic packaging layer 39 of the fan-out package chip 3. In order to ensure a stable connection between the FPGA chip 5 and the fan-out package chip 3, there is also a chip bonding layer 4 between the FPGA chip 5 and the fan-out package chip 3. The chip bonding layer 4 is a uniformly coated insulating glue.
[0030] The connection method between the FPGA chip 5 and the substrate 1 is wire bonding. The FPGA chip 5 is connected to the substrate 1 through the bonding wire 6. The bonding method can be ultrasonic bonding or compression bonding. After the bonding is completed, the FPGA chip 5, the fan-out package chip 3 and the first plastic sealing layer 7 are filled on the substrate. The first plastic sealing layer 7 and the second plastic sealing layer 39 are generally resin plastic sealing layers. The first plastic sealing layer 7 completely covers the substrate 1. After the plastic sealing is completed, the first plastic sealing layer 7 needs to be cut so that the size of the first plastic sealing layer 7 is the same as that of the substrate 1.
[0031] In the present embodiment 1, the FPGA chip 5, the substrate 1 and the fan-out package chip 3 are all square, the substrate 1 has the largest size, the FPGA chip 5 is smaller than the substrate 1 and larger than the fan-out package chip 3, and the FPGA chip 5 is larger than the fan-out package chip 3. After the FPGA chip 5, the fan-out package chip 3 and the substrate 1 are packaged, the solder balls 8 on the substrate 1 can be used to connect the packaged chip to an external device.
[0032] The above is a detailed introduction to a multi-chip packaging structure provided by the utility model. This article uses specific examples to illustrate the structure and working principle of the utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core idea of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the utility model, the utility model can also be improved and modified, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the utility model.
