Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a surface-mounted bare chip PCB structure and a semiconductor device. Background Art

[0002] With the development of data centers and wireless access networks, the use of high-speed optical modules is becoming more and more widespread. As the integration of modules increases, the demand for heat dissipation is also increasing. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the internal thermal field distribution of the module when it is working in a high-speed data stream transmission state, as well as to carry out thermal design and thermal management of the optical module packaging components and component layout. In related technologies, mechanical or laser vias are used inside the PCB board under the chip to conduct heat to the back of the PCB board through the vias. However, since PCBs are often made of multi-layer structures made of materials such as copper foil-clad resin and glass fiber, the thermal resistance of the multi-layer resin and glass fiber is very large. Therefore, in the process of conducting heat through the vias, the heat conduction efficiency is low due to the influence of the via density and the thickness of the via copper plating, and the bare chip is prone to heat accumulation, resulting in abnormal operation.

[0003] Based on this existing technology, a copper block or ceramic is embedded inside the PCB board below the chip, and heat is conducted to the back side of the PCB board through the copper block or ceramic.

[0004] However, while embedding copper blocks or highly conductive materials like ceramics achieves efficient heat conduction, it requires hollowing out the PCB beneath the chip to accommodate the heat sink. Due to the inconsistent expansion and contraction of different materials, this solution suffers from poor reliability and the risk of block displacement or even fallout over long-term use. Furthermore, the hollowed-out area makes it impossible to route wiring, reducing wiring density. Utility Model Content

[0029] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] After introducing the technical terms involved in this application, the application scenarios and design concepts of the embodiments of this application are briefly introduced.

[0031] The rapid development of modern electronics is closely linked to the continuous advancement of thermal control technology. Thermal design has become a crucial component in the design of optoelectronic components, devices, and modules. The choice of thermal control solution has a profound impact on performance, reliability, and cost. PCBs are often constructed from a multilayer structure of materials such as copper-clad resin and fiberglass. Simply relying on vias or embedding copper blocks or ceramics with high thermal conductivity leads to low heat transfer efficiency, and bare chips are prone to heat accumulation, leading to malfunctions. Furthermore, due to the inconsistent expansion and contraction of different materials, embedding copper blocks or ceramics with highly thermally conductive materials poses a risk of block displacement and dislodging.

[0032] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a surface-mount bare chip PCB structure and a semiconductor device.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] This application provides a surface mount bare chip PCB structure, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the surface-mount bare chip PCB structure includes: a PCB body 1, vias 2, heat dissipation material 3 and a bare chip 4.

[0035] The PCB body 1 includes a plurality of PCB substrates stacked in a height direction.

[0036] The via hole 2 extends downward from the top of the PCB body 1 and is used to connect two or more PCB substrates.

[0037] The heat dissipation material 3 is disposed in the PCB body 1 , and the top surface of the heat dissipation material 3 is close to the bottom surface of the via 2 .

[0038] The bare chip 4 is disposed on the PCB body 1 , and the bottom surface of the bare chip 4 is in contact with the top surface of the via 2 , so that the heat of the bare chip 4 is conducted to the heat dissipation material 3 through the via 2 .

[0039] In the present application, the bottom surface of the bare chip 4 is connected to the top surface of the via 2, and the bottom surface of the via 2 is close to the heat dissipation material 3. The heat of the bare chip 4 is dissipated to the external environment through the hole 2 and the heat dissipation material 3, which can effectively avoid abnormal operation caused by heat accumulation. In addition, the heat dissipation material 3 is used instead of embedded copper blocks or ceramics for electroplating, the process is relatively simple, the cost is effectively controlled, and the reliability is improved.

[0040] In combination with the first aspect, the aperture of the via hole 2 gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0041] The side of the via 2 with a larger aperture contacts the bare chip 4, which is beneficial for quickly cooling the hot bare chip. As the aperture gradually decreases, the speed at which heat moves to the heat dissipation material 3 increases, thereby accelerating the heat conduction speed.

[0042] In combination with the first aspect, the via hole 2 is opened in the PCB body 1 for connecting the first to N-th layers of PCB substrates from top to bottom, where N≥3.

[0043] In this embodiment, the PCB body 1 includes at least four PCBs. Vias 2 extend downward from the top first PCB to at least one of the second or third PCBs. Heat dissipation material 3 is disposed within the bottom PCB. Heat dissipation material 3 can be metal or a heat dissipation pad. This material allows for flexible selection and ease of assembly. By selecting a heat dissipation material 3 of appropriate thickness and placing it in contact with the semiconductor device housing, efficient thermal conductivity is achieved.

[0044] Combine Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, N≥5, the via 2 is opened in the first to second PCB boards (combined with L1 and L2 in the figure); and the heat dissipation material 3 is provided in the third to Nth PCB substrates (combined with L3, L4...LN in the figure).

[0045] In combination with the first aspect, there are multiple via holes 2, and the multiple via holes 2 are arranged at equal intervals.

[0046] It can be understood that as the diameter of the contact surface between the via 2 and the bare chip increases, and as the number of the vias 2 increases, the contact area between the via 2 and the bare chip 4 increases, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0047] In combination with the first aspect, the surface-mount bare chip PCB structure further includes a receiving groove 5 . The receiving groove 5 is provided at the lower portion of the PCB body 1 and is located below the via 2 . The heat dissipation material 3 is installed in the receiving groove 5 .

[0048] In this application, a receiving groove 5 is milled deep into the PCB body 1 along the bottom PCB substrate, and the top surface of the receiving groove 5 is connected to the bottom surface of the via 2. The receiving groove 5 is connected to the via 2 to facilitate the heat transfer channel.

[0049] In combination with the first aspect, the side wall of the receiving groove 5 is provided with an electroplating layer 6 .

[0050] The electroplating layer 6 can increase the heat dissipation area and further reduce the thermal resistance.

[0051] In combination with the first aspect, an inner layer is provided between two adjacent PCB substrates, and an inner layer circuit is arranged in the inner layer for connecting the two adjacent PCB substrates.

[0052] It is understandable that there is a gap between each PCB substrate, through which heat can be transferred and the inner layer circuits can be accommodated to simplify the external structure.

[0053] In combination with the first aspect, the bottom surface of the heat dissipation material 3 extends downward along the bottom surface of the PCB body 1 .

[0054] It can be understood that when the bottom surface of the heat dissipation material 3 extends downward along the bottom surface of the PCB body 1 , heat is dissipated to the external environment to reduce the local temperature of the bare chip 4 .

[0055] In combination with the first aspect, the bottom surface of the heat dissipation material 3 is connected to the external metal shell.

[0056] It can be understood that the metal shell can be a packaging shell for packaging the bare chip 4 above the PCB body 1. Based on the heat conduction ability of the metal shell, the heat is further conducted to the external environment to achieve heat dissipation of the bare chip 4.

[0057] In a second aspect, the present application provides a semiconductor device comprising the surface-mounted bare chip PCB structure as described above.

[0058] The semiconductor device prepared based on the above-mentioned surface-mounted bare chip PCB structure has a good heat dissipation effect.
