Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor technology, specifically to a chip packaging structure. Background Technology
[0002] Chip packaging structures typically employ Package on Package (POP) technology, which involves stacking another matching upper-layer package structure on top of a lower-level package structure to form the POP package structure. In this structure, two or more package units are stacked together from bottom to top, with a dielectric layer in between for signal transmission. POP technology increases the integration density of devices, and the lower-level package structure is in direct contact with the PCB board.
[0003] In this design, the lower packaging layer typically houses highly integrated logic chips, while the upper packaging layer houses large-capacity memory chips. However, with the development of AI technology, the scale and computing power of processing units such as CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs within logic chips are increasing, leading to a continuous increase in power consumption. In the POP packaging structure of related technologies, the logic chip is usually located vertically below the memory chip, completely covering it in the height direction. This results in high upward thermal resistance and poor heat dissipation performance, ultimately affecting the performance of the logic chip. Utility Model Content

[0028] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0029] The following is combined with Figures 1-7 The chip packaging structure according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described.
[0030] The chip packaging structure of this utility model embodiment includes a first package 1 and a second package 2. The first package 1 includes a first substrate 11 and a first chip 12. The second package 2 includes a second substrate 21, a heat sink 23, and a second chip 22. The second substrate 21 is stacked on the side of the first chip 12 away from the first substrate 11. The second chip 22 is disposed on the side of the second substrate 21 away from the first chip 12. The heat sink 23 is disposed on the side of the first chip 12 away from the first substrate 11.
[0031] According to the chip packaging structure of this utility model embodiment, by placing the heat sink 23 on the side of the first chip 12 away from the first substrate 11, the heat generated by the portion of the first chip 12 located directly below the heat sink 23 is transferred to the heat sink 23 for rapid heat exchange with the heat sink 23, resulting in higher heat dissipation efficiency of the first chip 12 and stable and reliable performance of the first chip 12.
[0032] It should be noted that the first chip 12 is a logic chip, and the second chip 22 is a memory chip. The first substrate 11 and the second substrate 21 are redistribution layers. The first package 1 also includes a plurality of copper balls or copper pillars disposed at the edge of the upper surface of the first substrate 11. The first substrate 11 is electrically connected to the second substrate 21 through the plurality of copper balls or copper pillars. The diameter of the copper balls or the height of the copper pillars is greater than the thickness of the first chip 12. In this embodiment, the first substrate 11 of the chip package structure is electrically connected to the circuit board 3 by ball bonding. The surface of the first substrate 11 facing the circuit board 3 is provided with DTC capacitors.
[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, on the projection plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the first substrate 11, the projection of the second substrate 21 and the projection of the heat sink 23 are separated, that is, the projection of the second substrate 21 and the projection of the heat sink 23 do not overlap.
[0034] By setting a second substrate 21 to avoid a portion of the first chip 12, and by using a heat sink 23 instead of the second substrate 21 to be disposed on the side of the first chip 12 away from the first substrate 11, the heat generated by the portion of the first chip 12 located directly below the heat sink 23 is directly transferred to the heat sink 23 for rapid heat exchange with the heat sink 23. As a result, the heat dissipation efficiency of the first chip 12 is higher, and the performance of the first chip 12 is stable and reliable.
[0035] In some embodiments, the first chip 12 integrates a processing module, which includes at least one of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), an NPU (Neural Processing Unit), and a DSP (Digital Signal Processor). On a projection surface perpendicular to the thickness direction of the first substrate 11, at least a portion of the projection of the processing module coincides with the projection of the heat sink 23.
[0036] By placing at least a portion of the high-power processing module directly below the heat sink 23, the processing module on the first chip 12 is positioned closer to the heat sink 23 than the other modules, thereby enabling faster heat exchange with the heat sink 23, resulting in higher heat dissipation efficiency for the processing module and more stable and reliable operation of the first chip 12.
[0037] For example, the first chip 12 also integrates an interface module, a power management module, etc., and the other modules, except for the processing module, are preferably located directly below the second chip 22.
[0038] In some embodiments, the first chip 12 includes at least two cores spaced apart on the upper surface of the first substrate 11, and on a projection plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the first substrate 11, at least a portion of the projection of at least one core coincides with the projection of the heat sink 23.
[0039] By splitting the first chip 12 into at least two non-contact chips, the distribution area of the first chip 12 is larger, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the functional modules on each chip is higher. At the same time, the functional modules on different chips are less likely to interfere with each other, making the performance of the first chip 12 more stable and reliable.
[0040] Taking the heat sink 23 and the second chip 22 arranged along the first direction as an example, all the chips are arranged at intervals along the second direction. The number of chips can be two, three, or four.
[0041] Alternatively, when there are multiple cores, the multiple cores can also be arranged in an array on the first substrate 11.
[0042] In some embodiments, the number of chips is at least two and includes a first chip 121 and a second chip 122. The first chip 121 integrates a processing module. On a projection plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the first substrate 11, at least a portion of the projection of the first chip 121 coincides with the projection of the heat sink 23, and the projection of the second chip 122 coincides with the projection of the second chip 22.
[0043] By placing at least a portion of the first chip 121, which integrates the processing module, directly below the heat sink 23, the heat generated by the high-power processing module can be quickly dissipated from the heat sink 23 to the outside, effectively ensuring the performance of the processing module. Furthermore, the first chip 12 can be split into only the first chip 121 and the second chip 122, effectively reducing the assembly efficiency of the first chip 12 on the first substrate 11. Simultaneously, arranging the first chip 121 and the second chip 122 alternately effectively prevents the heat from the processing module on the first chip 121 from being transferred to the second chip 122, thus avoiding temperature increases in the functional modules on the second chip 122 that could affect their performance.
[0044] For example, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, most of the first chip 121 is offset from the second chip 22 in the height direction and is located directly below the heat sink 23.
[0045] For example, the first core 121 is located directly below the heat sink 23.
[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second chip 22 is electrically connected to the second substrate 21 through the UBM layer 24 (Under Bump Metallization), or, as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second chip 22 is electrically connected to the second substrate 21 via bonding leads 25.
[0047] That is, whether the second chip 22 is electrically connected to the second substrate 21 through the UBM layer 24 or through the bonding wire 25, a heat sink 23 can be provided on the side of the second chip 22 to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the first chip 12, and the chip packaging structure has stronger applicability.
[0048] For example, the electrical connection between the second chip 22 and the second substrate 21 via the UBM layer 24 means that a metallization layer is first formed on the pads of the second chip 22, and then connected to the second substrate 21 via bumps such as solder balls. Specifically, the electrical connection between the second chip 22 and the second substrate 21 via bonding leads 25 means that the pads of the second chip 22 are connected to the pads of the second substrate 21 via metal wires (such as gold wires, aluminum wires, or copper wires), and the metal wires form an arc-shaped lead between the second chip 22 and the second substrate 21.
[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the heat sink 23 is bonded to the side of the first chip 12 away from the first substrate 11 using thermally conductive adhesive. This ensures that the heat sink 23 is easily and reliably fixed to the first chip 12, and the thermally conductive adhesive effectively improves the thermal conductivity between the heat sink 23 and the first chip 12, thereby making the heat dissipation efficiency of the first chip 12 higher.
[0050] In some embodiments, the heat sink 23 and the second substrate 21 are arranged along a first direction, the length of the heat sink 23 in the second direction is greater than the length of the second chip 22 in the second direction, and the first direction, the second direction and the thickness direction of the first substrate 11 are perpendicular to each other.
[0051] By setting the length of the heat sink 23 in the second direction to be greater than the length of the second chip 22 in the second direction, the heat dissipation area of the heat sink 23 is effectively increased, thereby effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency between the heat sink 23 and the first chip 12. The heat dissipation efficiency of the first chip 12 is higher, and its performance is better.
[0052] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the heat sink 23 is generally a rectangular heat sink, and its length is equal to or close to the length of the second substrate 21 in the second direction. At the same time, the edge of the heat sink 23 away from the second chip 22 is adjacent to or coincides with the edge of the second substrate 21.
[0053] In some embodiments, the first package 1 further includes a first molding compound 13, which seals the first chip 12 and the first chip 12 is heat-exchange connected to the first substrate 11 through the first molding compound 13.
[0054] The first molding layer 13 increases the heat exchange area between the first chip 12 and the second substrate 21, thereby further improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the first chip 12. Secondly, the first molding layer 13 supports the second package 2, effectively preventing the first chip 12 from being subjected to excessive pressure from the second package 2, which would affect its service life.
[0055] For example, the overall outer contour of the first molding layer 13 and the first substrate 11 is a cube or cuboid shape.
[0056] Optionally, the second package 2 further includes a second molding compound 26, which seals the second chip 22, and / or seals the heat sink 23.
[0057] That is, the second molding compound 26 can only wrap and seal the second chip 22 to ensure the service life of the second chip 22, or it can wrap the heat sink 23 at the same time, so that the second chip 22 is connected to the heat sink 23 through the second molding compound 26 for heat exchange, thereby further improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the second chip 22 and thus further improving the performance of the second chip 22.
[0058] In some embodiments, the heat sink 23 includes at least one of a heat sink, a heat sink block, and heat sink fins.
[0059] When the heat sink 23 is a heat sink fin, it is easier for the heat sink 23 to be attached to the upper surface of the second substrate 21. When the heat sink 23 is a heat sink block, it has a larger volume and surface area, which makes it have a greater heat absorption efficiency and heat dissipation efficiency. When the heat sink 23 is a heat sink fin, it can have a greater heat dissipation efficiency with a fixed volume, thereby further improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the first chip 12.
