Abstract
Description
Multilayer circuit board and processing method thereof, chip system and electronic equipment
[0001] This invention claims priority to the Chinese patent application filed with the China Patent Office on November 16, 2023, with application number 202311531991.1 and application name “Multi-layer circuit board and its processing method, chip system and electronic device”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of chip technology, and in particular to a multi-layer circuit board and a processing method thereof, a chip system and an electronic device. Background Art
[0003] As transistor scaling becomes increasingly challenging, market demands for higher chip performance continue to rise. These demands not only increase chip processing speed but also demand large memory capacity and low latency between the processor and memory. To meet these requirements, multiple chips are typically packaged in a flip-chip ball grid array (FCBGA) format. In this chip system, multiple chips are attached to an interposer, which is attached to a package substrate, which is attached to a printed circuit board (PCB). Signals can be transmitted between the chips, interposer, package substrate, and PCB. The introduction of an interposer between the chip and the package substrate allows for the placement of multiple chips in close proximity, significantly improving bandwidth performance, thanks to the high-density redistribution layer (RDL) fabricated on the interposer, which can achieve line widths of up to 1µm. However, because the chips and interposer are typically silicon-based, the significant difference in coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between them and the organic-based package substrate and PCB makes it difficult to manufacture large-scale packages, limiting the continued evolution of FCBGA packaging.
[0004] The package substrate and PCB are a multi-layer stacked structure (hereinafter referred to as a multi-layer circuit board), primarily composed of multiple dielectric layers and metal layers. In existing technology, the dielectric layer of a multi-layer circuit board is primarily made of organic materials (hereinafter referred to as organic substrates). With the development of larger packaging, glass dielectric materials are gaining increasing attention. Glass and silicon have similar CTEs. Using glass as the dielectric layer (hereinafter referred to as a glass substrate) can reduce the CTE mismatch between the substrate, chip, and interposer, thereby supporting the realization of larger substrates and packages.
[0005] In the existing processing technology for multi-layer glass substrates, through holes are first processed on a single-layer glass substrate, and then the through holes and surface conductive patterns are electroplated. Subsequently, a layer of insulating film is laminated on the glass substrate and holes are punched in the film at the positions corresponding to the through-glass holes. Conductive paste is applied to the through-glass holes and the through-holes in the film layer. Finally, the stacked glass substrates are heat-pressed into shape in one step. The film acts as an interlayer bond, and electrical interconnection is achieved through the conductive paste in the holes.
[0006] However, in the processing of existing technologies, the electrical interconnection of conductive paste has problems such as poor electrical and thermal conductivity, which in turn affects the electrical and thermal performance of the chip system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0047] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0048] It should be clear that the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0049] The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present application. The singular forms "a", "an", "the" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present application and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0050] It should be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein simply describes a relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A alone, A and B together, or B alone. Furthermore, the character " / " in this document generally indicates an "or" relationship between the associated objects.
[0051] A first aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, which includes but is not limited to mobile phones, computers, tablets, headphones, helmets, and other devices capable of signal transmission. The electronic device includes a device body and a chip system installed on the device body. The chip system is used to realize signal transmission between electronic components inside the electronic device and between the electronic device and the outside world.
[0052] As shown in FIG1 , the chip system includes a printed circuit board 01, a package substrate 02, an interposer 03, and a plurality of chip monomers 04 stacked along its thickness direction. The package substrate 02 is mounted on the printed circuit board 01, and the package substrate 02 is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 01 through a first pin 05. The interposer 03 is mounted on the package substrate 02, and the interposer 03 is electrically connected to the package substrate 02 through a second pin 06. The chip monomer 04 is mounted on the interposer 03, and the plurality of chip monomers 04 are electrically connected to the interposer 03 through a third pin 07. As shown in FIG1 , the number of chip monomers 04 is at least two, and the number of chip monomers 04 is at least three. Taking the chip body 04 as an example, the chip body 04 includes a first chip 041, a second chip 042 and a third chip 043. The first chip 041, the second chip 042 and the third chip 043 are all installed on the interposer 03. Since the line width of the redistribution layer (RDL) on the interposer 03 is relatively small, the first chip 041, the second chip 042 and the third chip 043 can be closely arranged on the surface of the interposer 03, reducing the gap between adjacent chip bodies 04 and increasing the number of chip bodies 04 that can be set in the chip system, thereby improving the bandwidth performance of the chip system and further improving the working performance of the electronic device.
[0053] According to a second aspect of an embodiment of the present application, there is provided a multi-layer circuit board, which can be used as a packaging substrate 02 of a chip system, or as a printed circuit board 01 of a chip system. In one embodiment, the stacking structure of the multi-layer circuit board is shown in FIG2 , and the multi-layer circuit board includes a substrate 1b, and along the thickness direction of the substrate 1b, a multi-layer structure of a conductive pattern 1c-insulating layer 1d-conductive pattern 1c is provided on one or both sides of the substrate 1b, and a conductive portion 1d1 made of conductive paste or solder is provided on the insulating layer 1d, and the conductive pattern 1c is electrically connected to the conductive channel 1b1 on the substrate 1b, and the conductive pattern 1c is electrically connected to the conductive pattern 1c on the other side through the conductive portion 1d1 on the insulating layer 1d, that is, the multi-layer circuit board is a multi-layer composite structure of a substrate 1b-conductive pattern 1c-insulating layer 1d-conductive pattern 1c; in another embodiment, the stacking structure of the multi-layer circuit board is As shown in FIG3 , a multilayer circuit board includes multiple substrates 1b stacked along its thickness. Conductive patterns 1c are provided on the substrates 1b. The multilayer circuit board is electrically connected to components mounted on the multilayer circuit board via the conductive patterns 1c. Adjacent substrates 1b are bonded together via insulating layers 1d and electrically connected via conductive paths 1b1 extending along its thickness. In other words, the multilayer circuit board comprises a multilayer composite structure of substrate 1b - conductive pattern 1c - insulating layer 1d - substrate 1b - conductive pattern 1c. In another embodiment, the stacked structure of the multilayer circuit board is shown in FIG4 . The multilayer circuit board can simultaneously include the multilayer composite structures of the above two embodiments to increase the structural flexibility of the multilayer circuit board. For ease of description, the following example uses a multilayer composite structure of substrate 1b - conductive pattern 1c - insulating layer 1d - substrate 1b - conductive pattern 1c. In this case, the insulating layer 1d is an insulating adhesive film used to bond and secure adjacent substrates 1b.
[0054] The thermal expansion coefficient of substrate 1b matches that of interposer 03. This reduces the risk of different degrees of deformation of interposer 03 and substrate 1b due to different thermal expansion coefficients during the processing, installation, transportation, and use of the chip system. This reduces the risk of warping, cracking, or even connection failure between interposer 03 and substrate 1b, thereby improving the operational stability of the chip system. Specifically, the material of substrate 1b includes, but is not limited to, glass, ceramic, sapphire, resin, composite organic materials, composite inorganic materials, etc. It only needs to ensure that the thermal expansion coefficient of substrate 1b matches that of interposer 03. For example, using a glass substrate instead of an organic substrate reduces signal transmission loss during chip system operation.
[0055] In view of the above-mentioned multi-layer circuit board, a third aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides a method for processing the multi-layer circuit board. The method for processing the multi-layer circuit board includes:

The ground layer is used to achieve grounding of the multi-layer circuit board, and the power layer is used to support power distribution and management of electrical components.
[0058] As shown in FIG7(a) to FIG7(d), a second sub-board 3 is manufactured. As shown in FIG7(d), the second sub-board 3 includes a second substrate 32. A conductive layer 31 and a third channel 331 extending along the thickness direction of the second substrate 32 are provided on the second substrate 32. The second substrate 32 includes a third surface 321 and a fourth surface 322 arranged opposite to each other along the thickness direction of the second substrate 32. The third surface 321 is provided with a third conductive pattern 311, and the fourth surface 322 is provided with a fourth conductive pattern 312. The difference between the area ratio of the third conductive pattern 311 on the third surface 321 and the area ratio of the fourth conductive pattern 312 on the fourth surface 322 is less than or equal to 50%. The difference can be 0%, 5%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, etc. For example, the third conductive pattern 311 and the fourth conductive pattern 312 are both signal layers for arranging wires.
[0059] As shown in FIG8( a), take the first insulating layer 4 and the second insulating layer 5, and stack the first daughter board 2, the first insulating layer 4, the core board 1, the second insulating layer 5 and the second daughter board 3 along the thickness direction of the multilayer circuit board. The first insulating layer 4 is located between the first daughter board 2 and the core board 1, and the second insulating layer 5 is located between the core board 1 and the second daughter board 3. The first conductive pattern 21 is located on the side of the first daughter board 2 away from the core board 1, and the fourth conductive pattern 312 is located on the side of the second daughter board 3 away from the core board 1;
[0060] As shown in FIG8( b ), the first daughter board 2, the first insulating layer 4, the core board 1, the second insulating layer 5 and the second daughter board 3 are pressed and fixed, and the first daughter board 2 and the second daughter board 3 are electrically connected through the first conductive portion 41, the first conductive channel 12 and the second conductive portion 51; the first conductive pattern 21 and the fourth conductive pattern 312 are removed;
[0061] The first sub-board 2 is electroplated to form a fifth conductive pattern on the first surface 231, and the second conductive medium 242 is filled in the second hole 241 to form a second conductive channel 24. The fifth conductive pattern, the second conductive channel 24, and the second conductive pattern 22 constitute a signal transmission line structure. The second sub-board 3 is electroplated to form a sixth conductive pattern on the fourth surface 322, and the third conductive medium 332 is filled in the third hole 331 to form a third conductive channel 33. The sixth conductive pattern, the third conductive channel 33, and the third conductive pattern 311 constitute a signal transmission line structure. The first insulating layer 4 includes a first conductive portion 41, and the second insulating layer 5 includes a second conductive portion 51. The first conductive channel 12 is electrically connected to the second conductive channel 24 via the first conductive portion 41, and the first conductive channel 12 is electrically connected to the third conductive channel 33 via the second conductive portion 51.
[0062] In this embodiment, the difference between the area ratio of the first conductive pattern 21 on the first surface 231 and the area ratio of the second conductive pattern 22 on the second surface 232 is less than or equal to 50%, so that the first conductive pattern 21 is similar to the second conductive pattern 22. Preferably, the first conductive pattern 21 and the second conductive pattern 22 are symmetrically designed with respect to a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the multi-layer circuit board, so that the mechanical characteristics of the first sub-board 2 on both sides along the thickness direction are similar, thereby reducing the risk of warping and deformation of the first sub-board 2 during subsequent processing, thereby reducing the difficulty of stacking the first sub-board 2 and the core board 1, and improving the accuracy and reliability of the electrical connection between the first sub-board 2 and the core board 1, and the first sub-board 2 and the components or substrate 1b on the first sub-board 2, thereby improving the working stability and reliability of the chip system and electronic equipment.
[0063] The difference between the area ratio of the third conductive pattern 311 on the third surface 321 and the area ratio of the fourth conductive pattern 312 on the fourth surface 322 is less than or equal to 50%, so that the third conductive pattern 311 is similar to the fourth conductive pattern 312. Preferably, the third conductive pattern 311 and the fourth conductive pattern 312 are symmetrically designed relative to the plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the multi-layer circuit board, so that the mechanical characteristics of the second sub-board 3 on both sides along the thickness direction are similar, thereby reducing the risk of warping and deformation of the second sub-board 3 during subsequent processing, thereby reducing the difficulty of stacking the second sub-board 3 and the core board 1, and improving the accuracy and reliability of the electrical connection between the second sub-board 3 and the core board 1, and the second sub-board 3 and the components or substrate 1b on the second sub-board 3, thereby improving the production yield of the multi-layer circuit board and the chip system, and further improving the working stability and reliability of the chip system and electronic equipment. During the production of the first daughter board 2, the first conductive pattern 21 is first removed, and then the fifth conductive pattern and second conductive channel 24 are produced. The fifth conductive pattern, second conductive channel 24, and second conductive pattern 22 form a signal transmission line structure, thereby reducing signal transmission losses in the multilayer circuit board. Similarly, during the production of the second daughter board 3, the fourth conductive pattern 312 is first removed, and then the sixth conductive pattern and third conductive channel 33 are produced. The sixth conductive pattern, third conductive channel 33, and third conductive pattern 311 form a signal transmission line structure, thereby reducing signal transmission losses in the multilayer circuit board.
[0064] In this embodiment, there is no particular limitation on the order of the steps of making the core board 1 , the steps of making the first sub-board 2 , and the steps of making the second sub-board 3 .

[0253] The first hole 121 is filled with a first conductive medium 122 to form a first conductive channel 12 .
[0254] In this embodiment, the first channels 121 are processed through laser induction and laser etching, which improves the accuracy of the processing position and processing size of the first channels 121, thereby improving the accuracy of the electrical connection position between the core board 1 and the first sub-board 2 and the second sub-board 3, and further reducing the difficulty of laminating the core board 1, the first sub-board 2 and the second sub-board 3. The thickness of the core substrate 11 is 4-6 times the diameter of the first channels 121, and the thickness of the core substrate 11 is between 100μm and 200μm.

Specifically, the difference can be 0%, 5%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, etc. For example, the third conductive pattern 311 and the fourth conductive pattern 312 are both signal layers, that is, the third conductive pattern 311 and the fourth conductive pattern 312 are similar. Preferably, the third conductive pattern 311 and the fourth conductive pattern 312 are symmetrically designed with respect to a plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the multilayer circuit board.

During the process of the second sub-board 3, the fourth conductive pattern 312 is first removed, and then the sixth conductive pattern and the third conductive channel 33 are formed, so that the sixth conductive pattern, the third conductive channel 33, and the third conductive pattern 311 form a signal transmission line structure, reducing signal transmission loss in the multi-layer circuit board.
