The prototype verification needs to realize circuit design by using programmable logic resources inside the FPGA, the demand for the number of the programmable logic resources of the FPGA is continuously increased along with the continuous increase of the scale of the integrated circuit and the realization of complex functions, the number of the programmable resources of the FPGA becomes a larger bottleneck due to the continuous increase of the subsequent technical development and demand, and a larger challenge is provided for the development of the industry. The increase in the FPGA scale represents an increasing chip area, which leads to an increase in chip processing difficulty and a decrease in chip production yield.
Some patents have proposed a method for designing chip interconnects by using silicon-on-chip (SSI), for example, the patent with application number 2016800598883 proposes a stacked die interconnect without interposer, which uses a plurality of discrete interconnect dies to implement signal interconnects between two adjacent dies; another example is patent application No. 2017800501825, which proposes a separate interface for silicon stacked interconnect technology integration that uses an entire interposer as an interconnect carrier to achieve signal interconnection of two adjacent IC dies. However, the above two patents are limited by the defects of the chip itself and the structure design, and both can only interconnect two adjacent IC dies arranged side by side, and can only implement signal interconnection in a single direction, so that the structure limitation is large in practical application, and the signal delay of the device is difficult to design and adjust due to the structure limitation, and the complex circuit requirement of the large-scale integrated circuit is difficult to meet in practice.

Detailed Description
The following further describes the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings.
The application provides a multi-die FPGA designed based on a signal delay balancing technology, fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a packaging structure of the FPGA, fig. 2 is an enlarged view of a part of the structure in fig. 1, and fig. 3 is a corresponding schematic top view of fig. 1. The FPGA comprises a substrate 1, a
The FPGA of the application does not adopt a single FPGA bare chip structure, but comprises a plurality of FPGA bare chips, the plurality of FPGA bare chips are all stacked and arranged on the same
The internal structure of the FPGA bare chip and the connection mode of the FPGA bare chip and the
the FPGA bare chip in the present application is different from a conventional FPGA bare chip, and first, the structure of the conventional FPGA bare chip is described as follows, please refer to the schematic structure shown in fig. 4, where the conventional FPGA bare chip is composed of configurable functional modules with multiple functions, and a common configurable functional module mainly includes a programmable logic unit (CLB or PLBs) and an input/output port (IOB), and sometimes includes some other functional modules, such as BRAM, DSP, PC, and the like. Each configurable functional module has an interconnection resource module (INT) with the same structure distributed around the configurable functional module, and horizontal or vertical connecting lines among the configurable functional modules are connected through the INT module. On the basis of the conventional structure, the FPGA bare chip in the application also comprises a silicon stacking connection module which is specially designed in the bare chip according to the signal interconnection requirement between bare chips, besides the conventional configurable function modules comprising the CLB, the IOB and other function modules, each silicon stacking connection module comprises a plurality of silicon stacking connection points, the silicon stacking connection module is a newly-added configurable function module which is specially used for leading out bare chip signals, and the FPGA bare chip in the application replaces some conventional configurable function modules in the conventional FPGA bare chip into the silicon stacking connection module. And the conventional configurable function module at any position can be replaced according to the signal interconnection requirement, for example, the conventional Column-Based FPGA architecture shown in fig. 5 is taken as an example, wherein each Column is the same module, for example, CLBcolumn is a chip Column filled with CLB modules arranged from top to bottom. The height of each module is aligned with INT, the height of the CLB is equal to the INT height, the heights of other functional modules can be equal to a plurality of INT heights, the structure enables the whole FPGA to look like a two-dimensional array formed by INT, the heights of the modules in the array are consistent, the width of the same column is the same, but the widths of different columns can be different. Based on the two-dimensional array architecture, the silicon stacking connection module can be arranged in a row-column structure where the programmable logic unit is located, and can also be arranged in a row-column structure where other functional modules are located to obtain the FPGA bare chip in the application. The module size of the silicon stacking connection module is small, the height of the module is equal to the height of the CLB and INT, the width of the module is slightly smaller than the CLB, and the height and the width of other functional modules such as the DSP and the BRAM are larger than the CLB, so that an empty area is formed when the silicon stacking connection module is placed at the other functional modules (the DSP and the BRAM) with larger size, and at least one conventional circuit structure of a capacitor, a test circuit, a noise reduction circuit and a monitoring circuit can be arranged at the empty area to improve the circuit performance and enrich the functions.
The following examples are given: a schematic diagram of a conventional FPGA module using the architecture of fig. 5 is shown in fig. 6, which includes two other functional modules, namely, a DSP and a BRAM, in addition to a CLB, where the height of the CLB is equal to the height of INT, the height of the DSP is equal to 2 INT heights, and the height of the BRAM is equal to 4 INT heights. Based on the module structure shown in fig. 6, the CLB, the DSP, and the BRAM at any position may be replaced and set as the silicon stacking connection module to obtain the FPGA bare chip in the present application, for example, in fig. 7, the CLB column and the DSP column are both provided with the silicon stacking connection module LNK, and the CLB and one of the DSPs at the four corners are replaced and set as the silicon stacking connection module LNK. As can be seen from fig. 7, since the height of the DSP is equal to 2 INT heights, two silicon stack connection modules LNK are disposed in the height direction in the area where the DSP is originally arranged, and since the width of the DSP is greater than the width of the CLB, other conventional circuits, such as the TEST circuit TEST shown in fig. 7, may also be disposed in the vacant area in the width direction. Actual FPGA dies are also not necessarily limited to the Column-Based architecture illustrated in this application, and there is no fixed location for the silicon stack connection modules inside the FPGA dies.
Each silicon stacking connection module in the FPGA bare chip in the application also has an interconnection resource module distributed around the silicon stacking connection point, so that the winding structure of the FPGA bare chip in the application can be consistent with that of a conventional FPGA bare chip without changing. The horizontal or vertical connection lines between the silicon stacking connection module and each other configurable functional module are all connected via the INT module, and the silicon stacking connection module LNK is directly connected to the interconnection switch in the INT module corresponding to the silicon stacking connection module, and is a part of the interconnection line, please refer to fig. 8. The silicon stacking connection module LNK and the interconnection switch can be fully interconnected or partially interconnected according to the requirement of connectivity.
The FPGA die in the present application further includes a
At least two top metal lines 5 with different winding distances exist in the RDL layer, and the method comprises the following steps: each silicon stacking connection module LNK includes N rows and M columns of silicon stacking connection points 3 therein, as shown in fig. 8, each silicon stacking connection module LNK includes three types, i.e., a high delay silicon stacking connection point, a middle delay silicon stacking connection point, and a low delay silicon stacking connection point, respectively, and in the redistribution layer, the winding distance of the top layer metal line 5 connected to the high delay silicon stacking connection point, the winding distance of the top layer metal line 5 connected to the middle delay silicon stacking connection point, and the winding distance of the top layer metal line 5 connected to the low delay silicon stacking connection point are sequentially decreased, as shown in fig. 9, the high delay silicon stacking connection point forms a high delay area a, and the winding distance of the top layer metal line 5 connected thereto is the longest; the middle delay silicon stacking connection point forms a middle delay area B, and the routing distance of the top layer metal wire 5 connected with the middle delay silicon stacking connection point is the second order; the low-delay silicon stack connection point forms a low-delay region C, which connects the shortest routing distance of the top metal lines 5.
The
The
Fig. 3 illustrates the connection between the cross-die connection 3 and the
Therefore, in the present application, a signal transmission path is formed by a first top layer metal wire between a first silicon stacked connection point in any first FPGA die and a corresponding first connection point lead-out, a cross-die connection wire between the first connection point lead-out and a second connection point lead-out on any second FPGA die, and a second top layer metal wire between a second connection point lead-out on the second FPGA die and a corresponding second silicon stacked connection point. The signal delay of the signal transmission path corresponds to the total wiring distance of the signal transmission path, the total wiring distance is the sum of the winding distance of the first top-layer metal wire, the winding distance of the cross-die connecting wire and the winding distance of the second top-layer metal wire, and the longer the total wiring distance is, the higher the signal delay of the signal transmission path is. The Delay of the signal transmission path is T1a + T2a + T3a, where T1a is the signal Delay on the first top-level metal line, T2a is the signal Delay on the die-crossing line, and T3a is the signal Delay on the second top-level metal line, so to adjust the Delay of the signal transmission path, Delay _ path can be implemented by adjusting one or more of T1a, T2a, and T3a, and each signal Delay corresponds to a respective routing distance, so that the signal Delay can be adjusted by adjusting the routing distances of the first top-level metal line, the die-crossing line, and the second top-level metal line. By adjusting the total wiring distances of the two signal transmission paths to be equal, the signal delays of the two signal transmission paths can be made equal.
Since the FPGA die is provided with the
In addition, in order to achieve higher communication bandwidth, multiple rows/multiple columns of connection point leading-
It should be noted that the multi-die FPGA of the present application employs the FPGA die with the built-in dedicated silicon stack connection point, and signal extraction and die interconnection are performed through the independent silicon stack connection point.
