Technical problem to be solved by the invention
In order to further improve the computing performance of the computing device, not only HBM (high bandwidth Memory) in which Memory elements are vertically stacked but also a plurality of semiconductor chips that generate heat such as CPU and GPU are vertically stacked to form a stacked three-dimensional computing circuit, and if a cooling technique for effectively releasing the heat generated at this time is not available, a stacked three-dimensional integrated circuit cannot be formed except for the Memory, a higher-performance computing device used in a cloud server or the like cannot be realized, and the performance of the computing device is improved to the limit. If a three-dimensional integrated circuit is configured by using the cooling method proposed by the present invention, the performance improvement limit can be easily broken.
According to a first aspect of the present invention, a semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device may include a plurality of stacked semiconductor chips. The semiconductor device may include an interposer between each of the plurality of semiconductor chips or between each of the plurality of three-dimensionally mounted semiconductor chips. Each of the interposers may be provided with a moving path of the refrigerant. The moving paths of the refrigerants provided in the interposers may be connected to each other.
The plurality of interposers may also include a first interposer provided with a groove, and a second interposer provided between a surface of the first interposer provided with the groove and a lower surface of the integrated circuit and blocking the groove provided in the first interposer. The moving path of the refrigerant may be formed by holes penetrating the integrated circuit, the first interposer, and the second interposer, which are sandwiched between the grooves formed in the respective first interposers and the second interposers. The refrigerant flows through a space formed by the space passing through the groove and the second interposer and the holes of the integrated circuits, the first interposer, and the second interposer.
The refrigerant moving path may be provided by a heat pipe disposed in the groove.
The heat pipe may connect between the plurality of interposers obliquely across the layers outside the semiconductor device.
The groove formed in the first interposer of the plurality of interposers may include a plurality of first groove portions extending in the first direction. The groove formed in the second interposer of the plurality of interposers may include a plurality of first groove portions extending in a second direction different from the first direction.
The first direction and the second direction may also be substantially orthogonal.
The plurality of semiconductor chips may be connected between the grooves passing through the plurality of stages through the via holes. The via hole may be provided at a position surrounded by the recess when viewed from the stacking direction of the plurality of semiconductor chips. Further, the via hole may be formed at a corresponding position of the semiconductor, and may be formed between the grooves of the interposer where the grooves through which the refrigerant passes are formed, to bond the layers.
The plurality of semiconductor chips may be connected between upper and lower layers through via holes. A surrounding groove surrounding the via hole may be formed on the plurality of interposers. Each of the plurality of semiconductor chips may be bonded to an adjacent interposer by an adhesive disposed in the surrounding groove.
The plurality of semiconductor chips may be arithmetic devices such as CPUs and GPUs. A logic block including a plurality of logic chips and a plurality of interposers may be mounted on the first major surface side of the substrate. The semiconductor device may further include one or more three-dimensional memory chips provided on a second main surface of the substrate opposite to the first main surface, or between the logic block and the first main surface. With this configuration, by configuring the shortest circuit between the three-dimensional integrated circuit including the arithmetic devices of a plurality of layers and the three-dimensional memory chip, it is possible to suppress heat generation and realize data communication among the memory, the CPU, and the GPU using a high-speed clock.
Cooling is performed without using a cooling pipe by forming a groove through which a coolant flows in a copper or aluminum plate or a silicon substrate and connecting upper and lower layers by a hole in a vertical direction to form a cooling line.
Further, in another aspect proposed here, a cooling pipe is formed by forming vertical and horizontal grooves through which a coolant flows in a copper, aluminum, or silicon substrate without using a cooling pipe, and opening the grooves to extend to the end of the substrate, whereby the coolant is cooled from the inside of the semiconductor by entering the coolant from the side surface through the immersion liquid, and it is not necessary to form a vertical pipe through a vertical hole. The vertical and horizontal grooves avoid the portions constituting the TSV. In the case of inserting a layer of copper or aluminum, the portion of the TSV in the vertical direction of the structure other than the groove requires a silicon substrate in the hole portion of the copper or aluminum plate.
The grooves through which the refrigerant passes are formed by vertically and horizontally digging grooves on the substrate layer by etching, CNC engraving, laser engraving, or punching, and the grooves through which the refrigerant passes may be V-shaped, U-shaped, or "コ" shaped.
According to the second aspect of the present invention, in mounting an independent semiconductor in an independent BGA or semiconductor package based on the same conventional BGA, the independent semiconductor package can be vertically stacked in any layer in the vertical direction by providing a geometric pad for connecting terminals of the BGA on the upper surface of the package. The stacked BGA terminals are cooled by immersion liquid in the gaps of the ball grids. A semiconductor package and a cooling method are provided, in which a ball grid of BGA is mounted on the lower part of a semiconductor, a geometrical pad contacting with the BGA is mounted on the upper surface, and immersion is used as a precondition. The laminated integrated circuit designed as described in this item is stacked up and down, and a three-dimensional laminated integrated circuit is configured on the premise of an immersion liquid.
The semiconductor packages are stacked one on top of the other and held pressed against misalignment. The holding mechanism may have a guide so that the stacked semiconductors do not shift. The coolant flows through the gaps of the ball grid of the BGA terminal or the like. Further, since the cooling liquid does not flow between the interposers, and each semiconductor is formed of a conventional semiconductor package except for adding a geometric pad to the upper surface, the difficulty in manufacturing is not increased. Since the data path corresponds to the thickness in the vertical direction including the contact, high-speed interconnection can be realized, and the essence of the present invention can be realized without changing the conventional semiconductor manufacturing method.

In this case, the semiconductor has a trapezoidal shape in order to change the length of the groove. In the case where the longitudinal and lateral grooves are present, the trapezoidal shape is irregular in order to prevent the longitudinal and lateral resonances from occurring.
The semiconductor device according to claim 26, wherein electrodes are provided at corners or edges or both of the semiconductor device formed by stacking BGA packages, and electrodes having a metal rod shape are brought into contact with the electrodes, thereby supplying GND having low impedance and stable power supply potential.

The cover may also be provided with a spring or the like for pressing the semiconductor. In addition, the cover may have a path for connecting the respective potentials of the positive electrode and the negative electrode to each other.
Claim 28 is the semiconductor of
Claim 29 is the semiconductor device of claim 28, wherein the laminated portion of the interposer and the semiconductor chip is reinforced with underfill or the like for preventing the FC pad from being impregnated with the refrigerant.
In
The semiconductor device according to claim 31 is the semiconductor device according to
The semiconductor device of claim 13, wherein the package having pads on the upper surface thereof according to claim 13 for vertical connection to the BGA terminals of the upper layer is composed of a FC-BGA substrate having a cavity for receiving the semiconductor device and a lid of the heat sink.
A part different from the typical FC-BGA substrate is that a geometrically shaped pad electrode (pad) for connection with the BGA package of the previous layer is provided on the upper surface except the dimple. The portion of the dimple has an FC bump bonded to the semiconductor. The portion to be added to a normal FC-BGA substrate is a portion in which a substrate having a hole in the center for receiving a semiconductor is added, and a pad (land) extending upward in the form of a through hole and connected to a BGA bump of an upper package is provided on the surface.
The reason why no BGA pad is provided on the upper surface of the portion of the semiconductor surface is to provide a heat sink on the recess of the substrate of the semiconductor portion and to form a cap by applying a compound.
The pit portion may be configured as follows: in the manufacturing process of the substrate, a substrate having a hole for receiving a semiconductor in the center is bonded, and the substrate constituting the lower portion of the package and a pad (land) portion constituting the upper portion are connected to each other by formation of a through hole. When the distances between the BGA bumps of the first layer and the second layer and thereafter and the pads (pads) are the same, the BGA bumps of all layers and the pads may be vertically connected through the through holes to constitute the internal bus lines of the three-dimensional semiconductor of this configuration.
Alternatively, the semiconductor chip may be directly bonded to the FC-BGA substrate of the upper cover by FC balls, and the substrate and the semiconductor chip may be vertically bonded by FC balls.
Claim 33 is the semiconductor of claim 32, which itself may be the same in all layers. The first layer of FC-BGA substrate has pads connected to the upper layer of the FC-BGA substrate, and the upper cover of the FC-BGA substrate has pads through it. The BGA of the second layer and the edge portion of the FC-BGA substrate after the second layer has a pad longitudinally penetrating the substrate and connected to the upper lid.
The second layer and the subsequent layers soldered to the first layer of the PCB may be formed of BGA with small bumps.
The BGA pads on the upper surface of the first layer and the second and subsequent BGA bumps and pads are used for interlayer coupling, and smaller bumps and bump spacings than the first layer may also be used. The BGA pads on the upper surface of the first layer and the BGA bumps and pads of the second and subsequent layers may or may not include external bus connections.
The interconnection to the external bus may also be undertaken by only the lowest chip. When the BGA connection of the small bump does not include the external bus connection, the signal propagation distance becomes extremely short, and thus a high-speed clock operation can be performed. Since the signal is not connected to the terminal, the signal is operated in consideration of the reflection similar to the PCI bus. Since the BGA is formed of small bumps, holes may be formed in the upper FC-BGA substrate and the lower FC-BGA substrate to allow stacking by means of guide pins or the like in order to improve the alignment accuracy of the stacking.
In the power supply method according to claim 26 or 27, an electrode may be provided in the hole of the leader pin by plating, and the leader pin may be used as a rod for supplying power.
Claim 34 is the semiconductor device of claim 32 or claim 33, wherein the package is formed by using the FC-BGA substrate having the same recess for receiving the semiconductor chip as the first layer in the second and subsequent layers, and the package is sealed with a heat sink together with the compound, by using the BGA bumps of the same size as the small bumps of claim 33 in all layers, instead of the BGA bumps of the small bumps of claim 33. By removing the BGA bumps covering the part of the package and the heat sink, while disposing the BGA bumps for external connection bus on the inner side of the lower part of the chip which is blocked by the chip and cannot penetrate vertically, and disposing the BGA bumps for interconnection between the chips on the outer side, it is possible to remove only a part of the BGA bumps for external connection, and to constitute the second layer and the subsequent layers by using a package based on the same semiconductor in all layers and the same substrate in all layers except for the absence of a part of the BGA bumps.
In the case of the semiconductor device according to claim 35, which is described in

The present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments of the invention, but the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims.

Fig. 8 schematically shows a cross-sectional view of a semiconductor device 600 according to a second embodiment together with a heat pipe 500. Fig. 9 shows a schematic perspective view of interposer 420 forming semiconductor device 600. Fig. 10 is a schematic perspective view of a portion of a semiconductor device 600 including an interposer 420, a
The semiconductor device 600 has a structure in which the heat pipe 500 is disposed in the groove instead of a structure in which the refrigerant flows in the groove formed in the interposer, and does not include the
The interposer 420 is a component corresponding to the
As shown in fig. 9, both ends of the groove 424 of the interposer 420 are located at the outer edge of the interposer 420. Specifically, one end 423 and the other end 429 of the groove 424 of the interposer 420 are located at the edge of the interposer 420. Similarly, interposer 410 has a groove with both ends located at the outer edge of interposer 410.
As shown in fig. 10, the heat pipe 500 inserted into the groove 424 of the interposer 420 extends from one end 423 and the other end 429 to the outside of the interposer 420. The heat pipe 500 extending from the other end 429 of the interposer 420 is disposed in a state of being inserted into the interposer 410 from one end of the groove formed on the rim portion of the interposer 410. As shown in fig. 6, the heat pipe 500 is configured to: the directions of the portions of the heat pipe 500 extending linearly are substantially orthogonal between the adjacent interposers.
In this way, in the semiconductor device 600 of the second embodiment, the moving path of the refrigerant is provided by the heat pipe 500 disposed in the groove formed on the interposer. The heat pipe 500 connects between the plurality of interposers outside the semiconductor device 600. Further, in the case where the heat pipe 500 is provided in the groove as in the second embodiment, it is necessary to bring the heat pipe 500 into reliable contact with the semiconductor chip. Therefore, it is preferable that the lower surface of the semiconductor chip and the upper surface of the adjacent interposer are directly strongly bonded.
As shown in the semiconductor device 600, the moving path of the refrigerant may also be formed by a heat pipe extending in grooves sandwiched between grooves formed respectively in the plurality of interposers and the integrated circuits. The path of the refrigerant may be a path in which the heat pipe disposed in the recess passes through the outside of the semiconductor device and becomes the heat pipe of the next stage, and the refrigerant flows.
Fig. 11 is a schematic perspective view showing an arrangement structure of heat pipes. The heat pipe 540 shown in fig. 11 is provided as the heat pipe 500 shown in fig. 8 to 10: the three-layer interposer extends to form a single refrigerant flow path.
Fig. 12 is a perspective view showing a modification of the arrangement structure of the heat pipe. The heat pipe 500 described above is configured to: the directions of the plurality of portions extending linearly in the heat pipe 500 are substantially orthogonal between the adjacent interposers. In contrast, in the heat pipe 550 of the present modification, the heat pipe portions disposed in the respective interposers have the same shape, and the heat pipe portions provided in the respective interposers are disposed in parallel.
In heat pipe 550, when viewed from the stacking direction of
Heat pipe 500 and heat pipe 550 may be inserted from a gap of the interposer and disposed in the interposer. The interposers may be stacked in a state where the heat pipes are arranged in the grooves of the interposers in advance, and after the interposers are stacked, the heat pipes of the adjacent interposers may be connected to each other outside the semiconductor device 600.
Fig. 13 is a perspective view showing an interposer 1100, an interposer 1110, an interposer 1120, and a heat pipe 1500 in a modification of the semiconductor device 600. Fig. 14 is a front view showing the arrangement of the interposer 1100, the interposer 1110, the interposer 1120, the heat pipe 1500, and the
As shown in fig. 13, the interposer 1120 has a plurality of grooves 1300a, 1300b, 1300c, 1300d, 1300e, 1300f, 1300g, 1300h, and 1300i extending linearly. Further, the grooves 1300a, 1300b, 1300c, 1300d, 1300e, 1300f, 1300g, 1300h, and 1300i may be collectively referred to as a groove 1300. The groove 1300 is formed from one edge of the interposer 1120 to the other edge. The grooves 1300 extend linearly and are arranged substantially in parallel. Heat pipe 1500, which extends within interposer 1120, has straight portions 1510 disposed in groove 1300a, straight portions 1520 disposed in groove 1300b, and curved portions 1530 that curve outside interposer 1120 and connect straight portions 1510 and straight portions 1520. The same is true in the other grooves 1300, and the bent portions connecting between adjacent grooves in the heat pipe 1500 exist outside the interposer. The same applies to the other interpolators 1110 and 1100. Since the bent portion of the heat pipe can be disposed outside the interposer and the semiconductor chip, the degree of freedom of curvature of the heat pipe can be improved.
The semiconductor device described above may be provided with a temperature detection circuit for detecting the temperature of the refrigerant, and a heater for adjusting the temperature of the liquid-phase refrigerant cooled by the heat sink to a boiling point just before the liquid-phase refrigerant is returned from the bottom surface of the three-dimensional semiconductor again, and returning the liquid-phase refrigerant to the bottom surface in a gaseous phase. By providing the temperature adjustment mechanism for the coolant, the coolant can be returned without boiling the coolant in the semiconductor and without causing vibration or the like in the semiconductor due to a cavitation effect or the like.

The extending direction of the recess 1791 is substantially orthogonal to the extending direction of the recess 1792. Each of the recesses 1791 intersects any one of the recesses 1792. The via group 1601 penetrates through a region of the upper surface 1711 where the grooves 1791 and 1792 are not formed, specifically, a rectangular region surrounded by the grooves 1791 and 1792, in the stacking direction.
Interposer 1720,
Thus,
The grooves 1791 and 1792 form a moving path of the refrigerant. The refrigerant flows into at least any one of the grooves 1791 and 1792 from the outside of the semiconductor device 1700 through at least any one of the openings 1793 and 1794, and flows out of at least any one of the grooves 1791 and 1792 to the outside of the semiconductor device 1700 through at least any one of the openings 1793 and 1794. As the refrigerant, a liquid refrigerant having high insulation and being inert, such as a fluorine compound, can be used. According to the semiconductor device 1700, the semiconductor chip 1610, the

The refrigerant 1870 can flow in the
According to the semiconductor device 1700 described in association with fig. 15 to 18, the concave grooves 1791 and 1792 can be used as a moving path of the immersion refrigerant, and thus a cooling pipe using a heat pipe or the like is not required. In addition, it is not necessary to form the refrigerant path in the stacking direction. In addition, it is not necessary to provide the semiconductor device 1700 with a pump for moving the refrigerant in the semiconductor device 1700.
In the semiconductor device described above, the semiconductor chip and the interposer may be bonded by pressure bonding without using an adhesive. In addition, from the viewpoint of yield, it is often preferable that the groove serving as a moving path of the refrigerant is formed in the interposer. However, in the semiconductor device described above, a recess serving as a moving path of the refrigerant may be formed in a surface of the semiconductor chip opposite to the surface on which the circuit is mounted.
As described above, there is provided a three-dimensional laminated integrated circuit in which a groove through which a refrigerant passes is formed in a copper or aluminum plate or a silicon substrate without using a cooling pipe, and upper and lower layers are connected to each other through a hole in a vertical direction, thereby forming a pipe. Further, by forming longitudinal and transverse grooves through which a coolant passes without using a cooling pipe on a copper, aluminum, or silicon substrate and opening the grooves to extend to the end of the substrate, the coolant is allowed to enter and be released from each layer from the peripheral surface of the semiconductor by immersion liquid to cool the inside of the semiconductor, and there is no need to form a pipe through which the coolant flows in the layer direction.
The vertical and horizontal grooves avoid the portions constituting the TSV. Provided is a three-dimensional laminated integrated circuit wherein the structure of a cooling system is simplified by circulating a refrigerant between each layer and the outside by means of a groove provided up to the end of an interposer. In the case where a layer of copper or aluminum is inserted as a member constituting the recess, it is necessary to fill the portion of the hole of the copper or aluminum plate constituting the portion of the TSV in the vertical direction with a silicon substrate.
Not only the CPU, GPGPU, and the computation portion of the central processing unit for virtual currency mining, but also the HBM is mounted on the three-dimensional semiconductor of the cooling method of this embodiment, or a memory layer is inserted between layers. When the memory layer is sandwiched, only the operation layer and the memory layer need to be connected by the TSV, so that the stray capacitance of the memory bus is minimized, and ultra-high speed operation is possible.
Particularly, when used for excavation or the like, as in a large-scale apartment, by providing TSVs for redundant data paths at a plurality of locations and overlapping a plurality of processor arrays including defective locations, defective locations may be present in the data paths, and the processor elements may be used so that the defective locations gradually increase in three-dimensional mounting of a fine semiconductor such as 5nm that initially includes the defective locations.
Fig. 19 schematically outputs the structure of the above-described groove. The grooves through which the refrigerant passes are formed by cutting the substrate layer by etching, engraving, or computer NC, or by punching grooves into the substrate layer in a longitudinal and transverse direction, and the grooves through which the refrigerant passes are V-shaped, U-shaped, or "コ" shaped.
Fig. 20 schematically shows a structure for preventing the decomposition of the three-dimensional cooling semiconductor. As a member that not only contacts the BGA but also prevents the three-dimensional cooling semiconductor from being decomposed by the pressure of cavitation or the like, metal plates such as aluminum plates are prepared on the upper and lower sides (the back surface of the PCB and the back surface of the semiconductor) and are clamped at four or more points with clips. An insulator or the like is interposed between the aluminum plate and the PCB.
Fig. 21 schematically shows a structure for preventing cavitation of the refrigerant. In spite of the immersion liquid, cavitation is prevented by mounting a connector on either side of the semiconductor and injecting the solution under a positive pressure by means of a pump. The operation can be performed at a temperature at which cavitation is not caused by the immersion liquid.
Fig. 22 schematically shows a structure for preventing cavitation of the refrigerant. In the case of a groove having only one direction, a seal is attached, and an inlet and an outlet are provided to prevent cavitation in a sealed manner rather than immersion liquid. Fig. 23 schematically shows a structure for preventing cavitation of the refrigerant. In the case of an immersion liquid, the discharge port is opened in the liquid by having only the injection port in one direction or in a vertically and horizontally open type, and cavitation is prevented by applying a positive pressure from the injection port.
Fig. 24 schematically shows a structure for preventing occurrence of cavitation and working. An acoustic sensor is provided, and the output of the acoustic sensor is used to control the clock frequency to prevent cavitation erosion from occurring and to operate the device. As a member for preventing the three-dimensional cooling of the semiconductor from being decomposed by the positive pressure generated by the injection of the coolant for preventing the cavitation, metal plates such as aluminum plates are prepared on the upper and lower sides (the back surface of the PCB and the back surface of the semiconductor), and are clamped at four or more points by clamps. An insulator or the like is interposed between the aluminum plate and the PCB. The whistle generated by the boiling of the refrigerant is detected by the sound sensor, and the frequency is controlled within a range where the whistle is not generated.
Fig. 25 schematically shows a structure for preventing whistling resonance. Fig. 26 schematically shows another configuration for preventing whistling resonance. Fig. 27 schematically shows another configuration for preventing whistling resonance. In order to prevent resonance, the depth and length of the groove can be changed to prevent whistling resonance. In this case, the semiconductor may have a trapezoidal shape in order to change the length of the groove. In the case where the longitudinal and lateral grooves are present, the trapezoidal shape is irregular in order to prevent the longitudinal and lateral resonances from occurring.
Fig. 28 schematically shows a semiconductor package for cooling a three-dimensional stacked integrated circuit by immersion. The semiconductor package is a BGA or quasi-BGA package, and has a structure in which pads of a geometric shape (circular, quadrangular, triangular, star-shaped, etc.) that contact the BGA are also provided on the surface of the semiconductor package and can be stacked up and down, and is mounted by immersion using the gaps of the contact grid. A semiconductor package and a cooling method are provided, in which a ball grid of a BGA is mounted on the lower part of a semiconductor, and a pad having a geometrical shape (circular, quadrangular, triangular, star-shaped, etc.) in contact with the BGA is mounted on the upper surface of the semiconductor. The single-layer laminated integrated circuit thus designed was stacked one on top of another, and a three-dimensional laminated integrated circuit was configured on the premise of immersion. The semiconductors are stacked one on top of the other and held pressed against misalignment. The coolant flows in the gaps of the ball grid of the metal contacts. Since the data path corresponds to the thickness in the vertical direction including the contact, high-speed interconnection can be realized, and the essence of the present invention can be realized without changing the conventional semiconductor manufacturing method. The pads may also be contacted by springs.
The shape of the semiconductor shown in fig. 28 is intended to connect vertical buses of a central processing unit, a GPGPU, a semiconductor memory, and an HBM for cooling by immersion liquid, and although there are cases where pads such as pads are mounted on the semiconductor, it is merely placed on the semiconductor in a mother-and-child manner, but this is not the case in the present invention, in which immersion liquid is actively used in gaps of ball grids of BGAs, and thus, as a cooling structure, it is intended to cool by immersion liquid using gaps of BGA packages stacked in a mother-and-child structure, and the connection of terminals and contacts of vertical BGAs, etc., constitutes a data bus in the vertical direction. Therefore, the data bus is extended to the outside of the semiconductor, but only a minimum distance is required, and a high-frequency bus operation can be performed. That is, the object of the method for cooling a three-dimensional semiconductor according to the present invention is to increase the speed of the operation of a stacked memory or processor by using the vertical connection of semiconductors stacked on pads as a vertical bus.
Fig. 29, 30, and 31 show an example of the embodiment according to claim 26. The cooling method by a refrigerant for the three-dimensional stacked integrated circuit according to claim 26 and the three-dimensional stacked integrated circuit using the cooling method are the semiconductor according to claim 13, wherein electrodes are provided at corners or edges or both of the semiconductor in which BGA packages are stacked, and the electrodes are brought into contact with the electrodes, whereby GND having low impedance and stable power supply potential are supplied. The metal rod-like electrode may have a structure in which a capacitor is provided between both the positive electrode and the negative electrode.
Fig. 31 is the semiconductor device according to claim 26, which may be provided with a cap having a function of connecting electrodes to each other in order to press the stacked semiconductor devices and supply a stable potential with low impedance. The cover may also be provided with a spring or the like for pressing the semiconductor. In addition, the cover may have a path for connecting the respective potentials of the positive electrode and the negative electrode to each other.
Fig. 36 and 37 show an example of the embodiment of claim 28. The cooling method by a refrigerant for the three-dimensional stacked integrated circuit according to claim 28 and the three-dimensional stacked integrated circuit using the cooling method are the semiconductors according to
Fig. 38 is the semiconductor device according to
In addition, FIG. 39, FIG. 40, FIG. 41, FIG. 42, FIG. 43 and FIG. 45 are the semiconductor of claim 32,
the semiconductor device according to claim 13, wherein the package having pads on the upper surface thereof according to claim 13 for vertical connection to the BGA terminals of the upper layer is composed of an FC-BGA substrate having a cavity for housing the semiconductor device and a lid of the heat sink.
A part different from the typical FC-BGA substrate is that a geometrically shaped pad electrode (pad) for connection with the BGA package of the previous layer is provided on the upper surface except the dimple. The portion of the dimple has an FC bump bonded to the semiconductor. The portion to be added to a normal FC-BGA substrate is a portion in which a substrate having a hole in the center for receiving a semiconductor is added, and a pad (land) extending upward in the form of a through hole and connected to a BGA bump of an upper package is provided on the surface.
The reason why no BGA pad is provided on the upper surface of the portion of the semiconductor surface is to provide a heat sink on the recess of the substrate of the semiconductor portion and to form a cap by applying a compound.
The pit portion may be configured as follows: in the manufacturing process of the substrate, a substrate having a hole for receiving a semiconductor in the center is bonded, and the substrate constituting the lower portion of the package and a pad (land) portion constituting the upper portion are connected to each other by formation of a through hole. When the distances between the BGA bumps of the first layer and the second layer and thereafter and the pads (pads) are the same, the BGA bumps of all layers and the pads may be vertically connected through the through holes to constitute the internal bus lines of the three-dimensional semiconductor of this configuration.
Alternatively, the semiconductor chip may be directly bonded to the FC-BGA substrate of the upper cover by FC balls, and the substrate and the semiconductor chip may be vertically bonded by FC balls.
In addition, fig. 39 and 41 show the semiconductor according to claim 13, and the semiconductor itself may be the same in all layers. The first layer of FC-BGA substrate has pads connected to the upper layer of the FC-BGA substrate, and the upper cover of the FC-BGA substrate has pads through it. The BGA of the edge portion of the FC-BGA substrate has a pad which penetrates vertically in the substrate and is connected to the upper cover. The upper cover has an electrically through pad. In the second and subsequent layers, the pads of the power supply of claim 26 may also be provided on the side of the substrate.
Fig. 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, and 45 illustrate an example of the semiconductor according to claim 33, and the semiconductor itself may be the same in all layers in the semiconductor according to claim 32. The first layer of FC-BGA substrate has pads connected to the upper layer of the FC-BGA substrate, and the upper cover of the FC-BGA substrate has pads through it. The BGA of the second layer and the edge portion of the FC-BGA substrate after the second layer has a pad longitudinally penetrating the substrate and connected to the upper lid.
The second layer and the subsequent layers soldered to the first layer of the PCB may be formed of BGA with small bumps.
The BGA pads on the upper surface of the first layer and the second and subsequent BGA bumps and pads are used for interlayer coupling, and smaller bumps and bump spacings than the first layer may also be used. The BGA pads on the upper surface of the first layer and the BGA bumps and pads of the second and subsequent layers may or may not include external bus connections.
The interconnection to the external bus may also be undertaken by only the lowest chip. When the BGA connection of the small bump does not include the external bus connection, the signal propagation distance becomes extremely short, and thus a high-speed clock operation can be performed. Since the signal is not connected to the terminal, the signal is operated in consideration of the reflection similar to the PCI bus. Since the BGA is formed of small bumps, holes may be formed in the upper FC-BGA substrate and the lower FC-BGA substrate to allow stacking by means of guide pins or the like in order to improve the alignment accuracy of the stacking.
In the power supply method according to claim 26 or 27, an electrode may be provided in the hole of the leader pin by plating, and the leader pin may be used as a rod for supplying power.
As stated in claim 33, the second and subsequent layers of the semiconductor of claim 32 other than the first layer soldered to the PCB may also be comprised of BGA of small bumps. The FC pads may pass only signals for the internal bus lines on the upper side of the substrate of the first layer and on the second and subsequent layers. The interconnection to the external bus may also be undertaken by the lowest chip. Since the BGA is formed of small bumps, holes may be formed in the upper FC-BGA substrate and the lower FC-BGA substrate to allow stacking by means of guide pins or the like in order to improve the alignment accuracy of the stacking.
An electrode may be provided in the hole of the leader pin by plating, and the leader pin may also serve as a rod for supplying power. As shown in fig. 40, in the power supply method for reducing the impedance generated by the pressing cap according to claim 27, a guide pin may be used as the electrode.
(Here, 31 is mentioned alongside 32 because of noise)
In addition, fig. 39 and 41 show the semiconductor of claim 31 or claim 32, and a hole may be formed in the FC-BGA substrate of the upper lid, a heat sink may be mounted for cooling, and a compound may be applied between the semiconductor and the heat sink.
Fig. 39, 40 and 41 show the semiconductor device according to claim 31, 32 and 34, wherein the BGA bumps with small bumps according to claim 33 are not used, the second layer and the subsequent layers are the same as the first layer, and the BGA bumps on the heat sink portion are removed from the BGA with the package, whereby the BGA bumps for external connection buses are arranged on the inner side and the outer side is the BGA bumps for internal connection.
Fig. 40 shows an example of mounting the semiconductor device according to claim 27. The semiconductor device according to claim 26, wherein a cover having a function of connecting the electrodes to each other may be provided in order to press the stacked semiconductor device and supply a stable potential with low impedance. The cover may also be provided with a spring or the like for pressing the semiconductor. In addition, the cover may have a path for connecting the respective potentials of the positive electrode and the negative electrode to each other.
Fig. 41 shows an example of mounting the semiconductor device according to claim 32. A structure in which the substrate of the upper cover is longitudinally connected to the substrate of the lower cover is shown, but the connection of the first layer is omitted. In addition, the connection to the semiconductor chip is omitted in each connection.
The semiconductor device according to claim 13, wherein the package having pads on the upper surface thereof according to claim 13 for vertical connection to the BGA terminals of the upper layer is composed of an FC-BGA substrate having a cavity for housing the semiconductor device and a lid of the heat sink.
A part different from the typical FC-BGA substrate is that a geometrically shaped pad electrode (pad) for connection with the BGA package of the previous layer is provided on the upper surface except the dimple. The portion of the dimple has an FC bump bonded to the semiconductor. The portion to be added to a normal FC-BGA substrate is a portion in which a substrate having a hole in the center for receiving a semiconductor is added, and a pad (land) extending upward in the form of a through hole and connected to a BGA bump of an upper package is provided on the surface.
The reason why no BGA pad is provided on the upper surface of the portion of the semiconductor surface is to provide a heat sink on the recess of the substrate of the semiconductor portion and to form a cap by applying a compound.
The pit portion may be configured as follows: in the manufacturing process of the substrate, a substrate having a hole for receiving a semiconductor in the center is bonded, and the substrate constituting the lower portion of the package and a pad (land) portion constituting the upper portion are connected to each other by formation of a through hole. When the distances between the BGA bumps of the first layer and the second layer and thereafter and the pads (pads) are the same, the BGA bumps of all layers and the pads may be vertically connected through the through holes to constitute the internal bus lines of the three-dimensional semiconductor of this configuration.
Fig. 42 shows an example of mounting the semiconductor device according to claim 32. Although the structure of the BGA package one layer is shown as viewed from the back surface, all BGA bump electrodes are mounted on the package of the first layer, but the BGA bump electrodes are not mounted on the second layer and the layers subsequent thereto of the semiconductor package at the central portion of the second layer and the layers subsequent thereto where the heat sink is present, thereby avoiding contact with the heat sink.
The reason why no BGA pad is provided on the upper surface of the portion of the semiconductor surface is to provide a heat sink on the recess of the substrate of the semiconductor portion and to form a cap by applying a compound.
The pit portion may be configured as follows: in the manufacturing process of the substrate, a substrate having a hole for receiving a semiconductor in the center is bonded, and the substrate constituting the lower portion of the package and a pad (land) portion constituting the upper portion are connected to each other by formation of a through hole.

The semiconductor device of claim 32 or claim 33, wherein the package is formed by an FC-BGA substrate having the same recess for receiving the semiconductor chip as the first layer in the second and subsequent layers, and the package is sealed with a heat sink together with the compound by using BGA bumps of the same size as the small bumps of claim 33 in all layers instead of using BGA bumps of the small bumps of claim 33. By removing the BGA bumps of the portion of the heat sink covered by the package, disposing the BGA bumps for external connection bus lines inside the lower portion of the chip which is blocked by the chip and does not penetrate vertically, and disposing the BGA bumps for interconnection between the chips outside, it is possible to remove only a part of the BGA bumps for external connection, and to constitute the second layer and the subsequent layers by the package based on the same semiconductor in all the layers and the same substrate in all the layers except that a part of the BGA bumps is not present.
