Specific embodiment
In the such as chip-stack of 4Di chip-stacks, form be with commonly(Top)Multiple chips of chip arranged side-by-side
Substantial amounts of silicon is packed and interconnects the area multiplication for providing about 8.5X or bigger, with for 4Di chip-stacks and public
The 57.6k connections of both power and communications between chip.However, the interconnection through common chip intersects density restriction by turning
And because it is that the vertical length direction of each is vertical orientated along multiple chips that power is transported, to the work(of common chip
Rate is transported and faced the challenge.
According to the embodiments described herein, there is provided a kind of chip-stack and be presented as 4Di chip-stacks, it include with
At least active surface is to active surface(I.e., face-to-face)Packet is arranged and with the conducting element for arranging between them(For example
Little pitch microprotrusion or micro-force sensing)Multiple chips.This is in chip pair(Or, more specifically, two or more chips point
Group)Between relatively high bandwidth is provided connects and can be used in, for example, power conversion either memory chip or is included
Chip such as decoupling capacitor or the integrated passive devices of inducer is attached to processor chips.Also effectively multiplication can for this
The active region of the chip being closely electrically interconnected with other modules.In addition, chip-stack provides each chip pair or 30 or more multicore
At least 28.8k connections of the chip chamber of piece centering, the total connection for use in chip-stack is at least 864k.In addition, facing core
The use of piece pair is favourable, because being symmetrical arranged so that any stress induced bending is compensated for.
With reference now to Fig. 1 and 2, there is provided encapsulating structure 10 is used as exemplary chip-stack.Encapsulating structure 10 at least includes one
Pair or multipair first chip 11, the second chip 12 and in some cases, common chip 12, itself and one or more chips pair
