Abstract

The IC package includes a substrate having an uppermost layer, an intermediate layer, and a bottom layer; An array of millimeter wave antennas embedded in a top layer of the substrate; And a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) mounted on the bottom layer of the substrate. In one embodiment, a second level interconnect for surface mount on a printed circuit board (PCB) is provided on the bottom layer of the substrate.
Description
One embodiment of the present invention relates to integrated circuit packages, and more particularly to millimeter wave integrated circuit packages.
Millimeter wave systems that perform beamforming and steering typically include many antenna elements, integrated circuits, and interconnects. Such systems are the basis of a viable mechanism for providing short-range wireless connectivity at high data rates for consumer applications. In order to achieve performance and cost objectives, a common challenge is to develop an integrated platform package that is compatible with mass production and assembly processes.
Such an integrated package accommodates various functions as the level of integration increases. These functions include the provision of low loss, resonant millimeter wave signal paths, the integration of multilayer antenna elements and their internal network, local oscillator (LO), intermediate frequency (IF) distribution and passive circuits, Lt; / RTI >
A common scenario where a millimeter wave antenna is integrated with an integrated circuit (IC) is that both the antenna and the IC are located in the top layer of the substrate to ensure acceptable performance. This approach has problems when there are many antenna elements that need to be individually driven by separate RF ports located in more than one IC. First, routing congestion will limit the number of elements.
Moreover, the package is as large as the ICs, and the antennas must be positioned on the same surface with sufficient clearance. As the size of the package increases, the cost increases and, in some cases, the substrate may be too large to manufacture. Finally, heat removal from the ICs is difficult.
According to one embodiment, an integrated circuit (IC) package is disclosed. The IC package includes a substrate having an uppermost layer, an intermediate layer, and a bottom layer; An array of millimeter wave antennas embedded in one layer of the substrate (e.g., top layer); And a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) mounted on another different layer of the substrate (e.g., the bottom layer).
According to another embodiment, a system is disclosed. The system includes a substrate having an uppermost layer, an intermediate layer and a bottom layer, an array of millimeter wave antennas embedded in one layer (e.g., top layer) of the substrate, and a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) mounted on another layer ). ≪ / RTI > A printed circuit board (PCB) is mounted on the second layer of the substrate.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings which are used to illustrate embodiments of the invention.
A surface mountable packaging means for the integration of radiation and integrated circuit elements of a millimeter wave module is described. According to one embodiment, antennas are formed on the top layers of the substrate. A monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) and a ball grid array (BGA) are attached to the bottom side of the substrate.
A method for solving or alleviating most of the above problems is to use a double-sided package in which the antennas are located at the top and the ICs are located at the bottom of the package substrate. Accordingly, a mechanism for implementing a dual-side packaging that enables higher-level integration of millimeter-wave functionalities with proper performance is described.
In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth. However, it will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments of the present invention can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures, devices, and techniques are not described in detail in order not to obscure the understanding of the present invention. Therefore, the detailed description is to be considered as illustrative rather than restrictive.

The appearances of the phrase "in one embodiment" in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment.

In other embodiments, similar vertical interconnections are used in the antenna-feed network of the supply means, where the millimeter wave signals must be routed from the middle layers to the top layers.
