Abstract
A seal process step wherein a composite material is applied on an integrated circuit package which may include an integrated circuit that is mounted over another integrated circuit for two or more repeating layers and finally mounted to a substrate. The uniform seal created by the composite material form the mechanical bonding between two surfaces and may inhibit cracking of the integrated circuit (die) during thermo-mechanical loading. The distinctive features of these dies are that, each die has the connecting pads residing at the edge of the die. The introduction of Edge Bond Chip Connection is to make electrical connection at the sides of the dies connecting the pads at the edges.
Description
EDGE BOND CHIP CONNECTION (EBCC)
INTEGRATED CIRCUIT PACKAGE THAT USES ONE OR MORE SIDES OF
THE STACKED DIES FOR THE INTER-CONNECT
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1.0 FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an integrated circuit package.
2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Integrated circuits are typically assembled into packages that are electrically connected at one or more sides of the die shown in Figure 1 to be known as Edge Bond Chip Connection (EBCC).
The die to die surface attachment or die to substrate surface attachment are mechanically held using composite material which has a coefficient of thermal expansion that is different than the coefficient of the thermal expansion for the integrated circuit.
This bonding material is to provide the physical strength of holding both parts together to overcome any mechanical or thermal force induced and moisture stability of the Integrated Circuit Package. The thickness of this bonding material is kept to the minimum to reduce the gap between two surfaces.
It is desirable that the air voids are to be avoided as it weakens the structural integrity of the integrated circuit to integrate circuit/substrate interface.
All electrical bonding pads of the die reside at the edges of the die which are aligned to the adjacent die pads or substrate pads for the electrical connections.
It may not necessary that they are connected together in a straight line but so long as they are in pair, reference Figure 2.
These die can be stacked in two or more layers as per Figure 3 and because of the reduction in the gap between die to die or die to substrate and having all the connecting pads at the edges, the Integrated Package could stacked more dies in comparison to the same physical size of an IC using Wire Bonding or Flip Chip technology.
The EBCC technology could be a stand alone package or used in combination with existing Flip Chip Technology or Wire Bonding Technique.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
One embodiment of the present invention is an integrated circuit package which may include an integrated circuit that is mounted over another integrated circuit which could be in numerous layers and finally, mounted to a substrate.
The integrate circuit is mechanical bonded to another integrated circuit or substrate using composite material.
All the electrical connections are done at the sides of the integrated circuit.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Figure 1 is a view of an integrated circuit package of the prior art; Figure 2 is a view of the integrated circuit package that has the electrical connections on its sides and could be done in any format so long as they are paired to the adjacent;
Figure 3 is a view of an integrated circuit package with numerous layers of die stacked that embodied the present invention of the Edge Bond Chip Connection (EBCC).
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Referring to the drawings more particularly on Figure 3 and Figure 4, shows an embodiment of "EBCC" on an integrated circuit package. Reference to Figure 5 for Process Flow
Step 1 Composite material are first applied to the surface of the substrate.
Step 2 A die is vision aligned and placed over the composite material.
Step 3 Composite material are then applied over the die surface. Step 2 & 3 are repeated in accordance to the number of layers required. After which, it is sent for oven curing.
Step 4 The stacked dies are then electrical connected at the sides employing Edge Bond Chip Connection technique.
The connecting bumps materials could be Gold, Silver, Palladium, Solder, conductive epoxy and other conductive materials. The application of these materials not confining to these ranges could be from dispensing, plating, solder jetting, gold bumping, reflow, evaporation, electro less and others.
Size and shape of these connecting bumps can be in any form or dimensions.
Consequently, when these dies are stacked very closely, it can add more layers in comparison to convention die attached. In doing so, it increases the performances of the package as more layers added equate to increase capacity performance of the package.
In addition, with the prospect of thinning the wafer in general, it would further increase the performance capacity while maintaining the same physical size in comparison.
