Definitions
- the present invention relates to a housing arrangement of a semiconductor module, which comprises a printed circuit board, a semiconductor chip and an intermediate carrier layer for rewiring the wiring connections of the semiconductor chip to the printed circuit board, in which the carrier layer is contacted with the printed circuit board via soldering points and the soldering points from the semiconductor chip via a filler are mechanically decoupled.
- Integrated semiconductor circuits are used in different applications.
- a semiconductor chip is generally packaged in a housing and placed on a circuit board.
- a semiconductor component is arranged in a housing arrangement in accordance with a so-called FBGA housing arrangement (FBGA: Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array), which is based in particular on the so-called beam lead bonding technology.
- FBGA Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array
- This type of housing arrangement is characterized in particular by a special housing design with regard to the arrangement of the solder balls.
- a housing arrangement such as the FBGA housing arrangement, also referred to as an FBGA package, usually comprises a semiconductor chip with connections for electrical connection to connections on the printed circuit board, and a carrier layer, which functions as a type of rewiring level.
- the carrier layer is arranged between the semiconductor chip and the printed circuit board.
- the carrier layer as the rewiring level has electrically conductive connections to the connections of the semiconductor chip, these conductor tracks of the carrier layer in turn are connected to the circuit board via solder joints. Since the
- a filler also called an encapsulant or cushion material, is provided between the semiconductor chip and the carrier layer.
- heat sinks are heat sinks that are usually cooled externally and therefore assume a constant temperature. With the help of heat spreaders, for example, a larger area is created that better dissipates the heat to the outside via convection.
- the execution takes place, for example, by means of metal plates which are fastened to the housing or are introduced directly into the housing.
- the main heat path in the described type of housing arrangements for dissipating the power loss is the distance from the semiconductor chip via the filler material and the solder balls to the printed circuit board.
- the relatively poor thermal conductivity of the filling material or cushioning material limits the thermal resistance of the housing. If the housing has limited thermal conductivity, the dissipatable power loss is limited, which can also limit the performance of an integrated semiconductor circuit.
- the use of thermally conductive full material or cushion material makes it possible to improve the thermal conductivity of the main heat path. However, this method
- the object of the present invention is to provide an arrangement of a semiconductor device in the described housing arrangement, which has an improved conductivity of the dissipated power to be dissipated in a built-in semiconductor chip and in which the mechanical properties of the housing arrangement are retained.
- the arrangement has a semiconductor chip with wiring connections and a printed circuit board on which the semiconductor module is placed, and a carrier layer which is arranged between the semiconductor chip and the printed circuit board.
- the carrier layer serves for rewiring the wiring connections of the semiconductor chip to the printed circuit board and is connected to the printed circuit board via solder joints.
- a filler which serves for the mechanical decoupling of the semiconductor chip and the solder points, is arranged between the semiconductor chip and the carrier layer.
- a metal layer is applied to the carrier layer, which is coated with at least one of the solder places is connected.
- at least one shaped element made of heat-dissipating material is applied to the metal layer and connected to it in a heat-conducting manner.
- the conductivity of the heat dissipation of the housing arrangement to be dissipated is improved by the provision of the heat-conducting molded element.
- the previously used full material with the desired properties can be provided as the filler.
- the shaped element serves, for example, to reduce the distance between the carrier layer, also referred to as an interposer, and the semiconductor chip in places, and thus to bridge the relatively poor thermal conductivity of the full material.
- a further possible warm path which contributes to the dissipation of the power loss generated, can be created by a corresponding local arrangement of the molded element.
- the transported heat is transferred to the metal layer of the carrier layer and from there via the solder points into the metal surfaces of the printed circuit board. Accordingly, the heat-dissipating molded element has the function of a heat sink compared to the semiconductor chip. So that the mechanical properties of the housing arrangement are not influenced by the molded element, the molded element is not in direct contact with the semiconductor chip.
- the structure of the housing arrangement described is used in particular in FBGA housing arrangements.
- the shaped element is suitably arranged in such a way that it protrudes into the filler.
- the shaped element is preferably designed as a cylinder.
- a metal layer in the form of large interconnected metal surfaces is applied to the carrier layer.
- the thermal conductivity and its distribution is favored by applying several relatively small cylinders to the metal layer. Since metal has a good Wär ⁇ meleitschreib, the mold members are preferably formed of metal.
- the described structure of the metal layer and shaped elements can e.g. be produced by a mask etching process or by electroplating the shaped elements.
- the shaped elements or cylinders are embedded in the filling material before the semiconductor chip is assembled. In the assembled state, the shaped elements or cylinders protrude up to the chip surface, so that an improved heat path from the semiconductor chip through the shaped elements into the metal layer is created. From the metal layer, the heat is dissipated through electrically non-connected solder points or solder balls, also known as no-connects, via so-called thermal vias in the printed circuit board in metal tracks on the printed circuit board.
- thermal vias are, for example, metal-filled holes in the printed circuit board (circuit board), which are known using known methods, e.g. can be made by electroplating. If the shaped elements are arranged on the carrier layer in a corresponding number and corresponding surface area, a substantial improvement in the thermal resistance is achieved while the elastic or decoupling properties of the filling material are maintained.
- a further embodiment of the invention provides a molded element applied to the metal layer, which is on a side of the carrier layer facing the semiconductor chip and is arranged laterally of the semiconductor chip. A further heat path is thus opened to the side of the semiconductor chip, which overall increases the thermal conductivity of the FBGA housing arrangement.
- the mechanical stability of the housing arrangements described can be increased by a so-called support ring, i.e. a frame that surrounds the semiconductor chip.
- a so-called support ring i.e. a frame that surrounds the semiconductor chip.
- Such an application is useful, for example, for housing arrangements in which the solder joint array or the interposer protrudes beyond the chip area ("fan out").
- the arrangement of this frame according to the invention thus provides the function of a heat sink in addition to the mechanically stabilizing function.
- the frame is also electrically conductive and connected to ground potential, there are additional electrical improvements.
- the frame which has the shape of a ring antenna with respect to the housing, provides a general shielding of all electrical paths of the metal layer.
- the inductance of the ground connections connected to the frame is reduced, which above all reduces the noise as a result of rapid current changes (“delta-I noise”).
- delta-I noise the noise as a result of rapid current changes
- the capacity of the ground connections is increased, which leads to better high-frequency decoupling (“decoupimg”) of the voltage supply system.
- decoupimg high-frequency decoupling
- the inductance of further electrical connections for example of data lines or address lines, is also reduced by the additional ground reference that the frame represents.
- the frame is applied directly to the metal layer and covered with a thermally conductive attached the glue. If the metal layer is on a side of the carrier layer opposite the frame, the frame is applied to the metal layer by a recess in the carrier layer via a conductive adhesive layer and is connected to it in a heat-conducting manner. This connection can also be made via a so-called bond.
- an additional, electrically non-conductive, heat-conductive connection is arranged between the semiconductor chip and the shaped element in a development of the invention.
- This heat-conductive connection can be made, for example, using a heat-conducting paste.
- Semiconductor chip can be achieved by connecting wiring connections of the semiconductor chip to the metal layer of the interposer without an electrical function.
