绗缝封装
绗缝封装(Quilt Packaging,QP)是一种集成电路封装和芯片间互连的封装技术,利用从微芯片边缘水平延伸的“结节”结构来。 [1][2]QP使用集成电路侧面突出的导电结节提高速度、降低功耗,实现封装内或多芯片模块上的多个芯片连接在一起,电气和机械上坚固的芯片间互连。绗缝封装由电气工程教授加里·伯恩斯坦(Gary H. Bernstein)领导的圣母大学研究人员团队发明。[3]
绗缝封装结节使用标准后道半导体器件制造技术创建,作为微芯片的组成部分,将焊料电镀在结节顶部,使芯片间实现亚微米精度互连。[4]
因此,绗缝封装技术可以在平面、2.5D和3D配置中集成具有不同技术或基板材料的多个芯片。 [5]这些结核结构可以用作极宽带宽、低损耗的电气I/O,实现亚微米级的机械芯片间对齐,并提供小至5微米的芯片间隙。[6]QP可以在各种衬底中实现,包括硅、砷化镓、碳化硅、氮化镓等,制成的小型高产“芯粒”可以“绗缝”在一起,创建更大的多功能元芯片。 [7]
特点
[编辑]与一级晶片封装的间接连接相比,QP是一种直接的晶片间互连,即“超级连接”,通过绗缝封装连接在一起裸晶结节直接从芯片侧面延伸出来。使用适当的对准夹具,将芯片推在一起并粘合,形成信号路径,在芯片之间传输多达数千个高速信号。在QP 中,晶片透过从晶片边缘水平突出的金属结节来连接,以创建超级连接。接合可以通过超声波焊接、激光焊接或锡焊来实现。 结节的对准可以通过外部夹具来执行,或者通过自对准结节和芯片结构的其他方法来执行,从而减轻一些精度要求。 最终的绗缝可以安装在一个包中或安装在MCM上。 这种方法仍然允许使用传统的凸块键合和引线键合,并且实际上对于允许从外部系统到成品绗缝的通信是必要的。[8][9]
射频模拟性能
[编辑]已在具有同质和异质半导体材料组的绗缝芯片组上进行了QP互连的多次测量插入损耗。射频S参数测量范围为DC至220 MHz。介于硅和砷化镓之间,已证明从DC到100 GHz,QP互连小于0.1 dB的插入损耗,[2]且高达220 GHz下有小于0.8 dB的插入损耗。[10]
数字性能
[编辑]绗缝封装互连已实现12吉比特/秒(Gbps)的比特率吞吐量,且在10 μm结节和10 μm芯片边缘的间距无失真。 [11]
光学/光子学
[编辑]初步的光耦合损耗模拟和测量表明芯片间耦合损耗<6 dB间隙小于4 μm。当间隙接近零时,损耗迅速改善,这可以通过绗缝封装装配公差来实现。 [12] [13]
