倒装芯片电路
技术领域
本公开涉及倒装芯片电路,并且具体地说,虽然不是必须的,涉及包括至少一个功率放大器的倒装芯片电路。
背景技术
根据无线基础设施的发展趋势,网络朝更异构的方向发展以满足高数据速率服务的全球需求。部署小型蜂窝基站以通过更密集网格上增加的频谱的再使用来增强网络容量。这使每个小型蜂窝基站功率放大器的功率电平进入具有多达约4W的峰值功率电平的硅锗(SiGe)和砷化镓(GaAs)半导体装置域中。可替换地是,可有利的是,利用组合的双极结型晶体管和互补金属氧化物半导体晶体管(BiCMOS)工艺的集成能力。与GaAs或SiGe装置相比,BiCMOS装置可提供优良的性能。本公开的倒装芯片电路可包括呈BiCMOS集成电路的形式的功率放大器。
GaAs管芯可包括集成射频(RF)功率晶体管。管芯可引线键合到引脚框架或层压体。由于引线键合本身可能不能提供良好的电和热路径,所以GaAs管芯可具有晶片通孔(TWV),以向封装管芯垫提供合适的导电和导热路径。尝试以如SiGe的更便宜的硅技术实施小型蜂窝基站功率放大器可使用相同的构造:引线键合和包括硅通孔(TSV)的硅技术,以提供良好的电和热路径。
然而,可有利的是,在无TSV的情况下以硅技术实施小型蜂窝功率放大器,因为这可更节省成本。为了具有高导电和导热路径,可使用倒装芯片封装技术。倒装芯片构造可以可提供超出引线键合的构造的基本限制的热和/或电性能优点的方式,用于功率晶体管的物理设计。
引线键合的功率放大器产品可具有与垫相邻且与衬底通孔相邻的输出晶体管。这可能不会产生最短的电或热路径。输出晶体管不能在垫下面,这是由于机械风险:相当大的力用于将引线键合到键合垫上,这可损坏被定位在键合垫下面的任何输出晶体管。不可能将输出晶体管定位在TSV下面,因为TSV为从金属叠层到衬底/晶片的底部的连接。结果,在TSV“下面”不存在可容纳输出晶体管的区域。在此类装置中的电热路径将主要穿过TSV一直到可安装在接地面上的集成电路的底部。接地面另外连接到封装的暴露的管芯垫。
然而,如下文所论述,倒装芯片功率放大器装置可具有部分或完全在凸块垫下面的它们的输出晶体管;凸块垫与用于键合的功率放大器产品的键合垫不同。在不使用机械力的情况下,例如通过焊接或沉积铜柱,提供凸块垫到封装(例如,引线框架或层压体)的连接。如将在下文论述,这可有利地实现将晶体管放置在凸块垫下面,从而晶体管在制造过程期间被损坏的可能性降低。
倒装芯片提供将半导体装置(例如,集成电路)连接到外部电路系统的便捷方式。经由导电体提供半导体装置与外部电路系统之间的电连接,导电体可被称为凸块,导电体被放置在倒装芯片的表面上。凸块可由焊料或其它金属、焊料组分与其它金属组分的组合或甚至由非金属导电材料制成。

上文的论述不旨在表示在当前或将来权利要求集的范围内的每个例子实施例或每个实施方案。图和以下详细描述也举例说明了各种例子实施例。结合附图考虑以下详细描述可更全面地理解各种例子实施例。
附图说明
现在将参考附图仅以例子的方式描述一个或多个实施例,在附图中:
图1a和图1b示出在横截面视图和平面视图两者中的倒装芯片电路的一部分的例子实施例;
图2示出在平面视图中具有功率放大器的一部分的倒装芯片电路的一部分的例子实施例;
图3示出用于本公开的倒装芯片电路的金属层叠层的例子实施例;
图4示出适用于集成到本公开的倒装芯片电路中的分布式温度传感器的例子实施例;以及
图5示出在横截面中示出的具有整体形成的多个导电凸块的倒装芯片电路的一部分的例子实施例。
具体实施方式
图1a示出倒装芯片电路的一部分的横截面侧视图110,并且图1b示出对应的平面视图100。平面视图100的特征对应于在平面视图100垂直上方的横截面侧视图110的特征,如在图1a和图1b中所绘制。
倒装芯片电路具有半导体衬底120,在此例子中,半导体衬底120由硅制成。第一功率放大器122被设置在半导体衬底120上。第一金属垫124被设置成收容用于将倒装芯片连接到外部电路系统(未示出)的第一导电凸块。如下文将论述,第一功率放大器122可包括一个或多个功率晶体管,所述一个或多个功率晶体管一起可被称为功率单元。
在图1a和图1b中示出的例子中,第一金属垫124为顶层金属130的一部分,顶层金属130将具有有限厚度。在此例子中,第一金属垫124被限定为顶层金属130的表面,顶层金属130的表面以电气方式暴露,使得顶部金属130的表面可电耦合到铜柱126。
在图1的例子中,第一导电凸块包括电耦合到第一金属垫124的铜柱126。铜柱126为远离第一金属垫124和半导体衬底120延伸的导电柱的例子。铜柱126可通过如下方式来扩增:在铜柱126的顶面128上添加一定量的焊料(未示出),以提供第一导电凸块。焊料可使得能够在铜柱126与外部电路系统之间进行良好的电连接。在其它例子中,铜柱126可由一种或多种合适的金属(例如金、银或铝等等)制成的金属柱代替。
第一功率放大器122的一部分直接定位在第一金属垫124与半导体衬底120之间。直接定位在第一金属垫124与硅衬底120之间意味着在第一金属垫124的一部分与硅衬底120的一部分之间的最短路径与第一功率放大器122的至少一部分的位置相交。例如,如图1a的横截面视图110中所示的,在到达硅衬底120之前,从第一金属垫124的右手侧绘制的垂直线将与第一功率放大器122的左手侧相交。相等地,如图1b的平面视图100中所示的,第一功率放大器122可被称作至少部分地被定位在第一金属垫124的覆盖区域内,其中当从上面观看时,覆盖区域为由第一金属垫124的周界限定的空间的包络。
应了解,当第一功率放大器122可操作时,第一功率放大器122将耗散热量。定位第一功率放大器122,使得第一功率放大器122在第一金属垫124的正下方可有利地实现通过第一金属垫124、通过铜柱126远离第一功率放大器122且最终自倒装芯片离开且进入外部电路系统中的高效热传导。具体地说,如下文将论述,热量可远离第一功率放大器122,通过金属叠层140传导到第一金属垫124。
通常,顶层金属130的一些区域将在距硅衬底120更远的顶层金属130的表面上涂覆有绝缘层(未示出)。此类绝缘层可具有孔,第一金属垫124通过孔耦合到第一导电凸块。在此例子中,第一导电凸块的铜柱126横跨第一金属垫124的整个表面延伸。然而,应了解,在其它例子(未示出)中,金属柱可另外横跨绝缘层的至少一部分延伸,和/或可仅横跨第一金属垫124的一部分延伸。
图1a和图1b电示出被定位在第一金属垫124与半导体衬底120之间的金属叠层140。在此例子中,金属叠层140并没有直接定位在第一功率放大器122与第一金属垫124之间,而替代地,当从上面观看时,在与第一功率放大器没有重叠的情况下,与第一功率放大器122相邻定位金属叠层140,如图1b中所示的。在此例子中,金属叠层140并没有被布置成电耦合到第一功率放大器122。应了解,金属层(未示出)也可定位在第一功率放大器122的顶部上,以便提供与第一功率放大器122的电连接。
将在下文关于图3更详细地论述的金属叠层140包含多个金属层。由于金属层由具有高热传导性和足够面积的材料制成,所以金属叠层140在第一功率放大器122与第一金属垫124之间提供热桥。一般,热桥是提供具有高热传导性的通路的任何组件或组件集,高热传导性实现横跨热桥的高效热传导。因而,当在操作时,金属叠层140有利地改善远离第一功率放大器122到外部电路系统的所耗散的热量的热传导。在其它例子中,金属叠层140也可用于提供第一功率放大器122与第一金属垫124之间的电连接。
图1a和图1b也示出远离第一功率放大器122,设置在半导体衬底120上的第二功率放大器152;第一功率放大器122和第二功率放大器152位于半导体衬底120的不同部分上。第二金属垫154被设置成收容用于将倒装芯片连接到外部电路系统的第二导电凸块。正如上文所述的第一导电凸块,第二导电凸块具有第二铜柱156,第二铜柱156也可用一定量的焊料(未示出)扩增。
第二功率放大器152的一部分直接定位在第二金属垫154与半导体衬底120之间。当在操作时,此布置可改善远离第二功率放大器152的所耗散的热量的热传导。在此例子中,第一功率放大器122的一部分也直接定位在第二金属垫154与半导体衬底120之间。因而,当在使用中时,第二金属垫154也可有利地改善由第一功率放大器122所耗散的热量的热传导。也可通过直接定位在半导体衬底120与第二金属垫154之间的第二金属叠层160改善此类热传导。
应了解,多个功率放大器可横跨半导体衬底分布,并且可使用对应的多个金属垫和导电凸块。如图1a和图1b中所示的,多个功率放大器中的两个或更多功率放大器的至少一部分可直接定位在金属垫与半导体衬底之间。再者,单个功率放大器的至少一部分可直接定位在多个金属垫中的两个或更多金属垫与半导体衬底之间。以此方式,当可操作时,由功率放大器中的任一个功率放大器耗散的热量可有利地通过导电凸块传导到外部电路系统。
在一些例子中,第一功率放大器122可经由金属叠层140电耦合到铜柱126,以例如经由铜柱126向外部电路系统提供电输出。通过提供用于第一功率放大器122的放大输出的更短通路,可通过避免或减少一些耗散损耗,提高功率效率。然而,甚至在第一功率放大器122没有电耦合到铜柱126的情况下,因为例如第一功率放大器122耦合到远程金属垫或另一个内部组件,所以仍然将由本文中所公开的倒装芯片电路提供上文所论述的热优点。在一些应用中,一个或多个功率放大器可电连接到铜柱126用于一个或多个功率放大器的接地端。
图2示出主功率放大器200的平面视图,主功率放大器200可为设置于倒装芯片电路中的多尔蒂放大器的一部分。主功率放大器200具有第一功率放大器222、第二功率放大器252、第三功率放大器262和第四功率放大器272。这四个功率放大器中的每个功率放大器在一起使用以提供主功率放大器200的功能。由于总共存在四个功率放大器,所以第一功率放大器222或其它功率放大器中的任一个功率放大器可被描述为主功率放大器200的四分之一。
使主功率放大器的功能分布在四个功率放大器222、功率放大器252、功率放大器262、功率放大器272之间可允许分散所耗散的热量,这有利地减少在主功率放大器200内形成热点的可能性。
多个功率放大器222、功率放大器252、功率放大器262、功率放大器272(功率单元)的使用也可使得功率放大器222、功率放大器252、功率放大器262、功率放大器272中的晶体管装置能够有更平衡的连接,具有相等的电路径,功率放大器222、功率放大器252、功率放大器262、功率放大器272中的晶体管装置可彼此并联。这是因为功率放大器222、功率放大器252、功率放大器262、功率放大器272中的晶体管装置可电耦合到距它们的相应功率单元相同距离的相应电耦合的凸块。再者,以此方式使用多个功率放大器可通过避免或减少过热的可能性且也通过减少不同功率放大器之间的温度差以维持较低绝对温度且也维持较低温度梯度,提供倒装芯片的安全和稳定操作。
在图2中示出五个金属叠层240、282、284、286、288。每个功率放大器222、功率放大器252、功率放大器262、功率放大器272被定位在两个金属叠层240、282、284、286、288之间,使得两个金属叠层可用于传导热量使之远离每个功率放大器。在图2中示出五个专用热凸块垫226、256、274、276、278,所述热凸块垫为金属垫的例子。五个热凸块垫中的每个热凸块垫定位在金属叠层的正上方,并且也定位在功率放大器中的一个或两个功率放大器的正上方。以此方式,热凸块垫可用于通过相应金属叠层传递热量使之远离一个或两个相关联的功率放大器。
在此例子中,第一功率放大器222被夹在第一专用热凸块垫226与第二专用热凸块垫256之间。如果为了热而非电的目的,提供第一金属垫226和第二金属垫256,那么第一金属垫226和第二金属垫256可被描述为专用热凸块垫。
金属叠层240、金属叠层282、金属叠层284、金属叠层286、金属叠层288可被优化,使得可在半导体衬底202中提供浅沟槽隔离(STI)开口。也就是说,STI开口可在半导体衬底202中设置于金属叠层下面,因为半导体衬底202的所述区域并未用作提供功率放大器的功能的有源区域。金属叠层240、金属叠层282、金属叠层284、金属叠层286、金属叠层288被设置在功率放大器222、功率放大器252、功率放大器262、功率放大器272的侧面以及在功率放大器222、功率放大器252、功率放大器262、功率放大器272之间,以增加到达热凸块垫的热流。
在此例子中,金属垫的横截面为八边形的,然而,应了解,也可采用任何其它规则的或不规则的形状。
在此例子中,功率放大器222中的每个功率放大器222具有相关联的偏置电路290、偏置电路292、偏置电路295、偏置电路297。偏置电路290、偏置电路292、偏置电路295、偏置电路297可被配置成彼此独立地向它们的相应功率放大器提供偏置电压或偏置电流。这可被称为分布式偏置,因为每个功率放大器可具有其自己的偏置电路。偏置电压的独立控制可实现主功率放大器200的更高效操作,因为可基于与每个功率放大器分别相关的操作参数(例如功率输出或温度),设定偏置电压。再者,分布式偏置可通过避免或减少过热或热点产生的可能性,提供倒装芯片的安全和稳定操作。可选地,偏置电路可各自具有镜像晶体管,镜像晶体管有利地热耦合到相关联的功率放大器中的功率晶体管。
可选地,发射极退化电阻器可被添加到电路,以帮助使晶体管稳定。如果与晶体管中的任一个晶体管的近邻相比,晶体管中的任一个晶体管传导更多一些的电流(例如,由于自热或温度梯度),那么更高电流将横跨发射极退化电阻器产生电压降,使得晶体管将经受更低的电压,并且因而将减少通过晶体管传导的电流。此类电阻器用于通过提供负反馈回路,防止晶体管经历“失控”热效应。
可紧密邻近发射极指状件定位发射极退化电阻器。可为每个发射极指状件提供一个电阻器,或每组指状件提供一个电阻器(例如,为一组3个发射极指状件提供一个电阻器)。发射极退化电阻器可为购自BiCMOS库的标准电阻器(例如,多晶硅电阻器)。
图2的例子也包括分布式温度传感器。在此例子中,温度传感器包括四个温度敏感组件294、296、298、299,每个温度敏感组件与功率放大器222、功率放大器252、功率放大器262、功率放大器272中的一个功率放大器相关联。可接近主功率放大器的主输出晶体管设置温度敏感组件,因为这些晶体管可能为集成电路的最热部分。在图2的例子中,主放大器被分成用于功率分布的四个区段,并且因此输出晶体管也被分成用于功率分布的四个区段。因而,在此例子中,温度传感器也通过将四个温度敏感组件294、296、298、299中的每个温度敏感组件与主功率放大器的四个功率放大器中的一个功率放大器相关联,横跨这四个区段进行分布。以此方式分布温度传感器的优点在于维持了每个区段的匹配的布局(在相等性方面)。
现将参考图4描述温度传感器的例子实施方案的另外的细节。
图4示出可被设置为如本文中所公开的倒装芯片电路的整体部分的温度传感器400的电路图。温度传感器400具有多个温度敏感组件,在此例子中,温度敏感组件包括第一NPN晶体管410a、第二NPN晶体管410b、第三NPN晶体管410c和第四NPN晶体管410d。如图2所示的,这些温度敏感组件中的每个温度敏感组件可与独立功率单元/放大器相关联。
在一些应用中,当与PNP晶体管比较时,将NPN晶体管用作温度敏感组件可能是有利的,因为NPN晶体管可具有好得多的衬底隔离。可靠近功率放大器功率晶体管设置这些温度传感器NPN晶体管410a到410d,以提供与功率晶体管的良好的热耦合。
在此例子中,NPN晶体管410a到410d被串联连接,用于增加温度敏感性。结果,NPN晶体管410a到410d的多个接合部中的每个接合部的独立温度依赖性(例如,用于硅的4×2mV/dC)在传感器中将是可用的。这可提高传感器对于外部影响(如偏移量和测量误差)的鲁棒性。再者,NPN晶体管410a到410d连接在一起,使得温度传感器提供平均温度信号,所述平均温度信号表示温度敏感组件的平均温度。结果,温度传感器由串联的四个二极管连接的晶体管410a到410d构成,使得可邻近输出晶体管的每个分布式区段定位一个晶体管。有利地,温度传感器回路的接地回线可被定位在连接轨道下面,以便避免或减少在温度传感器回路中RF信号的耦合。以此方式,接地回线可为自屏蔽的。
应了解,可使用任何其它类型的温度敏感组件来代替NPN晶体管,以提供表示功率放大器的组件部分的温度的温度信号。
返回到图2,功率放大器222、功率放大器252、功率放大器262、功率放大器272中的每个功率放大器也可耦合到相关联的控制器(未示出)。控制器可从相关联的温度敏感组件294、温度敏感组件296、温度敏感组件298、温度敏感组件299接收温度信令。基于从温度信令确定的相关联的功率放大器222、功率放大器252、功率放大器262、功率放大器272的温度,控制器可向相关联的功率放大器提供控制信号,以修改放大器的性能。例如,控制信号可基于所检测的温度,改变由相关联的偏置电路290提供的偏置电压,或改变提供到放大器的输入功率。在主功率放大器200为多尔蒂放大器的一部分的例子中,多尔蒂放大器也包括峰值放大器(如本领域的技术人员所熟知的),控制信号可改变峰值放大器与主放大器一起开始传送功率的接管点。例如,此接管点可通过C类峰值放大器中的偏移阈值来确定。
在一些例子中,来自温度敏感组件294、温度敏感组件296中的每个温度敏感组件的信令可组合以提供平均温度信号。在此类例子中,功率放大器222、功率放大器252、功率放大器262、功率放大器272中的每个功率放大器可以彼此相同的方式进行控制。这可使得能够仅使用单个控制器,这可使得电路更高效。缺少对每个单独功率放大器的独立控制可能不成问题,因为放大器足够靠近在一起以处于大约相同的温度下。
功率放大器222、功率放大器252、功率放大器262、功率放大器272中的每个功率放大器可包括横跨半导体衬底202分布的多个功率晶体管。由于功率放大器(例如第一功率放大器222)的功率晶体管可能耗散最大的热量,所以功率晶体管中的一个或多个功率晶体管的至少一部分可直接定位在相关联的金属垫226、金属垫256、金属垫274、金属垫276、金属垫278和半导体衬底之间。例如,如图2所示,功率放大器的功率晶体管中的一个或多个功率晶体管的有源区域可被安置在金属垫下面。以此方式,耗散的热量可通过金属垫有效传导到导电凸块中,并且传导到外部电路中。
本文中所公开的输出晶体管(在功率放大器222、功率放大器252、功率放大器262、功率放大器272中)、偏置电路系统290、偏置电路系统292、偏置电路系统295、偏置电路系统297以及温度敏感组件294、温度敏感组件296、温度敏感组件298、温度敏感组件299的物理设计可解决以下成问题的题目中的一个或多个题目:(i)热不稳定性,(ii)高结温度,由于本文中所公开的倒装芯片电路提供优良的冷却性能,所以高结温度可导致可靠性/寿命减少,以及(iii)接地不稳定性。接地不稳定性可由于集成电路上的组件的接地连接中的太多电感或过于多变的电感水平。适当定位的导电凸块的使用也可提供用于设置在集成电路上的组件的实心接地连接。
图3示出上文关于图1所描述的类型的金属叠层300的例子。金属叠层300具有多个金属层310a、金属层310b、金属层310c、金属层310d,所述多个金属层310a、金属层310b、金属层310c、金属层310d可由铝、铜或任何其它合适的金属制成。第一金属层310a通过多个通孔320连接到第二金属层310b,同时其余层310c、层310d以类似方式彼此连接。第一金属层310a连接到半导体衬底330。氧化物绝缘体332被设置在半导体衬底330的任一端处。在此例子中,第四金属层310d连接到顶部金属层340,顶部金属层340可由铝、铜或任何其它合适的金属制成。通过氮化物绝缘体层342涂覆顶部金属层340。氮化物绝缘体层342的一部分已被移除以产生孔350,使得通过孔350暴露的顶部金属层340的表面限定金属垫360。如上文所论述,导电凸块(未示出)可电耦合到金属垫360。
由于金属叠层300的每个层连接到金属叠层300的每个其它层,并且连接到半导体衬底330和顶部金属层340两者,所以金属叠层300可在衬底330与金属垫360之间提供高效热桥。此热桥可在设置在半导体衬底330上的功率放大器(未示出)与金属垫360之间提供高效热传输,且接着高效热传输到外部电路系统,如上所述。
如果金属叠层300也用作电连接器,那么金属叠层300可在衬底的有源层与金属垫360之间提供良好的电接触。
如上文所论述,当输出晶体管被部分放置在金属垫下面时,接着垫的其余部分可被实施为所谓的导热垫。导热垫可被视作有利地使用金属叠层一直到衬底(包括衬底接触)中的所有后端金属以制作低热阻路径的垫。通常,导热垫的金属叠层中的金属的量可增加直到特定技术设计规则将强加限制的限度。在倒装芯片系统中,电热路径可主要穿过凸块,并一直到接地面和/或封装的暴露的管芯垫。
图5示出与图1的倒装芯片电路相比倒装芯片电路510的可替换的结构。类似于图1a的特征的图5的特征已被给出类似附图标记,并且此处可不必另外论述。
倒装芯片电路510具有第一导电凸块528和第二导电凸块556。第一导电凸块528耦合到第一金属垫524,并且第二导电凸块556耦合到第二金属垫554。第一导电凸块528金属耦合到第二导电凸块556。在此例子中,第一导电凸块524和第二导电凸块556整体地形成为例如实心铜条570。更一般地说,多个导电凸块可连接在一起,可选地,作为单个导电凸块条。
导电凸块可连接到参考端,例如电接地端。此类凸块可称为接地凸块。单个导电凸块条可被称为不间断实心接地面,不间断实心接地面可横跨功率放大器522、功率放大器552定位。不间断实心接地面可被视作细长铜凸块的类型,可使用细长铜凸块的类型来代替个别圆柱形金属柱类型的凸块。
不间断实心接地面570的使用使得热量能够从第一功率放大器522传导到在第二金属垫554上面的第二导电凸块。以此方式,可从倒装芯片将废热更高效地移除到外部电路系统的多个部分。这可有利地减少在倒装芯片电路510内热点的形成,并且从而提高倒装芯片电路510的效率和寿命。
应了解,许多不同类型的功率放大器可被集成到本公开的倒装芯片电路中。例如,多尔蒂放大器为可提供的一种特定类型的功率放大器,多尔蒂放大器具有主级和峰级,主级具有主放大器,峰级具有峰值放大器。在此类例子中,主放大器和峰值放大器两者可包括本文中所公开的任何倒装芯片电路。
本公开的倒装芯片电路的重要应用为小型蜂窝基站功率放大器,但是如无线局域网(WLAN)的其它应用或蜂窝功率放大器应用也可为合适的。一般,任何无线通信基站可有利地包括本公开的倒装芯片电路。
