It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present disclosure and features of the embodiments may be arbitrarily combined with each other.
In the field of semiconductor technology, the interior of a semiconductor product is typically formed by stacking a plurality of Die/dice (Die), and the Die package structure of different semiconductor products may be different, such as different stacking modes of Die in the semiconductor product. The package structure of a plurality of core grains in a semiconductor product is known, and the package structure has a certain reference value for the package design of the semiconductor product, and is beneficial to promoting the development progress.
However, after the semiconductor product is packaged, the stacking manner of the internal core particles is not directly known.
In the related art, it is desired to know the internal package structure of the packaged semiconductor product, and only the semiconductor product can be cut and disassembled, and the 3D X-ray test is used for observation, so that manpower and material resources are consumed, and the semiconductor product cannot be used after being cut, thereby increasing the research and development cost. Also, the stacking order of the core particles could not be observed by means of cutting and 3D X-ray testing.
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present disclosure provides a method for testing a semiconductor product, the method for testing a core package structure of the semiconductor product, the method for testing the semiconductor product comprising: transmitting a test signal to at least one signal path in the semiconductor product, each signal path connecting a plurality of die; receiving a test result fed back by the semiconductor product based on the test signal; and determining the core packaging structure of the semiconductor product according to a test result, wherein the test signal is a data pattern containing inter-code crosstalk, and the test result comprises the eye height and the eye width of a test eye pattern. In the method, the test signal containing inter-code crosstalk is sent to the signal channel of the semiconductor product, the test result of the semiconductor product based on the feedback of the test signal is received, the core particle packaging structure of the semiconductor product can be obtained through analyzing the eye height and the eye width of the test result, the semiconductor product is not required to be disassembled, the cost is saved, and the test method is simple and rapid and speeds up the research and development progress.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for testing a semiconductor product, which may be used to test the semiconductor product to obtain a core package structure inside the semiconductor product. In the present disclosure, a semiconductor product is taken as an example of a low power memory (Low Power Double Data Rate SDRAM, abbreviated as LPDDR), specifically, for example, a fourth generation low power dual rate memory (LPDDR 4/4X).
Referring to fig. 1, a method of testing a semiconductor product includes the steps of:
step S101, transmitting a test signal to at least one signal channel of the semiconductor product, wherein each signal channel is connected to a plurality of core particles.
Referring to fig. 4 and 8, the semiconductor product 100 includes a Substrate 10 (Substrate) and a plurality of core particles 211 (Die) disposed on the Substrate 10, and an adhesive layer (not shown in the drawings) is disposed between two adjacent core particles 211 stacked and between the Substrate 10 and the core particles 211 located on the Substrate 10. The substrate 10 serves as a package carrier for the semiconductor product 100, and the substrate 10 provides electrical connection, protection, support, heat dissipation, etc. for the core 211, and the semiconductor product has different signal channels 11 (e.g., a first signal channel 11a and a second signal channel 11 b).
For example, referring to fig. 2 and 4, a memory controller may be connected to at least one signal path 11 in the semiconductor product 100, and the memory controller may transmit a test signal to the semiconductor product 100 through a data bus, and the test signal may be transmitted to the core particle 211 inside the semiconductor product 100 through the signal path 11. Each signal path 11 connects two core particles 211, for example, a first signal path 11a connects two stacked core particles 211 located on the left side in fig. 4, and a second signal path 11b connects two stacked core particles 211 located on the right side in fig. 4.
Step S102, receiving a test result fed back by the semiconductor product based on the test signal.
In this step, referring to fig. 2 and 4, after the core particle 211 receives the test signal, it can generate a feedback signal based on the test signal, so as to generate a test result by receiving the feedback signal using a specific instrument (such as an oscilloscope) in response to a read/write command of the memory controller. With continued reference to fig. 2, an oscilloscope may be connected to the semiconductor product 100, and the oscilloscope may accumulate and superimpose the results of displaying the bits of the collected feedback signal in an afterglow manner, and generate a test eye pattern after superposition.
The test result may include an Eye Width (Eye Width) and an Eye Height (Eye Height) of the test Eye, and by testing the Eye Height and the Eye Width of the test Eye, the variation of inter-code crosstalk and noise in the feedback signal may be known, for example, the larger the Eye Height of the test Eye, the smaller the inter-code crosstalk. In some optional embodiments, the test result may further include any one or more of a cross-over ratio and a quality factor of the test eye pattern, which is not repeated in the present disclosure.
In the test process, a write-in instruction containing inter-code crosstalk can be selected as a test signal for testing, and compared with the test using a simple code pattern, the test eye pattern can reflect the authenticity of a feedback signal more, so that the accuracy and the reliability of the test are improved. In one example, for example, '00101011' including inter-symbol interference and having a complex pattern may be selected as the test signal, '00101011', that is, 0x2B.
Step S103, determining the core particle packaging structure of the semiconductor product according to the test result.
It should be noted that, referring to fig. 4, if the package structure of the core of the semiconductor product 100 is different, inter-code crosstalk and noise existing between the cores 211 on different signal channels are also different, and the package mode of the semiconductor product 100 has a corresponding relationship with the generated inter-code crosstalk and noise. Therefore, the test result is analyzed to obtain the conditions of inter-code crosstalk and noise, and the core package structure can be obtained by back-pushing, so that the core package structure of the semiconductor product 100 can be obtained without disassembling the semiconductor product 100.
In an alternative embodiment, the correspondence of the die package structure to the test results may be obtained in the following manner. Referring to fig. 2, a semiconductor product 100 of a known package structure may be tested, a test result of the semiconductor product 100 based on feedback of a test signal may be received using an oscilloscope, and a table of correspondence between the test result and the die package structure may be recorded. After the corresponding relation between various test results and the core particle packaging structure is determined, in the process of testing the semiconductor product with unknown packaging structure to determine the packaging structure of the semiconductor product, the core particle packaging structure of the semiconductor product can be obtained only by finding the core particle packaging structure corresponding to the test results in the corresponding relation table.
In the embodiment of the disclosure, the test signal containing inter-code crosstalk is sent to the signal channel of the semiconductor product, the test result of the semiconductor product based on the feedback of the test signal is received, the core particle packaging structure in the semiconductor product can be obtained without disassembling the semiconductor product by analyzing the eye height and the eye width of the test result, the cost is saved, and the test method is simple and quick, and the research and development progress is accelerated.
In one exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for testing a semiconductor product to determine a die package structure of the semiconductor product from test results of a plurality of signal channels. The method for testing a semiconductor product may include the steps of:
step S201, sending a test signal to a plurality of signal channels in the semiconductor product, wherein each signal channel is connected to a plurality of core particles.
The implementation principle of this step is the same as that of step S101 in the foregoing embodiment, and will not be described here again.
Step S202, receiving a test result fed back by the semiconductor product based on the test signal.
The implementation principle of this step is the same as that of step S102 in the foregoing embodiment, and will not be described here again.
Step S203, determining a stacking mode of the plurality of core particle groups according to the advantages and disadvantages of the test results of the plurality of signal channels.
In this step, referring to fig. 3 to 5, and taking the semiconductor product 100 as LPDDR4 as an example, in conjunction with fig. 14, there are two signal channels 11 in LPDDR4, where the two signal channels 11 are a first signal Channel 11a (Channel a, abbreviated as CHA) and a second signal Channel 11B (Channel B, abbreviated as CHB), and each signal Channel 11 has an independent Data signal (Data-Quality, abbreviated as DQ), a Chip Select signal (CS), a Clock Enable signal (Clock Enable, abbreviated as CKE), and the like, that is, the different signal channels 11 are independent of each other. Each signal path 11 is connected to a plurality of core particles 211 at the same time, and a plurality of core particles 211 connected to the same signal path 11 can form one core particle group 20.
Wherein, referring to fig. 14, each signal path 11 (referring to fig. 4) of the lpddr4 includes 16 data signal pins of DQ0, DQ1, DQ2 … DQ13, DQ14, DQ15, wherein the first signal path 11a includes 16 data signal pins of dq0_ A, DQ1_a … dq15_a, and the second signal path 11B includes 16 data signal pins of dq0_ B, DQ1_b … dq15_b. In the test process, an oscilloscope may be used to test 16 data signals in total of dq0_a-dq15_a in the first signal channel 11a to obtain 16 test eye patterns, average the eye heights of the 16 test eye patterns, and average the eye widths, where the calculated average eye height and average eye width are used as the test result of the first signal channel 11a (the average eye height is used as the eye height of the test eye pattern, and the average eye width is used as the eye width of the test eye pattern). Similarly, the test result of the second signal channel 11b may be obtained in the foregoing manner, which is not described herein.
After the test results (the average value of the eye widths and the average value of the eye heights of the test eye patterns) of the two signal channels are obtained, the eye heights and the eye widths of the two test eye patterns can be compared, and the advantages and disadvantages of the test results of the two signal channels are determined through the difference value of the average value of the eye widths and the difference value of the average value of the eye heights of the two test eye patterns, so that the stacking mode of the two core particle groups is determined according to the advantages and disadvantages of the test results.
After step S203, the semiconductor product testing method includes the following steps:
step S204, if the difference value of the test results of any two signal channels in the plurality of signal channels is within a first preset range, it is determined that the plurality of core particle groups are arranged along the horizontal direction, and the plurality of core particles in each core particle group are stacked.
Referring to fig. 4, there is shown a stacking manner of two core particle groups 20, a first core particle group 20a is connected to a first signal path 11a, a second core particle group 20b is connected to a second signal path 11b, the first core particle group 20a and the second core particle group 20b are arranged in a horizontal direction (x direction shown in fig. 4), and a plurality of core particles 211 within each core particle group 20 are stacked.
It will be appreciated that in the stacked manner shown in fig. 4, the length of the signal line 30 connecting the first signal channels 11a of the first core particle group 20a is the same as the length of the signal line connecting the second signal channels 11b of the second core particle group 20b, so that the signal quality of the first signal channels 11a and the second signal channels 11b is the same, i.e., the eye widths and the eye heights of the test eye patterns of the two signal channels 11 are the same.
Accordingly, when the difference in eye height of the test eye pattern of the two core particle groups 20 and the difference in eye width of the test eye pattern of the two core particle groups 20 are within the first preset range, it can be determined that the two core particle groups 20 are stacked on the substrate 10 in the manner shown in fig. 4. The first preset range may be known by those skilled in the art through experiments, for example, the eye height difference between the two test eyes is 400mv, and the eye width difference is 230ps. And moreover, the first preset range can be adaptively adjusted according to the test precision requirement, and the smaller the first preset range is, the higher the test precision is.
Step S205, if the difference value of the test results of any two signal channels in the plurality of signal channels is not within the first preset range, determining that the plurality of core particles in the plurality of core particle groups are stacked together, and alternately arranging the plurality of core particles in different core particle groups along the stacking direction.
Referring to FIG. 5, another manner of stacking two sets of core particles 20 is shown. The two core particle groups 20 include a first core particle group 20a and a second core particle group 20b, all core particles 211 in the two core particle groups 20 are stacked together, that is, all core particles 211 are stacked in order, and the plurality of core particles 211 in the same core particle group 20 are not disposed adjacently, that is, the plurality of core particles 211 of the two core particle groups 20 are alternately arranged in the stacking direction (z direction shown in fig. 5) of the core particle groups 20.
It will be understood that in the stacking manner shown in fig. 5, the lengths of the signal lines 30 connecting the two signal channels 11 of the two core particle groups 20 are different, so that the signal quality of the two signal channels 11 is different, resulting in a large difference between the eye widths and the eye heights of the test eye patterns of the two signal channels 11 measured by the oscilloscope, that is, the difference between the eye widths and the eye heights of the test eye patterns of the two signal channels 11 is not within the first preset range.
This step is illustrated by way of example in the stacked configuration shown in fig. 5, which is not intended to limit the aspects of the present disclosure. The plurality of core particle groups may also be stacked as shown in fig. 6, as described in more detail below.
After step S205, that is, after determining that the two core particle groups are stacked in the manner shown in fig. 5 or 6, the method for testing a semiconductor product may further include the steps of:
step S206, determining the stacking sequence of the plurality of core particles in the plurality of core particle groups according to the advantages and disadvantages of the test results of the plurality of signal channels.
Referring to fig. 5 and 6, it can be determined that when all the core particles 211 in the first core particle group 20a and the second core particle group 20b are stacked together, the routing distance between the signal channels 11 connecting the two core particle groups 20 is different, so that there is a difference in signal quality of the two core particle groups 20. Wherein, the shorter the routing distance is, the better the signal quality is.
In one example, referring to fig. 5, the core connected to the first signal path 11a is located below the core connected to the second signal path 11b as a whole, so that the length of the signal line 30 of the first signal path 11a connecting the two cores 211 of the first core group 20a is shorter, so that the signal quality of the first core group 20a is better.
In another example, referring to fig. 6, the core connected to the second signal path 11b is below the core connected to the first signal path 11a as a whole, so that the length of the signal line 30 of the second signal path 11b connecting the two cores 211 of the second core group 20b is shorter, so that the signal quality of the second core group 20b is better.
In one exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, the disclosed embodiments provide a method for testing a semiconductor product to determine a die package structure from test results of different byte signals in the same signal path. The method for testing a semiconductor product may include the steps of:
step S301, a test signal is sent to a signal channel of the semiconductor product, where the signal channel is connected to a plurality of core particles.
This step is the same as the implementation of step S101 in the foregoing embodiment, and will not be described here again.
Step S302, receiving a test result fed back by the semiconductor product based on the test signal.
The implementation manner of this step is the same as that of step S102 in the foregoing embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
Step S303, determining the package structure of a plurality of core particles according to the test results of different byte signals in the same signal channel.
In this step, referring to fig. 8, 9 and 14, the semiconductor product 100 is exemplified as LPDDR4, and the first signal path 11a (CHA) of LPDDR4 is selected to have 16 bits of data, so that the first signal path 11a includes 16 data signal pins in total of dq0_ A, DQ1 _1_ A, DQ2_a … dq13_ A, DQ14_a and dq15_a.
Referring to fig. 8, 9 and 14, the dq0_a-dq7_a in the first signal path 11a forms a set of byte signals, also referred to as byte0, for transmitting the low-order signal "0" to the first core particle 211 a. The dq8_a-dq15_a in the first signal path 11a forms another set of byte signals, also referred to as byte1, for transmitting the high signal "1" to the second core 211 b. The test result of the byte0 byte signal can be obtained by averaging the eye heights of the test eye diagrams of the dq0_a-dq7_a total 8 data signals and averaging the eye widths, and the test result of the byte1 byte signal can be obtained by averaging the eye heights of the test eye diagrams of the dq8_a-dq15_a total 8 data signals and averaging the eye widths.
Referring to fig. 8 and 9, the first and second core grains 211a and 211b are connected to the first signal path 11a, the first signal path 11a connected to the first core grain 211a has the first data line 30a, and the first signal path 11a connected to the second core grain 211b has the second data line 30b. The different stacking arrangement order of the first core particle 211a and the second core particle 211b affects the length of the signal line 30 of the first signal path 11a, resulting in a difference in signal quality of the two core particles 211. Wherein the shorter the length of the signal line 30, the better the signal quality. Therefore, which core particle is located above and which core particle is located below can be determined according to the quality of the signal line 30 in the test result.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 8, the first core particle 211a is directly connected to the substrate 10, and the first data line 30a connected to the first core particle 211a is shorter than the second data line 30b connected to the second core particle 211 b. Since the shorter the signal line is, the better the signal quality is, when the signal quality of the first data line 30a is detected to be better than that of the second data line 30b, it is determined that the first core particle 211a is stacked under the second core particle 211 b.
In another embodiment, referring to fig. 9, the second core particle 211b is directly connected to the substrate 10, so that the second data line 30b connected to the second core particle 211b is shorter than the first data line 30a connected to the first core particle 211 a. Therefore, when it is detected that the signal quality of the second data line 30b is better than that of the first data line 30a, it is determined that the second core particle 211b is stacked under the first core particle 211 a.
The above-described method may be used to determine the stacking order of the core particles 211 connected to the second signal path 11b, which will not be described in detail herein.
In one exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 10, the disclosed embodiments provide a method for testing a semiconductor product to determine a die package structure from test results of different channel regions in the same signal channel. The method for testing a semiconductor product may include the steps of:
step S401, a test signal is sent to a signal channel of the semiconductor product, where the signal channel is connected to a plurality of core particles.
This step is the same as the implementation of step S101 in the foregoing embodiment, and will not be described here again.
Step S402, receiving a test result fed back by the semiconductor product based on the test signal.
The implementation manner of this step is the same as that of step S102 in the foregoing embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
Step S403, determining the topology type of the signal line of the semiconductor product according to the test results of different channel regions (rank) in the same signal channel (channel).
Referring to fig. 11 to 13, and in combination with fig. 2, a plurality of core particles connected to the same signal channel 11 form a plurality of channel regions 40 (rank), each channel region 40 being provided with a data signal line (DQ) and a Chip Select signal line (CS) for short. The chip select signal line is one of address buses (refer to fig. 2), and the plurality of chip select signal lines are connected with the plurality of channel areas 40 in a one-to-one correspondence manner, the memory controller can select the channel area 40 corresponding to the chip select signal line through the chip select signal line, and independently transmit data, address or command to the selected channel area 40, so that the selected channel area 40 can generate a feedback signal, and then an oscilloscope can be used to measure a test eye diagram of the selected channel area 40.
Referring to fig. 11 and 12 as an example, and referring to fig. 14, the first signal channel 11a includes two channel regions 40, the two channel regions 40 are a first channel region 41 (rank 0) and a second channel region 42 (rank 1), respectively, the signal line 30 includes a first signal line 31 and a second signal line 32, the first signal line 31 is correspondingly connected to the first channel region 41, the first signal line 31 includes dq0_a-dq15_a for 16 data signal lines and one chip selection signal line cs0_a, the second signal line 32 is correspondingly connected to the second channel region 42, and the second signal line 32 includes dq0_a-dq15_a for 16 data signal lines and one chip selection signal line cs1_a. Referring to fig. 11, taking the first signal channel 11a as an example, it may be determined that the memory controller may select the first channel region 41 of the first signal channel 11a through the chip select signal line cs0_a, and when the oscilloscope measures all the data signal pins (DQ [15:0] _a) in the first signal channel 11a, the test result is a test eye diagram of the core feedback signal in the first channel region 41. The memory controller can select the second channel region 42 of the first signal channel 11a through the chip selection signal line CS1_A, and when measuring all the data signal pins (DQ [15:0] _A) by using the oscilloscope, the test results are all test eye diagrams of the core particle feedback signals in the second channel region 42. Similarly, the memory controller may select different channel regions (first channel region 41 'and second channel region 42') of the second signal channel 11B through chip select signal lines cs0_b and cs1_b, and test the data signal pins DQ [15:0] _b, which are not repeated herein.
It should be noted that, referring to fig. 11 to 13, the eye heights of the test eye patterns of DQ0 through DQ15 in total 16 data signal lines in each channel region 40 may be averaged and the eye widths may be averaged to serve as the test results (the eye heights and the eye widths of the test eye patterns) of the channel regions 40, and by comparing the eye height average values of the test eye patterns of the first channel region 41 and the second channel region 42 and comparing the eye width average values, the signal quality of the two channel regions 40 may be determined, and thus the topology type of the signal lines between the two channel regions 40 and the signal channel 11 may be determined.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 11 and 12, taking the first signal channel 11a as an example, the first signal line 31 is connected to the first channel region 41, the second signal line 32 is connected to the second channel region 42, and the first signal line 31 is arranged in parallel with the second signal line 32, and the topology type of the signal lines is tree topology. With continued reference to fig. 11 and 12, the second signal line 32 is a signal branch (stub) for the first signal line 31, so that the second signal line 32 will reflect on the first signal line 31, resulting in a reduced signal quality of the first signal line 31. Moreover, the signal reflection has a large influence on the signal quality of the first signal line 31, so that the difference between the eye widths and the eye heights of the test eye patterns of the first signal line 31 and the second signal line 32 exceed the second preset range. It should be noted that the value of the second preset range may vary according to the specifications of the semiconductor product, and when the semiconductor product is LPDDR4, the difference between the second preset range and the eye width is 6ps, and the difference between the eye heights is 3mv.
From the above, it can be determined that the first signal line 31 and the second signal line 32 are tree-shaped topology when the difference of the test results of the first channel region 41 and the second channel region 42 exceeds the second preset range.
In another embodiment, referring to fig. 11 and 13, taking the second signal channel 11b as an example, wherein the third signal line 33 is connected to the first channel region 41', the fourth signal line 34 is connected to the second channel region 42', the third signal line 33 is arranged in series with the fourth signal line 34, and the topology type of the signal lines is a series topology. With continued reference to fig. 11 and 13, the third signal line 33 is connected in series with the fourth signal line 34, and the fourth signal line 34 does not reflect on the third signal line 33, so that the difference in eye width and the difference in eye height of the test eye pattern of the first and second channel regions 41 and 42 fall within the second preset range.
From the above, it can be determined that the signal line is in a serial topology when the difference of the test results of the first channel region 41 'and the second channel region 42' is within the second preset range.
