It should be appreciated that reference throughout this specification to "one embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Thus, the appearances of the phrase "in one embodiment" in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.
The chip design method of the embodiment of the invention can be used for determining the number of the through holes at the positions of the solder balls, thereby improving the phenomenon of uneven current of the solder balls at the positions near and far from the bare chip. The following describes in detail a chip design method, a chip, a motherboard and an electronic device provided by the invention by listing specific embodiments.
Example 1
As shown in fig. 1, a chip design method according to an embodiment of the present invention specifically includes:
step S101, dividing different parts in the packaging structure into corresponding circuit grid cells in a three-dimensional space, wherein each circuit grid cell corresponds to one equivalent resistor.
Referring to the simplified illustration of fig. 2, for a chip, the package structure 10 mainly includes a package substrate 101 and a die 102 fixed on the package substrate 101, where the die 102 is covered by a package housing 103. DIE 102, commonly known in the chip industry as DIE, are unpackaged dice that are small pieces of particles cut from a wafer with a laser, each DIE being an independent functional chip, also known as a DIE, etc.
After the die 102 is packaged by the BGA technology, a plurality of solder balls 104 are formed on the surface of the package substrate 101 facing away from the die 102, as shown in fig. 3, the solder balls 104 are distributed in the peripheral area of the die 102, it should be noted that, the solder balls 104 are located on the package substrate 101, for each solder ball 104, one or more via holes corresponding to the solder ball 104 are provided on the package substrate 101, the via hole corresponds to the location of each solder ball 104, and the via holes penetrate through the package substrate 101 to form a power network through each via hole, so as to transmit a power supply current, wherein the location of the solder ball 104 refers to the contact range of the solder ball and the package substrate 101.
It will be readily appreciated that the copper layer structure between any via and adjacent vias can be equivalent to individual resistors. Therefore, based on the physical position relation between different through holes and the physical position relation between the copper layer and the through holes, a corresponding circuit model can be constructed. The circuit model is a virtual circuit constructed based on the actual package structure 10, and can reflect the connection relation of the resistors corresponding to the physical structures of the via hole and the copper layer in the package structure 10.
Referring to the schematic diagram of fig. 3, before different portions in the package structure are divided into corresponding circuit grid cells in three-dimensional space, a three-dimensional space coordinate system is created, that is, an arbitrary position on a plane where the package substrate 101 is located may be taken as an origin of coordinates (for example, one corner portion of the package structure 10 is taken as an origin of coordinates in fig. 3), the package structure 10 is placed in the three-dimensional space coordinate system, so that the package substrate 101 is parallel to the XOY plane, and at this time, the Z direction is the thickness direction of the package structure 10. It is readily understood that in such a three-dimensional space coordinate system, the axis of the via is parallel to the Z-direction. Along the Z direction, each via hole has a resistance value,/>Wherein->For the resistivity of the via copper material, +.>S is the via depth, i.e., the dimension of the via in the Z direction, and s is the cross-sectional area of the via. The resistance between adjacent solder balls is +>,/>Wherein->Is the resistivity of the copper material in the horizontal direction, +.>Is two-weldedThe length of the copper material in the horizontal direction between the balls, W is the width of the copper layer between the two solder balls, and H is the thickness of the copper layer along the Z direction.
In the three-dimensional space coordinate system illustrated in fig. 3, the vias at different positions in the package structure 10 and the connection portions between the adjacent vias may be divided into corresponding circuit grid cells, each corresponding to an equivalent resistance.
Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 4, around the die 102, a portion of the solder balls 104 is closer to the die 102, such as the illustrated near solder balls 1041, and another portion of the solder balls 104 is farther from the die 102, such as the illustrated far solder balls 1042, and the circuit model also includes vias corresponding to the near solder balls 1041 and the far solder balls 1042. The near solder balls 1041 are the inner bump balls closer to the die 102, and the far solder balls 1042 are the outer bump balls farther from the die 102. The near-far relationship or the inner-outer relationship between the near solder ball 1041 and the far solder ball 1042 are both referred to the same portion of the die 102, the geometric center of the die 102, or the edges of the die 102.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, for any solder ball 104, it may correspond to a plurality of vias, and each via has the same shape and structural characteristics in the Z direction. Therefore, when the individual solder balls 104 are used for circuit grid division, one solder ball 104, that is, a plurality of vias disposed at the positions of the solder balls 104, may correspond to one circuit grid unit.
Illustratively, for a near solder ball 1041, there are a plurality of vias corresponding to a circuit grid cell, i.e., the grid cell corresponding to the near solder ball 1041, having a corresponding equivalent resistance. Similarly, for a remote solder ball 1042, there are also corresponding vias corresponding to another circuit grid cell, i.e. the grid cell corresponding to the remote solder ball 1042, having a corresponding another equivalent resistance.
It should be noted that, when the distances between the X-direction inner ring solder balls 1041 and the Y-direction inner ring solder balls 1041 of the package structure 10 and the die 102 are the same, and the distances between the X-direction outer ring solder balls 1042 and the Y-direction outer ring solder balls 1042 and the die 102 are the same, the package structure 10 is completely the same structure in the X-direction and the Y-direction, and the circuit grid units may be divided only in one two-dimensional plane of the XOZ plane and the YOZ plane, and then the calculation result may be multiplexed to the other two-dimensional plane.
When the distances between the X-direction inner ring solder balls 1041 and the Y-direction inner ring solder balls 1041 of the package structure 10 and the die 102 are different, or the distances between the X-direction outer ring solder balls 1042 and the Y-direction outer ring solder balls 1042 and the die 102 are different, the package structure 10 has a difference between the X-direction and the Y-direction, and the circuit grid units need to be divided in two-dimensional planes of the XOZ plane and the YOZ plane respectively to perform the calculation in different directions respectively. For example, in the X direction, the center distance between two solder balls isIn the Y direction, the center distance of the two solder balls is +.>In combination with the aforementioned->The calculation formula of (2) is easy to obtain: the resistance in the X direction between adjacent solder balls isThe resistance in the Y direction between adjacent solder balls is +.>
And step S102, determining the serial-parallel connection relation of the equivalent resistances to form a circuit model.
Specifically, in the circuit model established based on the actual package structure 10, the equivalent resistance corresponding to the inner ring solder ball 1041, the equivalent resistance corresponding to the outer ring solder ball 1042, and the equivalent resistance corresponding to the copper layer trace between the inner ring solder ball 1041 and the outer ring solder ball 1042 are included. In the circuit model corresponding to the package structure 10, the transmission and distribution of the supply current are realized through circuits formed by serial-parallel connection among the equivalent resistors. Therefore, the circuit model can be constructed and built by determining the serial-parallel connection relation of the equivalent resistances.
Step S103, when the transmission current of one inner ring solder ball and one outer ring solder ball surrounding the bare chip in the circuit model is the same, calculating the proportionality coefficient of the through hole resistance value corresponding to each inner ring solder ball and each outer ring solder ball in the circuit model.
With reference to fig. 2 to fig. 4, the scaling factor of the via resistance value corresponding to one inner ring solder ball 1041 and one outer ring solder ball 1042 can be calculated by configuring the circuit model to be the same in the transmission current flowing through the solder balls 104 at different positions, so as to realize the differential design of the via Kong Zu value corresponding to the solder balls 104 at different positions.
Step S104, determining the number of the through holes at the positions of the corresponding solder balls through the proportionality coefficient.
It should be noted that, for any solder ball 104, if there are M vias at the solder ball 104, and the resistance value of each via is R, then the equivalent resistance value at the solder ball 104Is the resistance value of M parallel via holes, < >>. In determining the resistance value of each via +.>In the process, the resistance calculation formula R=ρ can be combined based on the depth, the aperture and the conductivity parameters of the via structure>Wherein L can be the depth of the via hole, ρ is the resistivity of the via hole structure, s is the sectional area of the via hole, and the via hole can be any shape such as a round shape or a square shape. It will be appreciated that R herein is as defined above +.>The meaning is the same and can represent the resistance corresponding to a single via. Of course, when the resistance value R of each via hole is actually calculated, ρ, L and s required in the formula can be specifically determined according to different research theories, so as to obtain the more accurate resistance value R of the via hole by analysis and comparison.
Assuming that the number of the through holes corresponding to the adjacent inner ring solder balls 1041 is a preset known parameter, the equivalent resistance of the through holes corresponding to the inner ring solder balls 1041 can also be calculated, and according to the condition that the transmission currents of the inner ring solder balls 1041 and the outer ring solder balls 1042 flowing through the inner ring solder balls 1041 and the outer ring solder balls 1042 are the same, the equivalent resistance of the through holes corresponding to the outer ring solder balls 1042 can also be calculated after the proportionality coefficient of the equivalent resistance of the inner ring solder balls 1041 and the outer ring solder balls 1042 is obtained. The equivalent resistance corresponding to the solder balls 104 far from the die 102 can be obtainedBy using the above-mentioned calculation relation of equivalent resistance, the number of vias at the positions of the solder balls 104 far from the die 102 can be easily obtained, thereby providing a via design parameter basis for the packaging process.
In the embodiment of the invention, different parts of the packaging structure of the chip are divided into the corresponding circuit grid units, a circuit model is established according to the serial-parallel connection relation of the equivalent resistance corresponding to each circuit grid unit, and the proportionality coefficient of the via resistance values corresponding to the inner ring solder balls and the outer ring solder balls at different positions far and near the bare chip in the packaging structure can be obtained by calculation through the circuit model, so that the number of the via holes at the positions of the corresponding solder balls is calculated and determined, the reasonable distribution of the number of the via holes at different positions far and near the bare chip is realized, the phenomenon of unbalanced current of the solder balls at different positions far and near the bare chip is facilitated, and the working stability and reliability of the chip can be improved.
Example two
As shown in fig. 5, another chip design method according to an embodiment of the present invention specifically includes:
step S201, dividing different parts in the package structure into corresponding circuit grid cells in a three-dimensional space, where each circuit grid cell corresponds to an equivalent resistor.
The implementation of step S201 is similar to step S101 of the previous embodiment, and reference is made to the description of step S101.
It should be noted that, when the distances between the X-direction inner ring solder balls 1041 and the Y-direction inner ring solder balls 1041 of the package structure 10 and the die 102 are the same, and the distances between the X-direction outer ring solder balls 1042 and the Y-direction outer ring solder balls 1042 and the die 102 are the same, the package structure 10 is completely the same structure in the X-direction and the Y-direction, and the circuit grid units may be divided only in one two-dimensional plane of the XOZ plane and the YOZ plane, and then the calculation result may be multiplexed to the other two-dimensional plane.
When the distances between the X-direction inner ring solder balls 1041 and the Y-direction inner ring solder balls 1041 of the package structure 10 and the die 102 are different, or the distances between the X-direction outer ring solder balls 1042 and the Y-direction outer ring solder balls 1042 and the die 102 are different, the package structure 10 has a difference between the X-direction and the Y-direction, and the circuit grid units need to be divided in two-dimensional planes of the XOZ plane and the YOZ plane respectively to perform the calculation in different directions respectively. For example, in the X direction, the center distance between two solder balls isIn the Y direction, the center distance of the two solder balls is +.>In combination with the aforementioned->The calculation formula of (2) is easy to obtain: the resistance in the X direction between adjacent solder balls isThe resistance in the Y direction between adjacent solder balls is +.>
Illustratively, when the X-direction and Y-direction structures of the package structure 10 are the same, the foregoing circuit grid unit includes at least a first grid unit, a second grid unit and a third grid unit, where the first grid unit is a grid unit corresponding to a via hole where one inner ring of solder balls 1041 of the die of the package structure is located, the second grid unit is a grid unit corresponding to a via hole where one outer ring of solder balls 1042 is located adjacent to the inner ring of solder balls 1041, and the third grid unit is a grid unit between the inner ring of solder balls 1041 and the outer ring of solder balls 1042.
The inner ring of solder balls 1041 may be a circle of solder balls immediately surrounding the die 102 from inside to outside, and the outer ring of solder balls 1042 may be the remaining peripheral solder balls except for the inner ring of solder balls 1041. Of course, the inner ring of solder balls 1041 may be two or more rings of solder balls immediately surrounding the die 102 from inside to outside, and the outer ring of solder balls 1042 is the remaining peripheral solder balls. Referring to fig. 4, one solder ball 104 at the innermost ring is used as an inner ring solder ball 1041, and the other solder ball 104 adjacent thereto is used as an outer ring solder ball 1042.
One or more via structures at the positions of the inner ring solder balls 1041 correspond to the first grid unit, one or more via structures at the positions of the outer ring solder balls 1042 correspond to the second grid unit, and a copper layer connection structure between the inner ring solder balls 1041 and the outer ring solder balls 1042 corresponds to the third grid unit.
Step S202, determining a first resistance corresponding to the first grid cell, a second resistance corresponding to the second grid cell, and a third resistance corresponding to the third grid cell.
As illustrated in fig. 6, the first grid cell has a first resistance R 1 When the first grid unit corresponds to a plurality of through holes, R 1 I.e. the parallel resistance of a plurality of vias. The second grid cell has a second resistance R 2 When the second grid unit corresponds to the plurality of through holes, R 2 I.e. the parallel resistance of a plurality of vias. The third grid cell has a third resistance R 3 ,R 3 I.e. the lateral resistance between two adjacent solder balls.
Step S203, the second resistor R 2 And the third resistor R 3 Forming a first series branch connected in series with the first resistor R 1 The circuit model is formed in parallel.
As shown in FIG. 6, a first resistor R 1 One end of the resistor is connected to a power pin of the die 102, and the other end is connected to an inner ring solder ball 1041 on the surface of the package substrate 101. Second resistor R 2 Is a resistor far from the die 102, one end of which is connected with a third resistor R 3 After being connected in series to form a first series branch, the first series branch is connected with a power pin of the bare chip 102, and the other end of the first series branch is connected with an outer ring solder ball 1042 on the surface of the package substrate 101. Thus, for chips having the same package structure in the X-direction and the Y-direction, a circuit model of this kind as illustrated in fig. 6 can be built up.
Step S204, determining the first series branch and the first resistor R 1 A first relation when the resistances are the same.
In connection with the circuit model illustrated in fig. 6, it is easy to understand that, to ensure that the current flowing through the inner ring of solder balls 1041 and the outer ring of solder balls 1042 is the same, a first series branch and a first resistor R are designed 1 The resistance value of (C) is the same, namely R is required to be satisfied 1 =R 2 +R 3 Such a first relation.
Step S205, calculating a scaling factor of the first resistor and the second resistor according to the first relation.
Assuming that the number of through holes corresponding to the inner ring solder balls 1041 closer to the die 102 is m, and the number of through holes corresponding to the outer ring solder balls 1042 farther from the die 102 is n, R 1 =,R 2 =/>,R 3 By>And (5) calculating to obtain the product. Substituting the above parameters into R 1 =R 2 +R 3 In (1) can get->The ratio of the first resistor to the second resistor can be obtained.
In step S206, the number of vias at the positions of the corresponding solder balls is determined according to the scaling factor.
According to the above relationThe resulting scaling factor is jointly determined by m and n, where m and n are unknown parameters. When designing a chip, after the currents flowing through the inner ring solder balls 1041 and the outer ring solder balls 1042 are determined according to the application requirements, the first resistance and the second resistance of the corresponding positions can be determined, and the third resistance can be calculated and determined, so that the ratio of m to n is also a determined value. At this time, the number of vias corresponding to the solder balls at the other position can be obtained correspondingly by only determining the number of vias corresponding to the solder balls at any position of the inner ring solder balls 1041 and the outer ring solder balls 1042. Thus, according toOnly one of the parameters m and n needs to be determined according to the design requirement, and the other parameter can be determined accordingly.
The method for designing the through holes of the packaging structure can design reasonable through holes for chips with the same packaging structure in the X direction and the Y direction, and based on the calculated through holes, the chip products with more uniform and stable power supply current can be obtained by corresponding packaging.
Example III
As shown in fig. 7, another chip design method according to an embodiment of the present invention specifically includes:
step S301, dividing different parts in the package structure into corresponding circuit grid cells in a three-dimensional space, wherein each circuit grid cell corresponds to an equivalent resistor.

As shown in FIG. 8 or FIG. 9, along the X direction, a first resistor R 1 One end of the resistor is connected to a power pin of the die 102, and the other end is connected to an inner ring solder ball 1041 on the surface of the package substrate 101. Second resistor R 2 Is a resistor far from the die 102, one end of which is connected with a third resistor R 3 After being connected in series to form a first series branch, the first series branch is connected with a power pin of the bare chip 102, and the other end of the first series branch is connected with an outer ring solder ball 1042 on the surface of the package substrate 101.

When the inner ring solder balls 1041 at the same position are selected during the grid division, the first grid cell and the fourth grid cell are the same grid cell, and at this time, the first resistor R 1 And a fourth resistor R 4 Can be formed as a graph with the same resistance8. If two inner ring solder balls 1041 at different positions are selected, the first grid cell and the fourth grid cell are different grid cells, and at this time, the first resistor R 1 And a fourth resistor R 4 The circuit model shown in fig. 9 can be formed for different resistances.
In either fig. 8 or fig. 9, the second resistor R 2 And a third resistor R 3 A first series branch is formed by series connection, and the first series branch is connected with a first resistor R 1 And are connected in parallel.

In connection with the circuit model illustrated in fig. 8 or 9, it is easy to understand that, for the X-direction, if the current flowing through the inner ring of solder balls 1041 and the outer ring of solder balls 1042 is to be the same, the first series branch and the first resistor R should be designed 1 The resistance value of (C) is the same, namely R is required to be satisfied 1 = R 2 +R 3 Such a first relation. For the Y direction, to ensure the same current flowing through the inner ring solder balls 1041 and the outer ring solder balls 1042, the second series branch and the fourth resistor R should be designed 4 The resistance value of (C) is the same, namely R is required to be satisfied 4 =R 5 +R 6 Such a second relation.

Substituting the above parameters into R 1 =R 2 +R 3 In (1) can obtainObtaining the first resistor R 1 And a second resistor R 2 Is a ratio of (2).
Assuming that the number of vias corresponding to the inner ring solder balls 1041 closer to the die 102 in the Y direction is p, and the number of vias corresponding to the outer ring solder balls 1042 farther from the die 102 is q, R 4 =,R 5 =/>,R 6 By>And (5) calculating to obtain the product. Substituting the above parameters into R 4 =R 5 +R 6 In (1) can get->Obtaining the fourth resistor R 4 And a fifth resistor R 5 Is a ratio of (2).
Step S306, determining the number of the through holes at the positions of the corresponding solder balls according to the proportionality coefficient.
According to the above relationThe first resistance R 1 And a second resistor R 2 Is jointly determined by m and n, where m and n are unknown parameters. When designing a chip, after the current flowing through the inner ring solder balls 1041 and the outer ring solder balls 1042 along the X direction is determined according to the application requirement, the first resistor R at the corresponding position can be determined 1 And a second resistor R 2 And a third resistor R 3 The determination can be calculated and then the ratio of m and n is also the determined value. At this time, the number of vias corresponding to the solder balls at the other position can be obtained correspondingly by only determining the number of vias corresponding to the solder balls at any position in the inner ring solder ball 1041 and the outer ring solder ball 1042 in the X direction.
According to the above relationThe fourth resistance R 4 And a fifth resistor R 5 Is jointly determined by p and q, where p and q are unknown parameters. When designing the chip, after the currents flowing through the inner ring solder balls 1041 and the outer ring solder balls 1042 along the Y direction are determined according to the application requirements, the fourth resistor R at the corresponding position can be determined 4 And a fifth resistor R 5 And a sixth resistance R 6 The determination can be calculated, and then the ratio of p to q is also the determined value. At this time, the number of vias corresponding to the solder balls at the other position can be obtained correspondingly by only determining the number of vias corresponding to the solder balls at any position in the inner ring solder balls 1041 and the outer ring solder balls 1042 in the Y direction.

For example, around the die, from inside to outside, the first ring of solder balls is denoted as N 1 The second circle of solder balls is denoted as N 2 The third circle of solder balls is denoted as N 3 The ith turn of solder ball is denoted as N i 。N 2 Relative to N 1 N can be obtained by adopting the method for the outer ring solder ball 2 And N 1 The number of the through holes corresponding to the solder balls at the inner and outer adjacent positions N 3 Relative to N 2 N can be obtained by adopting the method for the outer ring solder ball 3 And N 2 The number of the through holes corresponding to the solder balls at the inner and outer adjacent positions, and so on, N i Relative to N i-1 N is obtained by adopting the method for the outer ring solder ball i And N i-1 And the number of the through holes corresponding to the solder balls at the inner and outer adjacent positions.
