Definitions
- the present invention relates to an integrated circuit package.
- Integrated circuits are typically mounted to a package that is soldered to a printed circuit board.
- One such type of integrated circuit package is a ball grid array (“BGA”) package.
- BGA packages have a plurality of solder balls located on a bottom external surface of a package substrate. The solder balls are reflowed to attach the package to the printed circuit board.
- the integrated circuit is mounted to a top surface of the package substrate, and electrically coupled to the solder balls by internal routing within the package.
- FIG. 1 shows a solder ball array of a prior art BGA package 2 .
- the solder balls 4 are arranged in a two-dimensional pattern across the bottom surface of the package.
- the integrated circuit 6 is centrally located on the opposite side of the package 2 .
- the package 2 is typically constructed from a material which has a coefficient of thermal expansion that is different than the thermal expansion coefficient of the integrated circuit. It has been found that the differential thermal expansion between the integrated circuit and the package will induce temperature related stresses that fail solder joints in an area which corresponds to the outer edges of the circuit die.
- FIG. 2 shows a BGA package 2 of the prior art which has an outer two dimensional array of solder balls 4 .
- the solder balls 4 are located away from the package area that is beneath the integrated circuit 6 . Locating the solder balls 4 away from the integrated circuit 6 reduces the thermal stresses on the solder joints created by the differential expansion between the package and the integrated circuit. Although effective in reducing solder failure the outer array pattern limits the input/output (I/O) of the package. Additionally, the integrated circuit generates heat which conducts through the solder balls and into the printed circuit board. Locating the solder balls at the outer perimeter of the package increases the thermal path through the package substrate. The longer path increases the thermal impedance of the package and the junction temperature of the integrated circuit. It would be desirable provide a BGA package that has a longer product life, lower thermal impedance and higher I/O than BGA packages of the prior art.
- the present invention is a ball grid array (“BGA”) integrated circuit package which has an outer two-dimensional array of solder balls and a center two-dimensional array of solder balls located on a bottom surface of a package substrate.
- the solder balls are typically reflowed to mount the package to a printed circuit board.
- Mounted to an opposite surface of the substrate is an integrated circuit that is electrically coupled to the solder balls by internal routing within the package.
- the outer array of solder balls are located outside the dimensional profile of the integrated circuit to reduce solder stresses induced by the differential thermal expansion between the integrated circuit and the substrate.
- the center solder balls are typically routed directly to ground and power pads of the package to provide a direct thermal and electrical path from the integrated circuit to the printed circuit board.
- FIG. 1 is a bottom view of a ball grid array integrated circuit package of the prior art
- FIG. 2 is a bottom view of a ball grid array integrated circuit package of the prior art
- FIG. 3 is a side cross-sectional view of a ball grid array package of the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the package shown in FIG. 3;
- FIG. 5 is a bottom view of an alternate ball grid array package.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 shows a ball grid array (“BGA”) integrated circuit package 10 of the present invention.
- the package 10 includes a substrate 12 that has a top surface 14 and an opposite bottom surface 16 . Mounted to the top surface 14 of the substrate 12 is an integrated circuit 16 .
- the integrated circuit 18 is typically a microprocessor. Although a microprocessor is described, it is to be understood that the package 10 may contain any electrical device(s).
- the top surface 14 of the substrate 12 has a plurality of bond pads 20 and a ground bus 22 .
- the substrate 12 may also have a separate power bus 23 concentrically located about the integrated circuit 18 and ground pad 22 .
- the integrated circuit 18 is coupled to the bond pads 20 and busses 22 and 23 by bond wires 24 .
- the integrated circuit 16 is typically enclosed by an encapsulant 26 .
- bond wires 24 are shown and described, the integrated circuit 18 can be mounted and coupled to the substrate with solder balls located on the bottom surface of the circuit die in a package and process commonly referred to as “C 4 ” or “flip chip” packaging.
- the bottom surface 16 of the substrate 12 has a plurality of contact pads 28 .
- the contact pads 28 are coupled to the bond pads 20 and busses 22 and 23 by vias 30 and internal routing 32 within the substrate 12 .
- the substrate can be constructed with conventional printed circuit board, or co-fired ceramic, packaging processes known in the art.
- solder balls 34 are attached to the contact pads 28 with known ball grid array processes.
- the solder balls 34 are typically reflowed to attach the package 10 to a printed circuit board (not shown).
- the contact pads 28 are arranged in an outer two-dimensional array 36 and a center two-dimensional array 38 .
- Each array contains a plurality of contact pads 28 that are separated from each other by a number of dielectric spaces 40 .
- the outer array 36 is separated from the center array 38 by a dielectric area 42 .
- the outer array 38 is preferably located outside of the outer dimensional profile of the integrated circuit 18 . In this manner the solder joints of the outer array 38 are not subjected to stresses created by the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion of the integrated circuit 18 and the expansion coefficient of the substrate 12 .
- the center array 38 is located near the origin of the integrated circuit 16 in an area that does not undergo as much thermal expansion as the outer edges of the circuit die. Therefore the solder stresses created by the differential thermal expansion is minimal in the area of the center array 38 .
- the separated arrays provide a pattern that minimizes the stresses on the solder joints.
- the outer array 36 is typically coupled to the signal lines of the integrated circuit 16 .
- the center array 38 is preferably coupled to the ground bus 20 and power bus 23 of the substrate 12 .
- the vias 30 that couple the busses 22 and 23 to the center contact pads 38 provide a direct thermal path through the substrate. The direct path lowers the thermal impedance of the package 10 and the junction temperature of the integrated circuit 18 . Additionally, the short electrical path lowers the self-inductance and reduces the switching noise of the integrated circuit 18 .
- the package 10 contains 292 contact pads 28 on a 27 by 27 millimeter (mm) wide substrate 12 , or 352 contact pads 28 on a 35 by 35 mm substrate 12 .
- the dielectric space 40 between the contact pads 28 is typically 1.27 mm.
- the package 10 typically has a height of approximately 2.5 mm.
- the package 10 is assembled by attaching the solder balls 34 to the contact pads 28 .
- the integrated circuit 18 is mounted and coupled to the substrate 12 .
- the integrated circuit 18 is then enclosed by the encapsulant 26 .
- the BGA package 10 is typically shipped to an end user that mounts the package 10 to a printed circuit board by reflowing the solder balls 34 .
- FIG. 5 shows an alternate embodiment of a package 10 ′ which has five or six rows of contact pads 28 in the outer array 36 ′ of the substrate 12 ′.
- the additional pads 28 increase the input/output (I/O) of the package 10 .
- the outer array 36 ′ is preferably outside the outer dimensional profile of the integrated circuit 18 to minimize the stresses on the solder joints.
- the package 10 ′ may provide 324 contact pads 28 on a 27 by 27 mm substrate 10 .
- the longer rows of the package 60 provide the approximate I/O of a 35 by 35 mm package, within the footprint of a 27 by 27 mm package.

Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to an integrated circuit package.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Integrated circuits are typically mounted to a package that is soldered to a printed circuit board. One such type of integrated circuit package is a ball grid array (“BGA”) package. BGA packages have a plurality of solder balls located on a bottom external surface of a package substrate. The solder balls are reflowed to attach the package to the printed circuit board. The integrated circuit is mounted to a top surface of the package substrate, and electrically coupled to the solder balls by internal routing within the package.
- FIG. 1 shows a solder ball array of a prior
art BGA package 2. Thesolder balls 4 are arranged in a two-dimensional pattern across the bottom surface of the package. The integratedcircuit 6 is centrally located on the opposite side of thepackage 2. Thepackage 2 is typically constructed from a material which has a coefficient of thermal expansion that is different than the thermal expansion coefficient of the integrated circuit. It has been found that the differential thermal expansion between the integrated circuit and the package will induce temperature related stresses that fail solder joints in an area which corresponds to the outer edges of the circuit die. - FIG. 2 shows a
BGA package 2 of the prior art which has an outer two dimensional array ofsolder balls 4. Thesolder balls 4 are located away from the package area that is beneath the integratedcircuit 6. Locating thesolder balls 4 away from the integratedcircuit 6 reduces the thermal stresses on the solder joints created by the differential expansion between the package and the integrated circuit. Although effective in reducing solder failure the outer array pattern limits the input/output (I/O) of the package. Additionally, the integrated circuit generates heat which conducts through the solder balls and into the printed circuit board. Locating the solder balls at the outer perimeter of the package increases the thermal path through the package substrate. The longer path increases the thermal impedance of the package and the junction temperature of the integrated circuit. It would be desirable provide a BGA package that has a longer product life, lower thermal impedance and higher I/O than BGA packages of the prior art. - The present invention is a ball grid array (“BGA”) integrated circuit package which has an outer two-dimensional array of solder balls and a center two-dimensional array of solder balls located on a bottom surface of a package substrate. The solder balls are typically reflowed to mount the package to a printed circuit board. Mounted to an opposite surface of the substrate is an integrated circuit that is electrically coupled to the solder balls by internal routing within the package. The outer array of solder balls are located outside the dimensional profile of the integrated circuit to reduce solder stresses induced by the differential thermal expansion between the integrated circuit and the substrate. The center solder balls are typically routed directly to ground and power pads of the package to provide a direct thermal and electrical path from the integrated circuit to the printed circuit board.

integrated circuit package 10 of the present invention. Thepackage 10 includes asubstrate 12 that has atop surface 14 and anopposite bottom surface 16. Mounted to thetop surface 14 of thesubstrate 12 is an integratedcircuit 16. The integratedcircuit 18 is typically a microprocessor. Although a microprocessor is described, it is to be understood that thepackage 10 may contain any electrical device(s). - The
top surface 14 of thesubstrate 12 has a plurality ofbond pads 20 and aground bus 22. Thesubstrate 12 may also have aseparate power bus 23 concentrically located about the integratedcircuit 18 andground pad 22. The integratedcircuit 18 is coupled to thebond pads 20 and busses 22 and 23 bybond wires 24. The integratedcircuit 16 is typically enclosed by anencapsulant 26. Althoughbond wires 24 are shown and described, the integratedcircuit 18 can be mounted and coupled to the substrate with solder balls located on the bottom surface of the circuit die in a package and process commonly referred to as “C4” or “flip chip” packaging. - The
bottom surface 16 of thesubstrate 12 has a plurality ofcontact pads 28. Thecontact pads 28 are coupled to thebond pads 20 and busses 22 and 23 byvias 30 andinternal routing 32 within thesubstrate 12. The substrate can be constructed with conventional printed circuit board, or co-fired ceramic, packaging processes known in the art. - A plurality of
solder balls 34 are attached to thecontact pads 28 with known ball grid array processes. Thesolder balls 34 are typically reflowed to attach thepackage 10 to a printed circuit board (not shown). - The
contact pads 28 are arranged in an outer two-dimensional array 36 and a center two-dimensional array 38. Each array contains a plurality ofcontact pads 28 that are separated from each other by a number ofdielectric spaces 40. Theouter array 36 is separated from thecenter array 38 by a dielectric area 42. Theouter array 38 is preferably located outside of the outer dimensional profile of the integratedcircuit 18. In this manner the solder joints of theouter array 38 are not subjected to stresses created by the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion of the integratedcircuit 18 and the expansion coefficient of thesubstrate 12. Thecenter array 38 is located near the origin of the integratedcircuit 16 in an area that does not undergo as much thermal expansion as the outer edges of the circuit die. Therefore the solder stresses created by the differential thermal expansion is minimal in the area of thecenter array 38. The separated arrays provide a pattern that minimizes the stresses on the solder joints. - The
outer array 36 is typically coupled to the signal lines of the integratedcircuit 16. Thecenter array 38 is preferably coupled to theground bus 20 andpower bus 23 of thesubstrate 12. Thevias 30 that couple thebusses center contact pads 38 provide a direct thermal path through the substrate. The direct path lowers the thermal impedance of thepackage 10 and the junction temperature of the integratedcircuit 18. Additionally, the short electrical path lowers the self-inductance and reduces the switching noise of theintegrated circuit 18. - In the preferred embodiment, the
package 10 contains 292contact pads 28 on a 27 by 27 millimeter (mm)wide substrate 12, or 352contact pads 28 on a 35 by 35mm substrate 12. Thedielectric space 40 between thecontact pads 28 is typically 1.27 mm. Thepackage 10 typically has a height of approximately 2.5 mm. - The
package 10 is assembled by attaching thesolder balls 34 to thecontact pads 28. Theintegrated circuit 18 is mounted and coupled to thesubstrate 12. Theintegrated circuit 18 is then enclosed by theencapsulant 26. TheBGA package 10 is typically shipped to an end user that mounts thepackage 10 to a printed circuit board by reflowing thesolder balls 34. - FIG. 5 shows an alternate embodiment of a
package 10′ which has five or six rows ofcontact pads 28 in theouter array 36′ of thesubstrate 12′. Theadditional pads 28 increase the input/output (I/O) of thepackage 10. Theouter array 36′ is preferably outside the outer dimensional profile of theintegrated circuit 18 to minimize the stresses on the solder joints. Thepackage 10′ may provide 324contact pads 28 on a 27 by 27mm substrate 10. The longer rows of the package 60 provide the approximate I/O of a 35 by 35 mm package, within the footprint of a 27 by 27 mm package. - While certain exemplary embodiments have been described and shown in the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that such embodiments are merely illustrative of and not restrictive on the broad invention, and that this invention not be limited to the specific constructions and arrangements shown and described, since various other modifications may occur to those ordinarily skilled in the art.
