SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Recently, semiconductor devices have been highly integrated and the size of the device has been reduced. Especially, a semiconductor device in which a plurality of semiconductor chips are encapsulated within an insulating material is called a multi-chip-module (MCM) and is widely developed.
One application of the above-mentioned MCM is a switching circuit used for a power-supply circuit. Among those, an insulated DC/DC converter is widely used for information devices such as personal computers. Such products are required to be highly efficient and small because central processing units (CPU) are using larger current and higher frequency.
A DC/DC converter consists of two power MOSFETS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor), one for control and one for synchronization, a driver IC (integrated circuit) for turning the MOSFETS on and off, and other components such as a choke coil and capacitor. Generally, in an MCM for a DC/DC converter, two power MOSFETS and one driver IC are encapsulated in one package.
The objective of encapsulating a plurality of semiconductor chips in one package (sealed body) is to reduce the package area as well as reduce parasitic components such as parasitic inductances and resistances located on the circuit.
Moreover, because a power-supply circuit uses large current and high frequency, parasitic components cause significant power loss. To prevent that problem, it is necessary to shorten the wiring patterns between chips, between the driver IC and MOSFETS, and between the output terminal and a load. In a power-supply MCM, a driver IC and MOSFETS are located near each other and encapsulated together, and semiconductor elements constituting a power-supply circuit are integrated in one package. This configuration allows the MCM to be mounted extremely close to the load. Therefore, it is expected that the MCM will be the most commonly used power-supply device.
That is, when compared to a conventional packaging method in which individually-packaged elements are arrayed on a printed board, in the above-mentioned MCM, the wiring distance is shorter and parasitic inductances and resistances are significantly reduced, thereby enabling a low-loss circuit.
Although, in an MCM, encapsulating a plurality of semiconductor chips in one package reduces the package area, there is a problem in that the heat dissipation capability is reduced.
Furthermore, as shown in a comparative example in FIG. 16 which the inventor of the present invention has been studying, in an MCM, wires are used for major current paths between the chips and frame to enable electrical connections. Therefore, wires make up a significant portion of all the parasitic components. As a result, there is a problem in that parasitic components such as parasitic resistances and inductances in those wires increase.
An objective of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device which is capable of improving the electrical characteristics.
Furthermore, another objective of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device which is capable of improving the capability of dissipating heat.
The above-mentioned and other objectives, and novel features will become more apparent as the description in this specification proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In a semiconductor device according to embodiment 1, shown in FIGS. 1 through 4 and 17, a plurality of semiconductor chips are encapsulated in one sealed body (insulating resin for sealing) 17. In embodiment 1, an MCM (multiple chip module) 1 for a non-insulated DC/DC converter is explained as one example of the above-mentioned semiconductor device.
Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, an MCM 1 has a non-leaded QFN (Quad Flat Non-leaded Package) structure in which a plurality of external connection terminals 11 are disposed on the peripheral edge of the rear surface 17b of the sealed body 17.
The MCM 1 according to embodiment 1 basically consists of a plurality of semiconductor chips, a plate-like conductive member which has electrical connections to at least two semiconductor chips' terminals among those semiconductor chips, a sealed body 17 which encapsulates the plural semiconductor chips, and a plurality of external connection terminals 11 disposed on the peripheral edge of the rear surface 17b of the sealed body 17. Furthermore, in the MCM 1, at least two semiconductor chips connected by the plate-like conductive member have an individual transistor circuit, and the plate-like conductive member is exposed outside the sealed body 17.
Moreover, the MCM 1 has a control power MOSFET chip 2 (first semiconductor chip), a synchronous power MOSFET chip 3 (second semiconductor chip) which has an electrical connection in series to the control power MOSFET chip 2 by a plate-like conductive member, and a driver IC chip 4 (third semiconductor chip) which turns on and off those semiconductor chips. The three semiconductor chips are sealed (encapsulated) in the sealed body 17.
That is, the MCM 1 has two semiconductor chips (first and second semiconductor chips) each of which has a power-supply transistor circuit, and one semiconductor chip (third semiconductor chip) which has a driver circuit for controlling the two semiconductor chips.
The detailed structure of the MCM 1 according to embodiment 1 will be explained. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a control power MOSFET chip (first transistor) 2 is disposed on the input-side plate-like lead (first plate-like conductive member) 5. That is, a terminal which functions as a drain terminal DT1 (first output electrode) of the control power MOSFET is formed on the rear surface 2b of the control power MOSFET chip 2, and the input-side plate-like lead 5 which is a first plate-like conductive member is connected to the drain terminal DT1.
On the principal surface 2a of the control power MOSFET chip 2, terminals which function as the control power MOSFET chip's source terminal (second output electrode) ST1 and gate terminal (input electrode) GT1 are formed, and the source terminal ST1 located on the principal surface 2a of the control power MOSFET chip 2 is connected to the plate-like lead for source 12 which is a second plate-like conductive member.
Furthermore, a synchronous power MOSFET chip (second transistor) 3 is disposed on the output-side plate-like lead 6. That is, a terminal which functions as a drain terminal (first output terminal) DT2 of the synchronous power MOSFET is formed on the rear surface 3b of the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3, and the output-side plate-like lead 6 which is a third plate-like conductive member is connected to the drain terminal DT2. On the principal surface 3a of the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3, terminals which function as the synchronous power MOSFET chip's source terminal ST2 and gate terminal (input electrode) GT2 are formed, and the source terminal ST2 located on the principal surface 3a of the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3 is connected to the plate-like lead for source 13 which is a fourth plate-like conductive member.
Furthermore, the MCM 1 has a ground-side plate-like lead 7 and a driver-side plate-like lead 8, and a driver IC chip 4 is disposed on the driver-side plate-like lead 8. That is, the driver IC chip 4 and the driver-side plate-like lead 8 are connected to each other. On the driver IC chip 4, some terminals 9 among a plurality of terminals 9 located on the principal surface 4a of the driver IC chip 4 are electrically connected to the power MOSFET chips' gate terminal GT1, source terminal ST1, gate terminal GT2 and source terminal ST2 by wires 10, such as gold wires or thin metal wires, thereby the power MOSFETS are turned on and off.
Other terminals 9 located on the principal surface 4a of the driver IC chip 4 are a power supply voltage terminal, boot terminal, voltage check terminal and a control signal input terminal, and each of the terminals is connected to a corresponding external connection terminal 11 by a wire 10.
As shown in FIG. 3, the input-side plate-like lead 5, output-side plate-like lead 6, and driver-side plate-like lead 8, each of which has an installed semiconductor chip, are partially or entirely exposed on the rear surface 17b of the sealed body 17 of the MCM 1. Those leads function as external connection terminals that have electrical connections to the printed wiring board as well as function as heat radiating parts that dissipates heat on the printed wiring board.
As FIGS. 1 and 2 show, the plate-like lead for source 12 provides an electrical connection between the source terminal ST1 of the control power MOSFET chip 2 and the output-side plate-like lead 6. Similarly, the plate-like lead for source 13 provides an electrical connection between the source terminal ST2 of the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3 and the ground-side plate-like lead 7.
Moreover, as FIG. 4 shows, the plate-like lead for source 12 and the plate-like lead for source 13 are partially exposed on the upper surface 17a of the sealed body 17 of the MCM 1.
Furthermore, as FIG. 2 shows, drain terminals DT1 and DT2 located on the rear surfaces 2b and 3b of the control power MOSFET chip 2 and the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3 are joined to the input-side plate-like lead 5 and the output-side plate-like lead 6, respectively, with die bonding material, such as silver paste 14, interposed.
On the other hand, source terminals ST1 and ST2 located on the principal surfaces 2a and 3a of the control power MOSFET chip 2 and the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3 are joined to the plate-like leads for source 12 and 13, respectively, via a plurality of protruding conductive electrodes such as gold bumps 15.
It is possible to use protruding solder electrodes or paste-like conductive adhesives to join the source terminals ST1 and ST2 located on the principal surfaces 2a and 3a of the control power MOSFET chip 2 and the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3, respectively, to the plate-like leads for source 12 and 13.
FIGS. 2, 5, 6 and 7 show various types of connections between the second plate-like conductive member and the third plate-like conductive member, and between the fourth plate-like conductive member and the ground-side plate-like lead 7.
As shown in FIG. 2, the plate-like lead for source 12 has an electrical connection to the output-side plate-like lead 6 via a conductor 16, and the plate-like lead for source 13 has an electrical connection to the ground-side plate-like lead 7 via a conductor 16. Furthermore, as shown in an altered example in FIG. 5, it is possible to create the portions between the plate-like leads for source 12a and 13a and the connections to the output-side plate-like lead 6 and the ground-side plate-like lead 7, respectively, so that those portions become the same conductive members as the leads and then provide electrical connections by using solder 18. A conductive member (second conductive member or third conductive member) which consists of a plate-like lead for source 12, conductor 16, and an output-side plate-like lead 6 has two bends which forms a nearly S-shape.
Furthermore, as shown in altered examples in FIGS. 6 and 7, it is possible to integrate the plate-like lead for source (second plate-like conductive member) 12 and the output-side plate-like lead (third plate-like conductive member) 6, and also integrate the plate-like lead for source 13 and the ground-side plate-like lead 7. In an altered example shown in FIG. 6, leads are integrated by press work. In an altered example shown in FIG. 7, leads are integrated by bending work.
Thus, in the MCM 1 according to embodiment 1, the plate-like lead for source 12 located on the upper-surface 17a side of the sealed body 17 is joined and electrically connected to the output-side plate-like lead 6 located on the rear surface 17b side of the sealed body 17, on the outside of the control power MOSFET chip 2 and the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3, inside the sealed body 17.
Next, FIG. 8 shows an example of an equivalent circuit when the MCM 1 is mounted. The MCM 1 is connected by a coil 20, capacitors 22 and 23, load 24 and an input power source 21 by wires. In a non-insulated DC/DC converter circuit 19, heat is mostly generated by the control power MOSFET chip 2 and the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3.
According to an MCM 1 of embodiment 1, one surface of the plate-like conductive member which functions as a current path is connected to a semiconductor chip and the other surface is exposed outside the sealed body 17, thereby making it possible to increase the capability of dissipating heat. The plate-like conductive member exposed on the rear surface 17b of the sealed body 17 functions as an external connection terminal and is also capable of dissipating heat on the printed wiring board where the MCM 1 is mounted. Furthermore, the plate-like conductive member exposed on the upper surface 17a of the sealed body 17 directly dissipates heat in the ambient air or increases the heat conductivity to a heat radiating member, such as a heat radiating fin 27 (see FIGS. 13 and 14) or heat sink, mounted on the MCM 1.
That is, heat generated by the control power MOSFET chip 2 and the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3 is conveyed from the input-side plate-like lead 5 and the output-side plate-like lead 6, which are exposed on the rear surface 17b of the sealed body 17, to the printed wiring board, thereby dissipating the heat. Furthermore, heat can be externally dissipated from the plate-like lead for source 12 and the plate-like lead for source 13 which are exposed on the upper surface 17a of the sealed body 17, thereby increasing the heat dissipation capability.
As a result, it is possible to increase the heat dissipation capability in the MCM 1. It is also possible to increase the voltage conversion efficiency of the MCM 1.
Furthermore, in an MCM 1 according to embodiment 1, the source terminal ST1 of the control power MOSFET chip 2 is connected to the output-side plate-like lead 6 by the plate-like leads for source 12, and the source terminal ST2 of the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3 is connected to the ground-side plate-like lead 7 by the plate-like leads for source 13. Therefore, when compared to a multiple chip module in a comparative example, shown in FIG. 16, which uses ordinary wire connections using wires 25 such as gold wires, the cross-sectional area of the current path can be made larger in the MCM 1 according to embodiment 1. As a result, parasitic components, such as parasitic resistances and inductances, are reduced, which makes it possible to increase the conversion efficiency.
That is, it is possible to reduce parasitic resistances and parasitic inductances compared to the situations where wire connections are used, thereby making it possible to increase the electrical characteristics of the MCM 1.
Furthermore, it is possible to easily manufacture a reliable semiconductor device by connecting in series the current path between the first transistor's first output electrode and second output electrode to the current path between the second transistor's first output electrode and second output electrode, and mechanically integrating the first, second and third conductive members, and first and second transistors.
(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 9 is a plan view, seen through a sealed body, showing an example of the structure of a semiconductor device (multiple chip module for a non-insulated DC/DC converter) according to embodiment 2 of the present invention. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view showing the cross-sectional structure taken substantially along the lines B-B in FIG. 9. FIG. 11 is a drawing of the rear surface showing the structure of the semiconductor device shown in FIG. 9. FIG. 12 is an outside perspective view showing the structure of the semiconductor device shown in FIG. 9.
Similar to embodiment 1, a semiconductor device according to embodiment 2 is an MCM (multiple chip module) 1 for a non-insulated DC/DC converter. The semiconductor device is a semiconductor package in which a control power MOSFET chip 2, synchronous power MOSFET chip 3 and a driver IC chip 4 which turns on and off those power MOSFET chips are encapsulated.
The structure of the MCM 1 according to embodiment 2 will be described. As FIGS. 9 and 10 show, a control power MOSFET chip 2 is disposed on an input-side plate-like lead 5. And, terminals which function as the control power MOSFET chip's source terminal ST1 and gate terminal GT1 are formed on the principal surface 2a of the control power MOSFET chip 2. Furthermore, a terminal which functions as the control power MOSFET chip's drain terminal DT1 is formed on the rear surface 2b of the control power MOSFET chip 2.
On the other hand, what is different from embodiment 1 is that a synchronous power MOSFET chip 3 is disposed on the ground-side plate-like lead 7. That is, as shown in FIG. 10, the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3, which is a second semiconductor chip, is disposed reversely (principal and rear surfaces upside down) compared to the control power MOSFET chip 2 which is a first semiconductor chip. Moreover, a terminal which functions as the synchronous power MOSFET chip's drain terminal DT2 is formed on the principal surface 3a of the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3, and terminals which function as the synchronous power MOSFET chip's source terminal ST2 and gate terminal GT2 are formed on the rear surface 3b of the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3.
As FIG. 9 shows, the MCM 1 for a DC/DC converter has an output-side plate-like lead 6.
Furthermore, a driver IC chip 4 is disposed on the driver-side plate-like lead 8. Some of the terminals 9 located on the principal surface 4a of the driver IC chip 4 have electrical connections to the control power MOSFET chip's 2 gate terminal GT1 and source terminal ST1, and the synchronous power MOSFET chip's 3 source terminal ST2 and gate terminal GT2, thereby turning on and off each power MOSFET. Moreover, because the gate terminal GT2 is downwardly formed on the principal surface 3a, as shown in FIG. 9, some of the terminals 9 of the driver IC chip 4 are connected to the synchronous power MOSFET chip's 3 gate terminal GT2 by wires 10 with a metal plate 26 interposed. The gate terminal GT2 has an electrical connection to a metal plate 26 via bump electrodes, for example. Other terminals are a power supply voltage terminal, boot terminal, voltage check terminal, and a control signal input terminal. Each of the terminals is connected to a corresponding external connection terminal 11 by a wire 10.
As shown in FIG. 11, the input-side plate-like lead 5, output-side plate-like lead 6, ground-side plate-like lead 7 and driver-side plate-like lead 8 are partially or entirely exposed on the rear surface 17b of the sealed body 17. Thus, those plate-like leads function as external connection terminals which have electrical connections to the printed wiring board as well as function as heat radiating parts which dissipate heat on the printed wiring board.
However, it is not necessary to expose all of the plate-like leads. For example, it is possible that only the output-side plate-like lead 6 is hidden.
Furthermore, the plate-like lead for source 12 provides electrical connections between the source terminal ST1 of the control power MOSFET chip 2 and the drain terminal DT2 of the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3. As shown in FIG. 12, the plate-like lead for source 12 is partially exposed on the upper surface 17a of the sealed body 17.
Therefore, in an MCM 1 according to embodiment 2, as shown in FIG. 9, the connecting portion of the plate-like lead for source 12 (second plate-like conductive member) at which the lead connects to the control power MOSFET chip 2 (one semiconductor chip) is joined to the connecting portion at which the lead connects to the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3 (the other semiconductor chip) on the upper surface 17a of the sealed body 17.
Moreover, the surface of the control power MOSFET chip 2 on which the drain terminal DT1 is formed is pressure-bonded to the input-side plate-like lead 5, for example, via a die bonding material such as silver paste 14, and the source terminal ST1 located on the opposite surface is connected to the plate-like lead for source 12, for example, via a conductive material such as a gold bump 15.
On the other hand, the surface of the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3 on which the drain terminal DT2 is formed is pressure-bonded to the plate-like lead for source 12, for example, via a die bonding material such as silver paste 14, and the source terminal ST2 located on the opposite surface is connected to the ground-side plate-like lead 7, for example, via a conductive material such as a gold bump 15.
In an MCM 1 according to embodiment 2, by installing at least one semiconductor chip upside down, it is possible to make manufacturing of the plate-like lead for source 12 much easier than that of an MCM 1 according to embodiment 1. That is, as shown in FIG. 10, it is possible to connect the source terminal ST1 of the control power MOSFET chip 2 and the drain terminal DT2 of the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3 onto the same surface of the plate-like lead for source 12 by using only one plate-like lead for source 12. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the complicated manufacturing process in which a plurality of semiconductor chips are connected on the different surfaces of the plate-like lead for source 12. As a result, it is possible to reduce the time to connect and manufacture leads. Thus, the structure of the MCM 1 can be simplified.
Furthermore, because the plate-like lead for source 12 can be formed by using only one plate-like lead, it is possible to make the area of the plate-like lead for source 12 larger than that of the MCM 1 according to embodiment 1. As a consequence, the heat dissipation capability can be increased and the voltage conversion efficiency can also be increased.

FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the structure of a semiconductor device (multiple chip module for a non-insulated DC/DC converter) according to embodiment 3 of the present invention. FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of a semiconductor device which is an altered example according to embodiment 3 of the present invention.
Similar to embodiments 1 and 2, a semiconductor device according to embodiment 3 is an MCM (multiple chip module) 1 for a non-insulated DC/DC converter. The structure which will increase the heat dissipation capability will be explained.
An MCM 1 shown in FIG. 13 is an MCM 1 in which a heat radiating fin 27 (heat radiating member) is mounted to the MCM 1 according to embodiment 1. That is, in an MCM 1 according to embodiment 1, two plate-like leads (plate-like leads for source 12 and 13) exposed on the upper surface 17a of the sealed body 17 have different potentials, and therefore, a heat radiating member such as a heat radiating fin 27 is installed with an insulating sheet 28 interposed.
Thus, by mounting a heat radiating fin 27 to the plate-like lead exposed on the upper surface 17a of the MCM 1, it is possible to increase the heat dissipation capability of the MCM 1.
Furthermore, an MCM 1 shown in FIG. 14 is an MCM 1 in which a heat radiating fin 27 (heat radiating member) is mounted to the MCM 1 according to embodiment 2. In this MCM 1, only one plate-like lead for source 12 is exposed on the upper surface 17a of the sealed body 17. Therefore, the plate-like lead for source 12 can be directly connected to the heat radiating fin 27 without an insulating sheet 28 interposed. Consequently, it is possible to make the heat dissipation capability higher than that of the MCM 1 shown in FIG. 13.
Furthermore, it is also possible to integrate the plate-like lead for source 12 and the heat radiating fin 27, thereby making it possible to increase the heat dissipation capability.
(Embodiment 4)
FIG. 15 is a plan view, seen through a sealed body, showing an example of the structure of a semiconductor device (multiple chip module for a non-insulated DC/DC converter) according to embodiment 4 of the present invention.
Similar to embodiments 1 and 2, a semiconductor device according to embodiment 4 is an MCM (multiple chip module) 1 for a non-insulated DC/DC converter. In an MCM 1 according to embodiments 1 and 2, wires 10 are used to connect the control power MOSFET chip's 2 source terminal ST1 and gate terminal GT1 to the driver IC chip's 4 terminals 9, or to connect the synchronous power MOSFET chip's 3 source terminal ST2 and gate terminal GT2 to the driver IC chip's 4 terminals 9. However, in an MCM 1 according to embodiment 4, metal plates (other plate-like conductive members) 29 are used for the connections of the gate drive circuits, or other connections.
That is, in an example shown in FIG. 15, the terminal of the control power MOSFET chip 2 has an electrical connection to a corresponding terminal 9 of the driver IC chip 4 by a metal plate 29, and the terminal of the synchronous power MOSFET chip 3 also has an electrical connection to a corresponding terminal 9 of the driver IC chip 4 by a metal plate 29. Furthermore, electrical connections between the terminals and metal plates 29 are provided, for example, by using gold bumps 15.
In the MCM 1, when the high-speed switching is selected, parasitic resistances and parasitic inductances, including a gate drive circuit, other than the main current path may cause the efficiency to decrease. Therefore, by connecting the driver IC chip 4 to the electrodes of the control power MOSFET chip 2 and synchronous power MOSFET chip 3 by using metal plates 29, it is possible to reduce the parasitic resistances and parasitic inductances compared to the situations where wire connections are used.
Moreover, other connections that use wires 10 as shown in FIG. 15 can be replaced with metal plates 29.
As stated above, the present invention provided by the inventor has been explained in detail according to the embodiments. However, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be embodied in a variety of forms as long as they do not depart from the concept of the present invention.
For example, in the above embodiments 1 through 4, the MCM 1 which is a QFN-type semiconductor device is explained. However, the MCM 1 is not intended to be limited to the QFN-type semiconductor device, and can be a semiconductor device of other structures such as a QFP (Quad Flat Package) type semiconductor device as long as a plurality of semiconductor chips are encapsulated in a sealed body. Furthermore, the number of encapsulated semiconductor chips is not intended to be limited to three, therefore, there can be four or more semiconductor chips.
The present invention is suitable for use in a semiconductor device or electronic device.
A major embodiment of the present invention disclosed in this application is briefly described as shown below:
Because the present invention has a plate-like conductive member to connect terminals of two semiconductor chips, it is possible to reduce parasitic resistances and parasitic inductances compared to the situations where wire connections are used, thereby increasing the electrical characteristics of the semiconductor device. Furthermore, the above-mentioned plate-like conductive member is exposed outside the sealed body, thereby making it possible to increase the heat dissipation capability of the semiconductor device.
