The technique is suited to either multichip integrated circuit boards (120) in a plane, or to stacks of circuit boards (120) in a three dimensional interconnect structure. Integrated circuit chips (125) are mounted on a circuit board using flip-chip or control collapse bonds. A microchannel structure is essentially permanently coupled with the back of the chip. A coolant delivery manifold (31) delivers coolant to the microchannel structure, and a seal consisting of a compressible elastomer (130) is provided between the coolant delivery manifold and the microchannel structure. The integrated circuit chip (125) and microchannel structure are connected together to form a replaceable integrated circuit module which can be easily decoupled from the coolant delivery manifold and the circuit board. The coolant supply manifolds may be disposed between the circuit boards in a stack and coupled to supplies of coolant through a side of the stack.
Description
MICROCHANNEL COOLING OF FACE DOWN BONDED CHIPS
The United States government has rights in this invention pursuant to Contract Number W-7405-ENG-48 between the United States Department of Energy and the University of California for the operation of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION The present application is related to U.S. patent application entitled
THREE DIMENSIONAL, MULTI-CHIP MODULE, Serial No. , filed on the same day as the present application, and owned at the time of invention and currently by the same assignee.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to cooling high power integrated circuits; and particularly to microchannel cooling of integrated circuits bonded face down on circuit boards, such as by flip-chip bonding.
Description of the Related Art
Many computer systems rely on so-called flip-chip bonding of die for electrical and mechanical attachment of integrated circuit chips to circuit boards. See, Goldman, et al., "Area Array Solder Interconnections for VLSI", SOLID STATE TECHNOLOGY, June, 1983, pp. 91-97. In flip- chip bonds, the integrated circuits are mounted face down on the circuit board. Solder bumps are coupled to bonding sites on the integrated circuits and corresponding bonding sites on the circuit board. The principal advantages of flip-chip bonding are a relative lack of electrical parasitics associated with the electrical connection, relatively high I/O available (in principal, at least), and repairability by removal and replacement of the chips. On the other hand, a significant difficulty is
encountered in cooling fiip-chip mounted chips. The solder bumps cover only a small fraction of the surface of the chip, and the underlying circuit boards are usually poor thermal conductors.
Heat is removed from commercial flip-chip systems using so-called thermal conduction module or TCM, such as described in the Goldman, et al. article cited above. However, the thermal conduction modules are very complex mechanically, and can only remove limited amounts of heat. As the power dissipated by integrated circuits increases, it is expected that the thermal conduction module technology will be insufficient.
One integrated circuit cooling technology which is capable of removing large amounts of heat is known as microchannel cooling. MicroChannel cooling is described in detail in Tuckerman, et al., "High- Performance Heat Sinking for VLSI", IEEE ELECTRON DEVICE LETTERS, Vol. EDL-2, No. 5, May, 1981, pp. 126-129; Tuckerman, et al., U.S. Patent No.4,450,472; and Phillips, etal., U.S. Patent No.4,894,790. Other microchannel cooling background is found in Goldberg, U.S. Patent No. 4,489,363; and Goldberg, "Narrow Channel Forced Air Heat Sink", IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPONENTS, HYBRIDS, AND MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY, Vol. CHMT-7, No. 1, March, 1984, pp. 154-159.
It has been proposed to apply microchannel type cooling to fiip- chip bonded integrated circuits by Yamada, et al., U.S. Patent No. 4,686,606. According to Yamada, et al., a grooved cooling module is bonded to a suction plate. The cooling module is coupled through a bellows-type tube to a manifold for delivering coolant to the structure. The suction plate contacts the backside of the integrated circuits through a silicone oil or other liquid, providing a suction joint at which the integrated circuit may be separated from the cooling structure. The Yamada, et al. structure illustrates the mechanical complexity of supplying a flow of coolant through a microchannel structure that is in
close thermal contact with an integrated circuit chip mounted face down on a circuit board. The integrated circuit chips will not lie perfectly flat on the circuit board, and will lay at varying heights, due to the manufacturing tolerances of flip-chip bonding. Thus, Yamada, et al. has devised this suction plate approach to making a good thermal contact with the chip. However, the suction plate envisioned by Yamada, et al requires use of a liquid which is a poor conductor of heat (in the case of oil) or which can contaminate and electrically short circuit the integrated circuits (in the case of liquid metals), and is believed to have other limitations which render it impractical.
It is desirable to provide a practical technique for applying microchannel cooling to flip-chip bonded integrated circuits, that allows for removal and replacement of individual chips, while taking advantage of the high efficiencies of microchannels in good thermal communication with the integrated circuit chips.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a technique for applying microchannel cooling to flip-chip bonded integrated circuits, which maintains all of the advantages of flip-chip bond, while overcoming the difficulties encountered in cooling the chips. Furthermore, the technique is suited to either multichip integrated circuit boards in a plane, or to stacks of circuit boards, in a three dimensional interconnect structure.
Thus, according to one aspect of the present invention, an integrated circuit package comprises a circuit board, and an integrated circuit chip having an integrated circuit formed on a first major surface. The chip is mounted on the circuit board so that the first major surface faces the circuit board using bonds, such as flip-chip or control collapse bonds. A microchannel structure is essentially permanently coupled with the second major surface of the chip, and provides a coolant flow path in heat flow communication with the chip. A coolant delivery manifold
delivers coolant to the microchannel structure, and a removable, compressible seal is provided between the coolant delivery manifold and the microchannel structure.
The microchannel structure may comprise a grooved substrate bonded to the second major surface of the integrated circuit chip, with a cover manifold over the grooved substrate providing a coolant flow path through the grooves. Alternatively, the microchannel structure may comprise a plurality of grooves formed in the second major surface of the integrated circuit chip, and a corresponding cover manifold. The seal in a preferred system comprises a compressible elastomer, so that coupling of the coolant delivery manifold to the microchannel structure may be securely made while tolerating differences in height of the integrated circuit chips, and without requiring large pressures which may damage the chips. The package, according to this aspect, allows for removal and replacement of individual integrated circuit modules. Thus, a failed integrated circuit may be detected and located on a circuit buard. The coolant supply manifold may be easily removed. The seal itself may be removable, or it may be affixed to either the manifold or the microchannel structure'. This exposes fiip-chip bonded integrated circuit modules that may be selectively removed and replaced using standard flip-chip bonding techniques. The seal and coolant supply manifold are then replaced and the structure is made whole again.
According to yet another aspect of the invention, the package comprises a stack of circuit boards, having flip-chip bonded integrated circuit modules as described above mounted on circuit boards in the stack. The coolant supply manifolds are disposed between the circuit boards and coupled to supplies of coolant at a side of the stack.
According to yet another aspect of the present invention, a replaceable integrated circuit module as described above is provided.
Other aspects and advantages of the present invention can be seen upon review of the figures, the detailed description, and the claims which follow.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Figs. 1-8 illustrate embodiments of the present invention using "flip- chip" bonded integrated circuits with microchannel cooling on the top side of the integrated circuits. Fig. 1 schematically illustrates a stack 10 of circuit boards 11-17.
The circuit boards 11-17 are separated by perimeter wall members 18-
23. The top circuit board 11 also has a perimeter wall member 24 bonded along the side for structural purposes. Such wall may or may not be necessary for a given embodiment.
The integrated circuit stack is implemented in the preferred embodiment according to the technology described in the above- referenced U.S. patent application entitled THREE DIMENSIONAL, MULTI-CHIP MODULE", which is incorporated by reference in the present application as if fully set forth herein.
As shown schematically at the cutaway in Fig. 1, on circuit board 13, a plurality of integrated circuits, such as integrated circuit 30, are mounted on each circuit board using face down bonding, such as flip- chip technology. A coolant delivery manifold 31 is coupled at a compressible seal 32 to the individual integrated circuits. The coolant delivery manifold is, in turn, connected through tube 33 to a source 34 of coolant A coolant input 35 and a coolant output 36 are used to provide the flow of coolant for the entire stack 10. As can be seen, each of the individual circuit boards in the stack includes its own coolant delivery manifold as evidenced by the tubes 37, 38, 33, 39, 40, 41 , and 42. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, the input and output ports for the coolant delivery manifolds are provided on the same side of the stack. Alternative systems may have an input manifold on one side and an output manifold on an opposite side, or other configurations as suit the particular mounting technology used for the stack. Although Fig. 1 illustrates that the present invention is particularly suited for three dimensional stacks of circuit boards using flip-chip bonding techniques, the present invention is also well suited for a single, planar circuit board embodiment, or other geometries as may suit a particular application.
More details concerning the microchannel cooling structure according to the present invention are provided with respect to Figs. 2- 8.
Fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of an integrated circuit chip 125, circuit board 120, perimeter wall 131, and coolant supply manifold 129
(sectioned in the Figure through a coolant supply channel 133), for a face down mounted integrated circuit package according to the present invention. As can be see, each circuit board 120 has a first major surface 121 and a second major surface 122. Near the first major surface 121 of the circuit board 120, a thin film, planarized interconnect
123 is formed. The interconnect 123 has chip bonding sites (e.g., 124) accessible at the first major surface. The chip bonding sites are adapted for flip-chip, solder bump, or controlled-collapse bonding to corresponding bonding sites on the integrated circuit chip 125. Bonded to, formed on, or otherwise essentially permanently (i.e., not intended to be separated in normal use) coupled with, the back of the integrated circuit chip 125 is a substrate 126 having a plurality of grooves (e.g., 127). A groove cover 128 is bonded to the grooved substrate 126 providing cooling channels along the grooves 127 in the substrate 126. Openings in groove cover 128 are provided at each end of the grooves
127 so that a coolant flow path is provided along the grooves. The chip, grooves, and groove cover are connected together to provide a replaceable integrated circuit module.
A coolant supply manifold 129 is then coupled to the groove cover 128 using a compressible elastomer seal 130. The compressible elastomer seal 130 surrounds openings in the coolant supply manifold at each end of the grooves 127 to confine flow of the coolant through the channels formed by the grooves. Also, the compressible elastomer seal 130 has sufficient thickness to account for variations in height of the chips due to manufacturing tolerances or other variations. The perimeter wall 131 for the module formed with the microchannel cooling has a
height greater than the combined height of the flip-chip mounted integrated circuit 125, the microchannel groove substrate 126, the groove cover 128, the elastomer seal 130, and the coolant supply manifold 129. In the example illustrated, heat dissipation is assumed to be 150 W/cm2 on 12 x 12 mm chips; the coolant supply channel 133 is sized to cool a pair of rows of 10 chips each using water as the coolant. The resulting perimeter wall height is about 7mm. This perimeter wall is bonded using a eutectic bond 132.
The coolant used in the microchannel cooling system of Fig. 2 can be water, a dielectric fluid such as Coolanol (a silicate ester available from Monsanto, St. Louis, Missouri), air, or other cooling fluid or gas. Coolants with a large heat capacity and thermal conductivity allow for implementation with smaller dimensions to facilitate dense integrated circuit packaging. Laser-patterned interconnects along the sides of the circuit board
120 and up the sides of the perimeter wall 131 are provided.
Fig. 3 illustrates an alternative technique for mounting the perimeter wall 140 on a circuit board 141. According to this technique, controlled- collapse, or solder bump bonding is used on both the top and bottom surfaces to mount the perimeter wall 140 on the circuit board, in the same manner as the chips 142 are mounted on the circuit board 141. Thus, the planar interconnect will include a bonding site 143 adopted for solder bump bonding to the conductors 144 on the perimeter wail. Conductors wrap around three sides of the perimeter wall and are formed using laser pantography. In this embodiment, the laser pantography is carried out in two steps, forming conductors around the bottom corner 145 in a first step and a top corner 146 in a second step.
Fig. 4 illustrates an example of an embodiment adapted for air cooling of pairs of rows of 10 chips each, where the chips generate about 20 W/cm2. In this embodiment, the perimeter wall 200 may be aDDroximatelv 10mm high. This allows for a coolant supply manifold 201
approximately 5mm high and an integrated circuit module 202, which includes the integrated circuit 203, the grooved substrate 204, and the cover 205, of approximately 3mm in height.
Fig. 5 provides a cross-sectional view of an integrated circuit module, generally 299, and coolant supply manifold 310 apart from the stacked interconnect system. According to this embodiment, each module 299 includes an integrated circuit chip 300 having a plurality of solder bump bonding sites (e.g., 301, 302) formed on a first major surface 303 of the chip 300. Also on the first major surface 303 an integrated circuit is formed on the chip.
The backside 304 of the integrated circuit chip is bonded to a microchannel structure 305 which includes a plurality of grooves 306. A microchannel cover manifold 307 is bonded to the microchannel structure 305. The cover manifold 307 is manufactured using glass or other material compatible with bonding to the microchannel structure
305. A glass cover may be bonded to a silicon microchannel heat sink using hot contact bonding. .The cover manifold 307 includes coolant delivery channels 308, 309 which provide a coolant flow path through the cover manifold 307 to the grooves 306 in the microchannel structure 305.
The coolant delivery channels 308, 309 are fed coolant through a coolant supply manifold 310. The coolant supply manifold 310 includes a first flow path 311, and a second flow path 312. The first flow path 311 provides higher pressure coolant into the coolant delivery channel 308, while the flow path 312 provides a lower pressure path from the coolant delivery channel 309.
An elastomer seal 313 seals the junction between the flow path 311 and the coolant delivery channel 308, and elastomer seal 314 seals the junction between the coolant delivery channel 309 and the coolant flow path 312. The elastomer seals 313, 314 consist of a compressible material, such as neoprene, viton, or the like, which allows the coolant
supply manifold 310 to be placed over the chip module 299 of Fig. 5 with sufficient pressure to form a seal for the coolant flow while allowing for differences in height of the integrated circuit modules on a given circuit board that arise due to manufacturing tolerances, warping, and the like. Fig. 6 illustrates a cut-away perspective view of an integrated circuit module, generally, 350 according to the invention. The integrated circuit module 350 includes an integrated circuit chip 351 having solder bump bonding sites 352 along a first major surface 353 of the chip. The back surface 354 of the chip 351 is bonded to a microchannel structure 355. A plurality of microchannels 356 are formed in the microchannel structure 355. The cover manifold 357 is bonded to the microchannel structure 355. The coolant delivery channel 358 is cut or formed in the cover manifold 357 as illustrated.
Because the coolant supply manifold (310 of Fig. 5) is removable, and the solder bump bonding allows removal of each chip module individually, the presenttechnique allows implementation of microchannel cooling on a chip by chip basis in a large circuit board. Furthermore, upon failure of an individual chip on the circuit board, the coolant supply manifold 310 can be removed, and individual integrated circuit modules 350 can be replaced as necessary.
Figs. 7 and 8 schematically illustrate a circuit board module 400 and a coolant supply manifold 401 for use with the microchannel cooled IC modules of Figs. 5 and 6. As can be seen, the circuit board module 400 includes a circuit board 402 having a first major surface 403. A plurality of integrated circuit modules (e.g., 404, 405) are bonded to the circuit board 403 using fiip-chip, or other face down bonding technology. Each of the integrated circuit modules includes an integrated circuit, a microchannel structure, and a cover manifold. An elastomer seal 406, 407 is provided around each of the coolant delivery channels 408, 409 in the coolant cover manifolds. Also illustrated heuristically in Fig. 7 is a perimeter wall 416 around the circuit board 402. Perimeter wall 416
may be implemented as illustrated in Figs. 2, 3, or 4 to provide for an efficient interconnect structure in a stack of individually microchannel cooled integrated circuit modules.
The coolant supply manifold 401 (Fig. 8) includes a plurality of coolant supply channels (e.g., 410, 411, 412, 413). Channels 410 and
412 are higher pressure channels while channels 411 and 413 are lower pressure channels. The manifold 401 is adapted for placement over the printed circuit board module of Fig. 7 so that the openings (e.g., 414, 415) in the coolant supply channels (e.g., 410, 411) mate with the openings (e.g., 408, 409) in the individual integrated circuit modules
(e.g., 404) on the circuit board 400. The elastomer seals 406 and 407 permit the coupling of the coolant supply manifold 401 with the integrated circuit modules 404 while accounting for manufacturing tolerances and preventing large forces on the integrated circuit which may lead to cracks or other failures in the devices.
In summary, a practical solution to cooling face down mounted integrated circuits has been provided. According to the invention, a die is attached to a microchannel heat sink, bonded to a cover manifold to establish a coolant flow path through the grooves in the microchannel heat sink. The heat sink may be made using silicon or other materials, with a cover manifold of glass. The integrated circuit is attached to the heat sink structure using a eutectic or other solder bond. Alternatively, the groove structure is formed directly in the back of the integrated circuit chip. This integrated circuit module may then be bonded face down to a circuit board.
A separate coolant supply manifold is provided. The coolant supply manifold is big enough in lateral dimensions to cover all or a subset of the integrated circuit modules on a given circuit board. For instance, a single coolant supply manifold may supply more than 100 chips per board. The coolant supply manifold has a number of coolant supply and removal lines, with holes or slots in the bottom which mate to the input
and output structures on the respective integrated circuit modules. These mating contacts are surrounded by a sealing material to prevent leaks. The sealing material is sufficiently compliant, and elastic to allow for a range of compression. This range accommodates the difference in height of the various integrated circuit modules.
The coolant supply manifold can be attached or otherwise referenced to the circuit board or the circuit board holder. Tolerances in manufacturing this structure are quite lax, perhaps 0.2 mm out of 200 mm. Accordingly, a structure is provided for efficient cooling of face down bonded integrated circuits, which preserves all of the main advantages of such bonds.
