Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of defining high tolerance cavities in electronic components, and the resulting packages. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of a router system for forming a cavity or cavities in at least one electronic package by inserting and advancing a router bit through the back of the electronic package and traveling the router bit in a counterclockwise direction. Routing of the cavity is conducted until a final dimension is achieved, which may be a final dimension or a predetermined dimension at which time the router bit is replaced by a finishing bit and routing is continued until the final dimensions are achieved. Routing through the back of a package according to the present invention provides a high tolerance cavity in the package where shorter bond wires are used to connect a chip to the package, thereby reducing wire bond inductance.
  • NC numerical control
  • CNC computer numerical control
  • PCWB printed circuit wiring boards
  • prior art processes may produce lips or burrs on the edges of the routed cavities. As a result of these lips or burrs, wires which are bonded to the respective contacts on the chip and package must be looped over the lips or burrs. The presence of the lips or burrs increases wire bond length and the attendant increase in inductance.
  • Cavities in ceramic chip package are usually formed by punching "green sheet", or sheets of plasticized ceramic, which are generally non-cured ceramic. Once the cavities have been punched in several green sheets, they are superimposed upon one another, e.g., stacked up, and the respective cavity in one sheet is aligned with cavities in the other sheets of the stackup. The layered green sheets are then laminated together and cured. Another technique for forming cavities in ceramic packages is by lasing cavities in fired ceramic packages.
  • metallic feature formation technology is employed. In the metallic feature technology, metallic paste is screened into pre-formed features and onto the surface of the green sheet. Thereafter, the green sheets containing the screened pre-form are subjected to firing or curing. The curing or firing causes the green sheet to shrink which is a problem. Shrinkage that occurs during the firing or curing processes, prevents formation of the feature combined with the definition of metal features by screening densities on the order of approximately 100 microns (.0039").
  • a ceramic base or metal heat spreader 1 includes layers 2, 3 and 4 thereon, each defining a cavity of increasing cross-sectional area, 5, 6 and 7, respectively.
  • Each layer can include a single or a plurality of green sheet layers.
  • a chip 9 is inserted into the cavity 10 and wire bonds 9 are attached at respective ends to conductive pads on the chip (not shown) and conductive pads on the wiring package layers (not shown). As a result of this tiered configuration, increased wiring length and increased inductance occurs.
  • FIG. 1 shows a conventional prior art package where gap 11 , the chip to package spacing distance, is greater than 1.00 mm (39.37 mils) wide.
  • the wire bond lengths for this configuration are usually greater than 2.54 mm (100 mils).
  • wire bond lengths are typically larger than 2.54 mm (100 mils), which results in a larger self-inductance than is desired in high performance packages and contributes to high simultaneous switching noise.
  • a need also exists for a manufacturing technique that can reduce the chip to package spacing, and therefore concurrently reduce wire bond length and inductance.
  • the present invention is directed to a method for forming cavities in electronic components, by mounting the component in an inverted position, engaging a router bit with the backside of the component, and moving a router with the bit along a circumscribed area on the component in a counterclockwise direction.
  • An aspect of the present invention is a method for manufacturing chip packages having reduced chip to package gaps, reduced wire bond lengths and reduced inductance.
  • Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing protocol that will maximize cavity uniformity.
  • a purpose of the present invention is to form a chip cavity while eliminating or reducing the formation of lips or burrs on the wall edges of the cavity. It is another purpose of the present invention to minimize the chip to package spacing to reduce the inductance of undesirable wire bond lengths.

  • Holes 39 were drilled with a drill bit (not shown) at a feed rate of approximately 10 ipm and a rotational speed of 70 krpm when a solid copper is the stiffener. This bit produces a corner radius of 0.254 mm (10 mils).

  • a second (finishing) bit e.g., an RI style router bit (Megatool, Inc.) having a 0.794 mm (0.03125") diameter (not shown) was inserted into the chuck of the router. Routing was continued with the finishing bit (not shown) by feeding the finished bit at a counterclockwise direction traveling at a rate of 5 ipm and a rotational speed of 50 krpm in the cavity, to the finished cavity dimension, as shown in Fig. 14. In one embodiment, a double pass with the finishing bit was performed for the final routing to achieve the cleanest possible edges and minimal slope of the cavity wall.

  • a chip was placed in the routed cavity.
  • the cavity had been routed such that the chip is within 10 mils or less of the edge of the cavity.
  • Wire bonds are placed on the chip and connected to the chip package. This results in a non-tiered wire bond package having short wire bond lengths.
  • the chip package is then ready for any further processing. Because the tolerance between the chip and the chip package is 10 mils or less, the length of the wire bonds is approximately 20 mils or less. This is 3-5 times smaller than conventional wire bond lengths. Thus, the smaller wire bond lengths in a package produces a lower inductance than conventional packages and therefore, better overall performance.
