Definitions
- the present invention relates to a semiconductor module and a method for manufacturing the semiconductor module.
- semiconductor modules that generate a large amount of heat have been cooled by cooling the modules at once.
- the semiconductor package mounted on this module is combined and connected to an air-cooled or water-cooled radiator to remove heat from the semiconductor.
- the reliability of the electrical contacts of the semiconductor package depends on the method of connecting the radiator to the semiconductor package.
- the semiconductor package is connected to the substrate by fine solder balls, and the solder balls may be fatigue-ruptured and disconnected due to repeated force applied to the package from the radiator. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the radiator from applying force to the semiconductor package even if the module is deformed by the heat generated during operation of the semiconductor.
- the connecting member since the height of the semiconductor package from the substrate is different due to manufacturing tolerances, the connecting member must absorb the difference in height and connect to the radiator.
- thermal conductivity of the high thermal conductive flexible material is less than about 110 compared to high thermal conductive ceramics such as metal such as copper and aluminum nitride, a slight increase in thickness reduces the cooling capacity.
- Cause Figure 12 shows the thermal resistance of typical thermal conductive elastomers and compounds. -': ⁇ -By the way, if the method of compressing the thermal conductive elastomer to absorb the tolerance of component height is adopted, at least the lowest package mounted on the board will have at least An elastomer with a thickness equal to the height difference from the highest package on the board must be placed. In particular, when mounting and cooling a semiconductor package having a large calorific value, the cooling capacity may be insufficient due to the thermal resistance of the elastomer having that thickness.
- thermal conductivity of the thermal conductive elastomer is at most about 2 WZ m K among the currently available ones.
- the temperature difference between the temperature of the semiconductor element and the cooling water must be suppressed to about 60.
- the thermal resistance from the cooling water to the semiconductor element can be roughly divided into
- the heat conduction of the heat-conducting elastomer layer and the heat conduction of other members there are three elements, the heat conduction of the heat-conducting elastomer layer and the heat conduction of other members, and the heat resistance of the heat-conducting elastomer layer is preferably kept to 1/3 or less, that is, 20 or less. I want to.
- the thickness of the thermal conductive elastomer must be 4 Om or less. Since the deformation of the elastomer is about 30% of the initial thickness, the deformation that can be absorbed by the 40 m elastomer film is about 13 ⁇ m. On the other hand, the manufacturing variation of the height of the semiconductor package may reach 100 / m.
- the height variation of the package cannot be absorbed by the elastic deformation of the elastomer film.
- the diameter of the solder ball of the contact point is about 100 / m. 1 0 0
- An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor module having a deformation absorbing ability against thermal deformation of a module while connecting the semiconductor chip or package to a radiator with a small thermal resistance.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor module which does not apply undue stress to electrical contacts of the semiconductor package and has low thermal resistance when there are manufacturing tolerances in the radiator, frame and semiconductor package. It is to provide an assembly method.
- a height of the height by adjusting the thickness by melting the solder layer between the semiconductor package and the radiator and melting this solder layer Adjust the contact so that the contact surface with the radiator is flush.
- a layer of repli- cation solder is also interposed between the frame and the radiator, and the solder layer is melted so that the upper surface of the frame and the radiator are in close contact.
- the thickness of the high thermal conductive flexible material layer joining the semiconductor and the radiator can be reduced to the limit for having a deformation absorbing ability against thermal deformation of the module during operation, and the thermal resistance can be reduced. Can be reduced. Also, when there are manufacturing tolerances in heatsinks, frames and semiconductor package components, it is possible to easily assemble a semiconductor module with a small thermal resistance without applying unreasonable stress to the electrical contacts of the semiconductor package.

- Semiconductor Corrected Paper (Rule 91)
- the heat generated in the knock 1 is transmitted to the radiator 3 via the replica solder 6, the ceramic plate 7 and the elastomer film 8, and is released outside by the cooling water.
- the semiconductor chip is mounted on a package substrate 16 with solder balls 17 and sealed with a ceramic cap 18. Between the ceramic cap and the ceramic plate 7, a repli-force solder 6 for adjusting the height due to the manufacturing tolerance of the semiconductor package is sandwiched. The variation in height is absorbed by the repli- force solder 6, and the upper portion of the ceramic plate 7 is captured on the same plane. As a result, the distance between the ceramic plate 7 and the radiator 3, that is, the thickness of the elastomer film 8 attached to each semiconductor package can be reduced, and the thermal resistance can be reduced. At this time, if the ceramic plate 7 is made larger than the ceramic cap 18, the protruding solder spreads on the ceramic plate, and the package board is not connected. It is possible to prevent the solder from flowing out toward 16. In addition, at the same time, the ceramic plate 7 functions as a heat diffusion plate, and the thermal resistance can be reduced.
- the module is hermetically sealed by inserting a ring 9 between the radiator and the frame and fastening it with a bolt 10 to prevent corrosion of the semiconductor package. At this time, in order to secure the distance between the radiator and the board with high accuracy, tighten the bolt until the 0-ring is crushed and the radiator and the frame abut.
- the frame 4 Since the frame 4 is fixed to the substrate 2 by soldering and is warped by initial deformation due to processing and thermal deformation due to soldering, when the frame 4 is overlapped with a radiator, a gap of several tens / m is partially formed. May open. If the bolt 10 is tightened as it is, the entire module will be deformed when the gap between the frame and the radiator closes. In order to prevent this deformation, a replica solder 11 is also inserted between the radiator and the frame. Since the upper surface of the frame is in close contact with the radiator by the solder layer, it does not deform when the screws are fastened. The stress on the contacts of the die can be avoided.
- step (8) a heat-curable thermal conductive elastomer is used, and the assembly process is as follows. (1) Solder the frame on the board. (2) Mount the semiconductor package on the board. (3) Join the ceramic board on the semiconductor package with a replica solder. (4) Supply replica solder to the top of the frame. (5) Apply a thermal conductive elastomer on the radiator. (6) Heat the heat sink to harden the elastomer. (7) Place a radiator on the board and heat it, melt the solder, and fill the gap between the frame and the semiconductor package with the radiator. (8) Remove the radiator, insert the 0 ring, and fasten the bolt.
- the radiator should be on a surface that will not wet the solder so that the jacket can be removed.
- the solder melting temperature is also conceivable in which the gap for the elastomer film is opened by the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the radiator and the frame during cooling from room temperature to room temperature.
- the assembly process is as follows. (1) Solder the frame on the board. (2) Mount the semiconductor package on the board. (3) The ceramic plate is joined to the semiconductor package by soldering. (4) Supply the replied solder to the top of the frame. (5) Place a radiator on the board and heat it to melt the replica solder to fill the gap between the frame and the semiconductor package and the radiator.
- the thickness of the elastomer membrane can be adjusted to a very high precision (Rule 91). And can be made uniform.
- the film thickness can be controlled by a similar process.
- the curing of the thermal conductive elastomer and the formation of the replica solder may be performed simultaneously.
- the assembly process is as follows. (1) Solder the frame on the board. (2) Mount the semiconductor package on the board. (3) A ceramic plate is bonded on the semiconductor package with a REPLICA solder. (4) Supply replica solder to the top of the frame. (5) Apply a heat conductive elastomer to the radiator. (6) Heat the radiator. After the heat conductive elastomer is cured, heat the radiator further and place it on the board after the replica solder has melted, filling the gap between the frame and the semiconductor package and the radiator. (7) Remove the heatsink, insert the 0-ring, and tighten the bolt. When using this process, adjust the coefficient of thermal expansion and dimensions of the radiator and frame so that the space between the radiator and the semiconductor package does not increase even after cooling to room temperature after forming the solder. To
- Figure 2 shows the method of applying the thermal conductive elastomer.
- a perforated foil 12 is attached to the radiator 3, an elastomer 14 is applied with a thin plate 13, and then heated and cured.
- the thickness of the elastomer is equal to the thickness of the foil 12, and a flat film having a constant thickness can be formed.
- FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
- the center of gravity of frame 4 of the module has a shape close to the ceramic substrate side. By bringing the center of gravity of the frame closer to the board, warpage deformation when the frame is soldered to the board can be kept small.
- FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
- a semiconductor is mounted as it is on a base. Since the height of the upper surface of the chip varies due to the undulation of the substrate 2, the replica solder 6 is interposed between the heat diffusion plate 7 and the chip, and the height of the heat diffusion plate is made uniform. In this way, the LSI is mounted on a bare chip. Also in this case, by using the present invention, it is possible to increase the cooling performance by making the heat conductive elastomer film thin.
- FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
- This embodiment has a structure in which a heat conductive elastomer film is directly contacted with a replica solder 6 provided on a semiconductor package without using a heat diffusion plate.
- FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
- the upper surface of the semiconductor package 1 and the lower surface of the heat diffusion plate 7 are formed obliquely. Then, the height of the heat spreader can be changed by shifting the position of the heat spreader with respect to the semiconductor package. Therefore, the height variation of the semiconductor package can be absorbed by moving each heat diffusion plate to a position where the height of the upper surface of the heat diffusion plate is uniform and fixing it to the semiconductor package.
- FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of the present invention.
- the height variation of the semiconductor package is absorbed by changing the thickness of the sealing solder 19 of the semiconductor package and the solder 15 of the chip back surface.
- the heat diffusion plate is not used, so it is preferable to increase the size of the semiconductor package so that the cap has the effect of the heat diffusion plate.
- the height variation is absorbed by the sealing solder and the backside solder, it is necessary to increase the amount of supplied solder, and the solder overflows at the time of fixation, so the space for the solder to escape inside the package Need to be provided.
- FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of the present invention, and shows another method for forming an elastomer film.
- the template 21 is applied to the surface of the flat plate 20, and the elastomer 14 is sandwiched between the flat plate 20 and the ceramic plate 7 to form a film having a desired thickness. Heat and cure.

- Figure 9 (a) shows an enlarged view of the surface of the elastomer film formed by the coating method.
- Fig. 9 (b) shows the surface of the film formed by sandwiching it between smooth flat plates. In this case, since the elastomer makes flat contact with the heat transfer surface, the elastic modulus is large from the beginning, and a large force is applied to the contact. Fig.
- FIG. 10 shows another embodiment of the present invention, which shows another method of forming an elastomer film. After forming a smooth film, the film is finely cut with a thin razor-shaped cutter 23 as shown in FIG. By this method, the apparent elastic modulus can be reduced while keeping the surface of the membrane flat.
