発明を実施するための最良の形態 BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0008] 以下、本発明の実施の形態を図面を参照して詳しく説明する。なお、図面において 実質的に同一の部分には同じ参照符号を付してその説明は繰り返さない。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, substantially the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will not be repeated.
[0009] <半導体装置の概略構成〉 <Schematic Configuration of Semiconductor Device>
本発明の実施形態による半導体装置の構成例を図 1に示す。本実施形態による半 導体装置は、半導体パッケージ内に 2つ以上の半導体チップを有するマルチチップ 型半導体装置である。半導体チップの配置は、並列配置型や積層配置型の構成が ある力 S、図 1では並列配置型を記載している。 A configuration example of a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. The semiconductor device according to the present embodiment is a multi-chip type semiconductor device having two or more semiconductor chips in a semiconductor package. The arrangement of the semiconductor chips is a force S having a parallel arrangement type and a stacked arrangement type, and FIG. 1 shows the parallel arrangement type.
[0010] 半導体パッケージと半導体チップの接続は、半導体パッケージのリードフレームと 半導体チップのパッドとで電気的にワイヤボンディングで接続される構成になってお り、半導体チップ同士の接続は、半導体チップのパッドをワイヤボンディングで電気 的に接続する構成 (レ、わゆる MCMの構成)になって!/、る。 [0010] The connection between the semiconductor package and the semiconductor chip is configured such that the lead frame of the semiconductor package and the pad of the semiconductor chip are electrically connected by wire bonding. The pad is electrically connected by wire bonding (L, so-called MCM configuration)!
[0011] 本実施形態による半導体装置は、パッケージ内のある半導体チップ (第 1半導体チ ップ 1-01)のある機能を、所定の各種条件下で、別の半導体チップ (第 2半導体チップ 1-02)内のある領域 (1-03)に移したり、移した機能を共有化したりすることを特徴として いる。 [0011] The semiconductor device according to the present embodiment allows a certain semiconductor chip (first semiconductor chip 1-01) in a package to function with another semiconductor chip (second semiconductor chip 1) under various predetermined conditions. -02) is moved to a certain area (1-03), and the transferred functions are shared.
[0012] 移す機能は、項目として容量素子、抵抗素子、静電耐圧保護回路、電源間保護回 路、電気ヒューズ素子、電源配線、ダミーセル、遅延セル、予備回路、テスト回路があ り、詳細については後に詳細に説明する。 [0012] Functions to be transferred include capacitive elements, resistance elements, electrostatic withstand voltage protection circuits, protection circuits between power supplies, electrical fuse elements, power supply wiring, dummy cells, delay cells, spare circuits, and test circuits. Will be described in detail later.
[0013] なお、移設元及び移設先の半導体チップは 1つには限定されない。パッケージ内
に 3つ以上の半導体チップが存在する構成の場合には、複数の移設元から複数の 移設先へ機能を移すこともありえる。 Note that the transfer source and transfer destination semiconductor chips are not limited to one. In package If there are three or more semiconductor chips, the functions can be transferred from multiple transfer sources to multiple transfer destinations.
[0014] <機能を移す条件〉 [0014] <Conditions for transferring functions>
次に、機能を移す条件にっレ、て以下に列挙して!/、く。 Next, list the conditions below to transfer the functions!
[0015] (条件 1) [0015] (Condition 1)
第 2半導体チップ 1-02が IOリツソク (IOセル配置領域でチップサイズが決定する)状 態となりチップ内部に空き領域を有する場合、第 1半導体チップ 1-01から第 2半導体 チップ 1-02の当該空き領域へ機能を移す。 If the second semiconductor chip 1-02 is in the IO risk state (chip size is determined by the IO cell placement area) and has a free area inside the chip, the first semiconductor chip 1-01 to the second semiconductor chip 1-02 Move function to the free space.
[0016] IOリツソクは多機能なシステムを 1チップに集約すること (SOC)で外部ピンに接続す る IOセルが多数存在するときに起こる。また、拡散プロセスの微細化により、半導体 チップの内部デジタル回路が縮小化する力 s、 ioセルは特性を維持するために縮小 化できない場合にも起こる。半導体チップ内部回路が少なぐ IOセルが多いとチップ 外周に配置するだけで縦横のチップ辺が決まってしまう。さらに、パッケージ組立て による IOセル配置制約 (パッケージ内のワイヤショートを防止するためにワイヤ流れが 起きても問題なレ、よう IOセル間を広げておく制約)、またはプローブ検査テスト時の針 当てによる IOセル配置制約 (プローブ検査時に検査装置の針を半導体チップパッド ヘプローブする際、検査装置の形状上、針あてができなくなるため、物理的に IOセ ル間を広げておく制約)によって、さらにリツソクサイズに影響する。 [0016] IO Ritsoku occurs when there are many IO cells connected to external pins by consolidating a multifunctional system on one chip (SOC). This also occurs when the internal sig- nal of the semiconductor chip is reduced due to the miniaturization of the diffusion process, and the io cell cannot be reduced in order to maintain its characteristics. When there are many IO cells with few internal circuits on the semiconductor chip, the vertical and horizontal chip sides are determined simply by placing them on the outer periphery of the chip. In addition, IO cell placement restrictions due to package assembly (restrictions that cause a problem even if wire flow occurs in order to prevent wire shorts in the package, restrictions that allow the IO cells to be widened), or due to needle contact during probe inspection tests Due to IO cell placement restrictions (when the probe of the inspection device is probed to the semiconductor chip pad at the time of probe inspection, the needle cannot be applied due to the shape of the inspection device, so that the IO cells are physically widened) Affects.
[0017] (条件 2) [0017] (Condition 2)
第 2半導体チップ 1-02が、拡散工程の歩留まり改善目的で、マスクレイヤの面積率 確保のため、チップ内部に空き領域が必要な構成を持つ場合、第 1半導体チップ 1- 01から第 2半導体チップ 1-02の当該空き領域へ機能を移す。 If the second semiconductor chip 1-02 has a configuration that requires an empty area in the chip to secure the area ratio of the mask layer for the purpose of improving the yield of the diffusion process, the first semiconductor chip 1-01 to the second semiconductor Move the function to the free space in chip 1-02.
[0018] マスク拡散工程のウェハー研磨時にマスクレイヤの面積率 (半導体チップ面積に占 めるマスクレイヤ面積の割合)が少なすぎたり、多すぎたりする場合、研磨での膜厚の ノ ラつきが生じ、プロセス特性が目標値から外れる場合がある。それを回避するため に、レイアウト設計時に面積率を守る必要がある。 占積率が規定値より大きい場合、こ の面積率を守るためにチップ内部の面積に何も配置しない領域を確保する場合があ る。例えば、メモリ (Flash, SRAM, ROM, DRAM)のゲート (ポリシリコン)の面積率を下げ
るために、空き領域を確保する。この空き領域にゲート面積の小さいスタンダードセ ルを入れて機能を移す。 [0018] When the mask layer area ratio (ratio of the mask layer area occupied in the semiconductor chip area) is too small or too large during wafer polishing in the mask diffusion process, there is a difference in film thickness in polishing. And process characteristics may deviate from target values. In order to avoid this, it is necessary to keep the area ratio during layout design. When the space factor is larger than the specified value, there may be a case where an area where nothing is arranged in the area inside the chip is secured in order to protect this area ratio. For example, reducing the area ratio of the gate (polysilicon) of memory (Flash, SRAM, ROM, DRAM) Therefore, a free area is secured. Put the standard cell with a small gate area in this empty area and transfer the function.
[0019] (条件 3) [Condition 3]
第 2半導体チップ 1-02が、チップ内部のマクロセルの配置形状によって発生する空 き領域が必要な構成を持つ場合、第 1半導体チップ 1-01から第 2半導体チップ 1-02 の当該空き領域へ機能を移す。 When the second semiconductor chip 1-02 has a configuration that requires an empty area generated by the arrangement shape of the macro cell inside the chip, the first semiconductor chip 1-01 to the empty area of the second semiconductor chip 1-02 Move function.
[0020] 半導体チップは、 SOCにより大規模化され多数のマクロセル (ロジックマクロ、メモリ 、アナログ)を搭載する傾向にある。さらに大規模な半導体チップの製造コストを削減 するため、拡散プロセスの微細化を取り入れる。そうなると、デジタル回路は縮小化さ れるカ アナログ回路は特性上縮小化困難であるため、巨大アナログマクロが多数 占める半導体チップができる。そのような半導体チップをレイアウト設計する場合、巨 大マクロ間に空き領域ができてしまう。この空き領域に機能を移す。 [0020] Semiconductor chips are scaled up by SOC and tend to have a large number of macro cells (logic macro, memory, analog). In order to reduce the manufacturing cost of large-scale semiconductor chips, miniaturization of the diffusion process will be adopted. If this happens, the digital circuit will be scaled down. Because the analog circuit is difficult to scale down due to its characteristics, a semiconductor chip with a large number of huge analog macros will be created. When such a semiconductor chip is designed for layout, an empty area is created between large macros. Move functions to this free space.
[0021] (条件 4) [0021] (Condition 4)
第 2半導体チップ 1-02が、第 1半導体チップ 1-01に比べ、製造プロセスサイズが大 きい、もしくは、拡散レイヤが少ない理由により、製造コストが安価である構成を持つ 場合、第 1半導体チップ 1-01から第 2半導体チップ 1-02へ機能を移す。 If the second semiconductor chip 1-02 has a configuration with a lower manufacturing cost due to a larger manufacturing process size or fewer diffusion layers than the first semiconductor chip 1-01, the first semiconductor chip The function is transferred from 1-01 to the second semiconductor chip 1-02.
[0022] 製造プロセスが小さくなるとそのための拡散装置や検査装置の投資が必要になり、 1ウェハーあたりの製造コストが高くなる。多層配線や DRAM混載プロセス等で拡散 レイヤが増えるとマスクのレチクル枚数が増加し、拡散過程も増加するため、 1ウエノ、 一あたりの製造コストが高くなる。また、製造プロセスが小さいと拡散層が増加する傾 向にある。 [0022] As the manufacturing process becomes smaller, it becomes necessary to invest in a diffusion device and an inspection device for that purpose, and the manufacturing cost per wafer increases. As the number of diffusion layers increases due to multi-layer wiring and DRAM mixed processes, the number of mask reticles increases and the diffusion process also increases, which increases the manufacturing cost per wafer. In addition, the diffusion layer tends to increase if the manufacturing process is small.
[0023] (条件 5) [0023] (Condition 5)
第 2半導体チップ 1-02が、第 1半導体チップ 1-01に比べ、製造プロセスサイズが大 きい (フォトグラフィー寸法が大きい)ことにより、マスクのレチクル費が安価である構成 を持つ場合、第 1半導体チップ 1-01から第 2半導体チップ 1-02へ機能を移す。 If the second semiconductor chip 1-02 has a configuration in which the mask reticle cost is low due to a larger manufacturing process size (larger photographic dimensions) than the first semiconductor chip 1-01, The function is transferred from the semiconductor chip 1-01 to the second semiconductor chip 1-02.
[0024] プロセスの微細化により、マスク製作装置及びマスク出来上がり検査装置の費用が 上がっており、マスクのレチクル費もそれに合わせて高価になっている。このため、半 導体チップ内の不具合修正時のマスク費用が問題になってきている。
[0025] (条件 6) With the miniaturization of the process, the cost of the mask manufacturing apparatus and the mask completion inspection apparatus has increased, and the mask cost of the mask has increased accordingly. For this reason, the mask cost when correcting defects in the semiconductor chip has become a problem. [Condition 6]
第 2半導体チップ 1-02が、第 1半導体チップ 1-01に比べ、オフリーク電流の少ない 構成を持つ場合、第 1半導体チップ 1-01から第 2半導体チップ 1-02へ機能を移す。 When the second semiconductor chip 1-02 has a configuration with less off-leakage current than the first semiconductor chip 1-01, the function is transferred from the first semiconductor chip 1-01 to the second semiconductor chip 1-02.
[0026] 携帯電話は、待機電力を抑えることが重要であり、そのためにオフリーク電流を小さ く抑える必要がある。そこで、オフリーク電流を製造プロセス (Vt調整)や基盤制御等 により抑えている。オフリークを抑えたい機能を第 2半導体チップ 1-02へ移すことで待 機電力を小さく抑えることが可能になる。 [0026] In mobile phones, it is important to reduce standby power, and for that purpose, it is necessary to keep off-leakage current small. Therefore, the off-leakage current is suppressed by the manufacturing process (Vt adjustment) and substrate control. It is possible to reduce the standby power by moving the function that wants to suppress off-leakage to the second semiconductor chip 1-02.
[0027] (条件 7) [0027] (Condition 7)
