Description
Integrated circuit comprising improved die attachment layer
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is in the field of an integrated circuit (IC) which is attached to a substrate. Thereby an IC-package is formed. Generally, in many IC packages, the devices are situated on top of a substrate. The present invention relates to an integrated circuit comprising a substrate, a die, and an improved die attachment layer, and a method of die bonding, wherein a die is attached to a substrate with a die attachment layer.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is in the field of an integrated circuit (IC) which is attached to a substrate. Thereby an IC-package is formed. Generally, in many IC packages, the devices are situated on top of a substrate. The substrate may serve as a physical interconnection between the devices and a board in a system. Sometimes this is referred to as embedded packaging. The purpose is to embed dies inside or on the substrate using a multi-step manufacturing process. A die, multiple dies, MEMS or passives may be embedded in a side-by-side fashion in the core of an organic laminate substrate. The components can be connected using copper-plated vias. Three broad categories in IC packaging may be mentioned, namely lead-frame, wafer-level packaging (WLP), and substrate. The present invention makes in particular use of a substrate. Substrate-based packages may fall into several categories, such as ceramic and organic laminate packages. Ceramic substrates can be based on aluminium oxide, aluminium nitride and other materials. Ceramic-based packages can be used for surface-mount devices, CMOS image sensors and multi-chip modules. Organic laminate substrates can be used for volumetric devices, flip-chip devices, and system-in-packages (SiPs). For these packages, the devices reside on top of the substrate. Such substrates may use similar or identical materials as a printed-circuit board (PCB). Organic substrates may also be multi-layer technologies, where at least two organic layers are separated by a metal layer. The metal layers act as an electromigration shield in the package.
Typically, in a conventional die-attach process, only one die-attach material is used to attach die on to the substrate. In an alternative solution of wafer level chip scale packaging (WLCSP) technology, a die is connected to a substrate, which is then referred to as leadframe, via. bumps while the free space in between the bumps (solder, Cu, etc.) and the die-edges and corners are filled with a (soft) tough material, which is called underfill.
One of the most common failures of electronic packages is fracture of die and die-attach materials as can be visualized during reliability testing such as by thermal cycling (TMCL). During TMCL, the package may undergo thermal cycling from low temperatures (<0°C) to high temperatures (>100°C), and back. Quite often a fracture (or crack) is found at the corner of the die (or substrate), and it can propagates in different regions within the package. Also, fracture may occur as a consequence of poor package design, and of external factors, such as humidity-

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the invention to overcome one or more limitations of the integrated circuits of the prior art and at the very least to provide an alternative thereto. The present invention relates to a new type of integrated circuit comprising a substrate (10), on the substrate an attachment layer (20), and on the attachment layer a die (30), characterized in that the die attachment layer comprises at least one first region (21) comprising a first attachment material and at least one second region (22) comprising a second attachment material different from the first attachment material, wherein the at least one first region is located centrally on the substrate, wherein the at least one second region is located eccentric, such as at a side, at a part of a side, or at a comer. The at least one first region comprises a material with a thermal conductivity of > 100 W/(m*K), the at least one second region preferably comprises a material with a thermal conductivity of > 40 W/(m*K) . The area of the at least one first region is 66-99% with respect to the bottom area of the die. The at least one first region (21) comprises a die-attach material comprising at least one metal. Therewith at least mechanical and material properties, such as (visco)elastic properties, of the respective elements (e.g. substrate, die, and attachment layer), and thermal coefficient of expansion can be matched to one and another much better. It is noted that typically a die attachment layer may have good (visco)elastic properties, which allow to mitigate stresses, but provides limited thermal conductivity, which may cause the die or part thereof to become to warm, or vice versa. By carefully selecting respective attachment materials a much better match in view of the (visco)elastic properties and thermal conductivity properties of the respective elements can be made. It is noted that the inner die attachment material (IDA) and outer die attachment material (ODA) are considered to be viscoplastic/Viscoelastic, which both have a time and temperature dependency, in nature and not being elastic, which is considered time and temperature independent. It is also considered that the die and substrate are elastic in nature. With the present invention stress is mitigated. For instance, in an embodiment the present integrated circuit comprises a substrate 10 with a first thermal coefficient of expansion (TCEi), wherein thermal coefficients relate to linear expansion, on the substrate an attachment layer 20, and on the attachment layer a die 30 with a second thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE2), characterized in that the die attachment layer comprises at least one first region 21 with a third thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE3) and at least one second region 22 with a fourth thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE4), wherein the first region may be considered the inner region and the second region the outer region, wherein the at least one first region is located centrally on the substrate, which may be considered as inner die, wherein the at least one second region is located eccentric, such as at a side, at a part of a side, or at a corner, which may be considered as outer die, wherein the values of the respective third thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE3) and fourth thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE4) are each individually in between the values of the first thermal coefficient of expansion (TCEi) and the second thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE2). It is noted that typically the thermal coefficient of expansion of
the substrate TCEi is larger than the thermal coefficient of expansion of the die TCE2, but sometimes TCE2>TCEI). Typically the TCEs are taken at room temperature (about 20 °C). The present invention relate to a combination of at least two die-attach materials to attach the die onto a substrate, which helps in preventing package failures, especially failures occurring close to the die corner, and failures or lack of control that appear over time when the IC is used under operating conditions. The first die-attach material is typically provided under a more central region of the die, such as except under the corner regions thereof. The second die-attach material may then occupy the corner and edges of the die. The second (or corner) die-attach material may further a lower modulus, a TCE closer to that of the substrate (s), and a high toughness. It is thus found that a combination of two die-attach materials to attach the die on to a substrate helps in preventing the package failures especially occurring close to the die corner. The first die-attach material is under the entire region of the die except the corner regions. The second die-attach material occupies the comer and edges of the die. Thermal conductivities may be measured using a standard test, such as ASTM 5334, IEEE 442, such as by using a TEMPOS machine. Some examples of designs of the two die-attach materials are shown in the figures, such as in figs. 5a-e. The figures show application of the die attachment material on the substrate before actual attachment of the die; once the die is attached the attachment material spreads out over a surface of the substrate and likewise die. Dot-like application of the second material is preferred, as a risk of gas entrapment is reduced. In an alternative embodiment, the present integrated circuit may comprise at least one first region (21) with a first elastic modulus (EMi), and at least one second region (22) with a second elastic modulus (EM2), wherein the first elastic modulus (EMi) of the at least one first region is higher than the second elastic modulus (EM2) of the at least one second region, and preferably wherein the first elastic modulus (EMi) of the at least one first region is lower than an elastic modulus of the die, and preferably wherein the second elastic modulus (EM2) of the at least one second region is higher than an elastic modulus of the substrate. The respective elastic moduli each individually are both selected from a Young’s modulus, a bulk modulus, viscoelastic modulus, and/or a volumetric modulus, that is are both of the same type. The elastic modulus, such as the Young’s modulus, is typically expressed in GPa, and may be determined using a standard test, such as EN 10002-1, ASTM E8 and ASTM El 11, e.g. using an Ametek. It is noted that inaccuracies in testing in practice do not matter much, as the present invention is more concerned with relative values (between elements) than absolute values. Even further the two above embodiments may be combined. In view thereof it is noted that the terms “higher” and “larger” typically relate to more than 5% higher or larger (or likewise lower and smaller), in particular 10-250% larger, more in particular 20-150% larger; this is applicable for both the EM and the TCE, in each individual case.
The at least one second region comprises a die-attach material selected from heat assisted attach materials, pressure-based attach materials, pressure-less attach materials, thermohardening attach materials, such as epoxy resins, curing attach materials, polymer based attach materials, resin based attach materials, fibres, nanoparticles, and combinations thereof, in particular wherein the die-attach material comprises a dielectric material, in particular particles of dielec-
trie material, embedded in a matrix of polymeric material. The second region comprises a die- attach material which may be considered to be more polymeric based, whereas the first region comprises a die-attach material which is mainly metal based; the two materials are therefore considerably different.
In a second aspect the present invention relates to a method for die bonding comprising providing a substrate with a first thermal coefficient of expansion (TCEi), providing an attachment layer with at least one first region with a third thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE3) and at least one second region with a fourth thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE4) on the substrate, and attaching a die, with a second thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE2), to the attachment layer, wherein the values of the respective third thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE3) and fourth thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE4) are each individually in between the values of the first thermal coefficient of expansion (TCEi) and the second thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE2), and wherein the value of the fourth thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE4) is in between the values of the third thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE3) and the first thermal coefficient of expansion (TCEi). Therewith the present integrated circuit can be obtained. Typically the first inner die-attach material is dispensed, printed (e.g. stencil) or applied as a preform film, and the second outer die-attach is deposited via non-contact deposition technology at the corner areas of the die (e.g. via dispensing). These steps may be interchanged. So typical dispensing and printing processes can be used to achieve any die-attach designs. No special equipment’ s is therefore needed. Then, using e.g. a die-bonder machine, the die may be placed on the two die-attachment materials and pushed such that the two materials will spread out and cover an entire area under the die. The inner die material (IDA) will typically cover the entire area under the die except the die edges and corners, whereas the outer die material (ODA) will then cover the edges and corners. The IDA and ODA regions typically touch one and another, and some, typically minor or no, mixing of the two materials may occur there. It is found that as such the ODA material can absorb the thermo-mechanical stresses while the IDA material provides for thermal and electrical paths. In comparison, for conventional WLCSP technology, the bumps serve as electrical and thermal path while the underfill material absorbs the stresses.
In view of viscoelasticity the following is noted. Unlike purely elastic substances, a viscoelastic substance has an elastic component and a viscous component. The viscosity of a viscoelastic substance gives the substance a strain rate dependence on time. Purely elastic materials do not dissipate energy (heat) when a load is applied, then removed. However, a viscoelastic substance dissipates energy when a load is applied, then removed. Hysteresis is observed in the stress-strain curve, with the area of the loop being equal to the energy lost during the loading cycle. Since viscosity is the resistance to thermally activated plastic deformation, a viscous material will lose energy through a loading cycle. Plastic deformation results in lost energy, which is uncharacteristic of a purely elastic material's reaction to a loading cycle.
The present invention provides a solution to one or more of the above mentioned problems and overcomes drawbacks of the prior art.
Advantages of the present description are detailed throughout the description.
