Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a package structure stacking chips on a front surface and a back surface of a substrate. More specifically, the present invention relates to a structure of ball grid array package stacking chips on a front surface and a back surface of a substrate.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Recently, an integrated circuit plays an important role in our daily life. Many products obtained from integrated circuit devices are always used. With increasing development in electronics, electronic products having humanized operation and higher performance are available. However, various products are designed such that the features, such as lesser weight and compact size, are provided for comfortable use. In the semiconductor fabricating process, a semiconductor product having higher integration is available because of mass production of the 0.18 micrometer integrated circuit.
- In general, the production of an integrated circuit (IC) includes three stages: silicon wafer production, semiconductor process and IC packaging.
- Various technologies for IC packaging have been developed due to competition in the market. Many high-density packages such as chip scale package (CSP), wafer level package or multiple chip module (MCM) are manufactured. In device assembly, a multi-level PCB having higher density can be used to allow the IC packaging to be arranged on the PCB more compactly.
- The current IC packaging for the integrated circuit has been developed to incorporated a Read Only Memory (ROM), a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), a flash memory or a Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), a Logic Circuit, and a digital circuit into a chip, known as System On Chip (SOC) to satisfy the demand for light weight, compact size and perfect performance. An embedded ROM is one embodiment of the circuit having both a flash memory and a logic circuit.
- However, in the conventional system on chip (SOC), a plurality of chips, such as DRAM, flash memory, Logic Circuit and radio frequency (RF) devices, are incorporated into a chip. Although the functionality and electric property thereof can be thus enhanced, it is more complicated to design a layout in circuit connection. Since the fabrication methods for devices having various functions are different from each other, the fabrication for devices having various functions becomes complex, resulting in reduced yield and increased cost of fabrication.
- One way to solve the above captioned problems is to adopt stacked chips that are usually used in a ball grid array package, for example, to increase the capacity of memory.
- Referring to FIG. 1, a cross sectional view of a conventional package structure is shown.
- As shown in FIG. 1, a
first chip 106 is deposited on asubstrate 102, and asecond chip 108 is stacked on thefirst chip 106. Thefirst chip 106 and thesecond chip 108 are adhered by aglue layer 104. Wire bonding is then performed to electrically connect thefirst chip 106 and thesecond chip 108 to thesubstrate 102 bywires substrate 102, thefirst chip 106, thesecond chip 108 and thewires mold compound 114. Finally,solder balls 112 are mounted on thesubstrate 102 to complete a ball grid array package (BAG). - However, the first chip must be much larger than the second chip in BGA, with difference of the lengths of the first chip and the second chip being at least 0.3 mm. If the difference is smaller than 0.3 mm, wire bonding cannot be performed or the second chip contacts the
wire 110 a. - Referring to FIG. 2, a cross sectional view of a conventional flip chip package is shown.
- As shown in FIG. 2, U.S. Pat. No. 5,801,072 discloses a
substrate 202 having afront surface 201 and aback surface 203 opposite to thefront surface 201. Afirst chip 206 is deposited on thefront surface 201 of thesubstrate 202, and asecond chip 208 is correspondingly deposited on theback surface 203 of thesubstrate 202. Thefirst chip 206 and thesecond chip 208 are provided on thesubstrate 202 by flip chip technology and have substantially the same size. Thefirst chip 206 is encapsulated with amold compound 214. Finally,solder balls 212 are mounted on theback surface 203 of thesubstrate 202 to complete a package. - In such package, only the
first chip 206 is provided on only thefront surface 201 of thesubstrate 202 by flip chip technology and relatively limited performance for the integration of the chips. - Referring to FIGS. 3A and 3B, a top view and cross sectional view of another conventional multiple chip module are shown. FIG. 3B is a cross sectional view of FIG. 3A along3B-3B.
- As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, a multiple chip module (MCM) package is disclosed. A
main chip 305, afirst chip 306 and asecond chip 308 are arranged side-by-side on asubstrate 302. The connection of themain chip 305, thefirst chip 306 and thesecond chip 308 to thesubstrate 302 is achieved by aglue layer 304. Wire bonding is subsequently performed to electrically connect themain chip 305, thefirst chip 306 and thesecond chip 308 to thesubstrate 302 bywires 310. Thesubstrate 302, themain chip 305, thefirst chip 306, thesecond chip 308 and thewires 310 are encapsulated with amold compound 314. Finally, solder balls are mounted on thesubstrate 302 to complete a multiple chip module package. - The main characteristic for a conventional multiple chip module package structure is to integrate devices having multiple functions into a package. Because the area occupied by the devices is large so as to make routability of the
substrate 302 complicated, asubstrate 302 having high trace density is thus desirably used. The side-by-side arrangement of themain chip 305, thefirst chip 306 and thesecond chip 308 influences adversely the amount of chips that can be accommodated in the multiple chip module package, therefore resulting in lowered integration, increased production cost and reduced performance. - It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a package structure stacking chips having substantially the same size on the front surface and the back surface of the substrate.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a package structure which integrates chips having substantially the same size in various directions on the front surface and the back surface of the substrate.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a package structure integrating chips having substantially the same size in various directions, in which the front surface of the substrate is subject to wire bonding and the back surface thereof is subject to a flip chip process.
- It is still another object of the present invention to provide a package structure integrating chips having substantially the same size in various directions, in which multiple chips are stacked on the front and back surfaces without changing the dimensions of the original package.
- According to the above objects of the present invention, a package structure stacking multiple chips on a front surface and a back surface of a substrate comprises at least a substrate, a plurality of chip sets, a plurality of support members, a plurality of glue layers, a plurality of wires, a plurality of flip chips and a mold compound. The substrate has a front surface and a back surface opposite to the front surface. A plurality of chip sets comprises one or more chips having a plurality of bonding pads, while stacking on the front surface of the substrate as a laminate. A plurality of support members are arranged between each two adjacent chip sets. The connections between the support members, the chip sets, and the substrate are achieved by a plurality of glue layers. Chip sets are electrically connected to each other or to the substrate. Finally, the front surface of the substrate, the support members, the chip sets, and the glue layers are encapsulated with a mold compound. Moreover, a plurality of flip chips are deposited on the back surface of the substrate.
- According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a package structure having stacked chips on the front surface and back surface of the substrate is provided. By stacking chips having substantially the same size, such structure not only decreases the area occupied by the package devices, but also has more effective routability on the substrate without use of the substrate having high trace density. Thus, more stacked chips can be packaged in the multiple chip module. This leads to improved integration, reduced production cost and enhanced performance. The package structure of the present invention is to integrate chips having substantially the same size in various directions, in which the front surface of the substrate is subject to wire bonding and the back surface thereof is subject to flip chip process. The simultaneous integration of chips on the front surface in vertical and transverse directions can be achieved without changing the dimensions of the original package. That is, the chips on the front surface and the back surface have substantially the same size with a deviation within 0.3 mm, such that the chips are arranged compactly. Such structure doesn't encounter the limitations of the prior art.
