  • Publication number: 20110285014
    Abstract: A package structure and a package process are proposed in using pillar bumps to connect an upper second chip and through silicon vias of a lower first chip, wherein a gap between the first chip and the second chip can be controlled by adjusting a height of the pillar bumps. In other words, the pillar bumps compensate the height difference between the first chip and a molding compound surrounding the first chip so as to ensure the bondibility between the pillar bumps and the corresponding through silicon vias and improve the process yield. Furthermore, the pillar bumps maintain the gap between the second chip and the molding compound for allowing an underfill being properly filled into the space between the first chip and the second chip.

The thermal sensor and the I/O controller are connected between the microprocessor and the clock generator. The bus switch is connected between the microprocessor and the I/O controller and with the voltage regulator. When the surface temperature of the microprocessor exceeds a predetermined temperature, the system BIOS will immediately issue a command to the I/O controller to automatically lower the external clock and the power source voltage level of the microprocessor. Thereby, the power consumption of the microprocessor can be reduced to lower the surface temperature.
