  • Patent number: 12183649
    Abstract: A multi-chip unit suitable for chip-level packaging may include multiple IC chips that are interconnected through a metal redistribution structure, and that are directly bonded to an integrated heat spreader. Bonding of the integrated heat spreader to the multiple IC chips may be direct so that no thermal interface material (TIM) is needed, resulting in a reduced bond line thickness (BLT) and lower thermal resistance. The integrated heat spreader may further serve as a structural member of the multi-chip unit, allowing a second side of the redistribution structure to be further interconnected to a host by solder interconnects. The redistribution structure may be fabricated on a sacrificial interposer that may facilitate planarizing IC chips of differing thickness prior to bonding the heat spreader. The sacrificial interposer may be removed to expose the RDL for further interconnection to a substrate without the use of through-substrate vias.

    Abstract: A chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS) semiconductor assembly is formed which includes a chip-on-wafer (CoW) sub-assembly of integrated circuit (IC) dies mounted on an interposer, which is in turn mounted on a package substrate with a top metallization stack and a bottom metallization stack using bonding bumps connecting the backside of the interposer and the front side of the package substrate. The bonding bumps provide electrical connections between the ends of through-vias exposed at the backside of the interposer and the top metallization stack of the package substrate. The likelihood of certain failure mechanisms that can adversely affect CoWoS yield are reduced or eliminated by ensuring a total metal thickness of the top metallization stack is greater than a total metal thickness of the bottom metallization stack, but not so much greater as to induce cracking of the underfill material during curing thereof.
