摘要:
A semiconductor package is described for supporting and interconnecting semiconductor chips, each chip having contact lands on a contact surface, the package also including a substrate with a contact surface. An interposer module is disposed between at least one chip's contact surface and the substrate's contact surface. The interposer module has first and second opposed surfaces and a first plurality of contact locations positioned on its first surface which mate with a chip's contact land. A second plurality of contact locations on the interposer modules second surface are positioned to mate with contact lands on the substrate. A set of conductive vias are positioned within the interposer module and connect the first plurality of contact locations with a first subset of the second plurality of contact locations. A distributed capacitance layer is positioned within the interposer and is adjacent to its first surface. Adjacent to the second surface are X and Y lines which can be used to make engineering change interconnections.

A hermetic package for an electronic device is manufactured by providing a green glass ceramic body with a green via to produce a workpiece. The workpiece is sintered at a temperature at or above 500.degree. C., while compressing the workpiece at a pressure at or above 100 pounds per square inch, so as to obtain a hermetic package. The green via comprises a mixture of copper and a glass ceramic material with a sufficient volume of glass to produce a hermetic package, yet with sufficient copper to have a suitable electrical conductivity.The hermetic package thus produced comprises a sintered glass ceramic body having an electrically conductive sintered via which is hermetically bonded to the glass ceramic body and which comprises a mixture of an electrically conductive material and a glass ceramic material. The electrically conductive material forms at most 50 volume percent of the via.The workpeice may be sintered in a sintering fixture having a frame and a compensating insert. The compensating insert and frame bound a sintering chamber for accommodating the workpiece. By providing a frame having a thermal expansion coefficient greater than that of the workpiece, and by providing a compensating insert having a thermal expansion coefficient greater than that of the frame, a close fit can be assured between the workpiece and the sintering fixture over a large range of temperatures.

Electrical impedance matching for through plane connections or vias in a multiplane laminated wiring structure is provided by arranging the vias in patterns conforming to a standard characteristic impedance configuration. The pattern may be a five wire configuration with four vias surrounding the fifth and repeated over the area of the plane.

A chip carrying module includes a number of engineering change lines buried below the surface of the module. The engineering change lines are interrupted periodically to provide a set of vias extending up to the upper surface of the module between each set of chips where the vias are connected by dumbbell-shaped pads including a narrow link which permits laser deletion or the like. In addition, the dumbbell-shaped pads are located adjacent to the fan-out pads for the chips. Thus, the fan-out pads can be connected to the dumbbell-shaped pads by means of fly-wires. In addition, individual engineering change lines can be connected together to reach every region of the module by connecting a fly-wire from one dumbbell-shaped pad to another. In addition, by deleting the links at such dumbbell-shaped pads, the engineering change connections are limited to the particular path required.

The top surface metallurgy of LSI chip carriers is improved by multiple and phased interface of metal layers which enable such metallurgies to be suitable for joining by solder reflow and wire bonding techniques. The modifications result in separating the solder bonding metallurgy from the fan-out conductor metallurgy with an intermediate layer of a metal such as Cr or Ti which prevents the formation of intermetallic alloys which are mechanically weak or brittle and tend to fracture because of thermal fatigue stresses caused by thermal cycling during either multiple (up to 50) solder bonding reflow operations or operation of the circuit. The fan-out metallurgy conductors are preferably composed of Cr-Cu-Cr layers covered by at least one upper metal layer which is separated from the Cu of the conductor by means of a metal such as phased layers of Cr or Ti deposited before the other upper metal layer or layers. Solder ball bonding surfaces are composed of additional metal in the form of Au, Cu and Ni. The solderless bonding surfaces are composed of a metal selected from Au, Cr, Ti, Al and Co.

A module carrying microcircuit LSI chips includes stacks of parallel ceramic sheets carrying thin capacitor plates laminated in a ceramic structure in which the capacitor plates either serve (1) as the power distribution conductors known as power planes or (2) are connected to power conducting vias which pass through the capacitor plates. Those vias connect to the appropriate capacitor plates electrically, thereby locating the capacitance required as close as possible to the solder bonds between the chips and the carrier. Stacks of laminated ceramic capacitors serving as power planes can be inserted into slots in laminated ceramic sheets providing the first arrangement above. Signal vias are provided about the periphery of the power planes. A highly parallel distribution of current is provided by means of horizontal power conducting straps which reduce voltage fluctuations, electrical resistance, and current per via.

Methods of fabricating powders of electrically conductive particles supersaturated with grain growth control additives are described. A molten admixture of an electrically conductive material and a grain growth control additive is atomized by spraying an inert atmosphere forming fine molten particles which rapidly cool to form solid particles which are supersaturated with the grain growth control additive. The supersaturated particles are heated to form an electrical conductor having grain sizes less than about 25 microns. The supersaturated particles can be combined with a binder to form an electrical conductor forming paste. Patterns of the paste can be embedded in a green ceramic which can be sintered to form a semiconductor chip packaging substrate having electrical conductors with controlled grain size. During sintering of the combination of ceramic precursor and conductor forming paste, the grain growth control additive results in a substantially void free and crack free via filled with metal having a fine grain morphology.
