摘要:
A method of fabricating a chip package is provided, and a chip package fabricated using the same are provided. The method includes connecting a photonic die to a substrate of the chip package and attaching a protection apparatus to the substrate. The method also includes attaching a photonic connector to the photonic die. At least a portion of the photonic connector is disposed inside a housing of the protection apparatus. A fabrication process is performed on the chip package while the photonic connector is inside the housing. After processing, the photonic connector is removed from the housing.

An improved chip package, and methods for fabricating the same are provided that utilize two tier packaging of an optical die and another die commonly disposed over a substrate. In one example, a chip package is provided that includes an optical die, a core die, and an electrical/optical interface die are all disposed over a common substrate. In one example, a first routing region is provided between the core and electrical/optical interface dies, a second routing region is provided between the electrical/optical interface die and the optical dies, and a third routing region is disposed between the substrate and the core and electrical/optical interface dies.

Methods and apparatus are described for heat management in an integrated circuit (IC) package using a lid with recessed areas in the inner surfaces of the lid. The recessed areas (e.g., trenches) provide receptacles for accepting a portion of a thermal interface material (TIM) that may be forced out when the lid is positioned on the TIM above one or more integrated circuit (IC) dies during fabrication of the IC package. In this manner, the TIM bond line thickness (BLT) between the lid and the IC die(s) may be reduced for decreased thermal resistance, but sufficient interfacial adhesion is provided for the IC package with such a lid to avoid TIM delamination.

Chip packages and electronic devices are provided that include a heat sink flexibly interfaced with a die for enhanced temperature control. In one example, a solid state electronic assembly is provided that includes a first integrated circuit (IC) die mounted to a substrate and a heat sink mounted over the first IC die. The heat sink includes a thermally conductive plate and a first thermal carrier. The first thermal carrier has a first end mechanically fixed to the conductive plate. The first thermal carrier has a second end cantilevered from the conductive plate. The second end is in conductive contact with a top surface of the first IC die.

摘要:
Methods and apparatus are described for heat management in an integrated circuit (IC) package using a device with a textured surface having multiple grooves in an otherwise relatively flat surface. The textured surface of the heat management device is designed, in conjunction with a thermal interface material (TIM), to push gas bubbles out of the flat areas such that the gas bubbles are trapped in the grooves or driven out of the interface between the device and the TIM altogether. The area of the grooves is small relative to the ungrooved areas (i.e., the flat areas), such that when the gas bubbles are trapped in the grooved areas, the ungrooved areas work even better for heat transfer. With the area of the regions for the flat portions being substantially greater than the area of the regions for the grooves, the textured heat management device is designed to lower thermal resistance, increase thermal conductivity, and increase heat transfer from one or more IC dies to a heat sink assembly in an IC package.

Implementations described herein generally relate to chip packaging, and in particular, to solder bump structures for a semiconductor device and methods of fabricating the same. In one implementation, a solder bump assembly is provided. The solder bump assembly comprises a conductive bond pad formed on a substrate. A conductive pillar is formed on the conductive bond pad. A plating layer is formed on the conductive pillar, wherein the plating layer comprises copper and nickel. A solder bump is formed on the plating layer in electrical communication with the plating layer. The plating layer may be a bi-layer structure comprising a nickel layer formed on the conductive pillar and a copper layer formed on the nickel layer in electrical communication with the solder bump. The plating layer may be a copper-nickel alloy.

A chip package assembly and method for fabricating the same are provided which utilize a plurality of extra-die heat transfer posts for improved thermal management. In one example, a chip package assembly is provided that includes a first integrated circuit (IC) die mounted to a substrate, a cover disposed over the first IC die, and a plurality of extra-die conductive posts disposed between the cover and substrate. The extra-die conductive posts provide a heat transfer path between the cover and substrate that is laterally outward of the first IC die.

An electronic device is provided that balances the force applied to temperature control elements such that stress within components of the electronic device can be effectively managed. In one example, an electronic device is provided that includes a printed circuit board (PCB), a chip package, a thermal management system, a thermal spreader, and first and second biasing members. The chip package is mounted to the PCB. The thermal management system and spreader are disposed the opposite of the chip package relative to the PCB. The first biasing member is configured to control a first force sandwiching the chip package between the thermal spreader and the PCB. The second biasing member is configured to control a second force applied by the thermal management system against the thermal spreader. The first force can be adjusted separately from the second force so that total forces applied to the chip package and PCB may be effectively balanced.
