用于电力总线分配的导电密封圈

CONDUCTIVE SEAL RING FOR POWER BUS DISTRIBUTION
Abstract:
A multi-block semiconductor device includes a first block and a second block operating in different power regimes from each other. A seal ring is around a periphery of the die, hermetically sealing the first and second blocks. The die has a substrate and an insulating layer, the seal ring being on the insulating layer. The seal ring serves as a power bus for the first block but not the second block. The seal ring and first block are electrically coupled to a first ground node, the first ground node being electrically isolated at a die-level from other ground nodes in the multi-block semiconductor device. In some embodiments, the second block is located in a central area of the die, and a plurality of metal lines electrically connect the seal ring to the first block, the metal lines being evenly spaced around a majority of the periphery of the semiconductor die.
