A system, method, and computer program product are provided for controlling warping of a substrate. In use, a first solder mask is attached to a top side of a substrate. Additionally, a second solder mask is attached to a bottom side of the substrate, wherein the first solder mask and the second solder mask control warping of the substrate.
摘要:
A gate array is disclosed having a programmable polysilicon layer which serves as both the gate electrodes for MOS transistors and routing lines for some connections between gate electrodes. The gate array structure is formed on a semiconductor substrate and has an array of identical base cells located in a core region of the structure. Each such base cell des the following elements: (1) a plurality of transistors, each of which includes a gate electrode; and (2) one or more gate connection strips formed on the substrate and electrically connecting selected gate electrodes of two or more of the transistors. Preferably, the gate connection strips are made from the same material as the selected gate electrodes (e.g., polysilicon) and are integrally connected therewith. The gate connection strips may patterned (i.e., programmed) to form substrate level routing between gates of various transistors.

Embodiments of the present provide an integrated circuit system, which includes an interposer having a plurality of electrical conductive vias running through the interposer, one or more high-power chips mounted on a first surface of the interposer, wherein the one or more high-power chips generate at least 10 W of heat during normal operation, one or more low-power chips mounted on a second surface of the interposer, wherein the one or more low-power chips generate less than 5 W of heat during normal operation, and the first surface and the second surface are opposite and substantially parallel to each other, and an encapsulating material formed over and configured to encapsulate the one or more high-power chips and the one or more low-power chips. Since low-power chips and high-power chips are respectively mounted on front side and back side of the interposer, the footprint of the interposer and manufacturing cost associated therewith is reduced.

An IC system includes low-power chips, e.g., memory chips, located proximate one or more higher power chips, e.g., logic chips, without suffering the effects of overheating. The IC system may include a high-power chip disposed on a packaging substrate and a low-power chip embedded in the packaging substrate to form a stack. Because portions of the packaging substrate thermally insulate the low-power chip from the high-power chip, the low-power chip can be embedded in the IC system in close proximity to the high-power chip without being over heated by the high-power chip. Such close proximity between the low-power chip and the high-power chip advantageously shortens the path length of interconnects therebetween, which improves device performance and reduces interconnect parasitics in the IC system.
