摘要:
Application of a potential difference across a doped region formed on an integrated circuit allows management of thermal energy directly on the chip surface. Individual temperature control cells are formed by ion implanting N- and P-type dopant into adjacent regions, and then forming a metal bridge across the similarly positioned ends. Placing a potential drop across metal contacts of the cell changes the temperature of the contacts relative to that of the electrically conducting bridge. Fabrication of arrays of temperature control cells of various shapes and sizes permits extremely precise heating and cooling of specific regions of the integrated circuit. Management of thermal energy on the IC in accordance with the present invention may be enhanced by forming arrays of temperature control cells possessing multiple tiers.

A plurality of n-type bar-shaped devices (51) consisting of an n-type thermoelectric semiconductor and a plurality of p-type bar-shaped devices (52) consisting of a p-type thermoelectric semiconductor are regularly disposed or fixed through an insulating layer (50) to form a thermoelectric device block (53). End portions of the n-type bar shaped device (51) and the p-type bar-shaped device (52) are connected with an interconnection conductor (58a) on an upper surface (53a) and a lower surface (53b), which will be interconnecting end faces of the thermoelectric device block (53), to form a plurality of thermocouples connected in series. In addition, a pair of terminal conductors (58b, 58b) which is electrically connected with bar-shaped devices (51a, 52a) at least on one end portion and the other end portion of the n-type and p-type bar-shaped devices (51, 52) connected in series is formed on end face (53c) excluding the upper surface (53a) and the lower surface (53b) which will be an interconnecting end face of the thermoelectric device block (53), and a lead wire is connected to the terminal conductors (58b, 58b).

Integrated circuit device packages and substrates for making the packages are disclosed. One embodiment of a substrate includes a planar sheet of polyimide having a first surface, an opposite second surface, and apertures between the first and second surfaces. A planar metal die pad and planar metal are attached to the second surface of the polyimide sheet. The apertures in the polyimide sheet are juxtaposed to the leads. A package made using the substrate includes an integrated circuit device mounted above the first surface of the polyimide sheet opposite the die pad. Bond wires are connected between the integrated circuit device and the leads through the apertures in the polyimide sheet. An encapsulant material covers the first surface of the polyimide sheet, the integrated circuit device, the bond wires, and the apertures. The die pad and leads are exposed at an exterior surface of the package.

An electronic circuit package having a wiring substrate, at least two semiconductor chips and a bus line. All the semiconductor chips to be connected by means of the bus line are bare chip packaged on a wiring substrate, and the semiconductor chips and the wiring substrate are connected by wiring bonding between wire bonding pads formed on the semiconductor chips and the wiring substrate. The wiring substrate may be a multilayered substrate. Preferably, there is an insulating layer partially formed on the surface of the multilayer wiring substrate and a die bonding ground formed on the surface of the insulating layer, in order to use a portion of the multilayer wiring substrate under the die bonding ground as a wiring or a via hole region, and at least one of the semiconductor chips is formed on the die bonding ground. The bus line preferably includes two data bus lines, the semiconductor chips connected with one data bus line are formed on one side of the wiring substrate and the semiconductor chips connected with the other data bus line are formed on the other side of the wiring substrate.
摘要:
A chip mount structure called “subcarrier” and semiconductor device capable of efficiently retaining the temperature of a semiconductor element at a constant level by a Peltier cooler without degrading the signal transmission characteristics of a module even when the atmospheric environment for use in the module changes in outside air temperature are provided. The subcarrier includes an element support unit that is high in thermal conductivity and also an element wiring unit of low thermal conductivity. Increasing the thermal conductivity of element support unit makes it possible to provide superior heat conduction between the semiconductor element and Peltier cooler whereas decreasing the element wiring unit's thermal conductivity enables elimination of radiation and absorption or exchange of heat from the top and side surfaces thereof, which in turn leads to an ability to greatly suppress or minimize the thermal load relative to the Peltier cooler.
