This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201710113267.5, filed on Feb. 28, 2017, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
This application relates to the field of electronics, and more specifically, to a chip packaging system.
In a system-level chip package, multiple chips and a passive component are packaged and integrated into a structure of a small size. This dramatically improves functionality. However, a heat dissipation issue of the package becomes more critical than that of a package with a single chip. First, because of different power consumption, different chips may have different temperatures when working. Heat transfers from a chip with a higher temperature to a chip with a lower temperature, causing thermal crosstalk between chips. Because different chips have different working temperature requirements, thermal crosstalk possibly causes that a temperature of a chip with a low allowable working temperature exceeds an allowable value, resulting in damage to the chip. Therefore, a necessary measure needs to be taken to mitigate the problem of crosstalk between chips. Second, as a quantity of chips in a package increases, heat generated in a working process of the chips in the package increases greatly. To control a temperature of a chip to be within an allowable range, how to effectively conduct heat from inside of a package to outside is an unavoidable issue.
This application provides a chip packaging system, which can reduce thermal crosstalk between chips within a package while improving a heat dissipation capability of a particular chip.
According to a first aspect, a chip packaging system is provided, including multiple chips, a substrate, a heat dissipating component, and at least one thermoelectric refrigeration chip, where
a heat dissipating ring and a heat dissipating lid are provided on the heat dissipating component, one end of the heat dissipating ring is secured to the substrate, and the other end, opposite to the end secured to the substrate, of the heat dissipating ring is secured to the heat dissipating lid to support the heat dissipating lid; and the multiple chips are disposed in space enclosed by the substrate, the heat dissipating ring, and the heat dissipating lid, and all of the multiple chips are separated each other by using a thermal insulation material or by air; and
each of the at least one thermoelectric refrigeration chip is disposed above one of the multiple chips, one surface of each thermoelectric refrigeration chip is a hot end and the other surface thereof is a cold end, where the cold end of each thermoelectric refrigeration chip is disposed on a side close to the multiple chips and is configured to absorb heat of the chips, and the hot end of each thermoelectric refrigeration chip is configured to conduct, by using the hot end, the heat absorbed by the cold end.
Therefore, in an embodiment of this application, the multiple chips are enclosed in independent space, and different chips of the multiple chips are separated by using the thermal insulation material or by air. In addition, a thermoelectric refrigeration chip is disposed on a particular chip of the multiple chips, to improve a heat dissipation capability of the particular chip while overcoming crosstalk between chips. This effectively resolves a problem that heat generation by a chip affects the chip itself.
Optionally, in an implementation of the first aspect, the multiple chips include a first chip and a second chip, one end of the first chip is secured to the substrate, and the other end, opposite to the end secured to the substrate, of the first chip is secured to a first heat dissipating area of the heat dissipating lid, and one end of the second chip is secured to the substrate, and the other end, opposite to the end secured to the substrate, of the second chip is secured to a second heat dissipating area of the heat dissipating lid.
