This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority of the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2020-82259, filed on May 7, 2020, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The technology disclosed in the present application relates to an electronic device.
There have been substrates each including a base and a plurality of externally mounting terminals formed on a lower surface of the base and bonded to a mounting substrate via solder.
In this substrate, the plurality of externally mounting terminals includes sub-electrode terminals. When a circle circumscribing the sub-electrode terminals is defined in plan view of the base, all of the externally mounting terminals are included in the circle, and circular tangent parts, which are parts in contact with the circle, of the sub-electrode terminals, extend along a circumference and are provided facing each other through a center of the circle. For example, Japanese Laid-open Patent Publication No. 2013-033821 is disclosed.
According to an aspect of the embodiments, an electronic device includes a mounting substrate; a package arranged facing the mounting substrate; a plurality of first pads arranged on a facing surface facing the mounting substrate along a long side of the facing surface in the package; a plurality of second pads arranged on the facing surface at respective corners of the facing surface; a plurality of first lands provided on the mounting substrate and electrically bonded to the plurality of first pads, respectively facing the plurality of first pads; and a plurality of second lands provided on the mounting substrate and electrically bonded to the plurality of second pads, respectively facing the plurality of second pads.
The object and advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by means of the elements and combinations particularly pointed out in the claims.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are not restrictive of the invention.
However, in a substrate unit having a package such as a land grid array (LGA) package mounted on a mounting substrate, bending rigidity of a part where the package is mounted is high whereas bending rigidity of a part where the package is not mounted is relatively low. That is, the bending rigidity abruptly changes at a boundary between the portion where the package is mounted and the portion where the package is not mounted.
In the case where an impact acts on such the substrate unit, a stress may be concentrated at the boundary portion of the bending rigidity and a strain may occur.
In view of the foregoing, it is desirable to suppress the strain due to the stress concentration at the time of action of the impact in the substrate unit having the package mounted on the mounting substrate.
A substrate unit 102 of a first embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
As illustrated in
In the example illustrated in
The LGA package 106 has a plate-shaped package substrate 110 having rigidity and non-conductivity. In the package substrate 110, a surface facing the mounting substrate 104 is a facing surface 110A. The package substrate 110 has a rectangular shape having a long side 110L and a short side 1105 when viewed in a normal direction (an arrow A1 direction) of the facing surface 110A. Hereinafter, the term “normal direction” simply refers to the normal direction of the facing surface 110A.
In the present embodiment, the package substrate 110 is rectangular when viewed in the normal direction, and has a pair of long sides 110L and a pair of short sides 1105. In the drawings, the direction of the long side 110L is illustrated by an arrow L1, and the direction of the short side 110S is illustrated by an arrow S1, respectively.
This rectangle also includes a square with the same four sides in length. In this case, any pair of parallel facing sides may be the long sides, and the two sides orthogonal to the long sides may be the short sides.
A plurality of first pads 112, a plurality of second pads 122, and a plurality of third pads 132 are provided on the facing surface 110A of the package substrate 110. The first pad 112, the second pad 122, and the third pad 132 are all formed using a conductive member such as copper foil.
As illustrated in
The plurality of second pads 122 is arranged corresponding to four corners 110C of the package substrate 110. In the example illustrated in
The plurality of third pads 132 is arranged at regular intervals along each of the two short sides 110S of the package substrate 110. In the example illustrated in
In each of the long sides 110L, the first pads 112 are arranged side by side along the long side 110L between the second pads 122 located at the corners 110C at both ends of the long side 110L. Furthermore, in each of the short sides 110S, the third pads 132 are arranged side by side along the short side 110S between the second pads 122 located at the corners 110C at both ends of the short side 110S.
A fourth pad 142 is arranged in a central portion of the package substrate 110. In the example illustrated in
The shape of the first pad 112 is substantially rectangular when viewed in the normal direction. Here, as illustrated in
In the present embodiment, in the example illustrated in
In each of the plurality of first pads 112, the position of an end 112T, that is, an end part on the long side 110L side is fixed. Assuming that a line connecting the ends 112T of the plurality of first pads 112 is a first reference line R1, the position of the end 112T of any of the first pads 112 is the position of the first reference line R1 (a point on the first reference line R1). The first reference line R1 is parallel to the long side 110L.
Then, a first land 116 has a structure provided with an inner displacement part located inside the end 112T by setting each first outer part 112P as the curved part 150. That is, in the first embodiment, the curved part 150 is an example of the inner displacement part.
In the present embodiment, the shape of the second pad 122 is substantially square when viewed in the normal direction. Here, in each of the second pads 122, a portion located on the long side 110L side of the package substrate 110 is referred to as a second outer part 122P. In the example illustrated in
In the example illustrated in
In the example illustrated in
In the example illustrated in
In each of the plurality of third pads 132, the position of the end 112T, that is, the end part on the short side 110S side is fixed. Assuming that a line connecting the ends 112T of the plurality of third pads 132 is a second reference line R2, the position of the end 112T of any of the third pads 132 is the position of the second reference line R2 (a point on the second reference line R2). The second reference line R2 is parallel to the short side 1105.
In each of the second pads 122, a portion located on the short side 110S side of the package substrate 110 is referred to as a fourth outer part 142P. In the example illustrated in
In the package substrate 110, a surface opposite to the facing surface 110A is a mounting surface 1108. A chip 152 is mounted on the mounting surface 1108. The chip 152 is, for example, a main body portion of an integrated circuit or the like. Then, the entire mounting surface 110B is covered including the chip 152 by a mold 154 provided on the package substrate 110. The mold 154 protects the chip 152 and increases the bending rigidity of the package substrate 110.
As illustrated in
When viewed in the normal direction (the arrow A1 direction) of the facing surface 110A, the first pad 112 and the first land 116 have the same shape, the second pad 122 and the second land 126 have the same shape, and the third pad 132 and the third land 136 have the same shape.
That is, as illustrated in
Furthermore, the second pad 122 and the second land 126 have the same shape when viewed in the normal direction (arrow A1 direction) of the facing surface 110A. A second outer part 126P of the second land 126 is also a portion offset inward with the fixed offset amount s.
The third pad 132 and the third land 136 have the same shape when viewed in the normal direction (direction of arrow A1) of the facing surface 110A. The third land 136 is also provided with the curved part 150 on a third outer part 136P.
In the state where the LGA package 106 is mounted on the mounting substrate 104, the first pad 112 and the first land 116 face each other, the second pad 122 and the second land 126 face each other, and the third pad 132 and the third land 136 face each other. These lands and pads are bonded by solder 158 and electrically connected. The present embodiment adopts the LGA structure, and thin film-like solder is applied between the land and the pad. However, a ball grid array (BGA) structure using ball-like solder may be adopted.
Wiring 156 is continuously provided from the second land 126 in each of the second lands 126. The wiring 156 is a member having conductivity and extending in the direction along the short side 110S. The substrate unit 102 is electrically connected to external electronic components and electronic devices by using the wiring 156.
In the mounting substrate 104, the portion where the above-described land is not provided is covered with a resist 168.
Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described in comparison with a substrate unit 52 of a comparative example illustrated in
In a package substrate 60 of the substrate unit 52 of the comparative example, each of the plurality of first pads 112 is not provided with the curved part 150 (see
Moreover, in the package substrate 60 of the comparative example, the second outer part 122P is located at the same position as the second reference line R2 in each of the plurality of second pads 122, and the second outer part is located at the same position as the first reference line R1 in each of the plurality of second lands (not illustrated) of the mounting substrate 54 of the comparative example.
In addition, in the package substrate 60 of the comparative example, the curved part 150 (see
In both the mounting substrate 104 of the first embodiment and the mounting substrate of the comparative example, the portion where the first land 116 and the second land 126 are provided has higher bending rigidity of the mounting substrate 104 than the portion where the first land 116 and the second land 126 are not provided. Then, in the package substrate 60 of the comparative example, the first outer part is linear and located at the same position as the first reference line R1 in each of the first lands, and the second outer part is located at the same position as the first reference line R1 in each of the second lands. In particular, since the bending rigidity of the package substrate 110 is higher in the direction (arrow S1 direction) of the short side 110S than in the direction (arrow L1 direction) of the long side 110L, the bending rigidity in the arrow S1 direction is higher than the bending rigidity in the arrow L1 direction even in the mounting substrate 104 of the portion where the package substrate 110 is mounted.
Thereby, in the mounting substrate 54 of the comparative example, the bending rigidity abruptly changes at the first reference line R1 as the boundary. Therefore, for example, when vibration in a plate thickness direction repeatedly acts on the mounting substrate 54, the stress is concentrated at the position of the first reference line R1. For example, in the case where an electronic device equipped with the substrate unit is mounted on a vehicle such as an automobile, the stress tends to be concentrated at the position of the first reference line R1 due to continuous vibration.
In such a mounting substrate 54 of the comparative example, bending occurs at the position of the first reference line R1 and the strain becomes large, as illustrated in
In contrast, in the substrate unit 102 of the first embodiment, the curved part 150 is provided in the first outer part 112P of the first land 116, and the first outer part 112P is also the inner displacement part located inside the first reference line R1 except for the end 112T. Furthermore, the second outer part 122P of the second land 126 is also a second displacement part located inside the first reference line R1. Thereby, in the mounting substrate 104 of the first embodiment, the bending rigidity gently changes at the first reference line R1 as the boundary, as compared with the mounting substrate 54 of the comparative example.
Therefore, the stress concentration at the position of the first reference line R1 in the case where the vibration in the plate thickness direction repeatedly acts on the mounting substrate 104 is relaxed. Then, in this case, as illustrated in
In the first embodiment, the abrupt change in the bending rigidity at the position of the first reference line R1 can be suppressed as long as the curved part 150 is provided in the first outer part 112P of the first land 116. In this respect, there is no limitation on the range of the radius of curvature r of the curved part 150. In practice, as will be described below, the range can be set to conditions that satisfy durability of not causing breakage of the wiring 156 in an impact drop test LESD22-B111 defined by JEDEC Solid State Technology Association (JEDEC).
Specifically, as illustrated in
As can be seen from
Note that, even if the radius of curvature r is less than 0.3 a or more than 0.7 a, the effect of suppressing the breakage (disconnection) due to fatigue of the wiring 156 is still exhibited.
Here,
The radius of curvature r of the curved part 150 may not be fixed and change in one curved part 150. As a third modification, in the structure illustrated in
Note that, in contrast, the structure with the fixed radius of curvature r of the curved part 150 has simpler shapes of the first pad 112 and the first land 116 than the structure with the changed radius of curvature r and is easy to manufacture.
The above-described curved part 150 is an example of the inner displacement part. As the inner displacement part, structures of a fourth modification in
In both the structure of the fourth modification in
Both the structures of the fourth modification and the fifth modification have the effect of suppressing breakage (disconnection) of the wiring 156 due to the action of impact, as compared with the structure of the comparative example, for example.
In the structures of the first embodiment and the first to third modifications, the inner displacement part is the curved part 150 having the curved shape. By forming the inner displacement part into the curved shape in this manner, the structure in which the bending rigidity smoothly changes at the position of the first reference line R1 in the package substrate 110 and the mounting substrate 104 can be implemented.
Note that, in the first embodiment, the third pad 132 and the third land 136 are also provided with the curved part 150, as illustrated in
Next, a second embodiment will be described. In the second embodiment, similar elements, members, and the like to those in the first embodiment are given the same reference numerals to those in the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
As illustrated in
However, in some of a plurality of the first lands 116 arranged along one long side 110L, the first lands 116 themselves are provided at positions displaced inward. In the example illustrated in
The second embodiment having such a structure has an effect of suppressing breakage (disconnection) of wiring 156 due to an action of impact, as compared with the structure of the comparative example.
In the above-described structures of the first embodiment and the first to fifth modifications, the positions of the first pad 112 and the first land 116 are not shifted in the arrow S1 direction. Therefore, for example, the influence on the portions other than the first pad 112 and the first land 116, for example, the influence on the shape of a circuit pattern and the like is small in the package substrate 110 and the mounting substrate 104.
The structures of the above-described first to fifth modifications and the second embodiment can be applied to the second pad 122 and the second land 126. When the structures of the above-described first to fifth modifications and the second embodiment are applied to the second pad 122 and the second land 126, the strain of the mounting substrate 104 can be suppressed with respect to the curvature of the mounting substrate 104 in the arrow L1 direction, for example.
In each of the above-described embodiments and modifications, the first pad 112 and the first land 116 have the same shape, and the second pad 122 and the second land 126 have the same shape, and the third pad 132 and the third land 136 have the same shape, when viewed in the normal direction. Therefore, it is possible to implement the state in which the pads and lands overlap each other without being displaced in the state where the LGA package 106 is mounted on the mounting substrate 104.
In each of the above embodiments and modifications, the LGA package 106 has the mold 154, and the mold 154 can protect the chip 152. The bending rigidity of the LGA package 106 is increased by having the mold 154, but even in this case, by adopting the structure of one of the above-described embodiments or modifications, the effect of suppressing breakage (disconnection) of the wiring 156 due to the action of impact can be exhibited.
