Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2016-254800, filed on Dec. 28, 2016, the entire subject matter of which is incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device which includes a plurality of semiconductor chips in which a plurality of conductive pads are aligned.

BACKGROUND

A Solid State Drive (SSD) which includes a NAND type flash memory has been used in place of a Hard Disc Drive (HDD) as a memory device. As the size of the NAND type flash memory is reduced, the SSD has become larger in capacity and lower in price, so that it has been widely spread in faster speed.

On the other hand, as the capacity becomes larger and the a package becomes diverse, the types of the NAND type flash memory increase, and a distribution amount of each type of NAND type flash memory in the market decreases, so that the price of the NAND type flash memory tends to be higher.

Under such circumstances, a package called Multi Chip Package (MCP) formed by stacking NAND type flash memory chips in a thickness direction of the chips has been proposed in recent years. In the MCP, chips or a chip and a substrate on which the package is mounted are bonded by bonding wires (see, for example, JP-A-2012-104707 and JP-A-2010-251762).

In order to increase the operation speed of the entire MCP, a plurality of NAND type flash memories are divided for a plurality of channels and are operated in each channel ti increase data transfer bandwidth. Therefore, it is preferable to separate bonding wires for signal communication for each channel and bond them. In this case, since noises superimposed on the wires increase as the bonding wires become longer, it is desirable to shorten the bonding wires for signal communication as much as possible.

However, in the technical field related to the above-described conventional MCP, there has been no proposal in wires bonding which considers such a problem.

SUMMARY

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a semiconductor device including a plurality of semiconductor chips and a plurality of electric wirings. Each of the semiconductor chips includes a plurality of semiconductor chips stacked in a first direction. Each semiconductor chip of the plurality of semiconductor chips includes a plurality of conductive pads that are aligned in an aligning direction that is orthogonal to the first direction, on at least one end portion thereof and spaced at a spacing along the aligning direction. The plurality of semiconductor chips are stacked such that each semiconductor chip is shifted from an adjacent semiconductor chip of the plurality of semiconductor chips by a first predetermined interval in the aligning direction and shifted from the adjacent semiconductor chip by a second predetermined interval in a second direction orthogonal to both the first direction and the aligning direction. The plurality of conductive pads of each semiconductor chip are spaced such that the conductive pads do not overlap conductive pads of the adjacent semiconductor chip of the plurality of semiconductor chips in the aligning direction. The plurality of electric wirings electrically connecting the plurality of conductive pads of every other semiconductor chip of the plurality of semiconductor chips, respectively.

The present disclosure has been made in view of the above-described circumstances and provides a semiconductor device capable it reducing noise superimposed on an electric wiring for signal communication between a semiconductor chip and a substrate which configure a package.

Embodiment

Hereinafter, a semiconductor device according to an embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 7, FIG. 9 and FIG. 11. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a schematic configuration of a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 is a side view. FIG. 3 is a plan view showing a schematic configuration of a wiring state of an electric wiring of the semiconductor device according to the embodiment. FIG. 4 is a side view. FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are views illustrating a positional relationship of conductive pads of the semiconductor device according to the embodiment.

Specifically, a semiconductor device 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is an NAND type flash memory (hereinafter, simply referred to as a flash memory). The flash memory 1 of the present embodiment includes NAND type flash memory chips (hereinafter, simply referred to as flash memory chips) 2 which are semiconductor chips, staked in a thickness direction of the flash memory 1.

As best shown in FIG. 1, the flash memory chips 2 have a rectangular plate shape when seen from a top of the semiconductor device, and a plurality of conductive pads 3 are arranged on one end portion thereof (the lower side end portion in FIG. 1) along a lower side of the flash memory chips 2 in FIG. 1. It is noted that, in FIG. 1, although the flash memory chip 2 has eight conductive pads 3, more conductive pads 3 can be aligned and only eight conductive pads 3 are shown for convenience of illustration.

The flash memory chips 2 are stacked in a vertical direction in FIG. 1 while being shifted one another in a horizontal direction in FIG. 2 by predetermined intervals. Accordingly, the flash memory chips 2 are stacked such that the conductive pads 3 aligned in the lower side end portion of the flash memory chips 2 are exposed to the outside.

Further, the flash memory chips 2 stacked vertically adjacent to each other in FIG. 1 are alternately shifted by predetermined intervals in the horizontal direction. Accordingly, the flash memory chips 2 are stacked such that the conductive pads 3 of a pair of the flash memory chips 2 stacked vertically adjacent to each other are located without overlapping with each other along an extension direction of the lower side in FIG. 1 which is an aligning direction of the conductive pads 3.

The conductive pads 3 of the flash memory chips 2 are electrically connected by a bonding wire 4 which is an electric wiring. A summary of a manner of connecting the conductive pads 3 of the flash memory chips 2 by the bonding wire 4 will be described with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4.

As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, in the flash memory chip 2 of the present embodiment, a conductive pad 3a for power supply and a conductive pad 3b for signal communication are individually provided as the conductive pads 3. In FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, among the conductive pads 3 which are provided on the lower side end portion in FIG. 3 and aligned in the horizontal direction along the lower side, the conductive pad 3b for signal communication is provided on the left side and the conductive pad 3a for power supply provided on the right side. Detailed arrangement positions of the conductive pad 3a for power supply and the conductive pad 3b for signal communication will be described later.

The flash memory 1 shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 includes four flash memory chips 2 and performs two channel operations. Since it is not necessary to perform the channel operations on the conductive pad 3a for power supply, the conductive pads 3a for power supply of all the flash memory chips 2 may be electrically connected by the bonding wires 4.

In the present embodiment, the flash memory chips 2 in FIG. 3 are stacked while being alternately shifted by predetermined intervals in the horizontal direction. Therefore, when seen from the top of the flash memory chips 2, a plurality of (two in the illustrated example) conductive pads 3a for power supply of every other one of the flash memory chips 2 are arranged in a row in a direction (specifically, in the vertical direction in FIG. 3) different from the horizontal direction in FIG. 3 which is the arrangement direction of the conductive pads 3a for power supply. Therefore, the plurality of conductive pads 3a for power supply of every other one of the flash memory chips 2 can be electrically connected by the bonding wires 4 linearly extending in the vertical direction in FIG. 3. As best shown in FIG. 3, the bonding wires 4 for electrically connecting the plurality of conductive pads 3a for power supply of every other one of the flash memory chips 2 extend at predetermined intervals from each other. Further, since the bonding wire 4 is connected to the conductive pad 5 provided on a substrate side (not shown), electric power is supplied to those flash memory chips 2.

On the other hand, for the conductive pads 3b for signal communication, it is necessary to electrically connect flash memory chips 2 to be operated in the same channel in units (in the illustrated example, since the four flash memory chips 2 are operated in two channels, they are operated in two units) by the bonding wires 4.

Here, in the present embodiment, the flash memory chips 2 to be operated in the same channel are selected as every other one of the plurality of (two in the embodiment) flash memory chips 2. With this selection, since the flash memory chips are stacked while being alternately shifted by predetermined intervals in the horizontal direction in FIG. 3, the conductive pads 3b for signal communication of the flash memory chip 2 to be operated in the same channel are arranged in a row in a direction (specifically, in the vertical direction in FIG. 3) different from the horizontal direction in FIG. 3 which is the Aligning direction of the conductive pads 3a for power supply. Therefore, the plurality of (two in the embodiment) conductive pads 3b for signal communication of every other one of the flash memory chips 2 for operation in the same channel can be electrically connected by the bonding wires 4 linearly extending in the vertical direction in FIG. 3. Further, the bonding wires 4 are connected to the conductive pads 5 provided on the substrate side (not shown), and therefore, signals can be sent and received between those flash memory chips 2 and the substrate.

A manner of connecting the conductive pads 3 of the flash memory chips 2 the bonding wires 4 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 7 and FIG. 9.

In the flash memory chip 2 of the present embodiment, as best shown in FIG. 7, an input/output (I/O) conductive pad 3b for signal communication serving as the conductive pad 3b for signal communication is interposed between a Vcc (power supply of 5 V or the like) conductive pad 3a for power supply serving as the conductive pad 3a for power supply and a Vss (ground voltage) conductive pad 3a for power supply serving as the conductive pad 3a for power supply in the horizontal direction which is the aligning direction of the conductive pads 3. A Chip Enable (CE) conductive pad 3b for signal communication is arranged between the pairs of the Vcc conductive pads 3a for power supply, the I/O conductive pads 3b for signal communication and the Vss conductive pads 3a for power supply.

As described above, the Vcc conductive pads 3a for power supply and the Vss conductive pads 3a for power supply of every other one of the flash memory chips 2 are electrically connected by the bonding wires 4 linearly extending in the vertical direction in FIG. 7. The plurality of (two in the embodiment) I/O conductive pads 3b for signal communication of every other one of the flash memory chips 2 to be operated in the same channel are also electrically connected by the bonding wires 4 linearly extending in the vertical direction in FIG. 7. As best shown in FIG. 7, the bonding wire 4 for electrically connecting the I/O conductive pads 3b for signal communication is interposed between the bonding wire electrically connecting the Vcc conductive pad 3a for power supply and the bonding wire 4 for electrically connecting the Vss conductive pad 3a for power supply. On the other hand, since the CE conductive pad 3b for signal communication needs to be connected to the substrate (not shown) for each flash memory chip 2, each of the CE conductive pads 3b for signal communication of each flash memory chip 2 is electrically connected to a conductive pad 5 provided on the substrate side (not shown).

Here, referring to FIG. 8 and FIG. 10, comparison is made with a case where the flash memory chips are stacked without being shifted in the horizontal direction of FIG. 8. The flash memory chips 2 to be operated in the same channel are regarded as two flash memory chips 2 vertically adjacent to each other. In this case, since there is a possibility of short-circuiting if each bonding wire 4 overlaps, the bonding wire 4 (indicated by a thick line in the drawing) which electrically connects the I/O conductive pad 3b for signal communication of the flash memory chip 2 for the channel located on the upper side to the conductive pad 5 on the substrate side in FIG. 8 is necessary to be wired so as to avoid the bonding wire 4 which electrically connects the I/O conductive pad 3b for signal communication of the flash memory chip 2 for the channel located on the lower side to the conductive pad 5 on the substrate side in FIG. 8. Therefore, the wiring length necessarily becomes longer.

In FIG. 9 and FIG. 11, only the bonding wire 4 connecting the I/O conductive pad 3b for signal communication to the conductive pad 5 is shown in order to clarify the operation of this embodiment.

Here, the voltage fluctuation, which becomes noise, is referred to as ΔV, an effective inductance of the bonding wire 4 connecting the I/O conductive pad 3b for signal communication to the conductive pad 5 is referred to as L_eff, and the current flowing to the bonding wire 4 is referred to as i. Then, a relationship between di/dt which is a time rate of change of the current i and the voltage fluctuation ΔV is expressed by Equation 1.

$\begin{array}{cc}\left[\mathrm{Equation}1\right]& \\ \Delta V=L_{\mathrm{eff}}\times \frac{\mathrm{di}}{\mathrm{dt}}& \left(1\right)\end{array}$

Additionally, when a self-inductance of the bonding wire 4 connecting the I/O conductive pad 3b for signal communication to the conductive pad 5 is referred to as L_S, and a mutual inductance is referred to as L_M, Equation 2 is established.

[Equation 2]

L _eff =L _S −L _M  (2)

As shown in FIG. 12, if the length of the bonding wire 4 connecting the I/O conductive pad 3b for signal communication to the conductive pad 5 is referred to as le, and a loop area which is formed by the bonding wire 4 connecting adjacent Vss conductive pad 3a for power supply or Vcc conductive pad 3a for power supply is referred to as S, Equation 3 is established.

$\begin{array}{cc}\left[\mathrm{Equation}3\right]& \\ L_S\propto \mathrm{le}& \left(3\right)\\ L_M\propto \frac{1}{S}& \left(4\right)\end{array}$

As the bonding wire 4 connecting the I/O conductive pad 3b for signal communication to the conductive pad 5 becomes longer, L_S increases and L_M decreases. Therefore, L_eff increases, and noise ΔV increases.

On the other hand, as best shown in FIG. 7, in the flash memory 1 of the present embodiment, the bonding wire 4 connecting the I/O conductive pad 3b for signal communication to the conductive pad 5 linearly extends in the vertical direction. Additionally, the bonding wires 4 of different channels are in positions which are not overlapped with each other. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, le in the above Equation can be shortened and the noise ΔV can be reduced.

Here, the condition of the arrangement positions of the flash memory chips 2 will be described with reference to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 5, the four flash memory chips 2 vertically adjacent to each other are stacked while being alternately shifted by predetermined intervals in the horizontal direction. Additionally, as shown in FIG. 5, the X axis is taken in the horizontal direction and the Y axis is taken in the vertical direction of the flash memory chip 2.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, in one flash memory chip 2, for example, the flash memory chip 2 positioned at the lowest position in FIG. 6, when the distance in the X axis direction between centers of the adjacent conductive pads 3 in the aligning direction of the conductive pads 3 that is, the X axis direction) is Xa, it is preferable that the center position of the conductive pad 3 of the flash memory chip 2 positioned thereabove is in a range of ⅓ Xa to ⅔ Xa (a range shown by hatchings in FIG. 6) from the center position of the conductive pad 3 of the lowest flash memory chip 2.

Effect of Embodiment

As described above, in the flash memory 1 of the present embodiment, since the wiring length of the bonding wire 4 can be shortened, the voltage fluctuation (ΔV in the above equation) in the bonding wire 4 can be suppressed. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, there is provided the semiconductor device capable of reducing noise superimposed on the electric wiring for signal communication between the semiconductor chip and the substrate which configure the package.
