With the progress of the wafer manufacturing process, the calculation speed of the CPU is faster and faster, and high calculation power brings many challenges to hardware. The CPU power consumption adopted in the data center and the server is higher and higher, and under the current process conditions, in order to meet the demand of high computational power, the CPU power consumption can be generally realized by reducing the voltage and increasing the output current. The increase in power consumption causes devices such as CPUs to consume even thousands of amperes of power and their power requirements can be rapidly shifted. How to realize large current in a limited PCB space by adopting a minimum area and meeting the condition of rapid power shifting, the multiphase inverse inductance type voltage regulator is provided at present. On the basis of the structure (the multi-phase inductance voltage regulating module, TLVR), the structure is packaged in a modularized mode to form an electronic packaging structure, and reliability and integration level of products can be further improved.
Referring to fig. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, an embodiment of a first aspect of the present invention proposes an electronic package structure, including: a substrate 100; an electronic unit disposed on the substrate 100; the copper structure 500 comprises a plurality of first copper columns 510 and a plurality of copper connecting blocks 520 which are sequentially stacked, one end of each first copper column 510 is electrically connected with the substrate 100, the other end of each first copper column 510 is electrically connected with the corresponding copper connecting block 520, and the electronic unit is arranged between the substrate 100 and the copper connecting block 520; the plastic package glue 600 is used for packaging the electronic unit and the copper structure 500 on the substrate 100, and the end face of the copper connecting block 520 is exposed on the surface of the plastic package glue 600.
It will be appreciated that the substrate 100 may generally include a bottom pad 110, a bottom network 120, a third network 130, a second network 140, a top network 150, and a top pad 160 stacked in this order, electrically connected by an electrical connection via 170, and may further include an epoxy layer. The electronic unit is electrically connected to the substrate 100 through the top layer pad 160. At least two first copper pillars 510 are connected to the same copper connection block 520 so that the two first copper pillars 510 are electrically connected through the same copper connection block 520. The electronic unit includes a chip 200 and a first component 300, and the chip 200 and the first component 300 are electrically connected to the substrate 100, respectively. The first component 300 is a capacitor. One end of the first copper pillar 510 is electrically connected to the substrate 100, and the other end is electrically connected to the corresponding copper connection block 520, and the electronic unit is disposed between the substrate 100 and the copper connection block 520. In one aspect, the substrate 100 may be electrically connected to the outside through the first copper pillar 510 and the copper connection block 520; on the other hand, heat generated by the substrate 100 itself or heat generated by the electronic unit of the substrate 100 may be transferred to the outside through the first copper pillar 510 and the copper connection block 520. The electronic packaging structure provided by the embodiment of the invention can improve the thickness of the copper connecting block 520 without increasing the area of the chip 200 tube core of the electronic unit, the improvement of the thickness is equivalent to reduction of resistance, and the reduction of the resistance and the reduction of heat productivity are realized, so that the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the electronic packaging structure is improved.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the copper structure 500 further includes a copper connection layer 530, the copper connection layer 530 is stacked on a side of the copper connection block 520 facing away from the first copper pillar 510, and the copper connection blocks 520 are connected to each other through the copper connection layer 530. On the basis of the copper connecting block 520 of the second layer, the copper branch connecting layer of the third layer is placed, the dispersed copper connecting blocks 520 are connected into a whole, the whole stability of the copper structure 500 is promoted in the machining process, and therefore the convenience of the machining process is promoted. After the plastic package of the chip 200 is completed, the end face of the plastic package adhesive 600 is ground, and the copper branch connecting layer of the third layer is completely ground until the copper connecting block 520 of the second layer leaks out, so as to be used as a welding pad at the top of the package of the chip 200.
It is understood that the copper connection block 520 may be configured to have a sectional area larger than that of the first copper pillar 510, thereby facilitating heat dissipation. One copper connection block 520 may also connect different first copper pillars 510, so that electrical connection between different first copper pillars 510 may be achieved. The copper connection layer 530 may be a copper plate of one layer, and the copper connection layer 530 covers the plurality of copper connection blocks 520 to connect the respective copper connection blocks 520 into a whole, so that the first copper pillar 510 and the copper connection blocks 520 may be installed as a whole when being installed on the substrate 100, and the installation efficiency may be effectively improved compared to individually installing the first copper pillar 510 and the copper connection blocks 520. The first copper pillar 510 may have a cylindrical shape or a prismatic shape. It is understood that in the subsequent process flow, the copper connection layer 530 is ground away by a grinder, so that the end surface of the copper connection block 520 is exposed on the surface of the molding compound 600. The first copper pillar 510, the copper connection block 520, and the copper connection layer 530 may be integrally formed by a stamping technique to form the copper structure 500. It is understood that the electronic package structure further includes at least one second component 400, the at least one second component 400 is electrically connected with a corresponding copper connection block 520 at a side facing away from the first copper pillar 510, and the second component 400 may be an inductor. The inductor is separated from the capacitor and the chip 200, so that the integration level of the electronic packaging structure can be effectively improved.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the chip further comprises at least one second copper pillar 540, one end of the second copper pillar 540 abuts against the end surface of the chip 200, and the other end of the second copper pillar 540 is connected to the corresponding copper connection block 520. By such an arrangement, heat generated by the chip 200 during use can be dissipated to the outside through the second copper pillar 540 and the corresponding copper connection block 520. It is understood that the second copper pillar 540 may have a cylindrical shape or a prism shape. A second copper pillar 540, placed on the chip 200, can be used to independently follow any second layer of copper connection block 520, since there is no electrical capability. In order to achieve better heat dissipation, a plurality of second copper pillars 540 may be disposed on the upper end surface of the same chip 200.

Step S300: the electronic unit and the copper structure 500 are plastically packaged by a molding compound 600.
Step S400: the surface of the plastic package adhesive 600 is ground to remove the surface layer of the plastic package adhesive 600 and the copper connection layer 530, so that the end surface of the copper connection block 520 is exposed on the surface of the plastic package adhesive 600 to form a welding pad.
Step S500: the inductor is soldered to the solder pad.
It is understood that one end of the first copper pillar 510 is electrically connected to the substrate 100 and the other end is electrically connected to the corresponding copper connection block 520, and the electronic unit is disposed between the substrate 100 and the copper connection block 520. In one aspect, the substrate 100 may be electrically connected to the outside through the first copper pillar 510 and the copper connection block 520; on the other hand, heat generated by the substrate 100 itself or heat generated by the electronic unit of the substrate 100 may be transferred to the outside through the first copper pillar 510 and the copper connection block 520. The electronic packaging structure provided by the embodiment of the invention improves the whole heat dissipation efficiency of the electronic packaging structure without increasing the area of the chip 200 tube core of the electronic unit. In addition, on the basis of the copper connecting block 520 of the second layer, the copper branch connecting layer of the third layer is placed, and the dispersed copper connecting blocks 520 are connected into a whole, so that the whole stability of the copper structure 500 is improved in the machining process, and the convenience of the machining process is improved.
