Abstract

The advent of Thru-Silicon-Vias (TSV) has made it possible to distribute I/O in an area array fashion over an ultra-thin silicon chip at less than 20μm in pitch. The wire bonding technique, which is widely used for diestacking technology today cannot support the stacking and interconnection of TSV based ultra-thin chips. The goal of this paper is to present a preliminary version of a Smart Three Axis Compliant (STAC) interconnect for chip-tochip or chip-to-board interconnection suitable for packaging ultra-thin TSV filled dies, in 3D multichip stacks at the wafer level. This MEMS based interconnect will accommodate TCE mismatches between dies within the chip-stackor/and chip-stack to substrate. These flexible interconnects will also enable ultra-thin dies to have 6-degree of freedom movements. Finally the paper will include a preliminary numerical analysis of the STAC interconnect design.
