US Patent:
7227260, Jun 5, 2007
Filed:
Oct 26, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/973735
Inventors:
Yuichi Goto - Austin TX, US
Eiichi Hosomi - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba - Tokyo
International Classification:
H01L 23/34
H01L 23/48
H01L 23/52
H01L 29/40
US Classification:
257724, 257786, 257773, 257924, 257E25015, 361782
Abstract:
Systems and methods for substrate layers used in attaching devices to a semiconductor package are disclosed. A novel pad structure may be employed on a substrate layer which has pads, each pad having a common electrical potential. Multiple pad openings may be employed on a single pad, allowing the attachment of multiple terminals of one or more decoupling capacitors to a single pad. These pads and pad openings can be arranged according to the type of decoupling capacitor employed, allowing a greater total pad area to be utilized in conjunction with a set of pad openings, while simultaneously allowing the multiple pad openings on the pad to be placed closer together, reducing the ESL and ESR of the path between the semiconductor and the decoupling capacitors, increasing the mechanical reliability of the semiconductor package and allowing a higher density of decoupling capacitors to be coupled to a given area.

Systems And Methods For Reducing Simultaneous Switching Noise In An Integrated Circuit

US Patent:
7492570, Feb 17, 2009
Filed:
Apr 13, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/105113
Inventors:
Eiichi Hosomi - Austin TX, US
Paul M. Harvey - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba - Tokyo
International Business Machines Corporation - Armonk NY
International Classification:
H01G 4/228
US Classification:
3613062, 3613061, 3613063, 3613211, 361311, 361303
Abstract:
Systems and methods for reducing switching noise in an integrated circuit. In one embodiment, decoupling capacitors are connected to the integrated circuit from the underside of the substrate on which the integrated circuit die is manufactured. The decoupling capacitors are positioned with a higher concentration in the “hot spot” areas of the integrated circuit instead of being evenly distributed. In one embodiment, the decoupling capacitors and the corresponding hole(s) in a circuit board on which the integrated circuit is mounted are positioned so that the circuit board provides support for the central portion of the integrated circuit and thereby prevents the integrated circuit from flexing away from the heat sink/spreader. In one embodiment, the concentration of vias connecting the different ground planes and/or power planes within the integrated circuit is higher in hot spots than in other areas.

US Patent:
7501698, Mar 10, 2009
Filed:
Oct 26, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/973373
Inventors:
Eiichi Hosomi - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba - Tokyo
International Classification:
H01L 23/12
US Classification:
257698, 257700, 257737, 257438, 257778, 257E23003, 438106
Abstract:
Systems and methods for a structure for a power distribution network intended to distribute power from a PCB to a semiconductor device on a package. These improved power distribution networks may reduce current crowding in the BGA balls of a package and may serve to more equitably distribute current through the BGA balls of the package through increasing the impedance of the package or decreasing the impedance of the PCB to which the package is coupled. These systems and methods may increase the impedance of the package through various arrangements of the coupling between BGA balls and planes of the package. By the same token, these systems and methods may decrease the impedance of the PCB coupled to the package by arrangement of the coupling between the PCB and the BGA balls of the package.

US Patent:
7531751, May 12, 2009
Filed:
Apr 26, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/114362
Inventors:
Eiichi Hosomi - Austin TX, US
Yuichi Goto - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba - Tokyo
International Classification:
H05K 1/00
US Classification:
174250, 174255, 333 33
Abstract:
Systems and methods for a structure for a package substrate for use in a semiconductor package are disclosed. Package substrates formed according to the systems and methods of the present invention may exhibit improved signal integrity and quality. In order to achieve this increase signal integrity, these systems and methods may endeavor to obtain equalization, or matching, of impedances in signal traces in or on the package substrate by removing material from one or more layers of a package substrate in a region of high signal density. Removing material from these layers may serve to increase the impedance of a signal trace within a region of high signal density such that the impedance of the signal trace with the region of high signal density is substantially matched to the impedance of the signal trace outside the region of high-signal density.

Filed:
Jun 26, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/474811
Inventors:
Eiichi Hosomi - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba - Tokyo
International Classification:
H05K 1/18
US Classification:
361763, 361764, 361784

Method And System For A Semiconductor Package With An Air Vent

View page
US Patent:
20060237829, Oct 26, 2006
Filed:
Apr 26, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/114808
Inventors:
Eiichi Hosomi - Austin TX, US
International Classification:
H01L 23/02
US Classification:
257678000
Abstract:
Systems and methods for a structure for semiconductor packages where the effects that features on the package substrate have on the impedance of signal traces within the semiconductor package is substantially reduced. These systems and methods may allow a feature, or multiple features, to be placed anywhere on the semiconductor package while still minimizing the effect of these features on the impedance of signal traces within the package substrate of the semiconductor package that are beneath these features. In particular, these systems and methods may be useful in a semiconductor package with an air vent, such that the placement of an air vent or air vents in the semiconductor package does not affect signal traces beneath the air vent. Thus, a design rule applicable to signal traces in the remainder of that region may be applied to any signal traces that happen to exist beneath the air vent.
