A 3D packaging technology has been developed for 4 Gbit DRAM. Highly-doped poly-Si through-silicon vias (TSVs) are used for vertical traces inside silicon and interconnection between DRAM chips to realize a DRAM compatible process. Through optimization of the process conditions and layout design, fast poly-Si filling has been obtained. The entire packaging was carried out at the wafer level by using the socalled SMAFTI technology. A new bump and wiring structure for feedthrough interposer (FTI) has also been developed for fine-pitch and low-cost bonding. Simulation of the transfer function of FTI wiring indicated a 3 Gbps/pin data transfer capability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
