DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0016] The technical solutions set forth in the embodiments of the present invention will be described below clearly and thoroughly in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments only constitute some of the embodiments of the present invention, instead of all the embodiments thereof. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments that are obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without the exercise of inventive faculty are covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides an inversion-type package structure for a flip chip. The inversion-type package structure for the flip chip comprises a package substrate 10, a die 11 welded on the package substrate 10 in an inversion manner, a package housing 12 and at least one temperature measuring element 13, wherein the at least one temperature measuring element 13 is arranged in a first space 14 below the die 11 in the package substrate 10, and the residual space except for the space occupied by the at least one temperature measuring element 13 in the first space 14 is filled with an insulating heat conductive substance.

[0018] The inversion-type package structure for the flip chip as provided by the present invention comprises a die welded on a package substrate in an inversion manner, the package substrate, a package housing and at least one temperature measuring element, wherein the at least one temperature measuring element is arranged in a first space below the die in the package substrate, and the residual space except for the space occupied by the at least one temperature measuring element in the first space is filled with an insulating heat conductive substance. As compared with the prior art, the temperature measuring chip in the present invention is mounted in a concave space below the die in the package substrate, such that there is only one insulating heat conductive layer between the temperature measuring device and the die. Accordingly, this mounting manner avoids not only the influences exerted by the heat resistances of the basal insulation layer and the plastic package housing, but also the big error that occurs when only the temperature of air around the flip chip is measured and taken as the actual error thereof. Therefore, the temperature measuring structure designed herein for the flip chip is capable of measuring, in a more accurate manner, the actual temperature produced when the flip-chip die works.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 3, the present invention provides an inversion-type package structure for a flip chip. The inversion-type package structure for the flip chip comprises a package substrate 10, a die 21 welded on the package substrate 20 in an inversion manner, a package housing 22 and at least one temperature measuring element 23, wherein the die 21 comprises a basal insulation layer 211 and a transistor active layer 212, and the transistor active layer 212 comprises a circuit area 212-1 and a bonding pad area 212-2 (as shown in FIG. 4); the package substrate 20 is formed by vertically laminating a plurality of insulating dielectric layers, and as an example, four insulating dielectric layers are adopted for illustration; as such, the package substrate 20 is formed by four insulating dielectric layers, which are sequentially a first insulating dielectric layer 201, a second insulating dielectric layer 202, a third insulating dielectric layer 203 and a fourth insulating dielectric layer 204 that are arranged in a manner gradually remote from the die 21; the at least one temperature measuring element 23 is arranged in the first space 24 below the circuit area 212-2 of the transistor active layer 212 in the package substrate 20, the first space 24 is located within the first insulating dielectric layer 201 closest to the die 21, and the residual space except for the space occupied by the at least one temperature measuring element 23 in the first space 24 is filled with an insulating heat conductive glue so as to prevent the occurrence of short circuits between the flip-chip die and the temperature measuring chip, wherein the insulating heat conductive glue can be replaced with other insulating heat conductive substances.

[0020] Preferably, after the at least one temperature measuring element 23 is placed in the first space 24, the residual space is filled with the insulating heat conductive glue; thereafter, the process of heat curing is performed to cure the insulating heat conductive glue.

[0021] The bonding pad area 212-1 of the transistor active layer 212 is interconnected with the package substrate 20 via solder balls 25. Specifically, the bonding pad area 212-1 of the transistor active layer 212 is interconnected with the first insulating layer 201 via the solder balls 25 so as to achieve the interconnection between the die 21 and the package substrate 20.

[0022] In addition, in the inversion-type package structure for flip chip as presented in the embodiment of the present invention, each of the insulating dielectric layers may be provided with conductor interconnecting lines 27 on both sides, and may also be internally provided with a conductor through-hole 28, thereby forming an interconnection structure for connecting the at least one temperature measuring element 23 with external pins 26 of the flip chip. As such, with the external pins 26, each of the above temperature measuring elements 23 can be driven, and monitored temperature values can be read therefrom.

[0023] Here, each of the above temperature measuring chips 23 has a thickness less than a thickness of the first insulating dielectric layer 201, and the above various temperature measuring chips 23 are dies or packaged chips.

[0024] As compared with the prior art, in the inversion-type package structure for flip chip as provided by the present invention, the temperature measuring chips are mounted in a concave space below the die in the package substrate, such that there is only one insulating heat conductive layer between the temperature measuring device and the die. Accordingly, this mounting manner avoids not only the influences exerted by the heat resistances of the basal insulation layer and the plastic package housing, but also the big error that occurs when only the temperature of air around the flip chip is measured and taken as the actual error thereof. Therefore, the temperature measuring structure designed herein for the flip chip is capable of measuring, in a more accurate manner, the actual temperature produced when the flip-chip die works.

[0025] As shown in FIGS. 5-9, illustrated is the process for making the inversion-type package structure for flip chip as presented in the above embodiment, and specifically, the making process comprises the following steps:

S1 of arranging the at least one temperature measuring element 23 in the package substrate 20 (as shown in FIG. 5);
S2 of welding the die 21 on the package substrate in an inversion manner, thereby forming a first space 24 for receiving the at least one temperature measuring element 23 (as shown in FIG. 6);
S3 of filling a residual space except for the space occupied by the at least one temperature measuring element 23 in the first space 24 with an insulating heat conductive glue, and the insulating heat conductive glue is subjected to the process of heat curing after injection into the residual space (as shown in FIG. 7);
S4 of making the package housing 22 on an upper portion of the package substrate 20 (as shown in FIG. 8);
S5 of making the external pins 26 on a lower portion of the package substrate 20 (as shown in FIG. 9).

[0026] In addition, the present invention further provides a flip chip comprising the above inversion-type package structure for flip chip.

[0027] What have been described above are merely specific implementations of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. For technicians familiar with the art, all the variations or substitutions that can be readily made without departing from the technical scope disclosed by the present invention shall be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to that of the claims.
