Micro-Flip Chip BGA
Case study – Manufacturing of a micro-FCBGA with 2100 connections and a pitch of 150µm
Packing more circuitry in always smaller component packages is a trend that requires microelectronic design and assembly expertise as well as highest accuracy. Micro-Flip Chip Ball Grid Array (Micro-FCBGA) is a case in point. This assembly technique that allows to meet the demand for low size and weight packages with high-density interconnects is quite challenging to perform.
