Engineering Flip-Chip Chip-Scale Packaging Excellence

FCCSP stands for Flip-Chip Chip-Scale Package. It is a type of semiconductor packaging technology that combines flip-chip bonding with the benefits of a chip-scale package (CSP).

FCCSP is widely used in applications requiring compact, high-performance, and high-density packaging, such as in mobile devices, consumer electronics, and high-speed computing.

Key Features of FCCSP Packaging

Explore the advanced technical features that make flip chip integration an optimal choice for high-performance applications.

Flip-Chip Bonding
Flip-Chip Bonding
  • The semiconductor die is flipped upside down so that its active surface (where the input/output (I/O) pads are located) faces the substrate.
  • Tiny solder bumps on the die make direct electrical connections to the substrate, eliminating the need for wire bonding.
Chip-Scale Package (CSP)
Chip-Scale Package (CSP)
  • CSP refers to packages that are nearly the same size as the chip itself, offering a compact and lightweight design.
  • FCCSP achieves a small form factor ideal for space-constrained devices.
Multilayer Substrate
Multilayer Substrate
  • Typically, a laminate substrate is used in Flip Chip CSP (FCCSP), providing electrical routing and mechanical support.
  • The substrate often includes multiple layers to handle high I/O density and complex signal routing.
Encapsulation
Encapsulation
  • After assembly, the chip and substrate are encapsulated to protect the solder joints and chip from mechanical and environmental stresses.
Ball Grid Array (BGA) Interface
Ball Grid Array (BGA) Interface
  • The package uses an array of solder balls on the bottom of the substrate to connect to the printed circuit board (PCB).

How FCCSP is Used
Assembly Process

Assembly Process

  • The flip-chip die is placed on the substrate, and the solder bumps are reflowed to establish electrical and mechanical connections.
  • Underfill material is added between the die and substrate to enhance mechanical reliability and thermal stability.
Electrical Interconnections

Electrical Interconnections

  • Electrical signals are routed through the solder bumps to the substrate, then through the substrate to the BGA, which interfaces with the PCB.
Thermal Management

Thermal Management

  • FCCSP allows for better heat dissipation compared to traditional wire-bond packages because the flipped die ensures shorter electrical paths and closer contact to the substrate.
Integration with PCBs

Integration with PCBs

  • The BGA balls on the substrate’s bottom are soldered to corresponding pads on the PCB, forming the final connection in an electronic system.
