Targeting a silicon device for a flip-chip package introduces significant IC and package design complexities throughout the entire product development cycle. This package-die combination must be ...

Don't be so stuck in the circuits that you forget the importance of IC packages. Here are a couple cards from the Microchip 2005 product selector: While most design engineers are using surface mount ...

Packing more IC functionality into smaller form factors stacks the deck against IC makers and foreshadows difficult interconnect challenges. How much can one package take? As consumer electronics ...

Siemens Digital Industries Software is adopting a new approach for sharing accurate thermal models of IC packages to the electronics supply chain. The main advantages are protecting IP, enhancing ...

In five words or less can you describe what a semiconductor is? Some might say a computer chip, others may say they are “space magic,” but I would venture that most people have never heard the word ...

Several equipment makers are ramping up new inspection equipment to address the growing defect challenges in IC packaging. At one time, finding defects in packaging was relatively straightforward. But ...

While semiconductor lithography gets the bulk of the attention in chipmaking, other processes are equally important in producing working integrated circuits (ICs). Case in point: packaging. An IC ...

NeoGene Tech, a Guangzhou-based Taiwanese thermal management solution provider, has in Q3 2022 supported Xiaomi to successfully launch its flagship 5G smartphone, Xiaomi 12S Ultra, with excellent ...

Much has changed in IC packaging technology since the first real-time microfocus X-ray systems entered the inspection market nearly 20 years ago. The trend for high-density packaging is moving from ...

STMicroelectronics has introduced two miniature IC package types which are less than one millimetre thick. The MSOP8 package, also called TSSOP8 3×3 according to JEDEC standards, is claimed to be 23 ...
