FC-CSP (Flip Chip-Chip Scale Package) – A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners FC-CSP

FC-CSP (flip-chip chip scale package) – a comprehensive guide for beginners

FC-CSP is one of the Chip Scale Package (CSP) types. According to the definition of the J-STD-012 standard, CSP refers to a packaging form in which the size of the package does not exceed 1.2 times that of the bare chip. It realizes the electrical interconnection between the chip and the substrate through flip-chip welding of the bump and the substrate, the chip faces downward, and the chip welding area and the substrate welding area are directly interconnected. Compared with WB and TAB bonding methods, the distance between the semiconductor chip and the substrate in FC-CSP is smaller, the signal loss is reduced, and the I/O density is high, which is more suitable for Large-scale Integration (LSI), Very Large Scale Integration(VLSI) and Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) chips.
