ChipArray® BGA (CABGA / LFBGA)
Thin ChipArray® BGA (CTBGA / TFBGA)
Very Thin ChipArray® BGA (CVBGA / VFBGA)

CABGA / Chiparray IC Package Amkor’s ChipArray® packages are laminate based Ball Grid Array (BGA) packages that are compatible with established SMT mounting processes. The near-chip-size standard outlines offer a broad selection of ball array pitch, count, and body sizes. (See table below) In addition to the standard core ChipArray package (CABGA), Amkor offers thin core ball grid array packages (CTBGA and CVBGA) which, coupled with a thin mold cap, achieve package thicknesses down to 1.0 mm max. By utilizing a thin core laminate, much denser routing can be achieved, thereby enabling more I/Os in a given footprint. Amkor ChipArray packages, regardless of body size and thickness, utilize the same, flexible capacity which assures economical packaging solutions. Further, high volume processes and innovative design assure high quality and cutting edge technology. Due to their small size and I/O density, Amkor’s ChipArray product family is an excellent choice for new devices requiring a small footprint size and low mounted height.

Applications:

The ChipArray package family is applicable for semiconductors such as memory, analog, ASICs, RF devices and simple PLDs requiring a smaller package size than conventional PBGAs. ChipArray packages fill the need for low cost, minimum space and high speed requirements of mobile phones and pagers, notebook and subnotebook personal computers, PDAs and other wireless systems.

Cutting edge technology and expanding package offerings provide a platform from prototype-to-production.
