Thin Substrate CSP (tsCSP):

Very thin, Superior Performance, Cost Effective

tsCSP Thin Substrate IC PackageAmkor's tsCSP is a land grid array multi-row package (up to 3 rows of lands) compatible with established CSP mounting processes. The near-chip-size standard outlines of the tsCSP package offer a broad selection of land pitch, count, and body sizes. By utilizing a thin substrate, this package achieves a standard height of 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm. Amkor also offers very thin package thickness less than 0.4 mm.

The package uses Amkor's ExposedPad™ technology as a thermal enhancement by having the die attach paddle exposed on the bottom of the package surface to provide an efficient heat path when soldered directly to the PWB. These enhancements also enable stable ground by use of down bonds or by electrical connection through a conductive die attach material.

Regardless of body size and thickness, Amkor tsCSP packages utilize streamlined, flexible manufacturing process to provide economical packaging solutions.

Applications:

Amkor’s tsCSP package is an ideal choice for handheld portable devices such as cell phones and PDAs or other applications requiring small size, light weight, excellent thermal and electrical performance, and low cost.

Typical device applications for Amkor's tsCSP package include hard disk drives, USB controllers, wireless LAN, memory, analog, ASICs, RF devices and simple PLDs.
