Package Stackable etCSP (PS-etCSP / PSCSP / CSP-on-CSP)
(XFXBGA / VFBGA / LFBGA)
Amkor's PS-etCSP package
is a POP capable of stacking another 0.5 mm pitch package.
This package can squeeze into applications requiring a thin form factor. The
PS-etCSP package is constructed using conventional IC processing including standard wire bonding,
molding and substrate infrastructure. The resulting package consists of three to four peripheral rows of
solder balls to achieve around 300 I/Os.
Applications:
Amkor's PS-etCSP design makes this package type ideal for ASIC IDMs, memory vendors such as NOR, NAND, SDRAM, cell phones and handsets, digital still camera and digital camcorder, mid-range consumer products, portable gaming and other portable products where vertical
height is limited. Because of the unique design of the PS-etCSP package, stacking is easily achieved
with proper substrate designs. This creates an opportunity to multiply memory capacity without
increasing board area.
Features:
- Around 200 - 300 I/Os available
- 300 I/O count is available by full cavity substrate PS-etCSP with 0.5 mm pitch, 3 or 4 rows
- 9 - 14 mm Body size planned
- Known Good Device by individual testing prior to stack
- 1.2 mm by et stacked on PS-etCSP
- 1.4 mm mounting height by CABGA / Stacked CSP stacked on PS-etCSP
- Conventional process flow with proven wirebond technology
- MRT JEDEC Level 1 Reliability to 260°C reflow temperature
- Standardized footprints at 0.5 mm pitch
- Two stacked die potential
- Compatible with SMT process
- A variety of CSP-on-CSP configurations to meet customers applications
Thermal Performance:
Amkor’s initial PS-etCSP® packages are offered for low power applications. Higher thermal performance can be achieved by adding a heat spreader or heat sink to the die's exposed backside. In addition, future die-up configurations will provide a direct heat dissipation path into the product motherboard through the die backside.
