Abstract Increased functionality requirements coupled with progressively reducing package size have necessitated the integration of flip chip packages into various baseband and application processor products in mobile platforms
Such products use flip chip technology using traditional capillary underfill (CUF) process on a strip based package which is subsequently over molded to finish the end-product assembly
The growing pricing pressures and competitive landscape in mobile-packaging has made it imperative for assembly subcontractors to drive the flip chip assembly cost down
To achieve this without compromis
