Underside of an 80486 with lid removed shows die and wire bonded connections. The chip can be mounted either on the top or the bottom (the pinned side). Connections can be made either by wire bonding or through flip chip mounting. Typically, PGA packages use wire bonding when the chip is mounted on the pinned side, and flip chip construction ...
Flip chip, also known as controlled collapse chip connection or its abbreviation, C4, [1] is a method for interconnecting dies such as semiconductor devices, IC chips, integrated passive devices and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), to external circuitry with solder bumps that have been deposited onto the chip pads.
Drawing of a tape-automated bonding carrier and definitions of various parts of the TAB assembly. Tape-automated bonding (TAB) is a process that places bare semiconductor chips (dies) like integrated circuits onto a flexible circuit board (FPC) by attaching them to fine conductors in a polyamide or polyimide (like trade names Kapton or UPILEX) film carrier.
Wire bonding is a method of making interconnections between an integrated circuit (IC) or other semiconductor device and its packaging during semiconductor device fabrication. Wire bonding can also be used to connect an IC to other electronics or to connect from one printed circuit board (PCB) to another, although these are less common. Wire ...
In "wire bonding", the chip is attached to the board with an adhesive. Each pad on the device is connected with a fine wire lead that is welded to the pad and to the circuit board. This is similar to the way that an integrated circuit is connected to its lead frame, but instead the chip is wire-bonded directly to the circuit board. [3]
bonding pads for off-chip connections (often using wire bonding) are normally located along the periphery of the chip; line drivers often have to be located as close to bonding pads as possible; chip area is therefore in some cases given a minimum area in order to fit in the required number of pads;
Gold wire ball-bonded to a gold contact pad. Contact pads or bond pads are small, conductive surface areas of a printed circuit board (PCB) or die of an integrated circuit. They are often made of gold, copper, or aluminum and measure mere micrometres wide. Pads are positioned on the edges of die, to facilitate connections without shorting.
Flat no-lead is a near chip scale plastic encapsulated package made with a planar copper lead frame substrate. Perimeter lands on the package bottom provide electrical connections to the PCB . [ 1 ] Flat no-lead packages usually, but not always, include an exposed thermally conductive pad to improve heat transfer out of the IC (into the PCB).
