Low Cost Chip Last Fanout Package using Coreless Substrate

Smart phones & other portable devices have dominated Semiconductor growth, and drive IC packages smaller, lighter & thinner, but at the same time they continue to integrate more functions in that smaller volume. Besides SOC solutions driven by design houses or system companies, we have seen more packages of Quad Flat Non-lead (QFN), wafer level CSP (WLCSP), fan out WLCSP (FOWLP) and system in package (SIP) being widely used in these smart phones & mobile devices. Two factors have driven a new package technology within the last 10 years. One is the advancing technology nodes which allow the shrinkage of die, allowing more die per wafer. However this comes at the cost of reduced package area for I/Os such as solderball interconnects. The second factor also relates to the advancing technology nodes. Not all silicon functionality benefits from there advanced nodes, and merely adds to the cost of the die. This has driven the partitioning of device functionality into multiple die, which in turn requires effecti...
