FLIP CHIP BONDING

Flip Chip (C4), is a method of interconnecting IC chips with solder balls/ bumps that have been deposited onto the top side IC chip bond pads to a substrate. Flip Chip requirements of 150um to 250 um pitch. Solder balls/ bumps are eutectic (Sn63Pb37) or lead free (SAC305).

Flip Chip (Cu Pillar), is a method of interconnecting IC chips with fine pitch copper pillar. It is often recommended for high frequency applications with compact dimensions and 30um to 130um pitch, enabling higher I/O counts, short interconnection paths and small form factor.

Underfill is applied to the stand-off distance between the flip chip die and substrate with a non-conductive adhesive after the flip chip die is connected. Underfill provides stress relief, robustness, and moisture protection.
