FCBGA Package: Core-less with Thin Film Layers

 

 

     Package Bandwidth
         
One of the most  important  parameters  characterizing  the  performance  level  of an advanced  Flip Chip  BGA (FCBGA) package is it's  bandwidth. Package  bandwidth  significantly depends on the transmission  lines running in and on the  substrate. A transmission line bandwidth is identified by the highest frequency that can be  transferred  through a transmission  path  with  an acceptable loss. A  customary acceptable bandwidth is > -3dB of energy  passes. Usually a lot  of  design and  process  attention  are  given  to the  substrate’s  transmission lines in the XY planes (layers)  due  to  their  considerable  length. However, as  frequency  climbs  up, one must pay attention to  signal loss due to Z axis  signal  passage  through  the substrate.  AMITEC  core-less substrate  perfectly addresses  this issue, enabling up to 6 XY layers with total  thickness  of less  then 300µm, allowing  maximum Signal, Power  and  Ground  management  while ensuring minimum signal loss through the package.
