FCBGA Package: Core with Thin Film Layers

 

 

     Micro-Via in Pad
         
In AMITEC's substrate, the micro-vias, electrically connecting the build-up layers in the z-axis, are metal filled. The manufacturing  technology used to create these micro-vias, involves metal pillar formations  followed  by  dielectric  coating  and polishing  steps  to expose the pillars top surfaces. Following, another  build-up  metal layer can be formed on top  of each  exposed  pillar (via) surface  allowing  electrical  contact  as  designed. This  patented  interconnect  technology  allows  parallel  formation  of  hundreds  of thousands   of  vias  per substrate   with  minimum  via  diameter  of 10µm. Since  all  vias  are  filled  and  planarized, they can  be  structured  directly under  the  flip chip pads  of  the  substrate. This  saves  expensive  real-estate on the substrate surface, allows more wiring to go in and out from the chip  and reduces the total number of build-up layers.
 
                Micro-via  under  a  flip  chip  pad  is shown in this cross section picture. The top via diameter is 10µm.  The flat bump on top  of the  flip  chip  pad  is used  to  assemble  the  chip  to  the substrate.
