Design, Fabrication, and Reliability of Low-Cost Flip-Chip-On-Board Package for Commercial Applications up to 50 GHz

Design Guidance for the Mechanical Reliability of Low-K Flip Chip BGA Package

Flip Chip Ball Grid Array (FCBGA) package has been introduced in recent years to address the needs in the microelectronic packaging industry for increasing performance and I/O density, which offers a cost effective solution with smaller form factor. Furthermore, Cu interconnects with low-k dielectric material were also introduced to reduce power consumption and further enhance device performanc...

Design for Flip-Chip and Chip-Size Package Technology

As new generations of electronic products emerge they often surpass the capability of existing packaging and interconnection technology and the infrastructure needed to support newer technologies. This movement is occurring at all levels: at the IC, at the IC package, at the module, at the hybrid, the PC board which ties all the systems together. Interconnection density and methodology becomes ...

50 GHz Broadband SMT Package for Microwave Applications

Due to the rapid growth in the use of Internet and mobile communications, the high speed transmission capacity requirements have been increasing at a high rate. As a result of this, the semiconductor and packaging technologies have seen significant advances. Especially, wireless communication systems in the microwave/millimeter wave bands, such as LMDS (Local Multipoint Distribution System), Po...

Design and Technology of Ultra Thin Chip Packages for High-Frequency Applications up to 60 GHz

Design and Fabrication of a 9–11 GHz Balanced Low Noise Amplifier Using HJFET

This paper describes the design of an X-band balanced low noise amplifier (LNA) using an available HJFET device. The balanced LNA consists of a pair of electrically similar transistors whose input and output signals are divided or combined by 3 dB two-stage Wilkinson power dividers. The proposed balanced LNA is fabricated and measured. The measured results show that the noise figure is 1.30 dB ...
