Fan Out

This book focuses on the design, materials, process, fabrication, and reliability of flip chip, hybrid bonding, fan-in, and fan-out technology. Both principles and engineering practice have been addressed, with more weight placed on engineering practice. This is achieved by providing in-depth study on a number of major topics such as wafer bumping, flip chip assembly, underfill and reliability, chip-to-wafer, wafer-to-wafer, Cu-Cu hybrid bonding, WLCSP, 6-side molded WLCSP, FOWLP such as hybrid substrates with PID, ABF, and ultra-large organic interposer, the communications between chiplets and heterogeneous integration packaging, and on-board optics, near-package optics, and co-packaged optics.

This comprehensive guide to fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) technology compares FOWLP with flip chip and fan-in wafer-level packaging. It presents the current knowledge on these key enabling technologies for FOWLP, and discusses several packaging technologies for future trends. The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) employed their InFO (integrated fan-out) technology in A10, the application processor for Apple’s iPhone, in 2016, generating great excitement about FOWLP technology throughout the semiconductor packaging community.
