Flip Chip Die-to-Wafer Bonding Review: Gaps to High Volume Manufacturing

Flip chip die-to-wafer bonding faces challenges for industry adoption due to a variety of technical gaps or process integration factors that are not fully developed to high volume manufacturing (HVM) maturity. In this paper,flip-chip and wire bonding are compared, then flip-chip bonding techniques are compared to examine advantages for scaling and speed. Specific recent 3-year trends in flip-chip die-to-wafer bonding are reviewed to address the key gaps and challenges to HVM adoption. Finally, some thoughts on the care needed by the packaging technology for successful HVM introduction are reviewed.
