Advanced Packaging

ST offers customers to choose the advanced package that fits all of their needs: from standard TQFP to more advanced products such as BGAs, Ultra Small Leadless Packages and Multichip solutions.

 

Packaging
 
Ball Grid Array Packages (BGA)
ST's offer in BGA packages fits all customer needs with a wide range of solutions: from Plastic BGA to Thin Fine Pitch BGA (TFBGA) down to 0.5mm ball pitch.
ST advanced BGA packaging technology allows designers to optimize applications requiring high-performance -- reliability, thermal and electrical performance -- and body size reduction.

BGA Package Height Ball Pitch
PBGA - Plastic BGA higher than 1.7mm -
LBGA - Low profile BGA 1.7mm max 1mm
LFBGA - Low profile Fine pitch BGA 1.7mm max 0.5 to 0.8 mm
TFBGA - Thin Fine pitch BGA 1.2mm max 0.5 to 0.8 mm
 
Flip-Chip Chip Scale Packaging (CSP)
Flip-Chip technology is based on solder balls interconnections bumped on the BGA package.
There is no more wire bond pads to connect the die to the leads. The solder balls connect directly the die to the package. This kind of connection allows a significant improvement of electrical performance -- low impedance and low inductance.
