STATS ChipPAC Wins 2008 Advanced Packaging Award for New Flip Chip Package Integration Technology
UNITED STATES–(EMWNews – July 21, 2008) – – SINGAPORE — 7/22/2008 — STATS ChipPAC
Ltd. (“STATS ChipPAC” or the “Company”) (SGX-ST: STATSChP) (
leading semiconductor test and advanced packaging service provider, today
announced it has won the 2008 Advanced Packaging Award in the 3D Packaging
Technology category for its Flip Chip Package-In-Package solution. This is
the second consecutive year in which STATS ChipPAC has been honored by the
Advanced Packaging Awards for achievements in 3D packaging technology. In
2007, STATS ChipPAC won the 3D Packaging Award for its innovative Fan-in
Package-on-Package (FiPoP) technology.
Flip Chip Package-In-Package (fcPiP) is an advanced flip chip integration
technology that combines the baseband, memory and analog functions of a
mobile communication device into a single package. The fcPiP effectively
integrates flip chip and wire bond interconnection within the same package
structure to deliver increased speed, performance and miniaturization. It
provides greater functional integration in a smaller form factor with an
overall reduction in total cost as compared to other 3D package stacking
solutions and is ideal for mobile phones and other portable consumer
electronics.
“We are very honored to receive the 2008 Advanced Packaging Award for our
fcPiP technology. The fcPiP is a flip chip integration package with an
innovative architecture that combines multiple package integration schemes
within a very small package to die ratio. The combined greater functional
integration in a smaller form factor with an overall reduction in total
cost as compared to other 3D package stacking solutions will help our
customers to be even more successful in the highly competitive mobile phone
and other handheld applications market,” said Dr. Han Byung Joon, STATS
ChipPAC’s Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer.
Instituted in 2004, the Advanced Packaging Awards honor the products and
technologies that have shaped the semiconductor industry over the years.
This year’s program recognized outstanding companies with innovative
technology advancements in 19 categories, one of which was 3D Packaging.
Selection criteria for the winners of the Advanced Packaging Awards were
evaluated based on their ability to meet a significant industry challenge,
creative application of a new or existing technology, overall quality and
consistency of performance, economic merits, and throughput
characteristics.
The winners of the 2008 Advanced Packaging Awards were recognized during a
ceremony that took place on July 16, 2008 at the St. Regis Hotel, San
Francisco.
