Flip chip placement and bonding

Technology

Flip Chip bonding (FCB) is a method of attaching electronic devices to interconnection boards without the use of wire bonds. Typically, the I/O pads of the device have solder bumps, which are used to connect the chip directly to the board, providing both electrical contact and mechanical attachment. Adhesive based and ultrasonic bonding versions of FCB are also available. FCB is used to increase device packing on the board and improve especially high frequency performance.
