Abstract;A high-density packaging technology is necessary to realize miniaturization and better performance of mobile electronics products like cellular phones and personal digital assistants. One of the most promising technologies is three-dimensional (3D)-stacked packaging technology. This paper describes a newly developed ultra high-density 3D-stacked package called a flexible carrier folded real chip size package (FFCSP). The stacked-FFCSP is fabricated by stacking very thin single chip packages (single-chip FFCSP) of real chip size on top of one another. Each single chip FFCSP consists of an LSI chip and a small piece of flexible printed circuit (FPC), which has an insulating layer made of thermoplastic resin. The advantages of the stacked-FFCSP are its small size, thinness, highly flexible assembly, and good test yield compared with conventional stacked multi-chip packages (S-MCPs). The FFCSP will enable future miniaturization and raise the functionality of the next trend of mobile electronics products. (author abst.)
