Flip Chip Global Market Report 2024

Flip chips, also known as direct chip attach, involve attaching interconnecting dies, such as semiconductor devices, IC chips, integrated passive devices, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), bond pad side down to a substrate or carrier. This packaging approach offers several advantages, including lower cost, high packaging density, improved circuit reliability, and compact dimensions. In the flip-chip packaging process, the chip is linked to the substrate of a package carrier. Any surface of a flip chip can be interconnected, typically using copper, nickel, or soldered metal bumps. These bumps, installed on the die surface, facilitate the electrical connection between the device and the package substrate.

The main types of flip chip packaging technologies include 3D IC, 2.5D IC, and 2D IC. 3D ICs involve creating an integrated circuit (IC) in three dimensions by stacking various chips or wafers vertically into a single package. Different flip chip bumping technologies include copper pillar, solder bumping, tin-lead eutectic solder, and lead-free solder. Flip chips find applications across various industries such as electronics, heavy machinery and equipment, IT and telecommunications, automotive, and others.
