Simple and inexpensive semiconductor devices in earlier generations of electronic systems were easily discarded or recycled when they were damaged either before or during the printed circuit board ...

Electronic devices continue to shrink in size with advancement in chip fabrication technology. Packaging technology has responded with improved formats to present these chips for assembly to PCBs.

PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spirit Electronics, a value-added microelectronics distributor, is rolling out additional capacity for its automated BGA reballing service. Spirit’s high-efficiency ...

The unparalleled pin density and low lead inductance of ball grid arrays (BGA) are essential in today’s high pin count, high frequency integrated circuits. However, that same pin density and unique ...

[Jack Gassett] is developing a new breakout board for an FPGA. The chip comes in a ball grid array (BGA) package which is notoriously difficult to solder reliably. Since he’s still in development, the ...

Thermal interface materials (TIMs) have been widely adopted for improved thermal dissipation in flip chip ball grid array (FCBGA), flip chip lidded ball grid array (FCLGA) and flip chip pin grid array ...
