FC PCB Assembly

FC PCB Assembly refers to a board-level assembly service that centers on Flip-Chip technology. It involves directly soldering the electrical side of the chip face-down onto the substrate pads, supplemented by processes such as underfilling, laser ball placement, and BGA packaging. This technology achieves "the shortest interconnection, the lowest parasitics, and the highest density".
  • Maximum panel size 54 inches
  • Maximum panel thickness 0.450 inches

How Does FC PCB Assembly Works

FC PCB Assembly (Flip-Chip PCB Assembly) mounts bare die face-down onto the PCB using gold/aluminum wire bonding or solder bumps, then under-fills and encapsulates — achieving “chip-level board packaging” with shortest interconnects.

1. Die Prep — wafer dicing, bumping (Au/Ni-Au/SAC)
2. Flip-Chip Bond — face-down bonding, ±5 µm precision
3. Under-fill — epoxy/silicone encapsulation, shear ≥80 MPa
4. Mixed Assembly — SMT control + FC high-density, thick-copper 4-20 oz
5. Test & Delivery — AOI + X-Ray + shear test, -55~125 ℃ verified
