<strong>Embedded</strong> Wafer-Level-Package technologies<br />

Fan-out WLP<br />

• Wafers or panels are<br />

(re)configured<br />

FO-WLP<br />

– By placing known good ICs active<br />

face down on a foil and by overmolding<br />

them<br />

– These wafers/panels are then<br />

flipped and processed back in the<br />

wafer fab with RDL, bumping, …<br />

<strong>Embedded</strong><br />

IC in PCB<br />

Chip embedding<br />

(or embedded IC in PCB)<br />

• Known good ICs and picked<br />

– and placed on top of an organic<br />

layer of Printed circuit board<br />

– Subsequent layers are laminated<br />

on top and regular PCB<br />

manufacturing operations take<br />

place on the panel with the<br />

embedded ICs<br />

Both these technologies are considered (n+1) technologies versus<br />

WLCSP. Among others, they offer the following differential benefits:<br />

fan-out area for larger IO densities than WLCSP<br />

Collective wafer level processing of known good dice (KGD)<br />

Higher expected second level reliability (package connection to the<br />

mother board)<br />

Back-side protection<br />

System-in-package and 3D integration capabilities<br />
