“Thermal Resistance and Package Mass”
Introduction
Ceramic flip-chip column grid array (CF) packages are surface-mount-compatible
packages using high-temperature solder columns as interconnections to the board.
Compared to the solder spheres, the columns have lower stiffness and provide a higher
stand-off. These features significantly increase the reliability of the solder joints. When
combined with a high-density, multi-layer ceramic substrate, this packaging technology
offers a high-density, reliable packaging solution.
