1. Characteristics

With the unique resin based polymer core, various stress and pressure can be relieved and precise gap control can be achieved

1High reliability

  • Underfill unnecessary
    Narrow pitch
    Large PKG
  • High connection reliabilty
    PKG: WLCSP 5.0X5.0mm 0.4mmpitch 121pin

2Maintains excellent stand-off and co-planarity

Maintains excellent stand-off and flatness
Polymer core can maintain the gap to keep an excellent stand-off and flatness

  • <MP-SOL>
    Micropearl SOL: Polymer core solder ball

    The gap is maintained by the polymer core even after chip mounting

  • Normal solder ball
    Normal solder ball

    Collapse occurs due to package weight during solder reflow process
