Product description
AN2348
Flip Chips are manufactured with a wafer level process that STMicroelectronics has
developed by attaching solder bumps on I/O pads of the active wafer side, thus allowing
bumped dice to be produced. The I/O contact layout can be either matrix shape or set in
periphery. No redistribution layer is used. This allows parasitic inductances coming from the
redistribution metal tracks to be minimized.
Lead-free bump composition is 98.25% Sn, 1.2% Ag, 0.5% Cu, 0.05% Ni. This is fully
compatible with standard lead-free reflow processes. The bump dimension (255 µm bump
diameter) allows the pick and place process to be compatible with existing equipment (in
particular with equipment used for Ball Grid Array - BGA packages) and makes it also
compatible with the PCB design rules used for standard ICs.
Optional coating on the flat side of the package is available.
These components are delivered in tape and reel packing with the bumps turned down
(placed on the bottom of the carrier tape cavity). The other face of the component is flat and
allows picking as in the standard SMD packages.
Devices are 100% electrically tested before packing. The product references are marked
on the flat side of the device.

Mechanical description
Mechanical dimensions of Flip Chips are provided through a product example in Figure 2.
Bumps are lead-free. Bump composition is 98.25% Sn, 1.2% Ag, 0.5% Cu, 0.05% Ni alloy
with a near eutectic melting point of 218 to 227 °C. Die size and bump count are adapted to
the connection requirements.
