Advanced electronic packaging is at the forefront of enabling higher performance, smaller form factors and greater functionality in today’s devices. The Global Electronics Association’s library of IPC standards for advanced packaging standards provides the global framework for designing, assembling, inspecting, and qualifying next-generation package technologies, from BGAs, flip-chip and bottom termination components to 3D integration and ultra-HDI substrates. These documents address critical aspects of materials, design rules, process implementation and reliability testing, ensuring consistency, manufacturability and long-term performance across the supply chain. Together, they equip companies to manage complexity, reduce risk and accelerate innovation in semiconductor packaging and system-in-package applications.
This document describes the design and assembly challenges and ways to address those challenges for implementing 3D component technology. Recognizing the effects of combining multiple uncased semiconductor die elements in a single-package format can impact individual component characteristics and can dictate suitable assembly methodology. The information contained in this standard focuses on achieving optimum functionality, process assessment, end-product reliability and repair issues associated with 3D semiconductor package assembly and processing.
The IPC-7093A standard provides essential design and assembly guidance for implementing bottom termination components (BTCs). Specifically, IPC-7093A provides guidelines on critical design, materials, assembly, inspection, repair, quality, and reliability issues associated with BTCs.
IPC-7094A describes the design and assembly challenges for implementing flip chip technology in a direct chip attach (DCA) assembly. The effect of bare-die or die-size components in a flip chip format has an impact on component characteristics and dictates the appropriate assembly methodology. The IPC-7094A standard focuses on design, assembly methodology, critical inspection, repair and reliability issues associated with flip chip and die-size package technologies, including wafer-level ball grid array (WLBGA).
It provides useful and practical information to those who mount bare-die or die-size components in a DCA assembly or those who are considering flip chip process implementation.
The IPC-7095E describes design and assembly implementation for ball grid array (BGA) and fine-pitch BGA (FBGA) technology, focusing on inspection, repair and reliability issues associated with design and assembly of printed boards using these packages. IPC-7095E provides the useful and practical information to those who use or are considering using BGAs. IPC-7095E provides descriptions on how to successfully implement robust design and assembly processes for printed board assemblies using BGAs as well as ways to troubleshoot some common anomalies which can occur during BGA assembly.
This specification establishes and defines the qualification and performance requirements for the fabrication of uHDI conductive layers, adjacent dielectric layers and conductive interconnects to uHDI layers. uHDI layers have a line width and/or spacing below 50 microns and/or microvia diameter below 75 microns. Typical manufacturing methods may include advanced subtractive etch, mSAP and SAP.
This standard is a sectional standard which requires the use of IPC-6011, which provides generic requirements for printed board qualification and performance.
IPC-6019 Coming Soon!
This specification establishes and defines the qualification, performance requirements and acceptance requirements for organic IC substrates including wire bonding and flip chip IC substrates products.
IPC-6921 Coming Soon!
This standard provides requirements for automated inspection systems – AOI, AVI or metrology – to define, set-up, establish, and apply process control for manufacturing integrated chip substrates, including general and specific process and equipment conditions. Requirements will include those for operating and inspection parameters, vision systems, lighting conditions, calibration, detectability, resolution, threshold limits and process windows, program setups, measurement system analysis (MSA), maintenance and verification protocols.
This standard is a sectional standard which requires the use of IPC-9711, which provides generic requirements for automated inspection process control.
IPC-9712 Coming Soon!
This standard establishes requirements and considerations for the design of uHDI conductive layers, adjacent dielectric layers and conductive interconnects to uHDI layers. uHDI layers have a line width and/or spacing below 50 microns, and/or microvia diameter below 75 microns.
This standard is a sectional standard which requires the use of IPC-2221, which provides generic requirements for printed board design.
