Ball Grid Array Chip Description

In the 1990s, with the advancement of integration technology, the improvement of equipment, and the use of deep submicron technology, LSI, VLSI, and ULSI appeared one after another. The integration level of silicon single chips continued to increase, and the requirements for integrated circuit packaging became stricter. With a sharp increase, the power consumption also increases. In order to meet the needs of development, on the basis of the original packaging varieties, a new variety has been added - ball grid array packaging, referred to as BGA (Ball Grid Array Package).

 

Basic Information

Name: Ball Grid Array Package

Abbreviation: BGA

Features: The thickness is reduced by more than 1/2 compared with QFP, etc.

Classification: PBGA substrate, CBGA substrate

 

Ball Grid Array Technology Introduction

The memory packaged with BGA technology can increase the memory capacity by two to three times while maintaining the same volume. Compared with TSOP, BGA has smaller volume, better heat dissipation performance and electrical performance. BGA packaging technology has greatly improved the storage capacity per square inch. Under the same capacity, memory products using BGA packaging technology are only one-third of the volume of TSOP packaging; in addition, compared with traditional TSOP packaging methods, BGA packaging There is a faster and more effective way to dissipate heat. 

 

The I/O terminals of the BGA package are distributed under the package in the form of circular or columnar solder joints in an array. The advantage of BGA technology is that although the number of I/O pins has increased, the pin spacing has not decreased but increased, thus The assembly yield is improved; although its power consumption increases, BGA can be welded with a controlled collapse chip method, which can improve its electrothermal performance; the thickness and weight are reduced compared with previous packaging technologies; parasitic parameters (large current When the amplitude changes, the output voltage disturbance) decreases, the signal transmission delay is small, and the frequency of use is greatly increased; the assembly can be coplanar welding, and the reliability is high.

 

With its global supply network and years of market experience, Oude Electronics can provide the most accurate spot information, including manufacturer, material code, production date, price, ROHS standard, packaging information and arrival date.

Ball Grid Array Package Features

As soon as BGA appeared, it became the best choice for high-density, high-performance, multi-functional and high I/O pin packaging of VLSI chips such as CPUs and North-South Bridges. Its characteristics are:

1. Although the number of I/O pins has increased, the pin spacing is much larger than that of QFP, which improves the assembly yield;

2. Although its power consumption increases, BGA can be soldered by the controlled collapse chip method, referred to as C4 soldering, which can improve its electrothermal performance;

3. The thickness is reduced by more than 1/2 than that of QFP, and the weight is reduced by more than 3/4;

4. The parasitic parameters are reduced, the signal transmission delay is small, and the frequency of use is greatly increased;

5. Coplanar welding can be used for assembly, with high reliability;

6. BGA packaging is still the same as QFP and PGA, occupying too much substrate area;

 

Intel Corporation uses ceramic needle grid array package CPGA and ceramic ball grid array package for this kind of CPU chip with high integration (more than 3 million transistors in a single chip) and high power consumption, such as Pentium, Pentium Pro, and Pentium II. CBGA, and install a miniature exhaust fan on the shell to dissipate heat, so as to achieve stable and reliable operation of the circuit.

 

BGA ball grid array package

With the development of integrated circuit technology, the packaging requirements for integrated circuits are more stringent. This is because the packaging technology is related to the functionality of the product. When the frequency of the IC exceeds 100MHz, the traditional packaging method may produce the so-called "CrossTalk" phenomenon, and when the number of pins of the IC is greater than 208 Pins, the traditional packaging method has its difficulty. Therefore, in addition to using the QFP packaging method, most of today's high-pin-count chips (such as graphics chips and chipsets, etc.) have turned to BGA (Ball Grid Array Package) packaging technology. As soon as BGA appeared, it became the best choice for high-density, high-performance, multi-pin packages such as CPUs and south/north bridge chips on motherboards.

 

Key Features:

♦Advanced Packaging Technology: The BGA Package utilizes an organic substrate, which is cost-effective and widely used in modern electronics manufacturing. It is designed to accommodate a large number of solder balls that provide a high-density interconnect solution, making it ideal for high-performance applications.

♦Reliable Solder Balls: The BGA Package features high-quality solder balls, which are available in both leaded and lead-free options, making it compliant with environmental regulations. These solder balls ensure reliable electrical connections and are designed to withstand the stresses of thermal cycling and mechanical shock.

♦Efficient Heat Dissipation: The BGA Package is designed with a large thermal pad on the bottom of the package, which enables efficient heat dissipation. This feature is crucial for high-performance applications where heat management is critical to ensure optimal device performance and reliability.

♦Easy Assembly: The BGA Package is designed for ease of assembly, making it suitable for high-volume production. The solder balls are arranged in a regular grid pattern, allowing for automated assembly using pick-and-place machines. This reduces assembly time and labor costs, making it a cost-effective solution for electronic manufacturers.

Classification

1. PBGA (Plastic BGA) substrate: generally a multilayer board composed of 2-4 layers of organic materials. Among Intel series CPUs, Pentium II, III, and IV processors all use this package. In the past two years, another form has appeared: that is, the IC is directly bonded to the board. Its price is much cheaper than the regular price, and it is generally used in games and other fields that do not have strict quality requirements.

2. CBGA (CeramicBGA) substrate: that is, a ceramic substrate, and the electrical connection between the chip and the substrate is usually installed by flip chip (FlipChip, FC for short). Among Intel series CPUs, Pentium I, II, and Pentium Pro processors have all used this package.

3. FCBGA (FilpChipBGA) substrate: hard multi-layer substrate.

4. TBGA (TapeBGA) substrate: The substrate is a strip-shaped soft 1-2 layer PCB circuit board.

5. CDPBGA (Carity Down PBGA) substrate: refers to the chip area (also known as the cavity area) with a square depression in the center of the package.

 

Differences Between CBGA (Ceramic Ball Grid Array) and BGA (Ball Grid Array):

Feature	CBGA	BGA
Material	Ceramic substrate	Organic substrate
Solder Balls	Leaded or lead-free	Leaded or lead-free
Package Size	Typically larger	Can be smaller
Heat Dissipation	Good heat dissipation	Moderate heat dissipation
Reliability	Higher reliability	Lower reliability
Cost	Typically more expensive	Typically less expensive
Electrical Performance	Better electrical performance	Good electrical performance
Applications	High-performance applications	General applications
Assembly	Requires higher level of expertise	Easier to assemble

Note: CBGA is less commonly used nowadays due to concerns about lead content in electronics. BGA has become more popular with the widespread adoption of lead-free soldering in electronics manufacturing.

 

Applications of BGA ball grid array:

♦Microprocessors

♦Graphics processing units (GPUs)

♦Application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs)

♦High-speed communication devices

♦Aerospace and defense systems

♦Automotive electronics
