Packaging, Test & Assembly Process Overview
Service Detail from Top Seiko Co., Ltd.
The Packaging, Test, and Assembly process is a crucial stage in semiconductor manufacturing, ensuring that chips are durable, reliable, and ready for integration into devices like smartphones, IoT systems, and industrial equipment.
These steps transform delicate wafers into robust and functional electronic components that meet the demands of modern technology.
Packaging
Packaging provides physical protection for semiconductor devices, shields them from environmental hazards, and manages heat dissipation during operation.
It also enables electrical connections between the chip and external systems, making it an essential process for device functionality.
Key packaging techniques include:
- Wire Bonding: Using thin wires to connect chip pads to external pins.
- Flip-Chip Bonding: Directly connecting solder bumps on the chip to the substrate for higher performance and compact design.
- System-in-Package (SiP): Combining multiple components, such as processors and sensors, into a single, compact package for multi-functional applications.
