Electronic packaging is defined as a system assembly that does not include a chip or chips in terms of the system in packaging (SiP) definition. In general, an electronic packaging consists of four major functions: powering, signal distribution, mechanical protection, and thermal management. There are many types of electronic packaging, depending on the number of input/outputs (IOs) and applications. Electronic packaging can be in a single module or in a system and has been evolving rapidly. Many excellent books in packaging have been published [1,2] but there is no intention of reviewing them here. However, it is worthwhile to point out the rich development of electronic packaging by presenting a roadmap of single chip integrated circuit (IC) packaging development in Figure 2.1. Figure 2.2 presents the latest development in IC packaging: through silicon via (TSV) based three-dimensional (3D) packaging.Due to the introductory nature of this section, we only focus on a popular technology, flipchip, to show the evolution of the materials and processes involved. Figure 2.3 shows an IC flip-chip packaging on an FR4 board, demonstrating a two-level packaging, in a typical control board for an engine control system. Figure 2.4 shows a cross-sectional view of a flip-chip packaging, showing clearly the local features of flip-chip interconnects. In this figure, the passivation layer provides the protection for the silicon chip which is done on the wafer level.
