The market for EGA packages is expanding all over the world owing to the ea
se of its mounting onto the PC boards. On the other hand, EGA packages poss
ess certain short-comings compared to QFPs. Anti-solder crack performance o
n Fine Pitch EGA (=FPBGA) and warpage on Mold Army Package-BGA(=MAP-BGA) or
e significant disadvantages. To improve the performance of EGA packages, we
studied various combinations of materials used for EGA package including m
olding compounds, die attach pastes, and substrates.
