Wafer-level packaging

31: 76:(CSP) technology, since the resulting package is practically of the same size as the die. Wafer-level packaging allows integration of wafer fab, packaging, test, and burn-in at wafer level in order to streamline the manufacturing process undergone by a device from silicon start to customer shipment. As of 2009, there is no single industry-standard method of wafer-level packaging. 69:. In WLP, the top and bottom layers of the packaging and the solder bumps are attached to the integrated circuits while they are still in the wafer. This process differs from a conventional process, in which the wafer is sliced into individual circuits (dice) before the packaging components are attached. 129:
There are two kinds of wafer level packaging: fan-in and fan-out. Fan-in WLCSP packages have an interposer that is the same size as that of the die, where as fan-out WLCSP packages have an interposer that is larger than the die, similar to conventional BGA packages, the difference being that the

interposer is built directly atop the die, instead of the die being attached to it and reflowed using the flip chip method. This is also true in fan-in WLSCP packages. In both cases, the die with its interposer may be covered in encapsulating material such as

Wafer-level chip scale packaging (WL-CSP) is the smallest package currently available on the market and is produced by OSAT (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test) companies, such as
