| Want to know the Tools/ Process required to get started with CSP prototyping and R & D. | Anyone working on this , please help out. | Depending on the type, size, and pitch - just like BGA's, they aren't tough. Our 1mm types went through prototyping without notice by operators or inspection personnel. Our .8mm required some extra printing care, as inspection (using 3D equipment), almost 1:1 apertures, right-on alignment, and a slightly modified reflow profile to continue using our current paste (SMQ-92J).

Just as BGA's, we X-Ray 100% prototypes and refine processes from there. Reworking 1mm wasn't too bad, but .8's pushed the micro-stencil solder paste application process so we're working on that to improve yields.

Just a note: I'm using the definition of CSP as being a "BGA" package not exceeding 20% of the chip size it encases.

Information given by you is useful.Can you plese suggest equipments to be used for this we are in prototying stage only.

I guess the question is: What do you have now and where do you want to go in terms of volume, product, etc.?
