Electronic Assembly Packaging vertically stacks components.

Press Release Summary:



To meet compact design demands of portable and desktop medical devices, Package on Package (PoP) assembly packaging technology vertically stacks discrete controller and memory Ball Grid Array (BGA) components. This allows multi-chip packages to be integrated for space conservation on PCB and simplifies assembly processes using single flow/reflow, which eliminates thermal stress during assembly. Dedicated assembly flow is designed based on thermal coefficient characteristics of components.

Packaging on Packaging (PoP) Innovation from Express Manufacturing, Inc.



Santa Ana, CA - Express Manufacturing, Inc. (EMI), a leader in Electronics Manufacturing Services, announces another innovation in manufacturing. The demand for more compact design in both portable and desktop medical devices has increased in the past few years. To help achieve that objective, Express Manufacturing, Inc. has introduced a new solution called the Package on Package (PoP). The PoP is the latest assembly packaging technology which vertically stacks a discrete controller and memory Ball Grid Array (BGA) components. It allows Multi Chip Packages to be integrated for greater space savings on the PCB. Instead of occupying multiple flat surface areas on the PCB, this will allow the components to slack up much like a high-rise building.

By investing in PoP capable equipments, EMI has simplified the assembly process using a single flow/reflow which eliminates thermal stress during assembly. Furthermore, a dedicated assembly flow is designed based on the thermal coefficient characteristics of the components.

This is significant as it will increase the reliability of the Electronic Assemblies. PoP will play an important role in component reliability and compact design for Medical Devices in the years to come. For more information on PoP innovation, visit www.eminc.com.
