Ultra-Compact, High-Performance Packaging for Power and RF Applications

Amkor’s Flip Chip MicroLeadFrame® (fcMLF®/fcQFN/SON/DFN) package delivers cutting-edge performance in a compact, cost-effective form factor. Designed with a copper leadframe substrate and advanced interconnect technology, this near-CSP plastic-encapsulated solution supports all of Amkor’s bumping options, including copper pillar and Pb-free solder. The result? Up to 70% smaller package size compared to traditional wire-bonded MicroLeadFrame packages of the same die size—enabling sleeker designs and higher functionality.

Engineered for reliability and efficiency, the fcMLF package features perimeter lands for robust electrical connections to the Printed Wiring Board (PWB). It also incorporates Amkor’s ExposedPad technology, delivering superior thermal and electrical performance. By exposing the die attach paddle on the bottom surface, heat is efficiently dissipated when soldered directly to the PWB—ensuring optimal power handling and long-term device reliability.

Smaller. Smarter. Cooler. Amkor’s flip-chip MicroLeadFrame is the ideal solution for next-generation applications that demand high performance with a minimal footprint.

애플리케이션

fcMLF Package

Amkor’s fcMLF package delivers unmatched versatility and reliability for today’s high-performance applications. Ideal for power management ICs (PMICs), DC/DC converters, and RF switches, fcMLF combines advanced design with proven manufacturing excellence to meet the demands of compact, energy-efficient systems.

To ensure compliance and ease of assembly, fcMLF supports wettable flank designs—including dimple and step-cut configurations—enabling fast, accurate visual inspection without X-ray after board mounting. This feature is critical for automotive-grade devices, where quality assurance and reliability are non-negotiable.

With its space-saving footprint, robust thermal performance, and automotive-ready inspection capability, fcMLF is the smart choice for engineers seeking innovation without compromise.

Cross Section

Amkor’s fcMLF technology delivers advanced performance through several key innovations. Copper pillar bumping enables a fine 160 μm bump pitch for leadframe designs, supporting higher-density interconnects. Molded underfill (MUF) eliminates the need for costly traditional underfill processes, while flux dipping of the die removes the requirement for pre-tinning the leadframe, streamlining assembly. The Saw MLF® process flow ensures precision and reliability.

This package offers superior thermal management and high-frequency signal performance, proven to operate at ≥20 GHz and capable of handling more than 4 W—making it an ideal solution for power management IC (PMIC) applications.
