EnSilica provides full support throughout the process to ensure smooth and successful project execution

Packaging Design and Manufacture

At EnSilica, our Packaging Development Process is designed to ensure that every solution is tailored to meet the unique needs of each customer, from concept to final product.

  • Customer-Centric Approach: The Packaging Development Process at EnSilica starts with a deep dive into customer requirements. This includes a comprehensive assessment of the application environment, size constraints, lead pitch, relevant industry standards, cost considerations, as well as electrical and thermal performance needs.
  • Tailored Package Selection: Based on these insights, EnSilica collaborates closely with customers to determine the optimal package type. Whether it’s leaded or leadless, flip chip or wire bond, leadframe or substrate-based, or even wafer-level chip scale packaging (WLCSP), the selection is driven by precise application requirements.
  • Rigorous Design and Supplier Selection: A detailed package design specification is then developed, followed by the careful selection of an appropriate package supplier. This step includes a comprehensive package design checklist and a supplier design feasibility study, ensuring all design parameters are thoroughly evaluated and met for successful execution
  • We cooperate with a range of Package Assembly Partners including ASE and Unisem to ensure even the most complex  packaging options can be implemented.

                                                                 

Production Test Development

At EnSilica, production test development is a crucial component of our manufacturing services, meticulously designed to ensure the highest standards of quality and reliability for high-volume semiconductor products.
