As integrated circuit functionality and clock speed continue to rise, innovative packaging approaches are in great demand. Recently, the plastic ball grid array (PBGA) technology has been gaining industry-wide interest and commitment as the potentially lowest-cost package for high-I/O devices and even for some lower-pincount applications. Drivers include the density advantages of an area array, quickly achieving six-sigma assembly yields with existing assembly equipment, the potential for excellent electrical and thermal performance, along with the traditional low cost of plastic packages. Because some perceived weaknesses are being eradicated, worldwide evaluation of the PBGA has accelerated. Although various aspects of this technology are discussed frequently, an overall assessment is still under development. In this paper, a systematic and comprehensive evaluation of PBGA technology will be described to identify (1) its technical advantages and limitations, (2) unique application areas where PBGA is the package of choice, and (3) current major hurdles for acceptance of PBGA and possible approaches to overcome these problems. The PBGA will be compared with PQFP, CQFP and CBGA in terms of package characteristics and their impact on system assembly. The characteristics include package attributes (i.e., package size, I/O counts and lead pitch), performance (i.e., electrical, thermal) and reliability (moisture). At the system level, solder joint fatigue, board routing, solder assembly yield, solder reparability and board delay are key metrics. The cost implication of various package families will be discussed. By analogy with SMT, the infrastructure for PBGA will take time to develop. The key elements and the current status of this infrastructure will be discussed.
