▪ Warpage:

− CTE mismatch between redistribution layer (RDL) and

epoxy molded compound (EMC)

− Low Young’s modulus of the EMC

▪ Moisture uptake by EMC:

− Long degassing

− Impact on RF properties

▪ Low throughput/yield of through-mold vias formation

▪ Die position errors:

− Placement

− Shift during molding

▪ Ultra low Warpage:

− CTE match of glass to Si Die

− Low Young’s modulus of the glass

▪ No Moisture uptake

▪ High throughput/yield of through-mold vias formation

▪ Die position errors:

− passive die alignment features in glass
