Multi-RF Chip Module Through FOWLP
This paper depicts the development of multiple Pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) semiconductors with AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs developed to realize high power and high-efficiency amplifiers for System-in-Package (SiP) modules. The developed Fan-out package measures 5.27mm X 7.15 mm X 0.15mm, based on the electrical simulation has anticipated gain of approximately 3-4dB, with power consumption < 1-1.5 W. The Re-distribution Layer (RDL) is introduced onto the Au pads at the frontside of the FOWLP to establish interconnections between the respective III-V chips, implementing Under Bump Metallization (UBM) and completes the package with solder bumps, for mounting onto the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The package consists of four RF chips with dies of 50um and 100um die-thicknesses. On the back of the FOWLP, a copper ground plane is plated to build interconnections from the back of the embedded chips through the Though-Mold-Vias (TMVs) to the top of the package, that was introduced to aid heat dissipation when the SiP is turned on.
