Fan-out redistribution layer extending beyond the die

Other Packaging

Fan-Out Packaging

Fan-Out packaging redistributes connections beyond the die surface, enabling more I/O, finer routing, a thinner profile, and flexible single- or multi-die integration without a conventional package substrate or full interposer.

What is Fan-Out Packaging?

Known-good dies are placed on a temporary carrier or reconstituted wafer or panel, embedded in mold compound, and connected through redistribution layers formed over both the chip and the surrounding fan-out area.

Unlike fan-in WLP, the available I/O field is not limited to the die surface. Connections can route outward across the molded area, supporting more external I/Os and a thin true chip-scale package.

Applications

High-volume fan-out serves PMICs, RF packages, baseband processors, and networking systems that need energy-efficient, thin, small-form-factor integration.

New high-frequency opportunities include 76–81GHz automotive radar, 5G backhaul and fronthaul above 20GHz, 60GHz WiGig, and antenna-in-package modules.
