When asked about their long-standing expectations for electronic products, people will respond without hesitation with the following keywords: smaller, lighter, faster, and more multi-functional. Advanced printed circuit board assembly technologies, such as PoP (Package on Package) technology, have been widely adopted and implemented to assist modern electronic devices in meeting those criteria.
In a nutshell, "package on package" refers to the practice of stacking components or ICs (Integrated Circuits) together on a motherboard. PoP is a cutting-edge packaging technique that allows the integration of multiple integrated circuits (ICs) into a single package with logic and memory devices in the top and bottom packages, increasing memory density and performance while decreasing mounting area. The regular structure and the TMV structure are the two structural types of PoP. Memory devices or stacked memories are typically placed in the top package, and logic devices are placed in the bottom package.
The TMV (Through Mould Via) structure implements its internal connection between logic and memory devices in the bottom package via a mould. It is a revised version of a PoP standard structure. Package on package surface mount assembly relies on two critical technologies: pre-stacked PoP and on-board stacking PoP. The main difference is how frequently they reflow solder: the former does it twice, while the latter only once.
Because of its numerous advantages, OEMs are increasingly implementing Package on Package technology:
The features of PoP work flawlessly on a wide range of portable electronic devices, including mobile phones, digital cameras, portable media players, personal digital assistants, and other gaming and music equipment.
