First, we need to understand what packaging is, which refers to the casing installed on semiconductor integrated circuit chips. It serves to place, fix, seal, protect the chip, and enhance thermal performance, while also acting as a bridge between the internal world of the chip and the external circuit, allowing for different appearances based on … Read more
