UCSP Package Consideration
For general UCSP package information and PC layout
considerations, please refer to the Maxim Application
Note (Wafer-Level Ultra-Chip-Board-Scale Package).
UCSP Reliability
The chip-scale package (UCSP) represents a unique
packaging form factor that may not perform equally to a
packaged product through traditional mechanical relia-
bility tests. UCSP reliability is integrally linked to the
user’s assembly methods, circuit board material, and
usage environment. The user should closely review
these areas when considering use of a UCSP package.
Performance through Operating Life Test and Moisture
Resistance remains uncompromised as it is primarily
determined by the wafer-fabrication process.
Mechanical stress performance is a greater considera-
tion for a UCSP package. UCSPs are attached through
direct solder contact to the user’s PC board, foregoing
the inherent stress relief of a packaged product lead
frame. Solder joint contact integrity must be consid-
ered. Information on Maxim’s qualification plan, test
data, and recommendations are detailed in the UCSP
application note, which can be found on Maxim’s web-
site at www.maxim-ic.com.
