SINGAPORE -- 9/16/2008, UNITED STATES--(Marketwire - September 15, 2008) - STATS ChipPAC Ltd. ("STATS ChipPAC" or the "Company") (SGX-ST: STATSChP) (SES: S24), a leading semiconductor test and advanced packaging service provider, today introduced a new Pre-Stacked Package-on-Package (PoP) solution that includes both a top and bottom PoP package that are assembled and tested separately, then stacked and reflowed together to produce a complete high performance three dimensional (3D) solution.

The rapid adoption and growth of PoP, particularly in the mobile phone market, has led to a number of new top and bottom PoP packages being introduced. In a standard PoP process flow, the top and bottom PoP packages are separately assembled, tested and shipped to a surface mount technology (SMT) provider for final integration. When top and bottom PoP packages are stacked and reflowed together during the surface mount process, high reflow temperatures can cause warpage in both the top and bottom PoP packages, resulting in yield loss.

STATS ChipPAC has developed a Pre-Stacked PoP solution which consists of a fully assembled and tested top PoP mounted on top of a fully assembled and tested bottom PoP package. The top and bottom PoP are reflowed together at the packaging level to provide customers a fully integrated, fully tested solution with tightly controlled warpage that achieves higher board mount yields as compared to conventional PoP packages.

"Pre-Stacked PoP provides our customers with a new approach to integrating multiple die and diverse technologies in a reduced footprint. The Pre-Stacked PoP assembly process is unique in that we added a reflow step to our full turnkey manufacturing flow to provide semiconductor companies with a pre-stacked, pre-tested solution that can be delivered directly to their end customers. Pre-Stacked PoP can be easily placed onto a printed circuit board through the same surface mount process as standard components," said Dr. Han Byung Joon, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, STATS ChipPAC.

Dr. Han continued, "Pre-Stacked PoP is a great solution for applications such as Solid State Drive and mobile internet devices where customers are looking for a cost effective way to increase memory density, increase yields and achieve higher performance levels in a small form factor. Our innovative Pre-Stacked PoP design has the flexibility to accommodate the special die size and interconnection requirements for these applications."

In a typical Solid State Drive, logic and memory devices are sourced separately and placed side-by-side on the application board. With the versatile design of Pre-Stacked PoP, complex logic and memory devices are assembled, tested, stacked and reflowed together to achieve a single high performance, high capacity solution in a small footprint.
