EE News is a valuable source of information for many aspects of the electronics industry. I just did a search on "Flip Chip" and I got back more information than I could read in a day, but it's a good starting point. Check out sumnet.com There should be a sidebar with a Search EN. Happy reading. Regards, Mark

Cap'n Dennis; Go over to the Lonestar growth Investor Site at: members.aol.com Go down into the October articles and click on the article on flip chips. It's a pretty good summary of the area still. The only difference is that HDCO has since acquired CCIR one potential flex assembler; and AFLX has "caught up" with SFLX by offering FCOF types of assembly technologies in their Thailand Plant, which is the latest variety of assembly. As I understand INVX, its subsidiary is aiming to get into the flip chip final assembly business, separate and apart from its DD activities.. Also check out "Flip Chip Technologies" Homesite- FCT is their Joint Venture between Delco Electronics and Kulicke and Sofa. They make flip chip components- parts which guys like Innovex will assemble. The FCT Homesite has some nice pictures of the process... The driving force behind gluing a chip right to a board versus having traditional leads, is to shrink the total space that the board assembly takes and also to let the board be flexible and therefore bendable - i.e., make smaller electronics gear and fit into say a pager or a watch,etc. What consumers and also telecommunications companies want....
