LSI Logic Licenses EPBGA Package Technology to Global Packaging Leader Amkor Technology MILPITAS, Calif. and WEST CHESTER, Pa., April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- System-on-a-chip leader LSI Logic Corporation (NYSE: LSI) and worldwide packaging leader Amkor Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: AMKR) today announced a licensing agreement that provides Amkor access to LSI Logic's Enhanced Plastic Ball Grid Array (EPBGA) technology, a key component in high volume system-on-a-chip integration. As a result of the agreement, Amkor customers who require cost-effective high-performance package solutions will now be able to leverage LSI Logic's leading edge package technology. LSI Logic previously had licensed its organic laminate flip chip technology to Amkor in December 1998. "We are pleased to have the opportunity to license another key component of LSI Logic's advanced packaging process technology that makes single-chip systems a reality," said John Boruch, president of Amkor. "This package family is well suited to the performance needs of high-end computers and high-speed communications applications." "The endorsement from Amkor, the world's largest contract semiconductor packaging and test services, is yet another building block in the foundation establishing LSI Logic's packaging technology as the industry standard," said Maniam Alagaratnam, LSI Logic vice president of package development. "LSI Logic has consistently provided advanced packaging technology capable of meeting the high performance requirements of system-on-a-chip designs. Amkor utilizes its packaging expertise to ensure that this technology achieves the high volume and reliable production levels expected by customers." The EPBGA package utilizes a four-layer BT laminate substrate that incorporates full power and ground planes. The routing is optimized for excellent electrical performance. The package can be customized to have split power planes to accommodate multiple I/O voltages. The design of the EPBGA provides low capacitance and inductance characteristics. This is ideal for high-speed applications.

Moon, E., Patrick: Obviously we've fallen into a post-earnings Ho-Hum period, and as others have pointed out, buying opportunities are near. I sold at 38, bought at 35 which was premature and was stopped out at 34 3/4, and have twice bought back under 33 1/2. My question is, will we break 33 and test 30-31 soon, or retest the highs first? With the lack of interest lately as well as Tech instability, my gut is that the former will occur first concurrent with the Naz retesting 2300 support. But obviously I'm not confident that will happen because I bought at 33. Patrick, I hope you don't get your 30 1/8, but if you're lucky enough to, I will have stopped out at 32 7/8 and I'll be there also. Of course, if the Dippian theory prevails, 30 will not hold and 26 will be a certainty :) E. what does the SOX look like vs. LSI? cb
