Abstract

Embedded Wafer Level Ball Grid Array (eWLB) is one of the most advantageous packaging technologies with respect to higher I/O density, process easiness, integration flexibilities and electrical performance. When it comes to high-frequency (HF), the latter has to be considered particularly. The Quad Flat no Leads Package (VQFN) has often been the choice due to good HF-performance. We present the comparison of the two package technologies eWLB and VQFN. In this paper we present an optimized 24 GHz chip-package-board transition. We compare the performance of an eWLB package to a VQFN package. We focus on a single-ended transition. We obtain a simulated insertion loss better than -0.5 dB in eWLB compared to -1.5 dB in VQFN. In this contribution we show the outstanding potential of the eWLB package for mm-wave applications.
