Amkor Receives Advanced Packaging Award for 3+ Die Stack

CHANDLER, Ariz., Jul 24, 2002 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Amkor Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMKR) went vertical at SEMICON West last week, receiving a coveted 2002 Advanced Packaging Award for its 3+ Die Stacked Chip Scale Package. Amkor's 3+ S-CSP is a multi-chip package that provides high levels of silicon integration to conserve mounting board area, weight and packaging / system cost, with a total profile height of similar single chip packages. Primary applications for these packages are cellular phones, PDAs, notebook computers, navigational aids and other, feature-rich portable products that require low profile, light weight packaging.

The 2002 Advanced Packaging Awards were sponsored by Advanced Packaging magazine. Products were judged by an independent panel of industry experts who evaluated such characteristics as innovation, cost effectiveness, speed / throughput improvements, quality, ease of use, maintainability and environmental responsibility.

"We are delighted to receive this Advanced Packaging Award, which reflects the ongoing efforts of our engineers to develop 3-D package solutions that enable ongoing miniaturization of high technology applications," said Mike Steidl, Amkor's vice president of advanced product development.

Amkor's 3+ S-CSP packages have profile heights of 1.00, 1.20 or 1.40 mm, depending on the number of die to be stacked. Because Amkor's S-CSP have the same package outline as other Amkor and JEDEC single chip packages, customers may incorporate the S-CSP within their existing back-end infrastructure / processes.
