In addition, AIT will provide a turnkey service that includes assembly, final test and tape and reel services for Flextronics. AIT's QFN packages have been selected due to their superior electrical and thermal performance.
"AIT's QFN package enables us to leverage power, footprint and performance that renders improved reliability while catering to the fast growing consumer electronics market," said Arnold Virrey, packaging manager at Flextronics Semiconductor. "Our long term relationship with AIT as well as their ability to offer a complete turnkey solution that includes assembly, test and tape and real services made them a natural choice."
"Flextronics' use of AIT's QFN package design further demonstrates our ability to assist customers by delivering an array of competitive advantages in size, power and performance," said Rodger Fujinaga, vice president of North American sales at AIT. "With our advanced packaging solutions, we are raising the bar in performance, ease, compatibility and physical design."
QFN packages are superior to traditional leaded packages because they do not have gull wing leads which can act as antennas and create "noise" in high frequency applications. In addition, the QFN package also provides better thermal performance because of its exposed leadframe pad, which provides a direct path for removing heat from the package.
