Amkor’s electrical team members are experienced in the latest
simulation tools and packaging technology. This allows our world class
electrical team to reduce design cycle times and provide expert advice
and services to customers.
Amkor plays a leading role in supporting customers in the
development of next generation packages and electronic technology
for existing and emerging products. Our unparalleled level of electrical
design expertise provides the following “best in class” electrical
services:
• Highly trained and experienced staff members
• High quality, reliable and accurate designs
• Design for Performance (DFP), Design for Cost (DFC) and Design
for Manufacturing (DFM)
• Excellent customer design collaboration to meet electrical, thermal
and mechanical requirements
Going Beyond the Basics
With rapidly increasing data transfer rates, the need to optimize
package layout and electrical performance is ever more crucial.
Delivering an optimum package design requires more than just a
robust layout and post-layout electrical simulation; it requires close
interaction with customers and substantial engineering support during
the entire layout phase. Amkor’s electrical engineering team works
closely with customers and package designers to make sure the
package layout meets the required signal integrity (SI) and power
integrity (PI) performance specifications. Our electrical analysis tools
are tightly integrated with package layout tools and the assistance of
our design automation team. As a result, electrical constraints can be
passed to the design team during the design process, thus minimizing
electrical design rule violations. This allows for quicker design
turnaround times while delivering a reliable and cost effective solution.
Comprehensive design optimization is possible by using electrical,
thermal and mechanical characterization. With Amkor’s co-design
methodology, signal and power integrity issues can be predicted in a
timely manner and fixed well before expensive prototypes are built.
Amkor’s experts can also help identify and optimize cost-effective
thermal and mechanical solutions that satisfy our customers’ operating
conditions and reliability expectations.

With every shrinking silicon node, faster I/O buffers and decreasing
operating margins, signal and power integrity is a critical element of
package design. Voltage fluctuations in the power distribution network
due to IR drop, Ldi/dt noise or LC resonance seriously impact package
performance. At Amkor, we have highly integrated signal and power
integrity analysis capabilities. Packages are characterized with
multiple simulations by exercising various bus/signal channels with
their respective driver/receiver and associated power/ground domains.
Amkor uses highly accurate, industry-standard 2D, 3D, quasi-static
and full-wave field solvers.
