Surita- A typical organic BGA package can have anywhere from 2 to maybe 16 layers depending on how big the die and the package are, whether it is flip-chip or wire bond and numerous other factors. A ceramic package may have a layer count up to 30 layers plus or minus...

Hello Again Jory; Thank you for bearing with me. I am not designing anything, just trying to get some basic concepts straight about package design or simulation. In my last question I was trying to get my hands around the number of layers in a package substrate. Perhaps a related question would the ratio of Power/Ground layers to signal layers. Thanks. Surita. ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List technical documents are available at: http://www.si-list.net List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu This email and any attachments are intended for the sole use of the named recipient(s) and contain(s) confidential information that may be proprietary, privileged or copyrighted under applicable law.
