3D stack packaging solution for BAW devices: 3D packaging demonstrator and RF performance

Abstract

This paper presents a 3D integration concept as a solution to package FBAR or BAW devices providing at the same time additional RF functionality. The feasibility of this 3D packaging solution has been proven by the successful realization of a 3D packaging demonstration vehicle including FBAR device, solder ring, bumps, through substrate via, low loss interconnects and extra integrated RF functionality. A good RF performance has been obtained. This concept could also be used for the packaging of MEMS, since the requirements are similar.
