Rapid Prototyping Services are designed to support the need for faster validation of IC and package designs and speed the transition to full production. Specifically developed to address prototype speed, offering a path to rapidly validate ASIC designs by providing access to advanced interconnect capabilities. Within the medical, communications, defense and measurement markets, three services levels were identified for rapid prototyping-BGA build-to-print, advanced build-to-print and process evaluation build. Entry-level prototyping is offered via BGA build-to-print, assembling JEDEC-standard BGAs in as little as three business days.
