BCC (bump chip carrier) uses plating metal pads (so-called "terminals", as small as 0.4X0.3mm) to connect with the PCB. The terminals, which are etched from copper-based lead frame during packaging process, can be placed on the periphery of package with in-line or staggered layout. BCC+ & BCC++ both have exposed die pads, which can be soldered to PCB. This direct heat path can enhance the thermal performance. BCC++ additionally intensifies the electrical performance by allocating a ground ring, which is extended from the die pad, to allow wire bonding. This common ground can reduce the ground inductance and curb the inductive noise. The BCC packages are competent to the applications over 12GHz
