Copper Pillar(Cu Pillar) ,Copper Post(Cu Post) ,Copper Column(Cu Column)

At FINECS, we produce and sell Cu pillars with a diameter ranging from 60μm to several 100μm, perfectly suitable for mounting on next-generation 2.5D or 3D packages with small pitches.
Our high-precision processing technology makes use of in-house made equipment and dies, enabling processing with stable dimensional accuracy, and can handle monthly production rates from hundreds of millions up to tens of billions.

Our Cu pillars / posts / pins are used in various ways and applications: a) in semiconductor packages with a PoP structure (package on package), as used in high-speed communication devices like smartphones or other mobile 5G devices, b) as an interconnect or interposer for a board with built-in components, c) in combination with solder balls or plating serving as a new technology to replace bumps.

As the density of semiconductor chips increases, the number of terminals is also increasing. To respond to this trend, and to deal with smaller pitches, minuscule copper terminals can be affixed like pillars to substitute for conventional solder bumps used to connect the semiconductor chip and package interposer.

There are two methods, using plating to create copper pillars, posts, or pins and mechanically arranging micro-terminals. At our company, we use our long years of experience manufacturing the micro-terminals to offer high-precision micro-terminals for use as Copper Pillars(Cu Pillars),Copper Column(Cu Column),Copper Chip(Cu Chip).
