IC prototype packaging capabilities

Prototype ICs are typically packaged using standard off-the-shelf package types such as cavity QFN, ceramic quad flat pack, pin grid array, etc. Use of standard packages, assembly design rules and price lists accelerates the time to quote, order and fulfilment of the process.

ALTER’s Fast Turn IC prototype packaging services cater to a diverse range of targets, including wafer foundries, ASIC designers, fabless IC manufacturers, multi-project wafer aggregators, supply chain management, universities and start-ups.
