FLIP CHIP
A semiconductor chip or package connection process where solder balls or bumps are deposited
to form connecting metals on chip's surface or bonding pads, then flipped over for soldering or bonding
to corresponding header terminals on PCB or other substrate. Also known as flip-chip joining or flip flop bonding.
The result is a lower profile with shorter electrical path and lower resistance.
