Thin, small-outline packages TSOP

The assembled stacks are then attached to a leadframe or substrate again with conductive epoxy or wire bonds, and encapsulated with epoxy. Alternately, they may be packaged in thin, small-outline packages (TSOP) or EGA packages. If multiple die are used on each layer, as many as 64 die may be incorporated in one stacked module." ... 

Aramid. A better solution for CTE match is to use a non-woven aramid mat material that is resin-impregnated it is available with either modified epoxy or polyimide resins. Non-woven aramid has lower in-plane expansion under heat input, and is closer to the in-plane expansion of leadless ceramic chip carriers (LCCCs) or thin small outline packages (TSOPs). A low in-plane expansion reduces the strain on the solder joint, which in turn improves assembly yields and long-term field reliability.

The bottom leadless package (BLP) is a peripheral package for replacing the thin small outline package (TSOP) for dynamic random access memory (DRAM) applications. This package uses a custom-designed lead-frame with wire bond interconnection at the chip level. A package with 46 I/O, 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) pitch, was subjected to numerous thermal cycles to determine the cycles-to-failure and the failure mechanisms (Ref 10).

The PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) Operations Division of MSM in Singapore deals with the assembly of RAM chips using TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package), DRAMs, PCBs (Printed Circuit Board) and other discrete components. A typical module consists of a number of memory components that are attached to a printed circuit board. The gold or tin pins on e bottom of the module provide a connection between the module and a socket on another larger PCB. There are also some eapaeitors and resistors soldered onto the PCB.
