IPC-T-50 definition:

Flip Chip
"A leadless monolithic, circuit element structure that electrically and mechanically interconnects to a base material through the use of conductive bumps".

Doesn't make much sense to me.  Sounds like a BGA (Ball Grid Array).

Thanks

Everyone -

What is a "flip chip"? I work in the PCB fabrication industry and see
this term a lot in magazine articles. I've never heard the basic
definition. Please help me increase my knowledge base.

Thanks
