Bill Lytle received a B.S. degree in chemistry from the University of Cincinnati, and M.S. degree from Arizona State University in inorganic and solid state chemistries. He joined Motorola in 1982 working in the area of semiconductor packaging initially working in flip chip bumping development.  Bill developed expertise in electrolytic copper and lead free plating processes as well as seed metal etchants for flip chip bump applications.  Later he developed an electroless nickel under bump metallization process for low cost flip chip bumping applications which included work on green solder pastes as well. More recently he initiated development of Freescale’s revolutionary Redistributed Chip Package (RCP), an embedded die platform for both single and multi chip modules and developed several of its key processes. Currently Bill is the founder of Faraday Solutions, LLC assisting small companies develop plating and packaging processes for solar, medical device and other applications. Bill holds 25 issued US patents. He also co-authored a book chapter on lead-free alloy plating in Semiconductor Packaging (2005), a CRC Press publication and over 20 professional journal publications.
