A ceramic pin grid array (PGA) can handle 300 to 600 pins and a larger die with more power, but it costs $20 to $60. In addition to the cost of the package itself is the cost of the labor to place a die in the package and then bond the pads to the pins, which adds
from a few cents to a dollar or two to the cost. Some good dies are typically lost in the assembly
process, thereby further reducing yield.
