The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):
Flip Chip Pin Grid Array
FC-PGA
(FC-PGA) The package of certain Intel
Celeron and Pentium III processors. FC-PGA processors fit
into Socket 370 motherboard sockets.
The Flip Chip Pin Grid Array is similar to PPGA, except
that the silicon core is facing up and the heat slug is
exposed.
FC-PGA packaging is used by Pentium III processors, and
Celeron 566 processors onward. Earlier Celeron processors
used PPGA packaging.
Celeron processors are also available in Slot 1 SEPP
packaging and Pentium III processors in Slot 1 SECC2
packaging.
Adapters are available to allow a PPGA Celeron to plug into
a Slot 1 connector.
