Description
This intensive three-day program provides a deep dive into both Traditional Packaging Technologies—including DIP, QFP, BGA, Wire Bonding, and Flip-Chip—and cutting-edge Advanced Packaging Technologies such as System-in-Package (SiP), Wafer-Level Packaging (WLP), Fan-Out WLP, 2.5D/3D stacking, and Through-Silicon Via (TSV). Participants will gain hands-on insights into materials, processes, design considerations, and reliability challenges that underpin modern IC package development. Emphasis is placed on real-world applications in consumer, mobile, and high-performance devices, along with cost-performance trade-offs and manufacturing best practices.
