E. Jan Vardaman and Aurora Circuits: North American Packaging Webinar
Building the North American Advanced Packaging Ecosystem
Presentation Abstract
The next generation of advanced packaging will require new developments in design, assembly, and test. Advanced substrate technology to support these advanced packages is required. There is no single package option that meets all needs, but all options have a common requirement of a laminate substrate to complete the package. Unfortunately, laminate build-up substrate capability and capacity is lacking in North America. This presentation addresses the needs for advanced substrates, the current supply situation, and the economic challenges in building the North American infrastructure.
