Complementary short courses at Nordpac 2023

At NordPac 2023 we have the pleasure of offering two short courses. These will be free of charge for all participants that have registered for the full conference.

Both courses will be held on Monday the 12th of June at Oslo Science Park. A complimentary lunch will be served.

Fan-out, Fan-in, and Heterogeneous Integration Packaging

 

 John H Lau, with more than 40 years of R&D and manufacturing experience in semiconductor packaging and SMT assembly, has published more than 515 peer-reviewed papers (375 are the principal investigator), 40 issued and pending US patents (25 are the principal inventor), and 23 textbooks (all are the first author) on, e.g., Advanced MEMS Packaging (McGraw-Hill, 2010), Reliability of RoHS compliant 2D & 3D IC Interconnects (McGraw-Hill, 2011), Through-Silicon Via (TSV) for 3D Integration (McGraw-Hill, 2013), 3D IC Integration and Packaging (McGraw-Hill, 2016), and Assembly and Reliability of Lead-Free Solder Joints (Springer, 2020). John is an elected IEEE fellow, IMAPS Fellow, and ASME Fellow and has been actively participating in industry/academy/society meetings/conferences to contribute, learn, and share.

Fan-out wafer/panel-level packaging has been getting lots of tractions since TSMC used their integrated fan-out to package the application processor chipset for the iPhone 7. In this lecture, the following topics will be presented and discussed. Emphasis is placed on the fundamentals and latest developments of these areas in the past few years. Fan-in packaging has been used for many years. Their future trends will also be explored. In this lecture, a six-side molded fan-in wafer level package and its reliability will be presented. Heterogeneous integration (HI) uses packaging technology to integrate dissimilar chips, photonic devices, and/or components (either side-by-side, stacked, or both) with different sizes and functions, and from different fabless design houses, foundries, wafer sizes, and feature sizes into a system or subsystem on a common package substrate. For the next few years, we will see more implementations of a higher level of HI packaging, whether it is for time-to-market, performance, form factor, power consumption or cost. In this lecture, the introduction, recent advances, and trends in HI packaging will be presented.

Who Should Attend?

If you (students, engineers, and managers) are involved with any aspect of the electronics industry, you should attend this course. It is equally suited for R&D professionals and scientists. The lectures are based on the publications by many distinguish authors and the books (by the lecturer) such as Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging (Springer, 2018), Heterogeneous Integration (Springer, 2019), Semiconductor Advanced Packaging (Springer, 2021). and Chiplet Design and Heterogeneous Integration Packaging (Springer, 2023). Each attendee will receive more than 200 pages of lecture notes.
