Current IssueOpportunities and Challenges
In this issue, our expert contributors discuss the many opportunities and challenges in the PCB design community, and what can be done to grow the numbers of PCB designers—and design instructors.
Embedded Design Techniques
Our expert contributors provide the knowledge this month that designers need to be aware of to make intelligent, educated decisions about embedded design. Many design and manufacturing hurdles can trip up designers who are new to this technology.
Manufacturing Know-how
For this issue, we asked our expert contributors to share their thoughts on the absolute “must-know” aspects of fab, assembly and test that all designers should understand. In the end, we’re all in this together.

Advanced Packaging Technologies and Future Trends
January 3, 2007 | IPCEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

As the first interconnection element after the semiconductor chip itself, IC packaging technologies are the primary gate keepers of electronic system performance. There are a myriad of different types of packages available, each normally targeted for a specific range of semiconductor devices. With so many options, understanding the basics of IC packaging - how they are constructed, what drives cost and what limits performance - is critical to the successful product design.
Some of the most common IC packages, from chip scale to BGA packages as well as some of the many 3D stacked and folded structures, will be reviewed and discussed. The instructor will also review wafer level packaging. Finally, a look at the future of IC packaging will be provided to stimulate thought on how to actively engage and direct the future of IC packaging.
What You Will Learn
The important roles of IC packaging
Construction and manufacturing processes for common IC packages
Impact of IC package design on the assembly processes
Testing strategies for IC packages
Trends in the integration of IC, package and PCB substrate
What's new and where IC packaging technology is headed
Overview of IC packaging technologies and its role in electronics assembly
Chip scale packaging types
Reliability testing and electrical performance of CSPs
Impact of lead free check points
Standards for substrates
The future of IC packaging
Who will Benefit
Design and electronic packaging engineers, project managers, purchasing managers, and others who influence future electronic packaging decisions in their companies should plan to attend. In addition, electronics industry suppliers of materials and processes who attend will better understand how to position their products as CSPs further press the limits of manufacturing technology.
Discussion Leader
The discussion leader will be Joseph Fjelstad, co-founder of SiliconPipe. Joe is a recognized authority in the field of electronic interconnections with more than 30 years of experience. He has written or authored several books on the subject of interconnections and writes monthly interconnection technology related columns for industry magazines. Fjelstad is also a prodigious inventor, having more than 150 U.S. patents either issued or pending. He is a recipient of the IPC Presidents Award and results of an industry poll indicate he is one the most influential persons in the electronics industry.
