The IMAPS 2021 program is set to be knowledge-packed, offering materials both in person and on demand, including  keynote presentations from top experts, professional development courses, numerous technical sessions and over a dozen posters. Our 3D InCites community members are playing a large role in dispersing this knowledge through their participation as technical track presenters and chairs, panel moderators, in keynotes, special sessions and more! If you haven’t been to an in-person event in a while, now is a good time!

Here are some of the key activities our members are involved in:

Professional Development Courses  

8:00 am – 10:00 am 

Course A1: System-in-Package (SiP) – System Solutions Through Miniaturization –Instructor: Mark Gerber, ASE US, Inc. 

This PDC course will introduce the package platform SiP (System-in-Package) and how some companies are diversifying from SOC (System-on-a-Chip) to leverage heterogeneous silicon integration and package miniaturization to enable system level solutions.  

1:00 pm -3:00 pm 

Course C1: The Evolution of Flip Chip Package Technology – Instructor: Mark Gerber, ASE US, Inc. 

This PDC course will provide a historical overview and background on the evolution of flip chip packaging as well as short market perspective on this platform. Mobile, Infrastructure, Automotive, High Reliability, Medical and High-Performance Network and Computing all rely on Flip Chip technology to enable their silicon solutions.

KEYNOTE 2: 10:15 am – 11:00 am 

More Moore or More than Moore. An EDA perspective 

Over the past 30+ years there‘s been a significant shift in the way commercial electronics have been designed. There are many inflection points that have influenced how consumer electronics and systems products are developed across many vertical markets including transportation, 5G, wireless communications, industrial, medical, and more. This talk will discuss the impact several drivers including Moore‘s Law, as well as advances in the design of semiconductors, systems, and advance packaging.

EVENING KEYNOTE & PANEL

6:45-8:30pm  

PANEL: NEXT GENERATION PACKAGES: ARE WE READY? 

Moderator: Jan Vardaman, President and Founder of TechSearch International, Inc. 


New package options are required to meet the needs of advanced silicon nodes and cost reduction. Adoption of Co-packaged optics is anticipated. The industry requires a health infrastructure to meet future packaging needs including heterogeneous integration and chiplets. Are we ready? What infrastructure issues need to be addressed? This panel discusses challenges in meeting the needs of next generation packaging and provides insight into potential solutions.

KEYNOTE 6: 9:00 am – 9:45 am (Virtual Presentation)
A NEW ERA FOR GLASS IN MICROELECTRONICS PACKAGING 

For glass, it would be inappropriate to speak of a new material in microelectronics. It is considered one of the oldest man-made materials and is also regularly used in electronic packaging already.  However, if we look at the fundamental material properties of glass, the only question that really arises is: why isn’t it used in a greater number of applications? The answer to the question lies in the widespread believe that glass is difficult or uneconomical to process on a microscale.

This presentation will describe how recent developments in the field of laser-induced deep etching are helping to enable novelle packages and bring glass to a new era in micro-electronics. 

Roman Ostholt, LPKF Laser & Electronics AG, Managing Director
