Semiconductor chips, including microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), have revolutionized sensors in recent times. The inclusion in sensors of these miniature semiconductor and mechanical devices enables detection, analysis, communication and physical motion...

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss advances in packaging with Michael Kelly, vice president of Chiplets and FCBGA Integration at Amkor; William Chen, fellow at ASE; Dick Otte, CEO of Promex Industries; and Sander Roosendaal, R&D director...

As electronic systems grow increasingly complex and energy-intensive, traditional power management methods — centered on centralized systems and external components — are proving inadequate. More data needs to be processed in less time with more and often smaller...

Each year, Semiconductor Digest turns to industry leaders and analysts to get their viewpoints on what they expect to see in the coming year in terms of critical tech and business trends. Promex COO Dave Fromm provided his insights on the growing demand for complex...

As chips evolve toward stacked, heterogeneous assemblies and adopt more complex materials, engineers are grappling with new and often less predictable sources of variation. This is redefining what it means to achieve precision, forcing companies to rethink...

Fan-Out Panel-Level Packaging (FOPLP) for advanced nodes, once hindered by manufacturability and yield challenges, is emerging as a promising solution to meet the industry’s demands for higher integration densities and cost efficiency. However, the technology still...

Advanced packaging has become a focal point for innovation as the semiconductor industry continues to push for increased transistor density and better performance. But the pace of change is accelerating, making it harder for the entire ecosystem to keep up with...

In this ‘Wine Down Friday’ interview for Power Electronics News, Promex CEO Dick Otte reflects on his over 60 years of expertise in industrial solutions, sharing insights into his career development, leadership style, business challenges, and how Promex is adapting...

Establishing a quality management system (QMS) that is both effective and efficient is a challenging but essential part of ensuring quality in your operations. Whether your organization is seeking compliance with standards like ISO 13485 or ISO 9001, or simply...

Decoupling capacitors have long been an important aspect of maintaining a clean power source for integrated circuits, but with noise caused by rising clock frequencies, multiple power domains, and various types of advanced packaging, new approaches are needed. In...

The semiconductor industry is undergoing a profound shift in packaging technologies to ones that rely on close collaboration among multiple stakeholders to solve intricate, multi-faceted, and extraordinarily complex problems. At the heart of this change is the...
