OVERVIEW:

This presentation reviews the future trends for packaging and board assembly technology and their impact on the supply chain. Packaging and board assembly technologies are discussed that enable continued miniaturization, functional densification and integration, as well as environmental friendliness, for both small form factor and large form factor electronics products. The development and implementation of these technologies will have specific and direct impact on the supply chain, including packaging, board assembly materials, processes and equipment. Fast time-to-market requirements, in combination with low cost and high reliability needs for different product categories, demand ever increasing cooperation throughout the supply chain, with early visibility.
