OVERVIEW:

    Several trends are impacting change in semiconductor packaging, and that has 1) resulted in transitions in the materials consumed in packaging, and 2) impacted the dynamics of the materials supply chain. Mobile electronics has driven the development of smaller and thinner packaging. Packaging subcontractors have emerged as key partners developing new packages, while consolidation is occurring as the semiconductor industry has matured and entered an overall lower growth phase. In context of the aforementioned, this presentation will highlight some of the trends, issues, and opportunities in specific segments of the packaging materials markets.
