Abstract:
The future of electronic packaging is bright as Moore’s Law wanes and many new applications depend on advanced packaging solutions rather than the next transistor node for improved performance. Current mechanical, thermal, material, and electrical issues will multiply as solutions are required for System-in-Package integration, high reliability, low power, low loss, good thermal and electrical performance, and optimized cost and footprint. Advances in Fan-Out Wafer and Panel Level Packaging are adding value to the mobile, automotive, and IoT industries, but new package architectures and designs are needed to address 6G mmWAVE, Autonomous Driving, Artificial Intelligence, and Virtual/Augmented Reality. The 5G packaging challenges of low latency, cost, thermals, and optimized form factor and power along with good coverage will only be exacerbated at 6G. There are many packaging challenges ahead and significant advancements will be required in interdisciplinary research over the next 20 years.
