iNEMI Roadmap Highlights Series
Portable & Wireless - Wednesday, May 6, 2020
Smart Manufacturing - Wednesday, May 13, 2020
Webinars are open to anyone; advance registration is required.
Portable & Wireless
Highlights of iNEMI’s Portable & Wireless chapter will include critical factors that enable portable and wireless devices to continue leading electronics manufacturing in production volumes and technical breakthroughs. A variety of key products and services offered in the portable and wireless space demand innovations in advanced packaging, design and miniaturization. Transitioning from 4G LTE to 5G mmWave-based communications protocols introduces unique challenges that are expected to drive disruptive changes in packaging, testing strategies and integration trends in smartphone and other portable chipsets. Major trends such as cost and form factor, co-design and tool needs, shifts in the supply chain structure, and the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the mobile space will be presented.

Smart Manufacturing
This high-level overview of iNEMI’s Smart Manufacturing chapter includes such topics as the industry’s current state of technologies as well as the gaps and challenges facing the implementation of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing practices. Smart manufacturing enabling technologies (e.g., big data analytics, artificial intelligence, cloud/edge computing, robotics, automation, IoT) will improve efficiency, safety and productivity in manufacturing. This webinar will summarize industry status across semiconductor, outsourced system assembly and test, and printed circuit board assembly sectors. It will also look at the key enabling technology needs in security, data flow architecture, and digital building blocks (e.g., artificial intelligence, machine learning and digital twin).

Critical Minerals: The New Power Play in Global Trade
10/13/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Access to critical minerals essential for electronics manufacturing, and China’s monopoly of them, is increasingly under scrutiny, with gallium (Ga) and germanium (Ge)at the forefront of this discourse. However, all critical minerals imported from China share a similar narrative, and understanding the implications of this dependency and the risks to both U.S. commercial and defense sectors has created an urgent need for a comprehensive electronics strategy to secure and diversify access to these vital minerals. In this candid interview, USPAE Executive Director Jim Will discusses the issues and the mitigation steps that must be taken to adequately address them.
Interposers, Substrates, and Advanced Manufacturing
10/13/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007I attend a lot of industry trade shows and conferences. Lately, during conversations with technologists, I’ve noticed that there is some confusion about what exactly constitutes an interposer. One question I hear every so often is, “Are all interposers substrates?” The short answer to that question is no. But some interposers are, in fact, full substrates.
