Current IssueThe Hole Truth: Via Integrity in an HDI World
From the drilled hole to registration across multiple sequential lamination cycles, to the quality of your copper plating, via reliability in an HDI world is becoming an ever-greater challenge. This month we look at “The Hole Truth,” from creating the “perfect” via to how you can assure via quality and reliability, the first time, every time.
In Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.

IPC White Paper Calls for Comprehensive Roadmap to Address Advanced Packaging to Board-Level Integration Challenges
September 16, 2024 | IPCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The increasing complexity of integrated systems demands a holistic approach to design, materials, assembly, reliability, and metrology across all levels of integration, from chip to package to board. IPC’s Technology Solutions group addresses these challenges and suggests a comprehensive roadmap in their new white paper, “Advanced Packaging to Board Level Integration—Needs and Challenges.”
The white paper explores the packaging and integration needs for several key application areas:
- High Performance Computing (HPC)
- 5G/6G Wireless Communications
- Autonomous Driving and Electric Vehicles (EV)
- Medical Electronics
- Aerospace & Defense Electronics
The paper then analyzes the following aspects of advanced packaging to board-level integration:
- Design challenges and co-design approaches
- Power delivery requirements
- Thermal management challenges
- Materials innovation needs for package assembly and PCB integration
- Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) challenges
- Reliability considerations for heterogeneously integrated systems
- Metrology requirements for the characterization of advanced packaging to board level assembly
The white paper emphasizes the importance of a “silicon to systems” approach in developing next-generation chiplet-based advanced packages and their integration into complex systems. The paper also recommends the development of a 5-10 year outlook on trends, challenges, and gaps in advanced electronic packaging and PCB/subsystem integration across various application domains. This roadmap will enable the electronics industry supply chain to better prepare for and address the complex challenges in system-level packaging and integration.
“IPC is committed to identifying the gaps and challenges in design, materials, assembly, test, and reliability as applied to advanced packaging integration with printed circuit boards, assemblies, and subsystems,” said Devan Iyer, chief strategist advanced packaging and white paper co-author. “Along with our industry partners, IPC will continue to be the leading advocate of a ‘silicon-to-systems’ approach as the evolution of advanced packaging directly affects the future of all aspects of electronics manufacturing,” emphasized Matt Kelly, IPC chief technology officer and white paper co-author.
This white paper provides valuable insights for anyone involved in electronics manufacturing, helping them stay ahead of technological trends and address future integration challenges effectively. Download the White Paper.
