iNEMI Packaging Tech Topic Series Webinar: LSI/PKG/PCB Co-Design
November 21, 2023 | iNEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
iNEMI Packaging Tech Topic Series Webinar, LSI/PKG/PCB Co-Design to Support 3D-IC/Chiplet Design will be held on November 28, 2023, by guest speaker Kazunari Koga, Zuken Inc.
Chips and packages have different manufacturing methods and data sizes, so the design tools are also different. This webinar will introduce new software technology that can handle — in one tool —two types of design data. This technology connects design data for different technologies in a hierarchical structure and allows all data to be edited simultaneously. It also addresses the issues of designing a package that implements chiplets. This includes the challenges of large-scale design data (due to increasing nets between chips), device implementation of heterogeneous technologies with a mixture of substrate and silicon, and I/O design complexity.
About the Speaker
Kazunari Koga
Zuken Inc.
Mr. Koga has been working with development of an LSI/package/board (LPB) co-design environment since 2007. He joined the JEITA LPB working group in 2010, and participated in the development of LPB formats, which became an IEEE standard in 2015. He was also involved in the Semiconductor Technology Academic Research Center’s (STARC’s) development of a design methodology for 3D ICs, and the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization’s (NEDO’s) development project for a 3D integrated design and verification platform.

Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.

Elementary, Mr. Watson: Rein in Your Design Constraints
07/10/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonI remember the long hours spent at the light table, carefully laying down black tape to shape each trace, cutting and aligning pads with surgical precision on sheets of Mylar. I often went home with nicks on my fingers from the X-Acto knives and bits of tape all over me. It was as much an art form as it was an engineering task—tactile and methodical, requiring the patience of a sculptor. A lot has changed in PCB design over the years.
