The High Density Packaging User Group International Inc. (HDP) and IPC have partnered successfully for many years. The groups signed an MoU in 2020 to strengthen this relationship, increase technical collaboration between the groups, and provide a mutual path toward emerging and disruptive high-density interconnect (HDI) technologies.
What is HDP?
HDP, founded in 1993, is a nonprofit trade organization that offers memberships to companies involved in the electronics manufacturing industry. HDP's mission is to drive innovations in the electronics industry, reducing cost and time to market through active collaborations that solve critical and emerging problems. HDP is focused on the characterization and reliability of electronic assemblies and sub-assemblies, focusing on new technologies.

Reliability Comparisons of FPBGA Assemblies Under Hot/Cold Biased Thermal Cycle
08/06/2024 | Thomas Sanders, Seth Gordon, Reza Ghaffarian, Jet Propulsion LaboratoryCurrent trends in microelectronic packaging technologies continue in the direction of smaller, lighter, and higher density packages. The telecommunications industry and particularly mobile/portable devices have a strong need for lighter and smaller products. The current emerging advanced packaging (AP) technologies, including system-in-package (SiP) and 2.5D/3D stacked packaging, added another level of complexity and challenges for implementation.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
03/15/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, Design007 MagazineIt was a busy week in PCB design and manufacturing. This has been a pretty “dense” week, and this week’s Top Five features an article on density equations by Happy Holden, and a news item about the SMTA UHDI symposium in Phoenix. We also have news about our latest podcast, and a Chris Mitchell column about economic security here and abroad. And Todd Kolmodin discusses the ins and out of 4-wire Kelvin testing, and he tells us a little about Lord Kelvin himself.
Happy’s Tech Talk #26: Balancing the Density Equation
03/14/2024 | Happy Holden -- Column: Happy’s Tech TalkPrinted circuit design and layout is a creative process that has profound implications for electronic products. With the need for more parts on an assembly, or the trend to make things smaller to be portable or for faster speeds, the design process is a challenging one. The process is one of “balancing the density equation” (Figure 1) with considerations for certain boundary conditions like electrical and thermal performance. Unfortunately, many designers do not realize that there is a mathematical process to the layout of a printed circuit
