Koh Young Technology Brings Proven 3D Metrology Expertise to the Advanced Packaging Stage at ECTC 2026
04/21/2026 | Koh Young AmericaKoh Young, the industry leader in True3D™ measurement-based inspection solutions, is bringing its battle-tested platform to where that challenge is being solved at the 2026 IEEE Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC), May 26–29, at the JW Marriott & The Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida. The advanced packaging industry is demanding a level of inspection precision that traditional metrology simply cannot deliver, and Koh Young is ready to meet that moment.
Webinar Review, Part 2: Building the AI Backbone at IBM on Systems-level Packaging
04/20/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007The second presentation in a recent Global Electronics Association’s Executive Pulse webinar series widened the lens on advanced packaging, moving beyond the component level to a systems-level view of how AI is reshaping the electronics landscape. Building on Dr. Hemanth Dhavaleswarupu of AMD’s previous discussion of chip-level packaging innovation, Dr. Jung Yoon of IBM explored the broader infrastructure implications, from the data center floor to the global supply chain.
Below the Surface: Looking Ahead to Where Integration Actually Happens
04/20/2026 | Chandra Gupta -- Column: Below the SurfaceProgress in RF rarely arrives and suddenly rewrites the rules. What actually moves performance forward almost always happens in the seams, the interfaces, the choices that determine whether individual parts are allowed to work together, or forced to fight one another. So, when we look ahead in RF systems—from DC through millimeter-wave—the most important conversations aren’t about isolated materials or heroic devices. They’re about integration, and more specifically, about how ceramic-based RF packages and module architectures shape system-level behavior long before the signal ever reaches free space.
AI, Connectivity, and Systems-Level Thinking: New Frontiers in Advanced Packaging
04/16/2026 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamThe upcoming issue of Advanced Electronics Packaging Digest examines key developments shaping the next phase of electronics innovation, from the reliability challenges of AI-driven packaging to emerging connectivity standards and the broader systems-level implications of artificial intelligence.
Webinar Review, Part 1: A Packaging Revolution Powering the Next Era of AI Compute
03/15/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007The rapid rise of artificial intelligence has fundamentally reshaped the demands placed on semiconductor technology, and nowhere is it more evident than in advanced electronic packaging. A recent episode of the Global Electronics Association’s Executive Pulse webinar series, featuring Dr. Hemanth Dhavaleswarapu of AMD as the first of two esteemed presenters, provided a comprehensive overview of chip-level packaging. He outlined the evolution of AI workloads in forcing a rethinking of everything from chip architecture to data center design, with packaging now playing a central role in enabling continued performance scaling.
