Current IssueAdvanced Packaging and Stackup Design
This month, our expert contributors discuss the impact of advanced packaging on stackup design—from SI and DFM challenges through the variety of material tradeoffs that designers must contend with in HDI and UHDI.
Rules of Thumb
This month, we delve into rules of thumb—which ones work, which ones should be avoided. Rules of thumb are everywhere, but there may be hundreds of rules of thumb for PCB design. How do we separate the wheat from the chaff, so to speak?
Partial HDI
Our expert contributors provide a complete, detailed view of partial HDI this month. Most experienced PCB designers can start using this approach right away, but you need to know these tips, tricks and techniques first.

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.

The Knowledge Base: The Era of Advanced Packaging
12/23/2024 | Mike Konrad -- Column: The Knowledge BaseThe semiconductor industry is at a pivotal juncture. As the traditional scaling predicted by Moore's Law encounters significant physical and economic barriers, transistor density can no longer double every two years without escalating costs and complications. As a result, the industry is shifting its focus from chip-level advancements to innovative packaging and substrate technologies. I Invited Dr. Nava Shpaisman, strategic collaboration manager at KLA, to provide some insight.

The Shaughnessy Report: A Stack of Advanced Packaging Info
12/10/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy -- Column: The Shaughnessy ReportIt’s only fitting that this issue on advanced packaging and stackup features a “stackup” of “packages” on the cover. There’s certainly a lot to “unpack” in this issue. As advanced packaging moves further into the mainstream of PCB design, more PCB designers and design engineers are realizing this isn’t a plug-and-play technology. As we see in this issue, advanced packaging can have an impact on the entire design—the stackup in particular.
