In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.
Fueling the Workforce Pipeline
We take a hard look at fueling the workforce pipeline, specifically at the early introduction of manufacturing concepts and business to young people in this issue of PCB007 Magazine.
Inner Layer Precision & Yields
In this issue, we examine the critical nature of building precisions into your inner layers and assessing their pass/fail status as early as possible. Whether it’s using automation to cut down on handling issues, identifying defects earlier, or replacing an old line...

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.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
03/07/2025 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007It’s been a busy week. My must-reads include articles and news items on global trends and challenges, groundbreaking technology, the hunt for the elusive young PCB designers, and some personnel changes. We also have a great column on the value of following up and keeping promises. We’re all guilty of “dropping the ball” from time to time, aren’t we?
IMAPS’ Annual Conference Opener in Phoenix ‘Blew My Mind’
03/05/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007It was a cool and sunny morning as I headed out to the IMAPS Device Packaging Conference 2025 in Arizona early Tuesday, which featured two compelling keynote speakers, and a day chocked full of technical sessions. IMAPS 2025 also hosted a sold-out exhibit hall with 65 exhibitors from IBM and Heraeus to Cadence and KYZEN, to name just a few. The technology and packaging discussions at this conference blew my mind last year, and it is clear this year would be no different.
