Current IssueSignal Integrity
If you don’t have signal integrity problems now, you will eventually. This month, our expert contributors share a variety of SI techniques that can help designers avoid ground bounce, crosstalk, parasitic issues, and much more.
Proper Floor Planning
Floor planning decisions can make or break performance, manufacturability, and timelines. This month’s contributors weigh in with their best practices for proper floor planning and specific strategies to get it right.
Showing Some Constraint
A strong design constraint strategy carefully balances a wide range of electrical and manufacturing trade-offs. This month, we explore the key requirements, common challenges, and best practices behind building an effective constraint strategy.

SMTA Announces Wafer-Level Packaging Symposium Program
January 8, 2025 | SMTAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The SMTA is excited to announce the technical program for the 2025 Wafer-Level Packaging Symposium. The symposium will be held February 18-20, 2025 at The Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport in San Francisco, California.
The technical program features a special keynote presentation. On Wednesday, February 19, 2025, Eric Breckenfeld, Nvidia, and Erik Hadland, Semiconductor Industry Association, will co-present, “The CHIPS and Science Act: Past, Present and Future of U.S. Microelectronics R&D.”
Technical sessions include over 20 expert speakers who delve into wafer-level packaging advances, assembly/integration process, novel interconnect & packaging process and materials, substrate/integration platform, test & metrology, fan-out wafer-level packaging, and more. The program features presentations from leading companies including adeia, Nvidia, NHanced Semiconductors, Semiconductor Industry Association, and universities such as Hanyang University, Yokohama National University, and more.
The symposium kicks off with two professional development courses on Tuesday, February 18, 2025. The first course, “Materials for Semiconductor Packaging,” will be instructed by Terry Alford, Arizona State University. Gamal Refai Ahmed, Ph.D., AMD, will instruct the second course, “Current & Future Challenges and Solutions in AI & HPC System & Thermal Management.” Access to these courses is included in standard registration.
Registration for this event is open. Click here to register. Discounted rates are available by registering on or before January 27, 2025. All presentations, professional development courses and events open to attendees are included in registration.
