IMI and Swedish Institute Discuss Sustainability
October 28, 2015 | Integrated Micro-Electronics Inc.Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Integrated Micro-Electronics Inc. (IMI), one of the world's leading providers of electronics manufacturing services (EMS) and power semiconductor assembly and test services, discussed sustainability with Nordic visitors, including the Swedish Institute's Deputy Head of the Unit Development Program Anna Sternbeck, Enact Sustainable Strategies' Managing Director Mattias Iweborg, and representatives from the Nordic Business Council of the Philippines, who visited IMI's plant in Laguna to know about the company's sustainability programs and to better understand development issues of various sectors of the country.
Mary Ann Natividad, IMI's Global Head for Business Strategies and Development, and members of the IMI Sustainability Team welcomed and answered questions from the visitors. Frederick Blancas, IMI's Sustainability Manager, made a brief presentation about IMI and its sustainability program.
Blancas said IMI's intention is to embed sustainability in its business strategy. "IMI's goal is to have more shared value businesses in its portfolio as it marries profit with purpose," he noted.
Shared value businesses are enterprises that are innovative, at scale, profitable, and responsive to social and environmental issues.
Visitors were showed IMI's lines, which are compliant to RoHS (Restriction on Hazardous Substances).
"We were all very impressed both by your warm hospitality and by the way you integrate sustainability dimensions into your daily work and business vision. It was indeed very inspiring for us and we learned a lot," said Sternbeck.

Beyond Design: Integrated Circuit to PCB Integration
09/11/2024 | Barry Olney -- Column: Beyond DesignTechnologies such as artificial intelligence, autonomous cars, smartphones, and wearable devices are significantly transforming the semiconductor industry. The miniaturization trend drives the IC footprint to an even smaller profile, requiring tighter margins. From the PCB designer’s perspective, smaller form factors are achievable, making devices more compact and lightweight. But double-sided SMT placement, reduced routing channels, and high-speed constraints create multiple challenges for designers. However, there are some advantages to miniaturization: shorter interconnects between the IC and the PCB reduce signal loss and electromagnetic interference. High-speed digital signals in the GHz range benefit from reduced parasitics.
