About IWLPC
IWLPC brings together the semiconductor industry’s most respected authorities to address all aspects of wafer-level, 3D, TSV, and MEMS device packaging technologies.
Addressing wafer-level packaging, 3D, and MEMS technologies, the International Wafer-Level Packaging Conference (IWLPC) has been at the forefront of the packaging technology evolution. The conference has a rich history of bringing together attendees from over 16 countries in the heart of Silicon Valley to immerse themselves in the latest technology and business trends. Going into its 13th year, the IWLPC is co-produced by Chip Scale Review, the leading international magazine addressing the semiconductor packaging industry, and SMTA, the distinguished global association representing electronic assembly and manufacturing professionals.
The conference comprises three parallel technical tracks with two full days of presentations on wafer-level packaging, 3D integration, and MEMS development. Workshops, keynote speakers, and panel discussions are offered by world-class experts and enable attendees to broaden their technical knowledge. The technical program includes a two-day expo where 60+ exhibitors showcase their latest technologies and products. The conference provides a collective network of over 800 industry professionals, including vendors from leading semiconductor companies, foundries, and OSATs, as well as key technology, equipment, and materials suppliers in the exhibit area. Attendees will be inspired by the quantity and quality of the featured new developments and emerging technologies.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
11/22/2024 | Andy Shaughnessy, I-Connect007In this week’s roundup, I’m highlighting a variety of articles. We have an interview with Jess Hollenbaugh, a recent graduate working for Polar Instruments. We also have an interview with IPC’s Matt Kelly and Devan Iyer, whose white paper may provide a way forward for companies dealing with complex advanced packages. Our newest columnist Tom Yang describes the U.S. PCB industry from the point of view of a technologist from another country, and Dan Beaulieu has a review of Malcolm Gladwell’s follow-up to The Tipping Point. Finally, we have my review of PCB Carolina, a one-day tabletop show that keeps expanding, much like my waistline after eating their catered food. Enjoy!
