ASE May Revenues Down 12% YoY
June 9, 2016 | DigitimesEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering (ASE) has reported consolidated revenues of NT$20.6 billion (U$638.8 million) for May 2016, up by 1.9% sequentially but down by 11.8% on year, according to Digitimes.
The company’s core IC ATM (assembly test and material) business posted revenues of NT$13.07 billion in May 2016, up by 7.4% on month and 4.6% from a year ago. Rising revenues generated from the IC ATM unit helped offset decelerating growth in the company's EMS business.
The company previously said that a slowdown in demand for system-in-package (SiP) would affect the performance of its EMS operations in the second quarter of 2016, but sales generated from its IC ATM business would return to the levels reached in the fourth quarter of 2015, the Digitimes report added.

The Chemical Connection: Through-glass Vias in Glass Substrates
06/24/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionThis month’s theme is vias and how best to ensure via quality and reliability. I don’t have much expertise in this process area or much to contribute that most of you don’t already know. However, I’ve recently become peripherally involved in a via technology that may be of more than academic interest to some of us. It entails putting vias in a material not usually associated with PCB manufacturing: through-glass vias (TGVs) in glass substrates.
OKI, NTT Innovative Devices Establish Mass Production Technology for High-Power Terahertz Devices by Heterogeneous Material Bonding
06/21/2025 | BUSINESS WIREOKI, in collaboration with NTT Innovative Devices Corporation, has established mass production technology for high-power terahertz devices using crystal film bonding (CFB) technology for heterogeneous material bonding to bond indium phosphide (InP)-based uni-traveling carrier photodiodes (UTC-PD) onto silicon carbide (SiC) with excellent heat dissipation characteristics for improved bonding yields.
The Evolution of Picosecond Laser Drilling
06/19/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineIs it hard to imagine a single laser pulse reduced not only from nanoseconds to picoseconds in its pulse duration, but even to femtoseconds? Well, buckle up because it seems we are there. In this interview, Dr. Stefan Rung, technical director of laser machines at Schmoll Maschinen GmbH, traces the technology trajectory of the laser drill from the CO2 laser to cutting-edge picosecond and hybrid laser drilling systems, highlighting the benefits and limitations of each method, and demonstrating how laser innovations are shaping the future of PCB fabrication.
