[Seminar Purpose]

The evolution of semiconductor packaging technology in recent years, such as chiplets, heterogeneous integration, and photonics-electronics convergence, is remarkable. Until now, device performance improvement has been achieved through the miniaturization of front-end processes, but due to the limits of miniaturization, front-end processes have also become structurally complex, such as through 3D integration, and even then, it is insufficient, so packaging technology is accelerating its evolution.

To understand advanced packaging technology, this seminar will explain the evolution and elemental technologies of packaging technology from basic methods and manufacturing methods, making it easy to understand even for beginners.
