Horiba Advanced Techno Joins Next-Gen Semiconductor Packaging Consortium "JOINT3"

In May 2026, Horiba Advanced Techno (President: Kentaro Nishikata) joined the co-creation evaluation platform "JOINT3," led by Resonac Corporation (President & CEO: Hidehito Takahashi). This addition brings the number of participating companies in JOINT3 to 28. By incorporating Horiba's advanced technical expertise, the consortium will further accelerate the R&D of panel-level organic interposers.

Horiba Advanced Techno has contributed to the advancement of manufacturing processes with its strength in water and liquid measurement technologies, which are indispensable in the semiconductor industry. As semiconductor performance continues to scale, innovation in next-generation semiconductor packaging technology and the addressing of complex technical challenges have become critical. Leveraging the core technologies of the HORIBA Group in analysis, measurement, and control, Horiba Advanced Techno will contribute to the R&D and problem-solving efforts within JOINT3.

Through JOINT3, Resonac remains committed to advancing technical R&D for next-generation semiconductor packaging, including panel-level organic interposers, to foster semiconductor evolution and industrial progress.

[About JOINT3] JOINT3 is a co-creation effort where global semiconductor material, equipment, and design tool manufacturers collaborate to develop technologies suitable for panel-level organic interposers using a dedicated prototype line. Resonac's upcoming activity center, "APLIC" (Advanced Panel Level Interposer Center), will enable verification in an environment closely resembling actual structures, thereby accelerating the technological development of participating companies.
