 Term 1 January 2024 through 31 December 2026

 NOMINATION DEADLINE:  30 June 2023

Nomination Form

The EPS Board of Governors (BoG) includes 19 Members-at-Large, elected by the full voting membership of the Society. Six Members at Large will be selected each year to represent the regional composition of the Society membership.

Regional Members-at-Large are elected to achieve totals proportionate to the geographic distribution of EPS members. Any IEEE Region/grouping of Regions determined to have at least 10% of total EPS members will have the proportional number of Member-at-Large positions designated to it for representation on the BoG.  The slate of candidates for each year’s election will be constructed to ensure that the resulting total of newly elected Members-at-Large and continuing Members-at-Large, respectively, has the proper proportion of representatives from each Region/grouping of Regions. Each Region/grouping of Regions will have a separate slate of candidates from that Region. Voting members will elect members-at-large from within their Region only (that is, members in Regions 1-7 & 9 vote for Members-at-Large from Regions 1-7 & 9, members in Region 10 vote for Members-at-Large from Region 10).

The Young Professional Member at Large will be elected by all members of the Society from a slate that is finalized by the Nominations Committee.

12th IEEE CPMT Symposium Japan November 15 – 17, 2023,

Venue: Ritsumeikan University Suzaku Campus, Kyoto, JAPAN (On-site only)

 "Advanced Packaging for Chiplet Era"

“IEEE CPMT Symposium Japan (ICSJ)” is one of the most widely recognized international conferences sponsored by the IEEE Electronics Packaging Society (EPS) and has been held annually in Kyoto in November. This conference was inaugurated in 1992 as “The VLSI Packaging Workshop in Japan (VPWJ)” to provide a platform for you to communicate and interact with global leaders in packaging technology. 

Advanced Packaging for Chiplet Era: Chiplet architecture, moving from monolithic to multi-tile devices, is becoming a key technology to expand computing resources with integrated functional units on a same package. Chiplet is not only driving the packaging technology including 2.xD/3D integration and high density substrate technology with process and material, but also revolutionizing applications requiring highly advanced computing such as 5G, AI, automotive, edge computing and mobile components. The symposium tries to forecast where the packaging technology is heading. In 2023, our focus is on key electronics packaging technologies pulling by Chiplet architecture on the following main topics: Photonics, Advanced Packaging, Process & Material, Power & Automotive Electronics, Bioelectronics & Healthcare, and Signal/Power Integrity.

The abstract deadline is 29 May, 2023.

Abstract—Chips are converted into reliable electronic devices through the process of electronic packaging throughout the process of electronics fabrication. 3D electronic packaging architectures with heterogeneous integration techniques have witnessed considerable demand as package density and functional diversity have increased. Despite the new architectural possibilities and enhanced performance offered by 3D integration, signal integrity and reliability problems still exist since packaging systems usually exhibit geometric discontinuities due to through silicon vias (TSVs), free edges, and multiple interfaces. Hence, manufacturing of high quality and reliable TSVs was and will remain a major enabler for the adoption of new 3D packaging technologies. TSV faults must be screened promptly during the manufacturing process because they could cause critical challenges during the initial phases of fabrication. Consequently, the mechanical stress and chip-package interaction are addressed as being major threats for 3D TSV IC failures. The emergence of various defects in 3D TSV ICs from fabrication to packaging is outlined and discussed in this article. Also, several defect mechanisms and fault structures causing unstable package performance and impaired device reliability are explained..

I. Introduction

To cater with the growing demand for the miniaturization of electronic devices, the trend in the semiconductor industry is progressively transitioning from two (2D) to three dimensional (3D) packaging constructions for integrated circuits. The research and prototyping of revolutionary 3D electronic packaging are receiving a lot of attention in order to facilitate higher packaging density, functional diversity and provide new opportunities for present and future applications. Compared to earlier packaging methods, the features of through silicon via (TSV) based 3D packaging technology include a small aperture, fine pitch, and a significant aspect ratio [1].

 Abstract— The aggressive demand for integration results in multiple dies from the same or completely different fabrication technologies and perhaps different chiplet providers being combined within a single package. Each die may contains functional blocks that together form a complete platform when they are combined. Intrinsic use-case operational temperatures of each functional block are different for a variety of reasons. Package architecture, design and layout, along with material types play an important role to minimize thermal congestion.

I. INTRODUCTION

In recent years there has been a sharp rise in multi-die package designs because die disaggregation results in higher levels of integration. Numerous publications targeting a large variety of applications exist in the public domain [1, 3]. Multidie packages include Artificial Intelligence (AI), central processing unit (CPU), field-programmable gate array (FPGA), memory, analog, radio frequency (RF), input/output (I/O), serializer/deserializer (SERDES), silicon photonics, sensors, etc. OSAT houses are in a unique position in the industry since they experience a wide sampling of customer products. Higher volumes and a higher mix of products result in a unique perspective of key learnings and avoiding missed steps for product packages with multiple die. Furthermore, 2D, 2.5D and 3D package layouts have unique thermal considerations.
