SEMI EuroPAT Workshop to Highlight the Future of Semiconductor Packaging Manufacturing in Europe
August 6, 2024 | SEMIEstimated reading time: 1 minute
The EuroPAT Workshop, an annual event of the SEMI Integrated Packaging Assembly & Testing European Chapter Technology Community (ESiPAT-TC), taking place from 9-10 September, 2024 in Berlin, will feature manufacturing and supply chain trends for semiconductor packaging, assembly, and test in Europe. Themed Semiconductor Packaging Manufacturing in Europe – Growing or Vanishing? , the third edition of the workshop will showcase collaboration among Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) providers and Semiconductor Packaging, Assembly, and Test Service Providers (SPAT-SPs) that is instrumental for the resilience of Europe’s microelectronics industry. Registration is open.
SEMIAs the complexity of semiconductor technologies increases, collaborative Chip-Package-Board-System co-design is becoming a focal point for Integrated Device Manufacturers (IDMs) and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Workshop attendees will deep dive into this complex framework and explore the future of electronics packaging, assembly, and test. Additionally, the workshop will disseminate results of the Pack4EU, a European funded project assessing the current status and evolving needs of packaging, assembly, and test in Europe.
"SEMI Europe looks forward to welcoming leading packaging, assembly and test experts to the EuroPAT Workshop in Berlin," said Laith Altimime, President of SEMI Europe. “The exceptional lineup of speakers will offer insights into vital trends for semiconductor packaging manufacturing.”
This year’s EuroPAT Workshop will be hosted by Swissbit Germany AG on day one and the Mercure Hotel MOA on day two. The workshop will present a broad scope of topics including:
- Packaging, assembly and test manufacturing in Europe
- The role of European OSATs and SPAT-SPs
- Semiconductor packaging supply chain
- EU Chips Act updates for packaging
- Coordination and Support Action (CSA) and Pack4EU Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU) updates
- European markets and applications strengths and weaknesses
- Technology transfer from pilot lines in RTO and industrial pilot lines
- Collaboration in open advanced packaging piloting facilities

IMAPS’ Annual Conference Opener in Phoenix ‘Blew My Mind’
03/05/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007It was a cool and sunny morning as I headed out to the IMAPS Device Packaging Conference 2025 in Arizona early Tuesday, which featured two compelling keynote speakers, and a day chocked full of technical sessions. IMAPS 2025 also hosted a sold-out exhibit hall with 65 exhibitors from IBM and Heraeus to Cadence and KYZEN, to name just a few. The technology and packaging discussions at this conference blew my mind last year, and it is clear this year would be no different.
