Koh Young Technology Brings Proven 3D Metrology Expertise to the Advanced Packaging Stage at ECTC 2026
April 21, 2026 | Koh Young AmericaEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
Koh Young, the industry leader in True3D™ measurement-based inspection solutions, is bringing its battle-tested platform to where that challenge is being solved at the 2026 IEEE Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC), May 26–29, at the JW Marriott & The Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida. The advanced packaging industry is demanding a level of inspection precision that traditional metrology simply cannot deliver, and Koh Young is ready to meet that moment.
A Proven Platform. A New Frontier.
Koh Young's True3D™ technology didn't become the global standard in electronics manufacturing inspection by accident. It earned that position by delivering measurement accuracy, process intelligence, and yield improvements that manufacturers could measure and depend on. Now, that same platform is being applied to the complexity of advanced packaging, including heterogeneous integration, wafer-level packaging, and semiconductor inspection, where the margin for error is even smaller and the cost of failure even greater.
As the exclusive sponsor of the ECTC Gala, Koh Young is making a clear statement: this community matters, and we are here for the long term. The 2026 technical program spans assembly and manufacturing technologies, heterogeneous integration, wafer-level packaging, and semiconductor inspection, reflecting exactly the challenges our solutions are engineered to address.
See It for Yourself at Booth 208
Talk is cheap. At Booth 208, Koh Young's specialists will show, not just tell, how AI-powered 3D inspection is solving real problems in advanced packaging production. See how True3D™ measurement and automated process control help manufacturers improve quality, reduce waste, and build toward zero-defect production. If you're wrestling with yield loss, process drift, or inspection gaps in your advanced packaging line, this is a conversation worth having.
Making the Case for a New Standard
"Advanced packaging is pushing the boundaries of what inspection and metrology have traditionally been asked to do," said Joel Scutchfield, General Manager of Surface Mount & Advanced Packaging Operations at Koh Young America. "We built the inspection standard in SMT by delivering measurement accuracy and process intelligence that manufacturers could actually depend on. Now we're bringing that same rigor and commitment to zero-defect manufacturing to advanced packaging. ECTC 2026 is where we make that case directly to the engineers and decision-makers who need it most."

Volatile Metals Market Creates PCB Pricing Headache
04/20/2026 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Market volatility for precious metals is very real. Financial organizations have reported elevated volatility, with record highs and steep corrections; in 2025 alone, gold has increased by over 60%, silver over 120%, and copper over 35%. Each is a critical raw material used in electronics manufacturing, where pricing is already fraught for business owners and their customers due to tariff uncertainty and a critical supply chain that resides mostly in China. The volatility of precious metals markets adds yet another layer of complexity for manufacturers, pushing up raw material costs.
