I-Connect007 Announces Upcoming Issue of Advanced Electronics Packaging Digest
May 13, 2026 | I-Connect007Estimated reading time: 1 minute
The next issue of Advanced Electronics Packaging Digest examines the materials, architectures, and integration strategies shaping the next phase of electronics innovation, from reinforcement materials under thermal and frequency pressure to heterogeneous integration and advanced packaging as a system-level scaling factor.
In “Rethinking Reinforcement Materials for Advanced Packaging: Thermal, Frequency, and Supply Chain Pressures,” Felixiramics’ Ivana Ivanovic examines how reinforcement materials are evolving from a background consideration into a key factor in performance, reliability, and supply chain resilience.
In “System Architecture Beyond the Die With Advanced Packaging as the Scaling Factor,” Marvell Technology Principal Engineer Chetan Patil explains how advanced packaging is redefining system architecture through heterogeneous chiplet assemblies and package-level interconnects.
The issue also includes an exclusive interview with Intel Fellow Dr. Ravi Mahajan, a keynote speaker at APEX EXPO. In “What Heterogeneous Integration Means for EMS Providers,” Mahajan discusses how heterogeneous integration is reshaping system design and why advanced packaging has become central to the industry’s future roadmap.
Together, these features examine the technologies, materials, and architectural shifts driving the next generation of electronics manufacturing and advanced system integration. This issue will be delivered to subscribers on May 18.
