In recent years, the MEMS devices have witnessed an explosive growth in market size, as well as the number of applications. Areas as diverse as automotive, gaming, mobile communications, display, printing, fiber optics, and biomedical have benefited from the integration MEMS technology. As most MEMS devices are based on silicon wafer process technology, it is only natural for semiconductor companies, design houses, and wafer foundries to jump on the MEMS bandwagon. In this presentation, a high-level overview of the packaging aspects of MEMS will be discussed. Issues including the similarities/dissimilarities of MEMS vs. Si, existing package platforms with potential MEMS application, cost drivers, and current MEMS activity examples at Amkor will be reviewed.
Presented by: Bob Kuo
Director of Advanced Package Development, Amkor Technology, Chandler, AZ
Bob Kuo received his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from National University of Taiwan, before he continued his pursue of graduate degrees in Materials Science (MS 1987, Ph.D.1993) at University of Rochester, NY. He spent 5 years with Polaroid Corp. in Boston area, in charge of optical metrology and new product development. Opportunity in working with Intel on their first CMOS camera optic module and warm weather lured him and his family to relocate in Tucson and joining Applied Image, Optics in 1997. His assignments there included managing the metrology group and then new business development. With the team Bob helped develop the world’s first plastic turn signal lens, first diffractive lens for digital imaging, first plastic lens for PC camera, and first plastic lens for cell phone camera modules. He left the company in pursue of consulting career, landing contracts in China, Taiwan, Singapore, and US. He joined Amkor in 1995 and is currently working as Director of Advanced Package Development, responsible for MEMS and photonics packages.

IMAPS France - 4th European ATW on Micropackaging and Thermal Management^
Top
The French Chapter of IMAPS will hold its 4th European Advanced Technology Workshop on Micropackaging and Thermal Management on February 4-5, 2009, at Mercure Oceanide, Vieux Port, Sud La Rochelle. The workshop will be dedicated to the thermal management and particularly to convenient cooling solutions for high integration level of equipments. Rising speed of the components leads to increase the power dissipation while miniaturisation and low cost technologies don't facilitate the mastering of the thermal impedances.
In such conditions, the thermal management, as a part of the packaging solutions, is and will continue to be one of the main technological keys for the future progress of the electronic components. The workshop's sessions will include the following topics and papers are invited in these areas:
Cooling for microelectronics packaging Microcooling solutions Heat condcutive materials Chip, board and system thermal management Thermal modelisation and simulation Heatsinks, heatpipes and other cooling products Liquid and phase change cooling New cooling solutions Experience return (products and systems cooling, power electronics, automotive, transport,...)
Thermal management of opto electronics components
Deadline for submitting papers is November 5, 2008. Authors must submit a 200-300 word abstract describing their proposed 25 minutes presentation (20 minutes + 5 minutes for questions). For more information, visit www.imapsfrance.org or contact Florence Vireton at imaps.france@imapsfrance.org.
