🧪In collaboration with Holst Centre, CITC has developed a fan-out panel level packaging (FOPLP) demo. This is a cost-effective platform for high-performance small form factor packages. The technology serves as a building block for future high-frequency packages such as automotive radar.
A close-up of a fan-out panel level package (FOPLP). This is a cost-effective platform for high-performance small form factor packages. The panel in the picture measures 320 x 350 mm. The technology forms the basis for further development and prototyping, as it serves as a building block for future high-frequency packages such as automotive radar.

🧪One of our Noviotech Campus partners wanted to know if we could facilitate a two-day internship for a 14-year-old STEM student... Of course we could! We created a customized 'introduction to chip packaging' program, including the making of the one and only CITC key chain. #accesstoeducation

🧪A well-attended Nijmegen Technology Day. Over 100 children gazed in amazement at the tiny chip under the microscope, tried to guess the number of chip packages in the jar, and got to work on the 'make-your-own-microchip-out-of-paper' project. Perhaps, a little 'STEM seed' has been planted...
