🧪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.

🧪Last week, the practical week of the Semiconductor Packaging University Program took place. Three eager students worked in our labs and learned that dies can actually fly. Their efforts were rewarded with a well-deserved certificate.

🧪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...
