CPMT members participated in the CREST Industry-Academia Forum (IAF) on 7th April held in Penang. Mr. Shaw Fong Wong and Dr. Tze Yang Hin were invited to facilitate the “SEMICONDUCTOR Packaging” cluster. A pre- meeting survey was conducted to define the technology gaps required by the industry members and research interest of fellow researchers in academia. This led to a mutual interest of enabling 3D Packaging in both semiconductor and LED industries. Multiple building blocks were discussed in packaging architecture, materials, processing, reliability and test. The cluster looks forward to have sustainable research pipeline which will provide relevant technical solution to the industry.
