Workshop Overview:

The Advanced Technology Workshop (ATW) on Passive Integration features the latest papers on integrating resistors, capacitors, and inductors into leading edge applications. Topics will be presented from industry leaders like AVX, DuPont, NXP Semiconductors, Oak Mitsui, Omega Technologies, Samsung and leading research institutions like Georgia Tech, Fraunhofer Institute, IMEC, University of Arkansas and others. This workshop will focus on all aspects of passive integration from basic materials to design to manufacturing to applications like SiP. In addition, passive integration technology and market trends will be covered.

Passive technologies are essential for implementing smaller, cheaper and faster products. This workshop is an opportunity for passive integration developers to interact with industry leaders who are bringing these technologies to the marketplace.

Thursday, November 15
Thursday’s session will be at the San Jose Convention Center.
