What sets TechSearch apart from others?
The Advanced Packaging Update (4 issues per year) features special coverage of market and technology developments for BGAs, CSPs, stacked die CSPs, flip chip, and wafer level packages. Each issue includes new applications, developments in materials and assembly equipment, and new package constructions.
Topics covered include:
TechSearch International's deep understanding of advanced packaging technologies is supported by teardowns of leading-edge system products. We perform our own teardowns and utilize third-party services of other experts. Information from the teardowns can be found throughout our line of reports. We also provide to clients individual teardown reports.
TechSearch International president Jan Vardaman served as co-author on a study from IPC that provides a thorough, data-driven analysis of the global semiconductor and advanced packaging ecosystem. The study, An Analysis of the North American Semiconductor and Advanced Packaging Ecosystem, highlights the role of advanced packaging in driving innovation in semiconductor designs.
In partnership with SEMI®, we offer a comprehensive data file tracking over 500 total back-end facilities of IDMs and outsourced semiconductor assembly and testing manufacturers. This database offers access to and insights into global OSAT facilities in China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Americas. The report also highlights packaging technology offerings by manufacturing location
In partnership with TECHCET and SEMI®, we offer a comprehensive market research study that examines semiconductor packaging trends and their impact on the packaging materials markets. Markets are quantified, new opportunities are highlighted for advanced technology nodes and emerging package form factors, and the materials market outlook is presented.
In partnership with SavanSys Solutions, TechSearch International provides access to valuable cost models for packaging. SavanSys develops the models and we help to calibrate the data. Available are cost models for fan-out wafer level packaging, WLP, 2.5D and 3D packaging, flip chip, and wire bond applications.
IEEE Frances B. Hugle Engineering Scholarship, established by IEEE and TechSearch International
In celebration of TechSearch International’s 25th anniversary, we partnered with IEEE Women in Engineering Committee (WIE) to establish a scholarship for women going into the field of engineering.
The scholarship, named the IEEE Frances B. Hugle Engineering Scholarship, honors the memory of the distinguished engineer for whom the fund is named. Frances Hugle graduated from the University of Chicago in 1946 with degrees in chemistry, physics, and philosophy and received her M.Sc. degree from the University of Cincinnati. She co-founded Hugle Industries, Siliconix, Stewart Warner Microcircuits, Inc. and Opto-Electronics Devices, Inc. In each of these companies she served as a director of R&D and as chief engineer. She held 16 known patents in the field of electronics and was one of the pioneers in the invention of tape automated bonding (TAB).
To encourage young women to follow in Hugle’s footsteps, IEEE WIE selects one scholar annually to receive a $2,500 scholarship. The scholarship is presented to one female in her third year of undergraduate study in an engineering curriculum at an accredited university or college in the United States. Student membership in the IEEE is required. To apply, visit wie.ieee.org/francesbhugle.
Our company started the contributions with a donation of $5,000 in December 2012 and we have continued the scholarship program ever since. We hope that your company will join us by making a contribution.
The IEEE Foundation, a tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization in the United States, is accepting and managing the donations. Donations can be made by:
1. Online at ieee.org/donate by selecting the Frances B. Hugle Memorial Fund
2. By check payable to the IEEE Foundation – Frances B. Hugle Memorial Fund and mailed to IEEE Foundation, 445 Hoes Lane, Piscataway, NJ, 08854, USA.
Donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law in the United States. For other countries, please check with your local tax advisor. All donations of $25 or more receive an acknowledgement letter for tax purposes. To learn more about the IEEE Foundation, visit ieeefoundation.org or call the IEEE Development Office at +1 732-562-3915 or email donate@ieee.org.
