The semiconductor industry is headed towards heterogeneous integration in 2.5D or 3D form being driven primarily by the high cost of monolithic integration. This is great news for packaging.
This presentation will use emerging applications in the areas of artificial intelligence, high performance computing, automotive, wireless communication, and others as the primary driver for packaging along with the current state of the art, ongoing research, and some exciting problems to address.
Madhavan Swaminathan is the John Pippin Chair in Microsystems Packaging & Electromagnetics in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Professor in ECE with a joint appointment in the School of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), and Director of the 3D Systems Packaging Research Center (PRC), Georgia Tech (GT) (http://prc.gatech.edu). He also serves as the Site Director for the NSF Center for Advanced Electronics through Machine Learning (CAEML: https://publish.illinois.edu/advancedelectronics/) and Theme Leader for Heterogeneous Integration, at the SRC JUMP ASCENT Center (https://ascent.nd.edu/). Prior to joining GT, he was with IBM working on packaging for supercomputers.
He is the author of 530+ refereed technical publications and holds 31 patents. He is the primary author and co-editor of 3 books and 5 book chapters, founder and co-founder of two start-up companies, and founder of the IEEE Conference on Electrical Design of Advanced Packaging and Systems (EDAPS), a premier conference sponsored by the IEEE Electronics Packaging Society (EPS). He is an IEEE Fellow and has served as the Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) society. He received his MS and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from Syracuse University in 1989 and 1991, respectively.
