Project description
Advanced packaging for mass produced optical, photonics and electrical parts
Europe’s semiconductor packaging industry needs to maintain its competitive advantage. To achieve this goal, a decisive turn to advanced and more complex processes is necessary. The EU-funded APPLAUSE project will develop new processes, methods and tools for packaging mass produced optical and electrical parts. The project will conduct pilot tests in six manufacturing use cases. Backed by a consortium of leading experts from European electronics packaging companies and research organisations, the overall aim of the project is to offer advanced technologies and contribute to the competitiveness of the European packaging industry.
Objective
The strong drive for more complex systems and more advanced packaging, including optics and photonics, creates a chance to retain the manufacturing and packaging value chain to Europe - or even start to bring it back. APPLAUSE supports this by building on the European expertise in advanced packaging and assembly to develop new tools, methods and processes for high volume mass manufacturing of electrical and optical components. The technologies will be piloted in 5 industrial Use Cases, related to 1. Substantially smaller 3D integrated ambient light sensor for mobile and wearable applications (AMS) 2. High performance, low cost, uncooled thermal IR sensor for automotive and surveillance applications (IDEAS) 3. High speed Datacom transceivers with reduced manufacturing costs (DustPhotonics) 4. Flexible cardiac monitoring patch and miniaturized cardiac implants with advanced monitoring capabilities (GE Healthcare and Cardiaccs). The APPLAUSE consortium is built of a number of leading experts from European electronics packaging companies representing different value chain levels related to advanced packaging and smart system integration. The parties have complementary expertise in conception, design, packaging, testing and manufacturing of electronic components, as well as a wide range of expertise from several different end use areas. The unique European ecosystem established within the consortium represents the competitive, leading edge of the technologies available.
