PCB and packaging solutions for Green electronics

Abstract

Microelectronics plays a key role in fighting against global warming and preparing the world for the “post carbon age”. The performance of novel electronic based systems is constantly increasing by consuming less energy. This can be only achieved by novel systems that are designed in a holistic approach (Chip, passive components, package). The electronic package and interconnect solutions are contributing to these goals in a significant way. Besides this product focused potential for green electronics production and manufacturing of those is offering significant potential as well. Novel methods with respect to sustainable manufacturing have been achieved in this field and is contributing to reduce resource consumption in during production of electronic based systems of the future. These novel PCB and Packaging solutions as well as sustainable production concepts for them are under development in AT&S under IPCEI Microelectronic Project and will be presented in this talk.
