The semiconductor industry is entering an era where packaging innovation is as important as transistor scaling. Artificial intelligence, high-performance computing systems, advanced smartphones, automotive electronics, and next-generation networking platforms increasingly depend on advanced packaging technologies to deliver the bandwidth, power efficiency, and functionality these applications demand, often in increasingly smaller footprints. While much of the advanced packaging process control discussion focuses on defect detection, some challenges take of the form of subtle electrical conditions that can impact downstream yield, device reliability, and manufacturing consistency.
