WHO WILL DRIVE TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCE

Electronic materials and packaging have been inexorably drawn along with the relentless march of technology. The complexity and capability of electronics increases with technology, yet it reduces the size and simplifies the shape of the materials and components that go to make up electronics. Whilst basic research into materials and packaging can be targeted into the areas of concern the main thrust for improvements is, of necessity, controlled by the specific needs of the product and the market.
