Introduction to Integrated Circuit Packaging and Assembly

August 24, 2026 by Limor Herb

Date/Time
Date(s) - 08/24/2026 - 09/21/2026
4:00 PM - 5:30 PM


Abstract

This course provides a practical introduction to integrated circuit packaging and assembly, explaining how semiconductor die are transformed into reliable, usable electronic components. Participants will be introduced to common and advanced package types, package materials, interconnect methods, assembly processes, and marking techniques.

Instructor

Dr. Shane Smith (Ph.D., Electrical and Computer Engineering, The Ohio State University) is a Research Scientist at The Ohio State University Electroscience Lab and President and co-founder of SenseICs Corporation. Shane has worked for more than 25 years designing, producing, and maintaining electronic systems used in integrated circuit research, high-energy physics experiments at CERN and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, and other applications. His broad expertise covers a range of electrical engineering activities, including the design and development of radiation-hard mixed-signal ASICs, FPGA-based data acquisition systems, medical imaging electronics, chemical vapor deposition diamond detectors, and high-voltage power supply systems. Additionally, his academic publications, which include more than 80 peer-reviewed conference papers and journal articles, have been cited more than 20,000 times.

Target Audience
