The SiP (System in Package) Consortium is an organization aimed at efficient development of next generation SiP, and is primarily involved with the materials equipments and passive components manufacturers who form the foundation of the semiconductor packaging process. Since each of these companies can offer cutting edge technology in its field, the Consortium's SiP development is able to achieve technology worthy of "#1 Technology Worldwide" status. The SiP Consortium was established to leverage the synergy produced by the cooperation of companies in varied industries, to provide more advanced technological resources and more sophisticated development. Moving forward, the SiP Consortium will focus on the following issues:
* Activism for the maintenance of SiP technology infrastructure/Seminars/Promotion of Defacto Standards
* SiP technology development (development of SiP parts, materials, device technologies)

A Message from the Director General
Since its inception in August of 2002, the SiP Consortium has been steadily advancing its original goal of developing technology essential to building SiP infrastructure. This has been made possible with the cooperation of its members- Chairman Kawanishi, Vice Chairman Suga, the solid backup of the Advisor Committee comprised of top-level representatives from member companies, the Consortium Operating Committee, and the Technology development Division members.

The infrastructure for SMT packaging technology, that makes use of reflow soldering as a 2-dimensional packaging technology, has evolved over the past 20 years. Improvements and standardization of Pick & Place mounters, refinement and standardization of PCB design, miniaturization and standardization of parts included semiconductor packaging, and advanced standardization of SMT packaging infrastructure all provide evidence of the maturity of this field. It is because of the parts, materials, and devices that are built on this infrastructure, that electronic devices can be manufactured at low costs with uniformity, whether packaged in Japan, China, or elsewhere. Although the refinement and miniaturization of SMT infrastructure has steadily improved over the years, it is beginning to approach its technical limit.

The new packaging infrastructure that the SiP Consortium is proposing aims to create packaging technology that enables miniaturized and refined 3-dimensional packaging, based on semiconductor packaging technology. We can expect the emergence of products that require ultra-small, high-density 3-dimensional packaging that is difficult to achieve with the highly mature 2-dimensional SMT packaging technology. Furthermore, demand for such a technology is likely to increase.
It is the objective of this Consortium to deliver one after another, the parts, materials, and devices needed in an infrastructure for 3-dimensional packaging of electronic devices used in such products as small robots, sensors, and other MEMS devices. All of our participating companies are working to realize this goal, one step at a time.

Since the development of such a new infrastructure requires the integration of many technologies, the Consortium plans to hold semiannual seminars, to evangelize about the benefits of SiP, and attract the participation of many engineers.
It is our hope that through the dissemination of information on this Web Site, you will gain an interest in SiP, feel strongly about this new infrastructure, and actively communicate to use any ideas or desires that you may have.

We will work to make this Web site a favorite among the many engineers who work with SIP, who will use it as a reference for SIP related materials, and as a web forum. This site is an important piece of the Consortium's endeavors. Please enjoy it.
