Abstract

The Package Innovation Roadmap Council (PIRC) was established as part of the Failure Analysis Technology Roadmap activity at the direction of the EDFAS Board. This column provides an overview of a technical paper by the PIRC that highlights recent innovations, technology gaps, and future development trends in package fault isolation and failure analysis. The paper focuses on three main categories: 1) Artificial intelligence (AI) applications, 2) Sample handling, and 3) FA tool robustness.
