The 51st International Symposium on Microelectronics is organized by the International Microelectronics Assembly and Packaging Society (iMAPS). This year iMAPS has rolled out a new technical program that has been organized to help attendees find their key interests faster. This was done by defining five leading tracks with topics centered around the major package platforms such as Wafer Level, Flip Chip, 2D/3D, SiP, as well as the traditional focus areas of reliability, advanced materials and processes.

Practical Components features technology that cannot be found elsewhere, dummy components that not only have the same exact materials but also are made on the same production lines as the live components. The company is unique in its ability to supply manufacturer engineering support to the unique products it supplies.

Practical supplies all the “standard essentials” as well as the future technology that is needed for companies to advance their evolution.
