The 56th International Symposium on Microelectronics organized by the International Microelectronics Assembly and Packaging Society (IMAPS) is just around the corner. This year’s symposium will feature five technical tracks, professional development courses and an interactive poster session. The technical program spans three days of sessions with emphasis on SiP/Design/Manufacturing Optimization; Wafer Level/Panel Level (Advanced RDL); High Performance/High Reliability; Advanced Package (Flip Chip, 2.5D, 3D, Optical…); Advanced Process & Materials (Enabling Tech.).
The 3D InCites team will be hosting member companies at the 3D InCites Podcast Booth located in the show entrance area. We are currently recruiting content for the annual Yearbook and as always inviting companies to join our vast network of community members. Additionally, nominations for our 3D Awards will begin. Each year, we celebrate efforts in innovation by hosting the 3D InCites Awards, which recognizes excellence in heterogeneous integration, 3D HI, and chiplet technologies; sustainability; and diversity, equity and inclusion. Nominations for the awards open Monday, October 2.
We have a large number of community members that will be in attendance in San Diego, serving roles as keynote speakers, moderators, presenters and exhibitors.
Member companies scheduled to teach the Professional Development Courses offered on Monday, October 2, prior to IMAPS 2023, are as follows:

It will introduce RF packaging and heterogeneous integration technologies suitable for the development of components, modules and systems for these applications. |
| PDC13: 3:30pm-5:30pm | SYSTEM-IN-PACKAGE (SIP) SYSTEM SOLUTIONS THROUGH MINIATURIZATION – Mark Gerber, ASE This PDC course will introduce the package platform SiP (System-in-Package) and how some companies are diversifying from SOC (System-on-a-Chip) to leverage heterogeneous silicon integration and package miniaturization to enable system level solutions. A short market perspective will be reviewed as well as how industry segments are leveraging SiP and how the OEM market is evolving and creating system level ecosystems to enabling content revenue- a key area of IOT. |

KEYNOTE 3: THE NEXT STAGE OF AI: BUILDING FOUNDATION MODELS WIH CHIPLET ARCHITECTURES ENABLED BY HI
Jeffrey Burns, IBM Research
The emergence of Foundation Models is transforming AI. Very large Foundation Models exacerbate computing requirements for AI model inference, fine-tuning, and training. Significant improvements in performance and efficiency are required to address these exponentially growing demands and specialized AI accelerators and systems are needed. A nimble roadmap of ever more capable AI systems requires well-balanced improvement across compute, communication, and memory. Heterogeneous integration and chiplet methods are key ingredients in achieving this balance. In this presentation I will explore the challenges and opportunities in this exciting space, along with some of IBM’s ongoing work to address them.
