Japan cranks up packaging research to avoid 'crisis'

EE Times 01/24/00
TOKYO ( ChipWire)-- Claiming the "Japanese industry has a sense of impending crisis of being behind," a broad industry group presented aggressive roadmaps for leaping forward in semiconductor packaging technology at the Internepcon Japan trade show here last week.
