How Sarcina Technology Makes Advanced Semiconductor Package Design Easier

For a long time, package engineering was part of the cleanup crew for chip design. The glory was all around the design of advance monolithic chips on the latest technology node. Once the design was done, the package/test team would take the design over the finish line, adding the required I/O specs, lead frame, load board and test … Read More
