Chip scale packaging (CSP) saves real estate through increased circuit density. Within this conference, flexible circuitry and CSP uses, including RFID, will be discussed standalone and in combination. Get on the fast track and learn what you need to get ahead of the competition! Find Out About RFID and its Applications and Benefits! RFID is a generic term for chip scale technologies that use radio waves to automatically identify objects. There are several methods of identification, the most common being to store an identifying serial number on a microchip that is attached to an antenna. Together, the chip and antenna are designated as an RFID tag or transponder. By easily tracking a product from manufacture to operation in the field, RFID can better prevent supplier/customer misunderstandings and increase the amount of product information that can be tracked. Take a look at some of the illuminating sessions being offered: * Super Synergy = Flex + Chip + RFID * Practical Use of RFID in Electronics Manufacturing * Laser Ablation * Novel Flex-Based IC Packaging and Interconnection Structures for High Performance Applications * RoHS Compliant Final Finishes on Flex: Processes and Characteristics Hear company representatives from Tessera, ET-Trends LLC, Sanmina-SCI and DuPont, to name a few as they share their flexible circuitry, CSP and RFID knowledge. And, check out the tabletop exhibits during the conference break where you'll get details on the latest technology. Get ready for RFID and stay on top of flex circuitry.
