Microelectronic packaging technology transfer

The appropriate and efficient technology transfer mechanism will vary, depending on individual company circumstances and needs. It is important for research organizations to have multiple mechanisms in place to meet the diverse needs of research sponsors. The Computer Aided Life Cycle Engineering Electronic Packaging Research Center (CALCE EPRC) at the University of Maryland has considerable experience in efficient technology transfer mechanisms. A comparative view of different mechanisms is discussed. The use of software as a primary technology transfer mechanism is addressed. The supplemental activities of CALCE EPRC are reported
