Quote of the Week "The support from this ATP project has been instrumental in developing a testing methodology to study structural integrity of plastic high-density area-array packages. This is an important reliability concern for packaging development and the project has attracted a good deal of interest from the semiconductor industry and has led to research contracts and in-kind support from Semiconductor Research Corporation, Texas Instruments, Motorola and 3M Corporation, with total funding exceeding $300,000."
