Purpose – To determine the status of internet and e-commerce adoption by the Taiwan semiconductor industry, the research is designed to help government and enterprise in formulating strategic plans and making resource allocation decisions. Design/methodology/approach – Using the three-level model of internet commerce adoption (MICA), a survey of 287 companies and web sites was designed. Semicon...

Tougher requirements related to the request for smaller, lighter and multi-functional electronic devices impose increased demands on IC packaging. Ever more complex circuitry, fine pitch and micro bump designs and die stacking are examples of how the industry meets these demands. Finding a suitable process technology for 3D packaging can be a challenge. This paper provides information about var...

In this thesis, companies using returnable plastic packaging are investigated from a green logistics’ perspective, focusing on the washing process performed after they are used. Returnable plastic boxes used to carry components are, in some cases, washed systematically to secure customer requirements. The purpose of this master thesis is to describe existing flows of returnable plastic boxes by...

Prescrire examined the packaging quality of 240 drugs in 2015. No new advances were identified, but drug packaging continues to expose patients to a variety of dangers. Some past advances persist: for example, INNs are often more legible, and recent patient leaflets tend to be clearer and more informative. But these measures are not applied to all drugs, and are rarely applied retroactively to ...

the packaging of handicrafts and traditional artworks is a definite solution to the problems of this industry. because a standard and ideal package will create a link between the customer's imagination and retailer and will ultimately have a high influence on the customer's interest to purchase the item. this will have a great impact on the overall handicrafts' sale in national and internationa...

As microelectronic packaging industry grows explosively, high I/O density interconnects and reliable packaging design are recognized as the main concern of the IC packaging industry. Hence, in this investigation, a novel type of anisotropic conductive film (ACF) composed of cobalt nanowires and polymer was developed and used in place of conventional solder bumps for ultra-fine pitch interconnec...

As the electronics industry moves toward smaller form and fit factors, advanced packaging technologies are needed to achieve these challenging design requirements. Current design problems are not driven by circuit design capabilities but by an inability to reliably package these circuits within the space constraints. Innovative packaging techniques are required in order to meet the increasing s...
