At IWLPC 2019, the fan-out panel-level packaging (PLP) debate continued in another of Jan Vardaman’s famous lively panel discussions, which was co-moderated by PLP technology expert, Tanja Braun, Fraunhofer IZM. Panelists were John Hunt, ASE; Joseph Dang, AT&S; Keith Best, Rudolph Technologies; Tim Olson, Deca Technologies.
