A major bottleneck in the development of next generation packaging technologies is the design tools. Due to the integration of heterogeneous functions in a package, mixed signal design tools are necessary that are part of a design flow. The Packaging Research Center (PRC) at Georgia Institute of Technology has been one of the pioneers in this area, introducing tools that address the System-on-Package (SOP) technologies. Design of such highly integrated mixed-signal systems require new tools that, for example, take into consideration the increased interaction between the IC and package leading to system miniaturization. This workshop is targeted to discuss the electrical and mechanical issues arising in mixed signal design, leading to the development of mixed-signal design tools through the formation of a consortium of companies at PRC, which can provide solutions in this area.

The morning session of the workshop will include presentations by participants from industry and the Packaging Research Center, Georgia Tech. The afternoon session will include a discussion on the formation of the consortia and consortia topics. The attendees from industry will include participants that represent EDA companies, system companies and semiconductor companies.
