Abstract (Englisch)

A Network of Excellence in Microlectronic Packaging (NETPACK III) will be installed which continues the previous activities of NETPACK I and NETPACK II. During the last project more than 450 companies and institutes became a member of NETPACK. The activities in the network will be done within five workpackages. In the WP Packaging Store, Vision Lab and Education Pool information on advanced packaging technology and student education will be collected from the network members and provided by an internet based information system. The WP NETPACK Club will install a communication platform for the network members. The WP Management will coordinate the network activities and establish contacts to other networks and packaging organizations worldwide.

Objectives:
- to install an internet based Packaging Store, which provides advanced information on materials, equipment and services for the microelectronic packaging
- to provide information on future trends in products and technologies
- to strengthen significantly the education of European packaging engineers
- to encourage discussion between network members by am internet communication platform
- to improve constantly the network performance by feedback from the members.
