TASK FORCE ORGANIZATION FORM (TFOF)
Date Prepared:
11/07/2017
Revised (if Applicable):
12/08/2021
Name of Task Force (TF):
Panel Level Packaging (PLP) Panel Task Force
Global Technical Committee:
3D Packaging and Integration
Originating Technical Committee Region:
North America
_____________________________________________________________________________
1. Charter:
(State the objective of the proposed TF.)
Panel level processing (PLP) technology is an enhanced wafer-level packaging technology, embedding die in a substrate which is patterned to allow higher density of IOs than would otherwise be supported by the chip size.
A number of different formats – including circular and rectangular (including square) – have been proposed for the substrates into which the die are embedded. In the case of panels, there have been a large number of different rectangular/square sizes. This wide selection of formats is delaying the wider acceptance of panel level packaging (PLP) technologies, as the tools must be customized for each different aspect ratio.
This Task Force will focus on the development of standards for PLP, with focus on panel dimensions. The Task Force will consider other parameters as suggested by the wider community as being appropriate for standardization.

2. Scope:
(Define the specific activities that the TF will conduct.)
This Task Force will develop one or more standards focusing on PLP applications, focusing on parameters such as
· Size
· Thickness range
· ID marking and orientation
· Edge exclusion
· Geometric parameters, such as total thickness variation (TTV), bow, warp, etc.

5. Comments
At SEMICON West 2019 Meetings, the TF name was changed from "Fan-Out Panel Level Packaging (FO-PLP) Panel Task Force" to "Panel Level Packaging (PLP) Panel Task Force" and the charter and scope to reflect that change.
Revised TFOF to add PIC GTC in section 3 at the TC Chapter Meeting held on December 8th in conjunction with SEMICON West 2021.
