NGK Teams Up for Hybrid Ceramic Module Substrates

A groundbreaking startup based in Taiwan is making waves in the tech industry with its innovative approach to developing ceramic substrates integrated with rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for optoelectronic and RF modules. PanelSemi, the company behind this cutting-edge technology, is at the forefront of revolutionizing the way semiconductor modules are designed and manufactured.

PanelSemi's primary focus lies in the creation of ultra-thin flexible LED displays and substrates tailored for semiconductor modules. To enhance the performance of their products, the company has forged a strategic partnership with NGK Insulators, a renowned name in the industry known for its high-performance hybrid packaging solutions.

One of PanelSemi's key achievements is the development of a tiled thin-film transistor (TFT) circuit fabrication technology, initially designed for their displays. Leveraging this technology, the company is now venturing into the realm of hybrid circuit boards by integrating fine wiring and functional circuits on polyimide film with a ceramic substrate.

As part of its growth strategy, PanelSemi is diversifying its offerings to include high-performance circuit boards catering to semiconductor modules. With a focus on large-scale panel manufacturing for wireless communications and opto-electronic integration, the company is poised to make a significant impact in the industry.

NGK's investment in PanelSemi as part of its Road to 2050 strategy underscores the potential of this collaboration. By combining PanelSemi's circuit fabrication expertise with NGK's cutting-edge products like the ultra-compact lithium-ion rechargeable EnerCera battery and ceramic packages, the partnership is set to drive innovation in the sector.
