Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As the integrated circuit industry becomes increasingly oriented by the "More than Moore" wave, electronic packaging is under the spotlight more than ever. This particular industrial sector is developing a fusion with cutting-edge micro/nano-scale science and engineering, with a significant impact on modern manufacturing. This Special Issue aims to provide a forum for the researchers and engineers of microelectronics packaging to share their latest ideas and discoveries, with an emphasis on advanced science and technology at the micro/nano-scale, a major topic covered by the journal Micromachines. In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: design and implementation of new packaging architecture, advanced chip-to-substrate interconnection, high-density and low-temperature interconnection, micro/nano-structures for surface and interface engineering in packaging, new materials and processes of advanced packaging, modeling and simulation, heterogeneous integration, MEMS packaging and integration, packaging reliability, and manufacturing tooling.

This paper presents a comprehensive review of advancements in wafer-level packaging (WLP) technology, with a particular focus on its application in surface acoustic wave (SAW) and bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filters. As wireless communication systems continue to evolve, there is an increasing demand for higher performance and miniaturization, which has made acoustic wave devices—especially SAW and BAW filters—crucial components in the Radio Frequency (RF) front-end systems of mobile devices. This review explores key developments in WLP technology, emphasizing novel materials, innovative structures, and advanced modeling techniques that have enabled the miniaturization and enhanced functionality of these filters. Additionally, the paper discusses the role of WLP in addressing challenges related to size reduction and integration, facilitating the creation of multi-functional devices with low manufacturing costs and high precision. Finally, it highlights the opportunities and future directions of WLP technology in the context of next-generation wireless communication standards. Full article
