The network era of the 21st century requires that both desktop-type equipment and mobile equipment be connected to networks for the exchange of data and information. Improvements to hardware, in the form of higher speeds of data transmission and information processing, will be required. Furthermore, higher-density assembly and lower levels of power consumption will be called for to realize lighter and more compact mobile equipment. Consequently, the semiconductor assembly technology for such equipment will not be the conventional surface mounting technology. Hitachi has been focusing on the development of a new assembly technology to meet these needs.
