Educational Services
Amkor offers a variety of educational services to provide customers with the skills required to design complex packages. Offerings include package specific design training; design for manufacturability and design for cost. We can customize our Educational services to meet your needs and roadmaps.
Customer Design Rules
Amkor customers have access to Customer Approved Design Rules through Web.Datatm. These rules are updated periodically and email notifications are automatically sent to the customer advising them that the new rules are available.
Automation Support
Today’s packaging organizations are often left without automation support. Amkor can provide a full range of automation and EDA support services; include everything from package library management to a robust catalog of automation tools. PLM is the backbone of our infrastructure.
DQS (Design Quick Start) is an example of Amkor's powerful automation capability. DQS allows up-to-date access to Amkor's design libraries and automatically builds a Cadence Allegro / APD / SiP or Sigrity UPD database with all of the parts required for a successful Amkor design. Design Quick Start provides the designer engineer all of the components, pad stacks, and strip data loaded into the design, making the design immediately ready for laying out bond fingers and routing.
Doc Pro is Amkor's AutoCAD based drawing documentation tool. Doc Pro is linked to Amkor's design tracking system and automatically populates the required fields with verified design values based on request and package type. Doc Pro has dramatically decreased the time required to document a design and has virtually eliminated all manual drawing input.
CAD / CAM Tool Automation is a family of highly specialized tools that have been developed by Amkor to aid cycle time reduction and increase accuracy of advanced package designs. Examples below include: Flag and Ring Utilities, Same-Net, Via-Checking, and Via Dogbone Utility.
