Fraunhofer, Swissbit Target Europe's Advanced Packaging Gap

Fraunhofer and Swissbit are targeting the "missing middle" in Europe's semiconductor industry: advanced packaging for specialized products at low volumes. The problem often begins after a prototype works.

• Europe leads in research but lags in advanced chip packaging
• Fraunhofer and Swissbit focus on low-volume production segment
• The gap appears after a working prototype moves toward production
