So University of Arkansas physics professor Huaxiang Fu decided to use solid state theory to examine the properties of a combination of organic material and inorganic semiconductors. He and his colleague found that the hybrid will retain the superior electronic properties of semiconductors as well as its mechanical flexibility of organic material &#8212 and that it even has a few advantages over the pure semiconductor material.

(March 11, 2004) San Jose, Calif.&#8212The market for semiconductor packaging materials is expected to grow from $7.9 billion in 2003 to $11.7 billion by 2008, according to a just-released study, ‘Global Semiconductor Packaging Materials Outlook,’ by SEMI and TechSearch International.
