Advanced Packaging and Heterogeneous Integration Workshop: Where Industry, Academia, and Innovation Meet

Advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration are rapidly becoming the defining challenge for next-generation microelectronics. This free one-day workshop brings together leading voices from UK industry, national facilities, innovation centres, and academia to provide a comprehensive view of where we are and what needs to happen next in the UK. 

The CHIMES IKC, along with the REWIRE IKC, the National Epitaxy Facility and the Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Hub are seeking to better understand the barriers to increased diversity of the UK semiconductor workforce and the actions needed to overcome them.

The objectives of the pilot study are to deliver: 

CHIMES is exhibiting at Microelectronics UK 2025 on 24–25 September at ExCeL London – and we’d love to see you there!

We’ll be at Stand F6, showcasing how CHIMES is driving UK leadership in Heterogeneous Integration – the future of smart, scalable microelectronic systems. From sustainable semiconductor manufacturing to system-level innovation, we’re helping shape the UK’s semiconductor roadmap.

Why visit us?

The REACT Centre for Responsible Electronics And Circular Technologies, in collaboration with TechWorks, are hosting a workshop on the September 18 Sep 2025  at the  Royal Society, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1Y 5AG. We will be presenting an overview of the CHIMES Innovation and Knowledge Centre during the afternoon session covering the UK semiconductor research landscape.  

The event aims to bring together people within the UK semiconductor with an interest in:

The University of Southampton, together with the University of Sheffield, are set to receive £12.5m of government funding for a new centre to help design the next generation of electrical systems.

The Centre for Heterogeneous Integrated MicroElectronic and Semiconductor Systems  (CHIMES 2 ) will address the challenge of interconnecting semiconductors – microtechnology powering everyday electrical items – as they become increasingly smaller with advances in design.
