Dr. Suresh Ramalingam
Xilinx Fellow (VP)
Topic: Challenges and Opportunities in Next Generation of Advanced Packaging
Dr. Suresh Ramalingam graduated in 1994 with a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge. He holds 32 US Patents, 2013 SEMI Award, Ross Freeman Award for Technical Innovation, ECTC 2011 Conference Best Paper Award, IMAPS 2013 and 2014 Conference Best Paper Awards for 2.5D/3D and book chapter on 3D Integration in VLSI Circuits.
He started his career at Intel developing Organic Flip Chip Technology for Micro-processors which was implemented on Pentium II (Intel’s first flip chip product) in 1997. As one of the co-founders and Director of Packaging Materials at Scion Photonics he helped develop DWDM modules used by major communication companies. JDS Uniphase acquired Scion Photonics in 2002.
As a Xilinx Fellow, he currently manages Advanced Packaging Interconnect Technology Development including TSV/3D for Xilinx FPGA products. Thermal Enablement and Board/System Level is a key focus area to push the power/performance envelope under the leadership of Dr. Gamal Refai-Ahmed and happy to be a partner in crime supporting the necessary technology pieces.
