Tempe, Ariz.—October 1, 2019—Deca Technologies is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with nepes corporation (nepes) whereby nepes will expand its geographic footprint and manufacturing capabilities by taking over the operations of Deca Technologies Philippines manufacturing facility. The investment will permit the expansion of the WLCSP capacity already in mass production and now offer up to 100,000 wafers per month with a dual site capability courtesy of the Korea site in addition to the Philippines facility.

As part of the agreement, nepes has licensed Deca’s M-Series technology to further enable the rapid industry adoption of advanced fan-out technology. Deca’s revolutionary M-Series with Adaptive Patterning combined with nepes strong experience in fan-out and large panel manufacturing creates a powerful combination for future growth.

Multiple industry research firms have identified M-Series designed into several Tier One handsets in support of a leader in PMIC applications, further announcements are expected to follow as more customers adopt the technology. Integration of nepes’ large panel and SIP capabilities with M-Series and Adaptive Patterning will create multiple exciting customer module solution possibilities including advanced heterogeneous integration.
