DNP also has participated in Jisso Open Innovation of Tops 2 (JOINT2), targeting further functional developments for mass-production in 2024. JOINT2 is a consortium comprising 12 companies developing semiconductor packaging materials, substrates, and equipment. Showa Denko Materials Co., Ltd. is the managing company, and was selected for the Research and Development Project of the Enhanced Infrastructures for Post-5G Information and Communication Systems by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
“Through cooperation with the other participating JOINT2 companies, DNP will accelerate the further functionality of the interposer as well as advance initiatives aimed at mass production in 2024. We will also promote the development of next-generation semiconductor packaging technology.” says Ryoichi Ohigashi of the Research and Business Development Center, DNP.
Background
The shift to higher functionality, greater speed and lower power consumption for semiconductor products requires miniaturization technology of semiconductor by using photo-lithography. It is said, however, that further miniaturization is rapidly approaching its limit, due to the complexity of the process and high costs. To overcome these challenges, the focus is on next-generation semiconductor packaging technology that improves processing speed by mounting multiple chips (e.g., CPUs, AI processors and memories) at high-densities, on the surface of an interposer.
Features
The interposer overcomes the issue of an increase in wiring resistance, and degradation of insulation resistance between the wirings, to achieve the high-performance necessary for leading edge semiconductor packaging.
DNP manufactures templates for nanoimprint lithography, a next-generation pattern transfer technology by employing microfabrication technology based on printing processes. We also broadly expand businesses through MEMS foundry services for sensors. In this latest development, we have applied glass and silicon substrate processing developed through the aforementioned businesses for advanced packaging technologies, along with handling technology and fine wiring formation technology.
About DNP
Since 1876, DNP is a global leader in the provision of printing solutions that connect people and society, providing new value. We exploit our proprietary strengths in printing and information to propose solutions that support the development of a people-friendly information society, including electronic components targeting next-generation communications, and platforms that boost IoT information security.

Gurobi's Research Leadership Recognized Across Leading Scientific Organizations16.6.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Gurobi Optimization, LLC, the leader in decision intelligence technology, today announced recognitions received by Dr. Edward Rothberg and Dr. Andreas Wächter from leading academic and industry organizations for research that has had lasting impact on the field of optimization. “Gurobi was founded on a commitment to rigorous, applied optimization research,” said Dr. Oliver Bastert, CTO, Gurobi. “And these recognitions are a reflection of that legacy. The foundational work that Ed and Andreas produced continues to shape the field, and that same spirit of scientific innovation drives everything we do today.” Dr. Edward Rothberg, co-founder and Chairman of the Board at Gurobi, was recently honored with the INFORMS Test of Time Paper Award for his paper, “An Evolutionary Algorithm for Polishing Mixed Integer Programming Solutions.” The paper introduced a novel approach to finding high-quality solutions to difficult MIP problems — expanding what was possible within the MIP framework and inf
New CSC Report Illustrates How AI Is Affecting Enterprise Security Leaders16.6.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
CSC, an enterprise-class domain registrar and world leader in mitigating brand, fraud, domain, and domain name system (DNS) threats, today released new research on how chief information security officers (CISOs) are adapting to an evolving artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem while managing traditional cyber threats, such as DNS outages. According to CSC’s CISO Outlook 2026 report, 73% of respondents say AI presents more of an opportunity than a risk for cybersecurity. However, these security leaders continue to face challenges in addressing attacks, including AI-powered domain generation algorithms (DGAs), which 86% of respondents cite as a threat. To thoroughly understand the CISO perspective on today’s cybersecurity landscape, CSC surveyed 300 senior executives—including CISOs, chief technology officers (CTOs), chief information officers (CIOs), and heads of cybersecurity—in Q1 2026. Key findings from the CISO Outlook 2026 report include: Respondents ranked the top three threats i
Airship Helps DIE ZEIT Turn Silent Advocates into 4.9-Star Rating16.6.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Airship, the mobile-first customer experience company, today announced that DIE ZEIT, one of Germany’s largest and most prestigious publishers, has successfully transformed its mobile app presence, lifting the Google Play app store rating from 2.7 stars in early 2026 to a near-perfect 4.9 stars. At a time when many traditional publishers are seeing readership numbers plummet, DIE ZEIT is growing — reaching an all-time high circulation in 2025 and building a digital ecosystem around the brand. The majority of the publication’s readers are now digital, but the publication’s app store rating for DIE ZEIT didn’t match this momentum. DIE ZEIT was up against a universal challenge faced by digital product teams and customer experience executives globally: the "silent advocate" problem. While highly satisfied customers rarely pause their reading experience to leave public reviews, users facing temporary, one-off frustrations are highly motivated to voice complaints. This discrepancy often lead
Clearlake Capital Closes on $14.8 Billion to Capitalize on AI-Driven Transformation and Continue Sector-Focused Investment Strategy16.6.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. (“Clearlake” or the “Firm”), a global investment firm managing integrated platforms spanning private equity, liquid and private credit, and other related strategies, today announced the successful close of its eighth flagship fund, Clearlake Capital Partners VIII (“Fund VIII”), alongside related co-investment vehicles and separately managed accounts. Together, these vehicles represent $14.8 billion of capital commitments and position Clearlake to continue investing behind the secular trends reshaping industries, including artificial intelligence, software modernization, digital transformation, and operational efficiency. The successful fundraise comes amid a highly competitive and selective fundraising environment for private markets and underscores continued investor confidence in Clearlake's differentiated sector-focused strategy, integrated investment platform, and proven ability to create value across market cycles. The close was supported by a diverse
TestMu AI Introduces DevTools Assertions in Kane CLI, Enabling Browser-Level Validation Through Natural Language16.6.2026 15:30:00 EEST | Press release
TestMu AI (formerly LambdaTest), the world's first Agentic AI-powered Quality Engineering platform, today announced DevTools Assertions for Kane CLI, enabling developers and AI agents to validate browser internals using natural language. Traditional browser automation focuses on what users can see: buttons, forms, text, and visual states. However, modern web applications depend heavily on browser activity that remains invisible to users, including network requests, API responses, console logs, cookies, local storage, and performance metrics. With DevTools Assertions, Kane CLI extends browser validation beyond the UI, allowing teams to verify these underlying signals using plain-English objectives. Developers can now write objectives such as: "Click Add to Cart and assert the request to /api/cart returned status 200." "Run the checkout flow and assert the console has no errors." "Log in and store the session cookie value." "Assert localStorage contains the selected product ID." "Open th
