For many years, Professor Ching-Ping Wong has split his time between China and the United States advancing the electronic packaging technologies in China. His efforts in research and higher education have contributed greatly to the academic and industrial development and international collaboration of China.

He strives to nurture talents for the country and assists in establishing international collaboration with the Packaging Research Centre in the United States. For the purpose of building a team of electronic packaging talents for the country, he proactively provides training and mentorship to Chinese students studying overseas and arranging for young teachers and corporate engineers to visit and learn at the Packaging Research Centre in Georgia Institute of Technology.

During his tenure as Dean of Engineering at CUHK, he was active in rolling out reforms and initiatives in nurturing high-calibre researchers. While serving at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he was leading the Advanced Electronic Packaging Materials Innovation Team of Guangdong Province, which he set up himself. The aim is to improve the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors of the country’s integrated circuit industry, and to build an exemplary platform of international standard for R&D and transfer of electronic packaging materials, in order to reduce our country’s reliance on imports of high-end electronic materials and high-performing devices.

Professor Wong was one of the firsts to develop plastic packaging technologies. His innovative research on the use of silicone resin in the encapsulation of gated diode crosspoint (GDX) switch devices proves to be as effective as using polymeric materials for the encapsulation, and significantly improves packaging reliability. This new technology, having overcome heavy weight, technical complexity and high cost issues in traditional ceramic packaging, has been widely embraced by companies such as Intel and IBM and has thus far accounted for 95% of the packaging technologies in the global IC packaging market. He has also resolved a long-standing difficulty in electronic packaging, which is the unstable resistance at the interface between the conductive adhesive and the device. The technology is used in conductive adhesive products from Henkel and other companies. Professor Wong was the first in the industry to develop a solvent-free, high Tg no-flow underfill, which simplifies the flip chip packaging process and improves device quality and reliability. Such material has long been adopted by Hitachi and other companies.

Relationship with and contributions to Macao:
During his tenure as Dean of Engineering at CUHK, Professor Wong received funding from Dr. Stanley Ho Medical Development Foundation to establish the Stanley Ho Big Data Decision Analytics Research Centre in 2013. In March 2015, the centre introduced four top computer engineering and education professors from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States to conduct academic visits and exchanges at the University of Macau and other educational institutes in Macao. The group also hosted a cooperation seminar at the then Macao’s Tertiary Education Services Office, with the aim of introducing latest research technologies in online education and big data into the Macao education system to benefit Macao students directly and enhance their learning efficiency.

In 2017, the Stanley Ho Big Data Decision Analytics Research Centre introduced an electronic communication book that it had developed to the Macao community, promoting it to organisations such as the Macau Alzheimer’s Disease Association through the Dr. Stanley Ho Medical Development Foundation. The E-Commu-Book is designed to aid patients with communication difficulties to communicate with others. It is a cloud-based, expandable and alternative communication tool, and has received positive feedback from elderly caregivers in Macao.

Professor Wong also commissioned as requested CUHK’s Faculty of Engineering to conduct feasibility studies on Macao. Such studies include The Needs and the Values of Establishing Medical Education in Macau and The Economic Benefits of Data Center for Macau, both prepared by CUHK’s Department of Systems Engineering and Engineering Management in 2013.
