Heterogenous Integration at ISS: A Key Part of High-Performance Compute

Heterogenous integration and AI are currently moving forward hand-in-hand as the demand for greater computing power in theory, reduces the energy and time needed to train models; (although, DeepSeek may now change some of the thinking along these lines). Larger more complex packages are being built to manage the learning...

SEMICON West 2016: Update from the Semiconductor Suppliers

Every year at SEMICON West, in addition to taking in keynotes and technology sessions, I like to catch up with semiconductor suppliers to find out about any significant news, their latest offerings and how they are enabling next-generation manufacturing. Here are this year’s highlights. UnitySC One of the big stories...

Semiconductor Supplier Updates from SEMICON West 2015

No SEMICON West would be complete without a few laps around Moscone North and South, and some one-on-one chats with suppliers. I stopped in to see several semiconductor supplier companies who annually request an audience with the Queen of 3D to talk about their latest accomplishments, as well as gain...

SEMICON West 2014: Are 3D ICs Getting the Squeeze?

With the continued innovations in packaging technologies and 2.5D interposers pushing 3D ICs further out from one end, and 16/14nm nodes already qualified without TSVs, making us wait until 10nm, are 3D ICs suddenly getting the squeeze from both sides? That’s one theory I took away from all the conversations...

How will the 450mm Transition Affect Advanced Packaging and 3D ICs?

That was my kick-off question for Manish Ranjan, Vice President, Product Marketing, Advanced Packaging/Nanotechnology Segment at Ultratech, during our annual SEMICON West Thursday wrap-up discussion. It’s never been planned that way, but I always seem to interview Ranjan at the tail-end of SEMICON West, and subsequently end up bouncing a...

Moments to cheer and just a few growing pains

If you had been a fly on the wall in my office last week, you would have seen more than one performance of my happy dance. After all, watching an idea come to life is nothing short of intoxicating. Little by little, 3D InCites is evolving into what we initially...

Talking 3D with Manish Ranjan

I’ll never forget the first time I interviewed Manish Ranjan of Ultratech. It was during my first SEMICON West experience in 2006. I was still wet behind the ears, faking my way through most interviews. The easiest ones were with the companies who just wanted to talk about their latest...

Back by Popular Demand

Once again, I can’t let my follow-up coverage of SEMICON West go by without reporting on my annual briefing with Manish Ranjan, of Ultratech. This year I even got a gift! It was little rubber-like replica of the company’s latest lithography tool that encased a 4G flash drive.  (Those little...

Manish’s Market Moment

For me, SEMICON West is never complete until I’ve had my sit-down with Manish Ranjan of Ultratech. He follows the market, and somehow puts it all into perspective for me, often supporting my own intuition with hard data. Plus he’s a wealth of historical...
