European 3D TSV Summit Interview: Gilles Fresquet

Fogale Nanotech has been on my radar with its 3D TSV metrology solutions ever since I noticed their booth last summer at SEMICON West. Sometimes it takes an occasion such as a pre-arranged interview at the European 3D TSV Summit for a connection to finally take place. I was happy...

An Incomplete List of 3D Solutions

We read a lot about the remaining challenges to be addressed before 3D ICs are fully commercialized. Current roadmaps are now targeting 2015 for commercialization of 3D ICs, while 2.5D gets the ball rolling towards the end of 2012, beginning of 2013. Reports from Xilinx indicate they are shipping 2.5D...

A Visit to Nexx Systems

It’s easy to see why NEXX is experiencing growth. It’s all about attitude, and the enthusiasm among NEXX’s team is contagious. I spent yesterday afternoon (Thursday, March 5) visiting the company’s new headquarters in Billerica, MA, meeting with the executive team, and touring the manufacturing facility. The team had...
