Xperi Sets Out to Enable Immersive Experiences

Xperi is a new entity with a complicated back-story, but a pretty cool vision for its future. First, there was Tessera, well-known throughout the advanced packaging sector of the semiconductor industry as an IP-based technology company focused on chip packaging and interconnects that historically licensed its technology know-how and patents....

Heterogeneous Integration Versus Dimensional Scaling; One Year In (Part 2)

In the first part of this series, I covered the perspectives of dimensional scaling vs. heterogeneous integration based on discussions during SEMICON West 2017. For part two, I spoke with equipment and material suppliers who serve either (or in some cases, both) the front- and back-ends of the semiconductor manufacturing...

Impressions from ECTC 2017

Let’s start with the indoor rainstorm. I arrived at the Swan and Dolphin in Orlando just in time for the fan-out plenary session of ECTC 2017, so tossed my stuff in my room and headed on in (wearing jeans, no less!) You can read about that here. Afterward, I had...

Discussing Panel Scale Packaging at SEMI’s Northeast Forum

SEMI did a great job at SEMICON West 2016 organizing a bursting-at-the-seams amount of technical content presented on the show floor, content that included (pleasant surprise) a full track devoted to advanced packaging topics. Definitely not business as usual. The distinction between where fab processes end and where packaging processes...

Supplier Updates from ECTC 2016

In addition to attending the panel and plenary sessions at ECTC 2016, which took place May 31-June 3, 2016, I also spent a good deal of time talking to industry suppliers to get updates on their latest accomplishments that will impact the future of advanced semiconductor packaging, including interposer integration...

ECTC 2016: Memory Technology Advances and Prospects for Packaging

At ECTC 2016, which took place at the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas, Las Vegas, May 31-June 1, 2016, the special session entitled, Memory Technology Advances and Prospects for Packaging may have been one of the “most important starts to ECTC ever.” At least that was TechSearch’s, Jan Vardaman’s impression, and I can’t disagree,...
