CoolCube™: More than a True 3D VLSI Alternative to Scaling

Almost four years ago, we published an article titled “CoolCube™: A True 3DVLSI Alternative to Scaling” on 3D InCites. It described the concept of stacking layers of transistors sequentially on top of each other and documented the research effort happening at Leti to develop a feasible process integration scheme and...

How Do We Create Smart Cities Without Exploiting Personal Data?

Creating smart cities while also protecting the personal data of its citizens is no easy task these days, particularly with growing public awareness and concern about how their data is being used and shared. It’s become a challenge particularly in Europe, where urban designs lend themselves well to smart city...

3D InCites Guide to SEMICON WEST 2016

In past years, we have provided 3D InCites readers with a guide for navigating through the myriad programs that specifically address 3D integration and packaging at SEMICON West. This year, as SEMI has discovered, everything has changed; and thus they themed SEMICON West 2016, “Definitely NOT business a usual.” As...

The Advanced Packaging Industry Reaches its Zenith

To overcome the current market and technology constraints taking place today within the semiconductor industry, new advanced packaging technologies have been developed by industrial companies. Leaders in the advanced packaging industry have identified new solutions enabling more and more functionalities to be integrated along with many devices in the same...

Executive Viewpoint: Update on Cleans

Last time I checked in with Kim Pollard, Technology Manager, Dynaloy, was a few years ago, when we talked about the importance of cleans for 3D ICs. Dynaloy, a subsidiary of Eastman Chemical Company, develops and creates chemistries specifically for the removal of photoresist, etch residues and other polymers. At...

ECTC 2015: Advanced Packaging Sets Sail in San Diego

The 65th annual Electronics Technology Components Conference (ECTC 2015) logged record numbers (over 1500 attendees, 20% increase over last year) as the entire semiconductor industry recognizes (finally) that there is indeed money to be made in the advanced packaging sector. The flip chip and wafer level packaging sessions were full to...

What’s In Store for Attendees at ECTC 2015

ECTC 2015 returns to my favorite of its three rotating locations at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina almost exactly one month from now, May 26-29, 2015. This year, the ECTC technical committee has selected 350 papers on topics related to 3D and TSV technologies, wafer level packaging, electrical and...
