DAC 2020 Addresses Chiplet Design and Integration

In the early days of ASIC technology, only logic library elements and basic I/Os with up to 10s of transistors were available for customizing gate arrays and/or logic functions in standard cell chips. And then, “megacells” (a.k.a. Functional Blocks, Semiconductor IP Blocks), comprised of 100s, even 1000s, and more transistors...

5G, AI, and Server Markets Provide Growth, Despite Pandemic

Despite the economic downturn caused by the fight against the Covid-19 virus pandemic, there are some potential growth areas this year. Growth in advanced packaging continues for datacenter servers, AI accelerators, and the 5G infrastructure. The shelter-in-place requirements have driven out-of-season demand for game consoles, commercial and educational laptops and...

Social Distancing Spotlight: NAMICS

Brian Schmalz, NAMICS, Talks About the Future of Electronics Materials Since we launched the program in January, the 3D InCites Community has already grown to 29 members. I visited with a few of them in person at IMAPS DPC to learn more about them, get updates on their activities in...

Emerging Market for Low-Density Panel FO Analyzed

Large area fan-out (FO) remains a hot topic in the industry. There is some confusion over the term “panel” because IC package substrates are processed in panels. The main driver for large area FO panel development is cost reduction because more parts can be processed in a batch.   TechSearch International’s...

Moving Beyond the Merger and Onto Innovation

You may have noticed a newcomer to the 3D InCites community. But Onto Innovation is not a new company. It is the result of the 2019 merging of equals of two successful process control solutions providers who wanted to expand to serve the semiconductor manufacturing supply chain from end to...

How 5G is Enabling a Connected World

It’s official. The world is becoming more data-driven by the second and everything – I mean EVERYTHING – hinges on the success of 5G. 5G will make smart factories more efficient; bring medical care to remote places; make the autonomous vehicle infrastructure possible so you stop rear-ending the person in...

High-Performance IC Substrate Manufacturing Reaches an Inflection Point

Driven by advanced packaging substrate needs, the industry has reached an inflection point in IC substrate manufacturing. Increasing I/O counts are driving substrate layer counts to more than 20. Larger die sizes and multiple die mounted on the substrate are driving the need for larger body sizes, up to 100...

SiP Technology To Enable Technology Megatrends

Two years ago, IMAPS tested the waters for a new conference focused entirely on system-in-packaging (SiP) technologies. They had also recently acquired the 3D Architectures for Semiconductor Integration and Packaging Conference (3DASIP), originally produced by RTI Tech Venture Forum, which took place annually in December in San Francisco. The IMAPS...
