Update on the UCIe™ from ITC 2022

In 1965 Gordon Moore proclaimed that there would be a “’Day of Reckoning’ when it may prove to be more economical to build large systems out of smaller functions…”.  The 2022 IEEE International Test Conference, held live and in-person for the first time since the pandemic, addressed the implications of...

Siemens Automates 2.5D and 3D IC Design-for-test with New Tessent Multi Die Solution

Siemens’ Tessent Multi-die software helps customers dramatically speed and simplify critical design-for-test (DFT) tasks for next-generation integrated circuits (ICs) based on 2.5D and 3D architectures. Global leader in design-for-test (DFT) technology paves the way for mainstream adoption of 3D ICs Innovative solution dramatically streamlines DFT cycles for highly complex multi-die...

Talking about Technology Megatrends at SEMICON West 2019

What a difference a year makes. First the aesthetic: after two years of maneuvering around a construction zone at SEMICON West, the Moscone Center renovation is complete and looks fabulous. It’s also so much easier to navigate between halls, and to and from the keynote stage at the newly christened...

Tech Round-up from ECTC 2018

For the past few years, the ECTC committee has provided 3D InCites with a table outside the session rooms, rather than the technology corner, as part of our media trade. We consider it to be prime real estate, as pretty much everyone passes by the table at one time or...

And a Good Time was had by All – 3D InCites Awards Breakfast, 2013

Despite the chilly San Francisco morning temperatures, a sizable crowd of 2.5D and 3D enthusiasts gathered at the Impress Lounge to witness the inaugural 3D InCites Awards Breakfast, held July 11, 2013 during SEMICON West. For me, it was especially significant as it marked four years since I first launched...

2013 SUSS MicroTec Technology Forum Focuses on 3D TSV infrastructure

SUSS, being an equipment maker addressing various manufacturing challenges faced by 3D IC enablement, definitely has a lot riding on ensuring that all pieces of the 3D IC puzzle are in place. This was evident from the range of presenters they had lined up during this year’s Technology Forum, held...

3D IC Business Model: A Customer Decision

After more than a year of touting the turnkey model, even TSMC is jumping on board the collaboration bandwagon for manufacturing 2.5D and 3D ICs at high volume. This revelation came this week at ECTC 2013 (May 28-31, Las Vegas) from TSMC’s Jerry Tzou, who was a panelist during the...

“Known Good Die” has a new name

After 20 years of chasing elusive Known Good Die (KGD) to achieve high yielding advanced interconnect technologies, the semiconductor industry has come to the conclusion that its time to take a different approach. It’s called Probably Good Die, and when it comes to 2.5D and 3D ICs, particularly for Memory,...

Update on 3D transistors (That “other” 3D)

I always hesitate to cove 3D transistors, because before they came along, I only focused on what I knew to be 3D – ie: 3D stacked packages, 2.5D interposers and 3D ICs. And that was confusing enough. But then along came Intel’s Tri-Gate technology, claiming the 3D moniker as its...
