IFTLE 596: Advanced Packaging Reshaping the Chip Ecosystem

The Boston Consultant Group (BCG) recently took a look at the impact that advanced packaging is having on the microelectronics chip ecosystem.  Let’s take a look at some of the points that they make. Advanced packaging is replacing simple “scaling”, which had been the traditional way to achieve advancements in...

The Alphabet Soup of 3D Packaging

More than a few years ago, somewhere around 28nm, my working group was discussing the potential demise of “Moore’s Law”. The industry and international technology roadmap committee were struggling with hi-k metal gates, strain, FinFETs, and of course how lithography could keep shrinking. The designing and manufacturing of a system...

Die-to-Wafer Bonding Steps into the Spotlight on a Heterogeneous Integration Stage

The semiconductor industry is currently undergoing the most radical change in its history. Many new applications such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented/virtual reality, and autonomous driving require enormous computing power with processors optimized specifically for each application. At the same time, development cycles are becoming shorter, costs for new chip...

Implementing Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging (FOWLP) with an HDAP Flow

Fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) is an emerging type of high-density advanced packaging (HDAP) technology in the semiconductor industry that is rapidly gaining popularity in the market. But what exactly is FOWLP? Why do we need it? How do we take advantage of it? What limitations still need to be overcome?...

Package-on-Package Interconnects for Fan-out Wafer Level Packages

Consumer electronics designers continue to demand thinner and lighter packages while devices increase in functional complexity. The Fan-Out Wafer Level Package (FOWLP) platform has been gaining momentum with the advantages it offers in electrical performance, assembly process efficiency and low geometric profile.  Different approaches of Package-on-Package (PoP) stacking in FOWLP...

Executive Viewpoint: The New Advanced Packaging Landscape

You might recall that a few year’s back (October 2013, to be precise), 3D InCites’ regular blogger, Paul Werbaneth, had the opportunity to interview Dongkai Shangguan, then CEO of the National Center for Advanced Packaging (NCAP) in Wuxi, China, which he helped found along with nine investors. They talked about...
