IMAPS DPC 3D InCites Awards

IMAPS DPC 2024 Makes Advanced Packaging Fun Again!

At last week’s International Microelectronics and Packaging Society’s Device Packaging Conference, (IMAPS DPC 2024) we didn’t need TrendForce to tell us that advanced packaging is the hottest technology in the semiconductor industry. We just needed to look at the record attendance of more than 700 advanced packaging enthusiasts who turned...

IFTLE 397: Malicious Embedded Chips? And TSMC Rides the Leading Edge

Malicious Embedded Chips in our Mother Boards? Early October brought a report from Bloomberg that I have heard was the top tech story circulating at the DoD and DARPA. For years, articles about counterfeit chips, and our reliance on Asian-made chips – where they could be modified in ways to pass...

The 14th ASIP Addresses a Spectrum of Advanced Packaging Opportunities, Part 2

Part 1 of my 3D ASIP blog covered the five keynotes presented at 3D ASIP 2017. Part 2 focuses on more than 20 informative presentations, where focused experts gave an in-depth view of new and/or improved technologies for 3DIC-related advanced packaging. Before we address these, allow me a one-sentence recap...

SEMICON West 2017: The Semiconductor Industry at a Young 50

The semiconductor industry is acting quite young for its age. And that’s just not me saying it; over and over again during SEMICON West 2017 I heard some variation of the phrase “We’re just getting started.” What was it that accounted for the upbeat and buoyant mood at SEMICON West...

Tech Session Highlights from ECTC 2017

Françoise promised in her recent blog that my ECTC blog would follow shortly. Finally, after attending DAC in Austin as well as the iMAPS’ SiP Conference in California’s Wine Country and shortly before attending Semicon West in San Francisco, I found some time to report what I saw and learned...

Wafer-to-Wafer Bonding Cost Analysis

Last year, I did an analysis that included the topic of wafer-to-wafer bonding. Specifically, it was a comparison of the three variations available when stacking wafers and/or die—wafer-to-wafer (W2W), die-to-wafer (D2W), and die-to-die (D2D). The goal of that project was to build cost models for W2W and D2W (with the...
