Economics are forcing semiconductor manufacturers away from traditional 3D through silicon via (TSV) packaging integration. The future of advanced packaging continues to evolve towards chiplets and innovative new ways to combine specialized microelectronics components. This allows manufacturers to streamline the production for individual “subassemblies” that can then be configured later...
The annual IEEE Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC 2020 – Asia’s equivalent to the ECTC) took place virtually in December, instead of in Singapore as originally planned. With most of the world’s packaging being done in Asia, it is always a great source of interesting advanced packaging presentations. Let’s take...
I cannot say I enjoyed this year’s COVID 19 version of ECTC 2020, but I guess it was better than nothing. I will leave the discussion of what I would like to see improved in the software package for the organizers. Let’s first take a look at three key papers...
For 5G smartphones and other millimeter-wave (mmWave) applications, antenna integration, either through antenna-in-package (AiP) or antenna-on-package (AoP) technologies, simplifies the challenges associated with designing products that operate at these high frequencies. A variety of AiP/AoP design methodologies provide the required form, fit, and function for these applications and can include...
The 2020 3D InCites Awards program has been a bit of a nail biter for us all, as we waited for the judges’ votes to see how they aligned with the online votes. Remember: the online votes serve as one judge. So, it was possible to win the online vote...
Advanced packaging has entered its most successful era boosted by a need for better integration, the end of Moore’s law and, beyond that, the megatrends, transportation, 5G, consumer, memory & computing, artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC). The market today is dominated by large integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), such...
There’s fact, and there’s perception. The messages people carry away from conferences are not only influenced by what they hear from the speakers, but also from the conversations they have with their colleagues. This post contains a little of both. At IMAPS Device Packaging Conference in March, Yole Developpement analyst,...
In 2015, more than US$1 billion was invested in China’s advanced packaging ecosystem, announces Yole Développement (Yole) in its report Status and Prospects for the Advanced Packaging Industry. And right now, more than 100 companies are involved in assembly and packaging activities in China. Almost all key global integrated device manufacturers...
Fan-out wafer level packaging’s star is clearly on the rise as a low-cost solution for consumer mobile products, and the semiconductor industry trade news has been buzzing with unsubstantiated claims that Qualcomm is ditching through silicon vias (TSVs) for monolithic 3D ICs (M3D) in its next generation of cell phones....
I have to admit, for some time I’ve been fairly skeptical about glass interposer technology as a viable alternative to silicon interposers. It’s not that I doubted the expertise of research scientists like Rao Tummala and Venky Sundaram at Georgia Tech’s 3D Packaging Research Center (PRC), who have been evangelizing about...
