Driving Into the Future: The Next Phase in Automotive Compute Package Adoption

Automotive compute processors are rapidly adopting advanced process nodes. NXP announced the development of 5nm automotive processors in 2020 [1], Mobileye announced EyeQ Ultra using 5nm technology during CES 2022 [2], and TSMC announced its “Auto Early” 3nm processes in 2023 [3]. In the past, the automotive industry was slow...

A Look at the Next Generation of Packaging Inspection Solutions

With the increasing expectations and demands of customers of electronic equipment, the manufacturing technologies applied are also propelled due to rising requirements. Powerful wearables, the Internet of Things (IoT), mobile communication devices, and new huge data storage subsystems push the semiconductor industry and the electronics designers to new heights, and...

Heterogeneous IC Packaging: Building an Infrastructure

Heterogeneous IC packaging is here. It is already in production, and increasingly more customers are developing and qualifying their products at Amkor and in other outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) suppliers and foundry providers. The rationale for this surge into new multi-die embodiments has been well documented and discussed....

Why An Internship in Fan-out Technology Was My Dream Come True

I joined ERS electronic GmbH for an internship in fan-out technology from October 2020 to June 2021 as a mandatory part of my Master’s degree in Mobile and Embedded Systems at the University of Passau. My internship at ERS gave me great exposure to the inner workings of the semiconductor...

Process Control and Inspection for High-Value Advanced Packages: It’s Complicated

In September of 2018, I spoke with KLA’s Stephen Hiebert and Pieter Vandewalle about the changing advanced packaging landscape, and the need for better process control that inspired the company’s foray into the advanced packaging space. With the introduction of its IC packaging portfolio that comprised the Kronos™ 1080 and...

IFTLE 456: SPIL Fan-out Embedded Bridge (FOEB) Technology

in this week’s post, we continue our look at the 2020 IEEE ECTC virtual conference. Siliconware’s presentation “Scalable Chiplet Package Using Fan-out Embedded Bridge (FOEB)” focused on the advantages of its FOEB package for the server, high-performance computing, router, and switcher markets.  The difference between today’s 2.5D and FOEB is...

Weathering the Storm and Positioning the Semiconductor Industry for Growth

2019 has been a sobering year for the semiconductor industry. It started out with such high hopes, coming off of a banner year in 2018, during which we hit some significant milestones. Now we find ourselves in the midst of the worst downturn since 2008, minus the global financial crisis,...

And few results are already available. Indeed System Plus Consulting’s experts propose you to discover a previous of the first conclusions. Featured in the latest...

3D Readiness Report Card

3D ASIP 2013: Jan Vardaman’s 3D Readiness Report Card

While other presenters for the 2013 3D ASIP session, “Evolution of 3D Technologies and Market Trends” took a more conventional approach to reporting the status of 3D integration, Jan Vardaman, TechSearch International gets the prize for originality and humor for playing the role of “professor” and delivering the 3D readiness...

Hey Intel, get your own buzzword…

So there I was, listening to Eric Beyne talk about the importance of co-developing advanced CMOS and 3D ICs because one directly affects the other, when my thoughts turned to once again to FinFets (is this what he means by advanced CMOS?) I wondered whether these so-called 3D transistor structures...
