IFTLE 434: Process Optimization for a Reliable NXP FOWLP Microcontroller

There are several different fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) technologies that are currently in high-volume production. The traditional fan-out (FO) technology as initially developed by Motorola and Infineon was a face down, die-first technology that has been in volume production for low-end baseband, PMIC, Codec, Wi-Fi, RF kind of applications since...

3D Test: No Longer a Bottleneck!

When I joined imec in October 2008 to work on test and design- for- test (DfT) of 3D-stacked integrated circuits (ICs), there were only a few test folks active in that emerging field. Consequently, misconceptions about 3D test were omnipresent. In the November 18, 2008 issue of Semiconductor International, Alexander...
