Congratulations to the Winners of the 2022 3D InCites Awards!

It is my honor to announce the winners of the 2022 3D InCites Awards. With 51 nominees in 11 categories, we had more participation than ever, and the competition was fierce! Thank you to this year’s platinum sponsors, ASE Group, EV Group and KLA; our gold sponsors, Evatec and YES, and...

Has Google Discovered the Advantages of Advanced IC Packaging Technologies?

At the latest MEPTEC Luncheon, held February 5, 2020, and hosted by SEMI at its Milpitas HQ, Google’s Dr. Preeti S. Chauhan, Technical Program Manager for Data Center Quality, presented her perspectives on the benefits and challenges of advanced IC packaging technologies. Considering that Alphabet, Google’s parent company, controls about...

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...

Polymeric Materials: Massive Adoption by the Advanced Packaging Industry

According to the market research and strategy consulting company, Yole Développement (Yole), the polymeric materials market revenue will double over the next five years. Driven by movements towards further miniaturization and higher functionalities, megatrend applications like artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, and augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR) are creating huge business opportunities. Therefore,...

Hello, Microelectronics and Packaging? Your Opportunities are Calling

There’s no doubt about it. This is a good time to be in the microelectronics and packaging sector of the semiconductor industry. With exciting markets like artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, and the internet of things  (IoT) technologies moving from ideas to implementation, this previously tired segment of the semiconductor industry...

The Great 3D Supply Chain Debate: The Handoff

The supply chain business model for manufacturing 3D stacked ICS has caused perhaps one of the hottest debates so far in commercializing 3D semiconductor processes.  It’s easy to see why. Beyond the rather obvious question of who will own the liability of damaged devices, there’s a good deal of revenue...

SUSS MicroTec workshop zeroes in on wafer thinning and handling issues

Last year, it was all about through silicon vias (TSVs), this year, it’s all about everything else needed to achieve 3D IC stacks using TSVs. I’m talking about 3D IC technology discussions at this year’s SEMICON West. A clear example of this was SUSS MicroTec’s workshop on wafer thinning...
