IFTLE 422: Is Advanced Packaging Production Returning to the US by SHIP?

Is advanced packaging production coming back to the USA?  The Navy (i.e. NSWC Crane) is currently seeking proposals from the industry for the development of technical and business plans to establish a secure on-shore design, assembly, and test capability. This facility should support the heterogeneous integration of state-of-the-art (SOTA) commercial...

Reliable Process Control Solutions for the Growing Power Device Market

The expected increase of the power device market, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 10% — and more particularly insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) products for automotive and other applications — is pushing the semiconductor industry to adopt specific process solutions. The maturity of IGBT market, boosted...

UnitySC Receives Multiple Orders for Wafer Thinning Inspection Systems

Grenoble, France, May 9, 2017 – UnitySC, a leader in advanced inspection and metrology solutions, today announced multiple orders from a leading integrated device manufacturer (IDM) for its modular 4See Series automated defect inspection platform. The systems were selected because they deliver optimal wafer backside surface and edge defect inspection,...

Fine Tuning Processes for TSV Reveal

Through silicon via (TSV) reveal is a critical part of the wafer-thinning step in 3D IC backside processing, where the wafer is thinned to expose the Cu “nails” that ultimately form the interconnect between die stacks. Some of the risks involved in this step include backside contamination (Cu diffusion) due...

SSEC: Innovators in Single Wafer Wet Processing Tools

49 years ago, Solid State Equipment, LLC (SSEC) opened its doors with its first piece of semiconductor equipment; a seam sealer for welding the lid on hermetic packages. Today, that tool still exists, and although it now accounts for 1% of SSEC’s revenue instead of 50%, sales have remained constant...
