Witnessing Foundry 2.0 in Action

One of the ways I learn about advanced packaging technology and what it entails is by visiting our community member companies. There’s nothing like talking to the experts face-to-face and walking through a cleanroom or advanced packaging applications lab to drive home a concept. For the past year, I’ve been...

IFTLE 439: imec’s Flip Chip on FOWLP… a Closer Look

3D InCites presented the 2019 process of the year award to Eric Beyne and Arnita Podpod of IMEC for their flip-chip on fan-out wafer-level package (FC on FOWLP) process that avoids the use of TSVs in active chips to achieve high-density packaging. Advanced packaging practitioners may have noticed the similarities...

Products on Parade in the Exhibits at IWLPC 2019

We hit the exhibits at IWLPC 2019 with a vengeance this year. Our mission was twofold – to find out the latest supplier offerings to support technology trends, and to spread the word about our new community membership opportunities on 3D InCites. But I’ll get to that part in a...

 IFTLE 424: Fingerprint Sensors Are Going Ultrasonic 

IIFTLE is always on the lookout for technologies that will require advanced packaging solutions. Fingerprint sensors for today’s latest smartphones appear to be one of those applications. Packaging for Fingerprint Sensors DIGITIMes recently reported that  the manufacture of under-display optical fingerprint sensors for use in 5G-enabled phones will require extensive...

IEDM 2017 Looks Way Beyond Moore’s Law

The International Electronic Device Manufacturing Conference (IEDM) has always focused on device scaling, successfully guiding our industry for several decades along the challenging paths of Moore’s Law and the ITRS Roadmap. Both were primarily focused on digital functions. However, we all must agree that the real world around us is analog....

New Design Flow and OSAT Alliance Program Jump-Start High-density Advanced Packaging

Editor’s note: For several years now, Mentor Graphics has evangelized about the critical need for assembly design kits to enable commercialization of high-density advanced packaging technologies, such as fine line and space fan-out, 2.5D and 3D IC packages. With this week’s introduction of a unique, end-to-end, high-density advanced packaging (HDAP) design...

‘Tis the Season for the 3D ASIP Multi-Die IC Design Tutorial

While the shopping malls and specialty stores in and around San Francisco were packed with people hunting for Holiday presents, a very dedicated crowd of 3D IC developers and users from all over the world got together near San Francisco, for the 12th 3D ASIP conference, which featured, once again,...

Business Opportunities in Advanced Packaging Drive Photolithography Equipment Demand

Within the photolithography equipment market reaching US$ 150M 2014 (Source: Photolithography Equipment & Materials for Advanced Packaging, MEMS and LED Applications report, June 2015), advanced packaging applications have the strongest growth. Yole Développement (Yole) estimates that more than 40 systems have been installed in 2014, with a compound annual growth...

Advanced Packaging Challenges and Opportunities for 2015

Our industry is seeing greater diversification in manufacturing processes than it has since its earliest days. In the front-end numerous new materials, architectures, and processes are under development to enable the continuing march toward smaller device sizes. In the back-end, and many places in between, advanced packaging processes and 3D...
