When Plasma Matters: Three Reasons to Choose Plasma

Every metal layer on a wafer, from M1 at the front end to redistribution for wafer-level packaging (WLP), requires patterning. Selective material removal, including etching oxides and metals, often becomes the critical path. It is essential to thoroughly strip photoresist and minimize contamination to achieve the desired yield. Plasma etching...

Lam Research Acquires SEMSYSCO to Advance Chip Packaging 

Company broadens portfolio to include next-generation substrates and panel-level processes for heterogeneous semiconductor solutions   FREMONT, Calif., Nov. 15, 2022 – Lam Research Corp. (Nasdaq: LRCX) today announced that it has completed the acquisition of SEMSYSCO GmbH, a global provider of wet processing semiconductor equipment from Gruenwald Equity and other investors. With the...

Wafer-Level Packaging Is Well-Positioned for Growth

Wafer-level packaging (WLP) saw significant growth in 2021 due in large part to the increased performance needs of data-driven 5G network devices. Because WLP is performed when chips are still on the wafer, ACM Research has been able to leverage and adapt our expertise in front-end solutions to address high-volume...

EV Group Addresses Key Process Gap in Heterogeneous Integration with Collective Die-to-Wafer Hybrid and Fusion Bonding Demonstration

EV Group (EVG), a leading supplier of wafer bonding and lithography equipment for the MEMS, nanotechnology and semiconductor markets, today announced that it has successfully demonstrated a complete process flow for collective die-to-wafer (D2W) hybrid and fusion bonding with sub-two-micron placement accuracy utilizing existing EVG wafer bonding technology and processes,...

SUSS MicroTec Launches XB8 – a New Semi-Automated High-Force Wafer Bonder

Garching, September 17, 2015 – SUSS MicroTec, a global supplier of equipment and applications for the semiconductor industry and related markets, has launched the new bonding platform XB8 today. The XB8 wafer bonder is designed for a wide range of bonding processes. It supports substrates with a wafer size of...

Taking 3D Integration to the Next Level

There is no rest for the weary. Just because we can finally declare that 3D ICs are in production doesn’t mean we’re done working on it. To the contrary, efforts are ongoing at research institutes like imec in Belgium and Leti in France to take 3D integration to the next...

Lithography Process Innovations for 2.5/3D Part 1: Alleviating TSV Stress

As traditional semiconductor scaling becomes increasingly complex and cost-prohibitive, transitioning from planar chip packaging architectures to 2.5D/3D stacked die package architectures has become key to enable the integration of greater amounts of chip functionality in smaller form factors. This need for form factor reduction, together with smaller process geometries and...

STATS ChipPAC Expands TSV with Mid-End Processing

STATS ChipPAC Ltd, and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) provider, announced it is expanding its 300mm through silicon via (TSV) offering with the addition of mid-end manufacturing capabilities. STATS ChipPAC was one of the first OSATS to invest in TSV technology with a 51,000 square foot research and development...

EV Group: “Triple I” at Work

It’s a good story that’s been 30 years in the making. From its founding by Erich and Aya Maria Thallner in 1980 and subsequent launch of the world’s first double-sided mask aligner for the emerging MEMS market five years later; to its most recent industry-first launch of a fully-automated wafer...
