Plasma Dicing Enables Challenging Applications Including D2W Hybrid Bonding

Plasma dicing offers an optimized approach to die singulation as chips get smaller, thinner, and more complex. As semiconductor content proliferates across networks and devices, there’s a growing demand for increased semiconductor functionality packed into smaller, thinner, and stronger packages. Heterogenous integration is essential to this effort and die-to-wafer (D2W)...

How MTP Technology Improves 3D Heterogeneous Integration

High-performance computing, communications, mobile, automotive, industrial, medical, and defense systems increasingly require 3D heterogeneous integration of many diverse components to improve their performance and functionality. These diverse components include high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs), power transistors, gate drivers, photonics, sensors, hardware assurance devices, capacitors, inductors, filters,...

IFTLE 457: Hybrid Bonding Comes of Age

I first started covering Ziptronix and its hybrid bonding technology back in 2007 when I was writing Perspectives from the Leading Edge (PFTLE) for Semiconductor International (SI). I’d give you the references, but SI went belly up in 2010 and I learned my first lesson about the NON-archival nature of...

Developing 3D Systems with Ultrafine and Dense Interconnections

For the past 2 to 3 years, 3D integration technology has developed into a technically and economically interesting road for further improving the performance of systems. In comparison to conventional planar 2D systems, we are now able to fabricate shorter and faster connections between circuits. And we can make these connections...

Market Outlook for Permanent Wafer Bonding

Permanent wafer bonding can be categorized based on bonding with or without an intermediate layer. Intermediate layers can be subcategorized into insulating layers including glass frit bonding, adhesive bonding, or metallic bonding including Cu-Cu/oxide “hybrid” bonding, solder bonding, and thermo-compression copper-copper bonding as shown in Figure 1. MEMS devices are...

Triple I Prevails at EV Group

Invent, Innovate, Implement continues to be the mantra at EV Group, supplier of wafer bonding and lithography equipment for the MEMS, nanotechnology and semiconductor markets. In visits I’ve made to EVG’s Schaerding, Austria world headquarters over the years, it’s clear that this Triple I approach is working for the company, which...

More Tech Notes from 3D ASIP 2012

Oh yes, where was I before the holidays took over and hijacked my life for two weeks?  I’ll bet you thought I was done reporting on 3D ASIP, but wait – there’s more! Point/Counterpoint on Thin Wafer Handling I already reported on Wilfried Bair’s (Suss MicroTec’s perspective on temporary/ debond...
