IFTLE 590: The NHanced Semiconductors Roadmap

If you have been following the announcements from Bob Patti and his company, NHanced Semiconductors, it would not be surprising if you were a bit confused about how all these announcements will be coming together. I know IFTLE was, so we approached longtime friend Bob Patti and came up with...

Addressing 3D IC Assembly Challenges at IMAPS DPC 2015

While we wait in the 3D IC holding pattern for products to go into high volume, processes continue to be tweaked and optimized to address the remaining 3D IC assembly challenges. At IMAPS DPC 2015, a number of presentations focused on some of these incremental advancements. Here, we checked in with...

Addressing 3D Integration Challenges: Designing Materials for a Complex Landscape

3D integration has created a complex landscape of many different package architectures and integration approaches that have diverse materials needs and uncertain insertion timing. The multitude of processes required do not fit neatly into the established pigeonholes of front-end and back-end. Processes such as through silicon via (TSV) fabrication require...

Lithography Challenges for 2.5D Interposer Manufacturing

In recent years, 2.5D packaging has quickly gained acceptance as an advanced packaging process, and the first products using this technology are now coming to market.¹ Most estimates project growth for 2.5D interposer packaging faster than the industry as a whole. Similar to the multi-chip modules (MCMs) of the past,...

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...
