IFTLE 583: DoD funding for U.S. Based Substrate Manufacturing

IFTLE has spent significant time discussing the lack of U.S.-based substrate manufacturing. Although packages such as the ball-grid array (BGA) were invented by U.S. companies like Motorola, production capacity was all off-shored to Asia years ago. Having competent U.S. production capacity has always been part of the US reshoring program....

IFTLE 535: The Resurgence of U.S. Semiconductor Fabs

Leading-edge semiconductor fabs haven’t been built in the U.S. for a while but that’s about to change. Let’s look at how and where those changes will take place. It is certainly worth reviewing such information because these fabs will be driving the matching advanced packaging that will also be installed...

IFTLE 510: DNP Glass Interposer; Samsung/Amkor team for H-Cube

JISSO JOINT consortium In late 2019 Showa Denko bought Hitachi Chemical (HC) for about $8.9B. HC had an operating income of about $440 million on sales of $6.3B with about 40% of its sales from materials, including chemical mechanical planarization slurries, epoxy compounds, and anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The...

IFTLE 455: Advanced Microelectronics is Coming Home

In IFTLE 441, (published in February before we were paying attention to the pandemic and the devastation to the world economy that it has brought) we discussed the desire of the US Government to have on-shore, state-of-the-art (SOTA) microelectronics sources. Recently amid pressure from the US, TSMC announced preliminary plans to...

IFTLE 413: Beware of Technology Hype for the Automotive Market

As packaging practitioners/experts themselves, regular readers know that IFTLE is always on the lookout for the latest applications and the latest chips going into those applications because all those chips will have to be packaged. However, IFTLE has previously warned the reader to beware of technology hype, which appears to...

Glass Substrates for Advanced Packaging

Glass has many properties that make it an ideal substrate for interposers such as: ultra-high resistivity and low electrical loss, low dielectric constant, and adjustable coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). Leveraging glass-forming processes such as Corning’s fusion forming process provides roughness < 0.5nm rms, and flat substrates with good stiffness....
