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....

QP Technologies New TQFP and MQFP Offerings Increase Packaging Options for Mil-Aero, Automotive and Other Key Markets

ESCONDIDO, Calif. – March 16, 2023 – QP Technologies™, a leading provider of innovative microelectronic packaging and assembly solutions, today announced it has extended its broad plastic package assembly portfolio with two new offerings: a 64-pin thin quad flat pack (TQFP) and a 52-pin metric quad flat pack (MQFP) plastic encapsulated package. These options are...

IFTLE 550: Government Agencies Supporting Advanced Packaging

IPC Expo – Defense Electronics Supplier Roundtable The 16th Defense Electronics Supplier Roundtable at the recent IPC APEX EXPO in San Diego (Jan 2023) contained some interesting presentations that serve to add to our recent examination of the many government agencies currently looking to support Advanced Packaging. Craig Herndon, DoD...

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 441: Will TSMC Ever Put a Chip or Packaging Facility in the USA?

While we are all conjuring visions of what advanced packaging and in fact transistors themselves will look like in the coming decades, political maneuvering is occurring that just might have an equal impact in reshaping our industry in the future. No need to rehash to the story of how chip...

Rudolph JetStep Lithography System Gains Traction for Advanced Packaging Applications

Flanders, New Jersey (March 10, 2015)—Rudolph Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: RTEC) announced today that a major outsourced assembly and test (OSAT) manufacturer has selected the JetStep® Advanced Packaging Lithography System for evaluation. The tool, which ships this week, will be used to develop copper (Cu) pillar bumping and through silicon via...

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....
