The Future of Image Sensors is Chip Stacking

CMOS image sensors (CIS) have often been heralded as the first 3D devices in volume manufacturing. However, this is not really the case. Shellcase MVP, the first generation of CIS that used through silicon vias (TSVs) to form interconnects was still a 2D device. (Remember, TSV is not always synonymous with 3D)....

Is the Road to 3D ICs Paved with 3D SOC?

Ladies and Gentlemen of the semiconductor industry, we have a new acronym to add to 3D integration lexicon and its name is 3D SoC (aka: 3D system on a chip, or 3D system partitioning, or mixed node integration – take your pick). Whatever the moniker, it looks like THIS is...
