Hugle Engineering Scholarship, established by TechSearch International to encourage young women to follow in Hugle’s footsteps and pursue a career in engineering.

The 3D InCites Awards recognize achievements that further the commercialization of 3D integration technologies. Awards are presented to companies whose innovative products have contributed significantly to the advancement of through silicon via (TSV) technologies and other innovative processes that enable interposer integration, 3D ICs, monolithic 3D ICs, 3D memory, and 3D heterogeneous integration. In addition to individual category awards decided by an independent panel of industry expert judges, the 2015 3D InCites Awards will also feature The Readers Choice Award, to be presented to the nominee that received the most online votes on 3DInCites.com. The winners will be announced on Thursday, July 16, 2015 at the 3D InCites Awards Breakfast during SEMICON West 2015 in San Francisco.

A panel of independent industry experts will judge the 2015 awards program based on innovation, solution to a problem, and cost-of-ownership. Awards will be presented in the following categories:

• Devices (including interposer, 3D IC, 3D Memory, Heterogeneous Integration)
• Design Tools (includes EDA and Design for Test)
• Processes
• Materials
• Manufacturing Equipment (includes handling equipment)
• Inspection/Metrology Tools
• Test Tools/Equipment (includes probe cards/testers)

Nominations open March 31, 2015 and will be accepted through June 26, 2015. Only products that have not been previously nominated for a 3D InCites Award will be considered.
