Well, that was interesting. SEMICON West 2018 just wrapped up, and I’m not quite sure what just happened. This year’s event was…. For lack of

Ok folks. It’s that time of year again. SEMICON West 2018 is upon us. By the time you read this – IF you get the

The Heterogenous Integration Roadmap Committee wants to create a new nomenclature that does away with 2.5D. Instead, the industry will refer to 2D, 2D enhanced

This year’s Design Automation Conference (DAC 2018) was held at Moscone West, San Francisco, CA. On three levels, about 175 exhibitors showed their capabilities and

One topic that has been under hot debate in the semiconductor advanced packaging sector for the past few years is fan-out panel-level packaging (FOPLP).  In

Structured light and time of flight (ToF) are the dominant types of 3D sensing used for augmented reality, motion detection, gesture control, automotive/industrial 3D mapping,

These days, the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions fan-out (FO) technology is Apple’s A10 processor built on TSMCs integrated fan-out (InFO)

For the past few years, the ECTC committee has provided 3D InCites with a table outside the session rooms, rather than the technology corner, as

Despite a valiant effort by the ECTC committee to integrate design topics into this year’s agenda, the number of empty seats spoke volumes: Including two

The special Tuesday session at ECTC 2018 took a look at new methods and applications for assembly technology to accommodate the needs of heterogeneous integration

There’s fact, and there’s perception. The messages people carry away from conferences are not only influenced by what they hear from the speakers, but also

Many high-performance systems today use custom ASICs or SoCs to provide the necessary computational power and data bandwidth demanded by their host system, whether it’s

Dense materials that exhibit high thermal conductivity are abundant in nature: think copper, think diamond, think silicon. And porous materials with low thermal conductivity also
