3D Integration 101: Explore, Learn, Share

Working from the mantra “None of us knows as much as all of us,” SEMI invited manufacturers of electronic components and systems to come together

We’ve waited a long time for this, and now it’s here. There is a 3D megatrend happening in semiconductor manufacturing, as scaling alone does not

Deca Technologies has confirmed that its M-Series™ fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) technology has been adopted by Qualcomm for power management integrated circuit (PMIC) devices in Samsung’s S10, the Xiaomi Mi 9 and LG G8 smartphones. And in other news, advanced packaging was the Cinderella Story at Hot Chips 2019.

Thomas Alva Edison didn’t invent semiconductor device packaging, but he might have, had he lived just one more generation. “I find out what the world

IIFTLE is always on the lookout for technologies that will require advanced packaging solutions. Fingerprint sensors for today’s latest smartphones appear to be one of

Everyone in the semiconductor industry seems so shocked by the steady stream of electronics industry publications closures and cutbacks over the past year. From where

More than 20 years ago, the cooperation between fabless IC vendors and wafer foundries started to dominate over the integrated device manufacturing (IDM) business model

Recognizing the need for and value of semiconductor industry organizations, in 1994, Jodi Shelton and CEOs of fabless IC companies founded the Fabless Semiconductor Association

A year after GLOBALFOUNDRIES cancels its 7nm program, the company is developing 3D chip stacks fabricated using GLOBALFOUNDRIES’s 12nm FinFET process and features ARM’s mesh interconnect technology in 3D. This alternative to costly node shrinking may help GLOBALFOUNDRIES maintain a market presence.

Technology innovations don’t reach customers right away. It takes careful collaboration with the right partners to transform a new and innovative technology into high-value, customer-specific solutions.

Because memory represents typically about half the silicon content of a system, and multi-die packages typically combine many memory devices with one or more logic

Is advanced packaging production coming back to the USA?  The Navy (i.e. NSWC Crane) is currently seeking proposals from the industry for the development of

System-technology co-optimization (STCO) – enabled by 3D integration technologies – is seen as a next ‘knob’ for continuing the scaling path. Eric Beyne, imec fellow and program director of imec’s 3D system integration program and Julien Ryckaert, program director 3D hybrid scaling at imec, unravel the STCO principle, open up the 3D technology toolbox and bring up two promising cases: logic on memory, and backside power delivery.

Earlier this summer, 175 system-in-package (SiP) experts from all over the world met at the Marriott Hotel in Monterey’s Old Town at the IMAPS Advanced

SEMICON West and the Electronic System (ES) Design West were, for the first time, co-located at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, from July 9

Building on its previous announcements of embedded interconnect bridge (EMIB) and Foveros technologies, Intel recently provided details on three new enabling technologies for advanced packaging: Co-EMIB, managed data input/output (MDIO) and omnidirectional interconnect (ODI).
