Francoise von Trapp August 29, 2018 Blogs, SemiSisters 0

Throughout my years of writing about the semiconductor industry, I’ve met women from all over the world. I’ve often wondered what or who encouraged them to pursue careers in this male-centric environment? How much of their motivation is inspired by the culture of where they grew up? Can success be quantified? The answers are as varied as the women whose stories we want to tell. Our goal with... »

Diversification of Markets Calls for Hybrid Metrology with Multi-Sensor Technology

Francoise von Trapp August 27, 2018 Blogs, Francoise in 3D 0

It used to be that people thought about metrology for front-end process control and inspection for advanced packaging. As wafer level packaging (WLP) and heterogeneous integration (HI) approaches became more advanced, metrology processes began creeping into back-end process control, where measurement becomes trickier and more diversified. As part of the 3D InCites Award Winners series, I spoke wit... »

Tips for Navigating the European MEMS and Sensors/Imaging and Sensors Summits

Francoise von Trapp August 16, 2018 3D Event Coverage 0

For the second consecutive year, SEMI Europe is co-locating its MEMS and Sensors/Imaging and Sensors Summits in Grenoble, France, in the heart of the Rhone-Alpes. Rather than Minatec Campus, where the event was held last year, both summits will take place at The World Trade Center Grenoble. After last year’s successful and information-packed event, I’m looking forward to attending this year’... »

How Jessica Gomez Short-Circuited Her Way to CEO: A SemiSister Success Story

Francoise von Trapp August 13, 2018 Blogs, Francoise in 3D, SemiSisters 0

The number is sobering: according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor of Statistics, 16.9% of chemical engineers and 12.3% of electrical/electronics engineers in the US are women. For racial diversity, the situation is even worse. These grave statistics came to light during a recent panel discussion during SEMICON West, in its Workforce Pavilion. Here, Jessica Gomez, co-founder and CEO of Rogue Valley Mic... »

Perspectives on the Cost of Fan-out Wafer Level Packaging vs. Flip Chip Packaging

John Lau August 6, 2018 Resource Library, Technologies Features 0

Recently, I read a paper published in the 2017 IMAPS Device Packaging Conference proceedings, titled “Cost Comparison of Fan-out Wafer Level Packaging and Flip Chip Packaging,” written by Amy Lujan, of Savansys. Lujan did a very good analysis on the cost comparison of fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) with chip-first and die face-down and flip chip (FC) packaging, according to a... »

TechSearch International Analyzes Trends in Packages for AI Applications

TechSearch International, Inc. August 2, 2018 Press Releases 0

Artificial Intelligence (AI) combines both hardware and software. TechSearch International’s latest analysis explains the packages behind AI applications. AI accelerators found in datacenters require high-density packages to support logic plus high bandwidth memory (HBM). Many silicon interposer designs are in mass production and Intel’s EMIB is also used. Package-on-package (PoP) is use... »
