Word on the street is, New York will soon be known as Nano York, with all the money the state is pouring into nanotechnology research and development. The most recent announcement by Governor Cuomo is a $1.5 Billion Public-Private investment intended to turn the Mohawk Valley (Utica) into the next major hub for nanotechnology research. A consortium of global technology companies headquartered at t... »
The transition to 3D NAND Flash seems to be imminent with projections of it being half the total NAND Flash market by 2016. That means tens of billions of dollars within 3 years. V-NAND is Samsung’s version. Their first publication describing this architecture was released in 2009 and was called “TCAT” or “Terabit Cell Array Transistor”. Toshiba too has been working o... »
Big news for 3D ICs this week as TSMC and its OIP Ecosystem Partners announce the release of silicon-validated reference flows for both 3D IC stacks and 16nm FinFETS (everyone else puts the 16nm FinFETS first, but I’m most excited about the 3D IC news.) According to Peter Clarke in EETimes, “silicon validation of these flows signifies the opening up of the manufacturing processes for the desig... »
There’s been a lot of buzz around 3D NAND in the past few weeks, sparked by Samsung’s recent announcement that it was commercializing its 3D VNAND technology. There’s also been some discussion (mixed with concern) about how, if at all, 3D NAND might affect the commercialization of TSV-based 3D DRAM technologies, such as Wide I/O 2, High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) the current front-runner, Micron... »
At last week’s Memcon 2013, which took place Tuesday, August 6, 2013, at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Keynoter Bob Brennen, Senior VP at Samsung, talked about the need for New DRAM and Flash Memory architectures. Richard Goering summarized Brennan’s keynote very well in his blog post. Because Brennan’s responsibility is to manage Samsung’s System Architecture Labs, he talked ... »
Subscribers are practically blowing up 3D InCites as they duke it out online and race the July 3rd deadline for casting their ballots in the public opinion poll for this inaugural 3D InCites Awards; which is great because the first 3D InCites Awards Breakfast, co-presented by 3D InCites and TechSearch International, is fast approaching, and we’ve got an exciting program shaping up. We’re hap... »
So SPIL’s offering a turnkey model for 2.5D interposers, including fine-pitch fabrication of the interposer wafers themselves? This is certainly an interesting turn of events, particularly with TSMC’s recent announcement that they’re not married to the turnkey model and are willing to collaborate with OSATS. SST’s Phil Garrou got the scoop this week from SPIL’s Mike Ma, at the Confab. Re... »

The PC world is dead? Chris Hubbard, Intel’s Business PC Marketing Manager scoffs at the mere idea. “The demise of the PC industry was predicted before it was born!” he said during his opening presentation at the SEMI Americas Arizona Breakfast Forum, Friday April 12, 2013 at Intel in Chandler, AZ. Hubbard showed a chart contrasting PC revenue growth with different times over the years whe... »
