We continue to deal with a paradox: semiconductor chips are necessary to support digitalization and society’s transition to lower carbon power and transportation. At the same time, semiconductor manufacturing is resource- and energy-intensive. Efficiency improvements are one part of the solution, but they can only take us so far. There’s...
Challenges to 3DHI and chiplets remain, but new advanced packaging foundry solutions are stacking up The industry consensus is that the path to extending Moore’s Law lies in heterogeneous integration (HI) and chiplet architectures. Why, then, are we still waiting for the full adoption of HI, 3DHI, and chiplets? The...
The “Global Talent Shortage” is a buzzword that everybody uses nowadays. But what does it mean? The most used definition I found was that employers cannot find the people they need with the right blend of technical skills and human strengths. The talent shortage is a significant concern in the...

For our industry to fully embrace environmental sustainability, we need the entire supply chain involved. The industry giants can make all the proclamations they want, but without the support of their suppliers and their suppliers’ suppliers, they will find it very difficult to achieve their goals. Equipment is central to...
IMAPS held its Arizona Chapter Event at Deca Technologies, which included a presentation from Clifford Sandstrom on: “Achieving High-Density Die-to-Die Integration with Adaptive Pad Stacks on Molded Embedded Bridge Die Interposers,” and a happy hour of networking. MKS/Atotech was in attendance at the TPCA Show 2023 showcasing advanced process, laser drilling and...
I am passionate about the emerging and leading technology shaping the world. After accepting an internship at Kiterocket, a global PR and marketing agency, I quickly delved into learning about the technical and complex world of semiconductors. This internship allowed me to grow the skills necessary to excel in an...
Recovering Noble Metals Apple made an audacious announcement in 2017, publicly stating a goal to eliminate mined rare earth elements from its iPhones. Stating such a goal, without a concrete plan to achieve it, was unheard of coming from the usually secretive Apple. It still isn’t clear how Apple will...
SEMICON Europa 2023, co-located with productronica in Munich, Germany makes for one of the strongest single events for electronics manufacturing in Europe. Together, SEMICON Europa and productronica showcase the entire spectrum of technologies and solutions for the entire semiconductor and electronics manufacturing industries, reflecting the rapid pace of technological development...
