For me, SEMICON West involves a careful balance of attending sessions, keynotes and panels, combined with one-on-one interviews with thought leaders in 3D ICs, as well as manufacturing suppliers who have the onerous task of developing, promoting, and selling the next great solution for 2.5D and 3D IC manufacturing. Over...
Despite the chilly San Francisco morning temperatures, a sizable crowd of 2.5D and 3D enthusiasts gathered at the Impress Lounge to witness the inaugural 3D InCites Awards Breakfast, held July 11, 2013 during SEMICON West. For me, it was especially significant as it marked four years since I first launched...
SEMICON West, San Francisco, Calif., July 10, 2012 — EV Group (EVG), a leading supplier of wafer bonding and lithography equipment for the MEMS, nanotechnology and semiconductor markets, today announced that its GEMINI® Automated Wafer Bonding System has become the first product to pass a systematic, rigorous Equipment Maturity Assessment...
The R&D centers were out in full force at this year’s SEMICON West, presenting on their latest activities in all areas of 3D technologies, from 3D transistors, to 3D ICS, to full-blown 3D Systems. I was able to attend a smattering of presentations at events hosted by imec, CEA-Leti, SEMATECH...
As much as the industry is intent on holding 3D technologies to a narrow definition, I'm compelled to remind readers that before 3D had to include a TSV interconnect to be considered a 3D technology, and before the term 2.5D had been coined, 3D packaging was already being touted as...
For most of July I focused on coverage of SEMICON West in 3D. Today, I thought I’d take a look at what else people were talking about in 3D space over the past few weeks. The Water Cooling IssueTwo bloggers took on the topic of water cooling 3D IC assemblies...
At SEMICON West 2011, Prof. Rao Tummala of Georgia Tech presented the unique glass and silicon-based 3D Interposer technologies being developed at Georgia Tech, claimed to be simpler and cheaper than 3D ICs with TSV for many mobile and consumer applications at SemiconWest 2011. in his presentation, Tummala discussed the...
In this brave new world powered by consumer electronic devices that cater to the user experience, smartphones and tablets are in the driver’s seat; pushing researchers to the very limits of possibility. At imec’s technology form on Smartphones, held for the first time during SEMICON West, researchers from the institute...
Once again, I can’t let my follow-up coverage of SEMICON West go by without reporting on my annual briefing with Manish Ranjan, of Ultratech. This year I even got a gift! It was little rubber-like replica of the company’s latest lithography tool that encased a 4G flash drive. (Those little...
Last year, it was all about through silicon vias (TSVs), this year, it’s all about everything else needed to achieve 3D IC stacks using TSVs. I’m talking about 3D IC technology discussions at this year’s SEMICON West. A clear example of this was SUSS MicroTec’s workshop on wafer thinning...
