Virtual IWLPC Focuses on Panel Level Packaging

The 2020 International Wafer Level Packaging Conference (Virtual IWLPC) brought up the caboose of several weeks of virtual conferences that for me started with SEMICON Taiwan and included IMAPS International Symposium. The content featured one keynote, a panel discussion, 40 technical presentations, and 23 virtual exhibits where you can access...

Social Distancing Spotlight: How KLA Keeps Looking Ahead

Over the past few years, we’ve seen KLA evolving from its origins as a process control company focused on front-end solutions, to a more holistic organization that extends its reach into more segments of the electronics chain, like, packaging, display, and components. The ICOS inspection product line got it pointed...

IFTLE 438: Reliability Test For 0.3mm WLCSP; Copper RDL Trace Requirements

This week we continue our look presentations from SEMICON Europa’s Advanced Packaging Conference. Intel’s Reliability Test Beth Keser’s group at Intel Germany discussed their “product-on-board” reliability test for 0.3mm WLCSPs. The existing JEDEC/IPC board-level methodology tests are fine for traditional packaging solutions for non-extreme low K dielectric (ELK) fab nodes....

Advanced Packaging is Everyone’s Business!

“Changes in the semiconductor supply chain and shifting business models, as well as uncertainty related to US-china trade, creates a growing number of huge opportunities for some while posing a threat to others,” comments Emilie Jolivet, Division Director, Semiconductor & Software at Yole Développement (Yole). “At Yole, we are continuously...

Cu-Interposer Drives Connectivity to the Next Level

Plan Optik AG, the leading manufacturer of customized wafers from glass, quartz or glass-silicon compound materials has launched its new Cu-Interposer technology at SEMICON Europa 2019. The progressive miniaturization, increasing integration density, and requirements for more powerful signal routing create the need for 3D integration. Interposer technologies for rewiring have...

Advanced Packaging Industry: A Wonderful World

The semiconductor industry is at a turning point. The slowdown in CMOS scaling, coupled with escalating costs, has prompted the industry to rely on integrated circuit (IC) packaging to extend the benefits of the More-than-Moore era. Thus, the advanced packaging industry has entered its most successful period, boosted by widespread...

TOP 25 OSATs Ranking: Survival of the Fittest?

Out of the top 25 OSATs, Taiwan-based OSATs contributed more than half of the revenue in 2018 followed by China, US, and Malaysia. The leading giant of the outsourced semiconductor and test service providers (OSATs), ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd. (formerly ASE Inc.) and subsidiaries, has got even bigger after...

EV Group Partners with NSI to Enable First Wafer-level Heterogeneous Integration of GaAs on Silicon for RF Front-end Module Manufacturing

EV Group (EVG), a leading supplier of wafer bonding and lithography equipment, today announced that it has partnered with Ningbo Semiconductor International Corporation (NSI), a specialty semiconductor foundry based in Ningbo, China, in the development of the industry’s first process technology platform for wafer-level heterogeneous integration of gallium arsenide (GaAs) on...
