Dr. Phil Garrou Makes the Move to 3D InCites

Yes. You read that right. It is my great pleasure to announce that Dr. Phil Garrou is joining 3D InCites as contributing editor and as a member of our esteemed technical advisory board. Like me, you may have noticed a pause in Phil’s missives on all things advanced packaging. While...

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

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...

TechSearch International Analyzes Trends in Packages for AI Applications

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 used...

TechSearch International Analyzes Potential for 3D Sensing Modules

Structured light and time of flight (ToF) are the dominant types of 3D sensing used for augmented reality, motion detection, gesture control, automotive/industrial 3D mapping, and proximity applications. These 3D sensing technologies are now appearing in smartphones. Apple’s iPhone X and its Face ID technology was not the first smartphone...

Co-Design Comes to ECTC 2018: You Can Lead A Horse to Water…

Despite a valiant effort by the ECTC committee to integrate design topics into this year’s agenda, the number of empty seats spoke volumes: Including two plenary sessions on design-focused topics was one thing; getting packaging and process engineers to attend was quite another. While I attended IC Package Co-Design for...
