3D integration has created a complex landscape of many different package architectures and integration approaches that have diverse materials needs and uncertain insertion timing. The multitude of processes required do not fit neatly into the established pigeonholes of front-end and back-end. Processes such as through silicon via (TSV) fabrication require...
The technologies are ready, the target high volume applications for 3D IC manufacturing have been identified, and now it’s about convincing system architects there’s more to gain from designing in 2.5D and 3D ICs than there is to lose. At last week’s European 3D TSV Summit (January 21-22), two European...
This is part of a series of short interviews, based on face-to-face meetings at SEMICON West 2013. Sitting down with EV Group execs to talk about the company’s latest achievements and contributions to the 3D IC cause has become an annual SEMICON West tradition. In fact, I’ve probably spent more...
In his keynote address at this year’s IMAPS Device Packaging Conference (IMAPS 2013) Sitaram Arkalgud, of Invensas, touched on a number of remaining technology “choke points” that need to be addressed before high volume manufacturing of 3D ICs can take off. Obligingly, a number of presenters following his talk offered balms...
Oh yes, where was I before the holidays took over and hijacked my life for two weeks? I’ll bet you thought I was done reporting on 3D ASIP, but wait – there’s more! Point/Counterpoint on Thin Wafer Handling I already reported on Wilfried Bair’s (Suss MicroTec’s perspective on temporary/ debond...
Last week, CEA-Leti launched its Open 3D initiative to the 3D world in an effort to make its mature 3D technologies accessible to industrial and academic partners for their advanced products and research projects. Wanting to learn more about this offer than was detailed in the press release, I interviewed...
To listen to John Lau, of ITRI, speak on the topic of 3D integration is to experience a passion for technology that rivals no other; except perhaps that of Rao Tummala of Georgia Tech. But John is definitely more vocal in his passion. Rao has a softer, gentler approach. At...
I ask you, could there be a better place to host a conference dedicated to micro and nano electronics than Disney World, the place where all things are possible? This year’s event boasted the greatest turnout so far, (over 1000 attendees) and had such an abundance of papers that the...
EV Group (EVG), a leading supplier of wafer bonding and lithography equipment for the MEMS, nanotechnology and semiconductor markets, today announced it has introduced a new equipment platform, dubbed the XT Frame, that extends process throughput and tool functionality for virtually all of its current volume-manufacturing product offerings. Specifically designed...
St. Florian, Austria, April 19, 2011 – EV Group (EVG) today announced that its longtime customer and partner, industry-leading research center CEA-Leti (Grenoble, France), has installed multiple EVG tools in its industry-first 300-mm cleanroom dedicated to R&D and prototyping for 3D-integration applications. While Leti’s new state-of-the-art facility is focused on...
