EDPS 2015 Looks At IC Innovations from the Design Perspective

On Thursday and Friday of last week, Monterey, California’s previous state capital, became the center of presentations and discussions about IC design challenges as well as latest innovations / progress made in the field of EDA tools and IC design methodologies at Electronic Design Process Symposium (EDPS) 2015. We also learned a...

Why You Missed Your 2014 3D Stacked DRAM Equipment Shipment Forecast

Remember SEMICON West 2012? How could you forget? It was all clubbing with your customers at The Redwood Room, DNA Lounge, and The Endup after a few standout meals with them at Mission Chinese Food, Slanted Door, Wayfare Tavern, Acquerello, and Absinthe that were preceded by a few drinks with...

Having the Courage to Design in 3D TSVs

I don’t know why it still surprises me to read conflicting reports on the progress of 3D TSVs. But I think Ron Huemoeller, Amkor, finally hit on it in his closing remarks during today’s webcast, “TSV Packaging at the Tipping Point”, moderated by Pete Singer, Solid StateTechnology/Extension Media. Huemoeller’s presentation and...

Micron Technology Ships First HMC Samples; Plans Volume Production for 2014

BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 25, 2013 — Micron Technology, Inc. announced that it is shipping 2GB Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) engineering samples. HMC represents a dramatic step forward in memory technology, and these engineering samples are the world’s first HMC devices to be shared broadly with lead customers. HMC is designed...

HMC Progress, More on Moore’s Law, and the GlobalFoundries’ Buzz

Not long after posting 3D IC Reality Check on Tuesday, I discovered that I missed one. If you haven’t read the post by SemiMD’s Mark Lepedus, Industry Inches Towards 3D Chips  you should. While its got some similar information about recent announcements from GlobalFoundries as was in Rick Merritt’s post in EETIMES, it has...

3DIC Tech Updates

But first, a 3D history lesson thanks to a recent SemiWiki blog post, Hybrids on BeO then, 3D-IC in silicon now, in which blogger Don Dingee recalls lessons learned from working with hybrid microelectronics assemblies, and how they apply in the world of 3D. Calling 3D ICs “the modern version of...

What is 3D Integration?

In the world of semiconductors and microelectronics, a trend to vertically stack integrated circuits (ICs) or circuitry has emerged as a viable solution for meeting electronic device requirements such as higher performance, increased functionality, lower power consumption, and a smaller footprint. The various methods and processes used to achieve this...
