Tech Session Highlights from ECTC 2017

Françoise promised in her recent blog that my ECTC blog would follow shortly. Finally, after attending DAC in Austin as well as the iMAPS’ SiP Conference in California’s Wine Country and shortly before attending Semicon West in San Francisco, I found some time to report what I saw and learned...

3D Turns up at the BiTS Workshop 2012

It wasn’t on the final agenda, but thanks to a last-minute presentation switch by BiTS Workshop keynoter Jim Feldhan, president of Phoenix-based Semico Research, 3D became a featured topic at this year’s event. For the past few years, BiTS General Chair, Fred Taber, has contracted me to conduct video interviews...

And Now, a Word for Our Sponsors

While there’s no denying that our registered members, guest bloggers, forum panelists, advisory board, and regular readers are all vital elements of the 3D InCites community, none of this would be possible without the financial input of our advertisers. So I would like to briefly take up some blog space...

Everywhere you look, people are talking 3D

My head is spinning.  I just spent a few hours reading through all the latest 3D technology posts on various semiconductor news websites; something I find myself doing a lot more ever since I took on 3D-ICs.com. As editorial director of that site, it’s my job to sift through all...

And in My Spare Time…..

Things have been pretty crazy lately, what with wearing several hats and all. I spent two days in Silicon Valley last week visiting some companies on behalf of Chip Scale Review, and also at SEMI for an Advanced Packaging Committee meeting for SEMICON West to hammer out the 3D program. ...

Can cost-sharing accelerate 3D IC commercialization?

I’ve been talking a lot about the collaborative efforts in the form of open and closed consortia and joint development agreements that seem to be carrying 3D IC integration forward to market adoption. Another approach is a multi-project wafer program, in which participants cost-share to build multiple device prototypes...
