AT&S debuted a new technology to enable system-in-package (SiP) devices. AT&S’s embedded component packaging technology ECP is used to enable further miniaturiztion of electronic devices while enhancing their performance.
Package-on-package, implemented with flip chip package assembly, is meeting requirements for next-gen mobile devices. Challenges remain: fine pitch underfill, brittleness of ultra low-k (ULK) dielectrics, and shorting between adjacent bumps. Craig Mitchell, Tessera, examines the lucrative 3D packaging step and how to face these challenges.
Advanced Packaging asked our readers where -- at the foundry, in a dedicated semiconductor assembly and test services (SATS) house, or on the SMT line -- package-on-package (POP) assembly should take place.
Tessera Technologies (Nasdaq:TSRA) announced that Bruce McWilliams, PhD, has resigned as a member of Tessera’s board of directors effective immediately, to devote his time and attention to the needs of SuVolta's growing business.
Brush Engineered Materials Inc. (NYSE:BW) will change its name to Materion Corporation (NYSE:MTRN) and unify all of its businesses under the new name effective March 8, 2011.
Dr. Phil Garrou looks ahead to a laundry list of changes coming in the next ITRS Update with respect to assembly and advanced packaging, including 3D integration, interposers, and applications from medical to automotive and embedded applications.
STATS ChipPAC Ltd. (SGX-ST:STATSChP), semiconductor test and advanced packaging service provider, expanded its wafer level package (WLP) offering with new 300mm manufacturing capabilities in Taiwan.
CEA-Leti is expanding its technology offering, ramping up one of Europe’s first 300mm lines dedicated to 3D-integration applications. The new line is dedicated to R&D and prototyping and includes 3D-oriented lithography, deep etching, dielectric deposition, metallization, wet etching, and packaging tools.
