Potting Compounds Protect Electronic CircuitsPotting and encapsulation compounds are designed to completely enclose a component, module or PCB. This effectively shields the unit from its surroundings while providing structural support and imparting the highest protection from external conditions. There are a variety of potting formulations on the market today that suit the needs of diverse applications. However, a balance must be developed when deciding on the best material. Factors such as handling and processing, open time, viscosity and cure schedules must be considered when determining which formulation to go with. Learn more about the performance properties of epoxies, silicones, UV curables, and B-staged epoxies, plus the packaging options available, to see which is best for the manufacturing and assembly of your electronic device.

Metrology September 2015 (Date and time TBD)
Continued scaling and more complex device structures, including FinFETs and 3D stacking, are creating new challenges in metrology and inspection. Smaller defects must be detected and analyzed on an increasingly diverse set of materials. Chip makers are looking for better wafer edge inspection techniques, higher resolution metrology tools, 450mm-capability and new compositional analysis solutions. Experts will describe new approaches for next generation metrology and inspection, including measurements of CDs, stress, film thickness and non-visual defects.

Wafer Processing November 2015 (Date and time TBD) As the industry moves to 10nm and 7nm nodes, advances in wafer processing – etch, deposition, planarization, implant, cleaning, annealing, epitaxy among others – will be required. Manufacturers are looking for new solutions for sustained strain engineering, FinFETs, FDSOI and multi-gate technologies, 3D SRAMs, high mobility transistors and 450mm wafer processing.

3D NAND Challenges and Opportunities December 2015 (Date and time TBD)
Conventional planar flash memory technology is approaching critical scaling limitations that are driving the transition to 3D solutions. 3D NAND is expected to scale in height, from 16-bit-tall strings to string heights of more than 128 bits. Meanwhile NAND makers will find ways of placing these strings closer to each other through more aggressive lithography. Imec’s Jan Van Houdt, director flash memory program / manager memory device design group, will discuss trends, challenges and opportunities.
