GlobalFoundries filed suit in U.S. District Court in New York against IBM, accusing it of unlawfully disclosing IP and trade secrets to IBM partners, including Intel and Rapidus, potentially receiving hundreds of millions of dollars in licensing income and other benefits. The European Union released a €43 billion ($47 billion) plan for jumpstarting its semiconductor manufacturing industry,... » read more

As Chiplets Go Mainstream, Chip Industry Players Collaborate to Overcome New Development Challenges
By Ashley Huang - 16 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor industry is building a comprehensive chiplet ecosystem to seize on the advantages of the devices over traditional monolithic system-on-chips (SoCs) such as improved performance, lower power consumption, and greater design flexibility. With heterogeneous integration (HI) presenting significant challenges, collaboration to fulfill the potential of chiplets has become even more i... » read more

Next Generation Chip Embedding Technology For High Efficiency Power Modules and Power SiPs
By ASE - 15 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

Cost, performance, and package size are some of the key drivers required in the next generation of package interconnect and package structure evolution. Embedding active die into substrates was mainly driven by package miniaturization for communication handheld devices. However, in the case of power modules, miniaturization is not the only driver that enhances the need for embedded die substrat... » read more

Week in Review: Manufacturing, Test
By Linda Christensen - 03 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Hybrid Bonding & Supercomputers At this week’s ECTC conference, CEA-Leti and Intel presented an “optimized hybrid direct-bonding, self-assembly process," which they claim has the potential to increase alignment accuracy and speed up fab throughput by several thousand dies per hour. The approach uses capillary forces of a water droplet to align dies on a target wafer. “Commercial s... » read more
