Photonic Debonding Provides A Cost-Efficient, High-Throughput Debond Process
By Jessica Albright - 18 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

As emerging technologies require ultrathinned device wafers, traditional debonding processes can pose some challenges. Photonic debonding is an innovative debonding process utilizing a carrier coated with an inorganic metal release layer that aids in the release of the thinned wafer from the carrier substrate with no force and no damage to the delicate wafer upon activation of the release layer... » read more

Photonic Debond: Scalability And Advancements
By Brewer Science - 17 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

Advanced packaging technology has continuously evolved over the past 10-20 years to become a major driving force in improving integrated circuit (IC) performance. This improvement in IC performance is assisted by the ability to place specialized components near each other for shorter interconnects in the IC packages. Temporary bond and debond (TB/DB) is an enabling technique for this work. TB/D... » read more

Rama Puligadda, CTO at Brewer Science, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to talk about a broad set of changes in semiconductor manufacturing, packaging, and materials, and how that will affect reliability, processes, and equipment across the supply chain. SE: What role do sacrificial materials play in semiconductor manufacturing, and how is that changing at new process nodes? Puliga... » read more

A Single-Layer Mechanical Debonding Adhesive For Advanced Wafer-Level Packaging
By Brewer Science - 20 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Better performance and lower cost are always key trends being pursued in the semiconductor industry. Moore's law has provided a very well-defined relationship between performance and cost and the semiconductor industry has followed this law for the past several decades with no issue. However, it became more and more difficult for foundries and integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) to scale to ... » read more

A Novel Multifunctional Single-Layer Adhesive Used For Both Temporary Bonding And Mechanical Debonding in Wafer-Level Packaging Applications
By Brewer Science - 15 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 0

Temporary bonding (TB) and debonding (DB) of wafers have been widely developed and applied over the last decade in various wafer-level packaging technologies, such as package-on-package (PoP), fan-out integration, and 2.5D and 3D integration using through-silicon vias (TSVs). The materials used to achieve TB and DB are extremely critical and the industry's current best practice is the use of tw... » read more

Partitioning In 3D
By Katherine Derbyshire - 23 May, 2019 - Comments: 2

The best way to improve transistor density isn't necessarily to cram more of them onto a single die. Moore’s Law in its original form stated that device density doubles about every two years while cost remains constant. It relied on the observation that the cost of a processed silicon wafer remained constant regardless of the number of devices printed on it, which in turn depended on litho... » read more

Temporary Bonding: Enabling the Next Generation of Ultrathin Wafers
By Kim Yess - 11 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 0

Innovative materials are critical for maintaining integrity during advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes. Temporary bonding is being enabled by these new materials and is making a name for itself in the next generation of ultrathin wafer manufacturing. Semiconductor wafers are being forced to become thinner as the push to shrink feature sizes and introduce full-scale 3D integration ... » read more

Temporary Bonding, Debonding Remains Challenging For TSV Adoption
By Jeff Chappell - 28 Oct, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Jeff Chappell One issue with the adoption of TSVs in 3D ICs in mainstream semiconductor applications revolves around the throughput of the temporary wafer bonding and debonding process. This doesn't necessarily equate to a roadblock, but work certainly remains to be done on this and related issues. On one hand, TSVs already are being used in the manufacturing of compound semiconductors ... » read more
