Chip Industry Week In Review

By The SE Staff - 14 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

ASML and imec signed a five-year strategic partnership to advance semiconductor innovation and sustainable technology. The collaboration will leverage ASML’s full product portfolio, including high-NA EUV, DUV immersion, and advanced metrology tools, within imec’s pilot line for sub-2nm R&D. Supported by EU and national funding, it will also drive research in silicon photonics, memory, a... » read more

X-ray Imaging of Silicon Die Within Fully Packaged Semiconductor Devices

By Technical Paper Link - 21 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Abstract: "X-ray diffraction imaging (XRDI) (topography) measurements of silicon die warpage within fully packaged commercial quad-flat no-lead devices are described. Using synchrotron radiation, it has been shown that the tilt of the lattice planes in the Analog Devices AD9253 die initially falls, but after 100 °C, it rises again. The twist across the die wafer falls linearly with an incre... » read more
