The New Technology Solutions For Advanced SiP Devices
By YongJai Seo - 18 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

For many years, System-in-Package (SiP) technology has been a focus for semiconductor packaging to address the ongoing market trend of system integration and size reduction. Today’s increased complexity and higher package density for SiP devices has driven the development of new packaging technologies. In response, compartmental shield technology makes it possible to put several functions int... » read more

Failure Prediction Is Vital for Packaging Technology
By Sam Sadri - 18 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

A while back, I wrote a post on what I call the “10 Commandments of Packaging” – my list of the key things to bear in mind with respect to developing new packaging solutions. Today, packaging engineers must contend with more variables than ever, from new substrate materials to more types of packages with a greater range of complexity. With that complexity comes new challenges, and I felt ... » read more

Optimizing System-Level Connectivity In Heterogenous Automotive Packages

How To Identify Common Electronic Failures
By Tyler Ferris - 14 Oct, 2021 - Comments: 0

Failure analysis is the process of identifying, and typically attempting to mitigate, the root cause of a failure. In the electronics industry, failure analysis involves isolating the failure to a location on a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) before collecting more detailed data to investigate which component or board location is functioning improperly. A member of the Ansys Reliabil... » read more

STMicroelectronics Methodology And Process For Heterogeneous Automotive Package Design
By Siemens EDA - 06 Oct, 2021 - Comments: 0

As a leading supplier of automotive semiconductors, STMicroelectronics must continue to move fast to develop and deliver leading-edge solutions. Employing package design as part of system innovation requires the STMicroelectronics Back-End Manufacturing Technology R&D organization to embrace the key driving forces of product development. In the automotive field, package designers need to... » read more

3D IC: Opportunities, Challenges, And Solutions
By Kenneth Larsen - 28 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

Nearly every big city reaches a point in its evolution when it runs out of open space and starts building vertically. This enables far more apartments, offices and people per square mile, while avoiding the increased infrastructure costs of suburban sprawl. Semiconductors are evolving in much the same way. Moore’s Law is slowing, and adoption of new advanced technology nodes is slowing as wel... » read more

Empowering RF Front End Cellular Innovations With DSMBGA
By Curtis Zwenger - 19 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

With the introduction of 5G, cellular frequency bands have increased considerably, requiring innovative solutions for the packaging of RF front-end modules for smartphones and other 5G-enabled devices. Double-sided, molded ball grid array (DSMBGA) is a prime example of such solutions. “With our DSMBGA platform, we’ve established a preferred advanced packaging solution for this domain,”... » read more

MEMS: New Materials, Markets And Packaging

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to talk about future developments and challenges for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) with Gerold Schropfer, director of MEMS products and European operations in Lam Research's Computational Products group, and Michelle Bourke, senior director of strategic marketing for Lam's Customer Support Business Group. What follows are excerpts of that conversation.... » read more

The Need For Open Molded Plastic Packages
By Rosie Medina - 22 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

When you need to meet a project or customer deadline, can you count on your outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) provider to get you the parts when you need them? If the answer is “no” or “it depends,” you’ll understand the value of having open molded plastic packages – plastic packages with open cavities – readily available for quick-turn assembly. OSATs are v... » read more
