Solving Fan-Out Wafer-Level Warpage Challenges Using Material Science


Now more than ever we’re finding that semiconductor process engineers are turning to material scientists to help find solutions for their most complex challenges. Currently, they are looking for ways to improve fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP), one of today’s hottest technologies for heterogeneous integration. Often, with these new advanced solutions come challenges that can impact ... » read more

Tech Talk: Shrink Vs. Package


Andy Heinig, group manager for system integration at Fraunhofer EAS, talks about the tradeoffs between planar design and advanced packaging, including different types of interposers, chiplets and thermal issues. https://youtu.be/1BDqgCujJno » read more

Cheaper Fan-Outs Ahead


Packaging houses continue to ramp up fan-out wafer-level packages in the market, but customers want lower cost fan-out products for a broader range of applications, such as consumer, RF and smartphones. So in R&D, the industry for some time has been developing next-generation fan-out using a panel-level format, a technology that could potentially lower the cost of fan-out. But there are ... » read more

Ultra-Thin Substrate Assembly Challenges For Advanced Flip Chip Package


Advanced semiconductor packaging requirements for higher and faster performance in a thinner and smaller form factor continues to grow for mobile, network and consumer devices. While the increase in device input/output (I/O) count is driven by the famous “Moore’s Law”, the packaging industry is experiencing opposing trends for more complex packaging solutions while the expected cost targe... » read more
