Following the course of 3D IC integration and 3D Packaging. Wednesday, June 10, 2009. Filled vs. conformal vias: the consensus. Dr Zhang, I think we have reached a verdict. Bob Patti wrote in to confirm Anonymous Caller’s statement regarding polymer-filled, copper-lined TSVs, and also provided some additional data to support his comments. I’ve taken the liberty of paraphrasing his comments here:. See slides 29-30, the CIS pictured is from Oki.). Posted by Francoise von Trapp. Tuesday, June 9, 2009. Altho...

Following the course of 3D IC integration and 3D Packaging. Friday, June 26, 2009. SUSS MicroTec: A 3D Approach. It’s been a few years since I toured the US headquarters of SUSS MicroTec in Waterbury VT, so when general manager, Wilfried Bair invited me out to see their latest toolset developed with 3D integration processes in mind, and get the scoop on the company’s new temporary bonding and debonding system, I jumped at the chance. Until the recently announced agreement with 3M. The 3M process,. Labels...

Françoise in 3D: 3D processes and approaches: stepping stones to market adoption
http://francoisevontrapp.blogspot.com/2009/06/3d-processes-and-approaches-stepping.html
Following the course of 3D IC integration and 3D Packaging. Monday, June 22, 2009. 3D processes and approaches: stepping stones to market adoption. At the risk of oversimplification, I offer up the following analysis; perhaps the best way to understand how 3D integration using TSV will ultimately come together is to see it as a progression – a stepping stone approach. Even though that’s how the questions are often posed – it’s not likely to end up as an either-or situation. Posted by Francoise von Trapp.
