Leti Semicon Workshopby Admin on 05-11-2023 at 3:08 pm
CEA-Leti is driving deep, sustainable innovation for low-power devices and sensing technology that meet the needs of More than Moore applications. During this workshop, CEA-Leti will share its latest advances in these fields and highlight the major role played by semiconductors in terms of innovation for healthcare, computing… Read More
Dan is joined by Paul Hedges, CEO and co-founder of graphene and 2D materials specialists, Applied Nanolayers. Paul explains how wafer-scale integration of materials like graphene can be accomplished, unlocking new “more than Moore” applications such as biosensing and photonics. The applications Paul describes… Read More
The incredible growth that the semiconductor industry has enjoyed over the last several decades is attributed to Moore’s Law. While no one argues that point, there is also industry wide acknowledgment that Moore’s Law started slowing down around the 7nm process node. While die-size reductions still scale, performance jumps… Read More
3DIC in Burlingameby Paul McLellan on 12-01-2014 at 7:00 amCategories: Events
Every year in December is what I think of as the main 3D IC conference where you can get up to speed on all the latest. Officially it is called 3D Architectures for Semiconductor and Packaging or 3D ASIP. It is held in the Hyatt Regency in Burlingame (the one right by 101 near the airport). This year it is from December 10-12th.
The first… Read More
At the GSA Silicon Summit this afternoon there was a discussion of 3D IC and 2.5D IC. The session was moderated by Javier DeLaCruz of eSilicon and the panelists were:
- Calvin Cheung of ASE (an OSAT)
- Gil Lvey of OptimalTest (a test house)
- Bob Patti of Tezzaron (semiconductor company specializing in TSV-based designs)
- Riko Radojcic

Technology Challenges: Intel, IBM, Xilinx, GlobalFoundries, IMECby Paul McLellan on 01-14-2014 at 7:00 pmCategories: ESD Alliance, Foundries, FPGA, GlobalFoundries, Intel, Semiconductor Services, Xilinx
I spent the day at the SEMI Industry Strategy Symposium in Half Moon Bay. The early part of the day was devoted to technology challenges. Obviously everyone did not say exactly the same things, and had a little bit of a different spin depending on what business they are in. But there was a lot of commonality between Intel, IBM, Xilinx… Read More
Every year the GSA holds the GSA Silicon Summit. This year it is on April 10th at the Computer History Museum. It runs from 9am until 2.15pm. This year the focus is mostly on technologies other than simply scaling semiconductor technology. The meeting is divided into 3 sessions, each of which starts with a presentation and then is … Read More
Two conferences on 3D, one just over and one coming up next week. The one that was just over was hosted by Georgia Tech, the 3rd Annual Global Interposer Technology Workshop (GIT). I wasn’t there but my ex-colleague from VLSI Technology Herb Reiter was. Herb has become very much associated with all things 3D since he led the … Read More
The theme of this year’s GSA Silicon Summit is More than Moore. This has become a sort of catchall phrase for technologies other than simply moving to the next process node. The summit is on April 18th at the computer history museum (1401 Shoreline Blvd). Registration takes place at 9am and the actual sessions start at 9.45am.… Read More
EDPS: 3D ICs, part IIby Paul McLellan on 04-12-2012 at 10:00 pmCategories: EDA, Events
Part I is here.
In the panel session at EDPS on 3D IC a number of major issues got highlighted (highlit?).
The first is the problem of known-good-die (KDG) which is what killed off the promising multi-chip-module approach, perhaps the earliest type of interposer. The KDG problem is that with a single die in a package it doesn’t… Read More
