SET, Smart Equipment Technology, a leading supplier of high accuracy die-to-die (D2D), die-to-wafer (D2W) bonding and nanoimprint lithography solutions will collaborate with IMEC, one of Europe’s leading independent nanoelectronics research institutes, on the development of die pick-and-place and bonding processes for 3D chip integration, using SET's FC300 High Force & High Accuracy Device Bonder.
"Assembly Strategies for 3D-IC Integration: Wafer to Wafer vs Chip to Wafer."
⇒ With the advent of 3D integration concepts as a potential enabler for the continuation of Moore's law, the aligned wafer bonding requirements have shifted significantly. Chip-to-wafer bonding and wafer reconstruction represent solutions to improve yield and chip size flexibility; the two methods are detailed in this presentation made at Semicon Japan 2008.
"SET received the Georg-Waeber-Prize for Innovation 2008"
⇒ Georg-Waeber Prize for Innovation 2008 was given to Dr. Matthias Rommel and Mr Holger Schmitt, from the Fraunhofer-IISB, Mr Michael Hornung from SUSS MicroTec and Mr. Gilbert Lecarpentier from SET.
