In this engaging two-hour Masterclass organized by SEMI, we explore the groundbreaking role of magnetic materials, particularly magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), in biomedical fields. The session commences with an in-depth review of the physics and synthesis of MNPs, including comprehensive discussions on fundamental theories, synthesis methods, and advanced MNP surface functionalization strategies. Attendees will gain insights into the characterization techniques used to analyze the physicochemical properties of MNPs.
The Masterclass transitions to the applications of MNPs in therapeutic and diagnostic contexts. We will review cutting-edge MNP-based therapies, such as magnetic hyperthermia therapy, targeted drug and gene delivery, and magnetic neurostimulation. In addition, we will discuss various MNP-based diagnostic techniques, including magnetoresistive (MR) sensing, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and magnetic particle imaging (MPI). A critical focus of this Masterclass will be on safety and biocompatibility issues associated with the use of MNPs in vivo, examining the toxicity of MNPs, immune responses, and their circulation time in the human body.
The latter part of the session will introduce participants to the innovative field of micromagnetic neural stimulation, an infant yet extremely promising field. We will delve into the design and efficacy of micromagnetic devices, such as the Magnetic Pen (MagPen) and Magnetic Patch (MagPatch) Array, which utilize micrometer-sized coils (μcoils) for targeted neural activation. This is particularly for patients with spinal cord injuries (SCI) and for reducing opioid dependency, with insights drawn from current research supported by the NIH Blueprint Medtech Program. By the end of the Masterclass, attendees will have a comprehensive understanding of the potential clinical applications of MNPs and MEMs-based micromagnetic neurostimulators.

Heterogeneous Integration (HI) has come a long way in 50 years. The world of multi-chip modules (MCMs) has given way to a vast ecosystem of chiplets, 3D stacked die, and co-packaging of antenna, high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and optics. HI is at the center of “More than Moore” development activities, as innovative engineers look for creative ways to overcome the slower scaling of silicon technology. The promise of HI is new devices with superior power, performance, area, and cost (PPAC). All these promises come with new challenges. Managing different process nodes, physical characteristics, mechanical stresses, and other system-level challenges not found in monolithic system-on-chip (SoC) devices, creates a great opportunity for design and manufacturing companies to reshape our industry.
In this webinar, we’ll explore this enabling technology from both the device maker and material supplier perspectives. We will learn about demands placed on devices by new applications and what new tools are needed to meet these demands. We will also hear about the challenges placed on materials and equipment suppliers to develop processes capable of manufacturing the individual components and integrating them into final products. Join us as our panel of experts address the issues and opportunities involved with heterogeneous integration.

Enabling Heterogeneous Integration through Material Design
The realization of Heterogeneous Integration (HI) has been key in driving advancements in semiconductor technology. The complexities of integrating dissimilar materials continue to be a challenge for HI. All advanced packaging technologies rely on advanced materials to address the many challenges in achieving continued shrinking and improved performance of devices. Novel materials capable of managing mechanical stresses and increased thermal budgets with strict cleanliness requirements are required for processes such as wafer thinning, fan-out wafer-level packaging, and hybrid bonding. This presentation will highlight how advanced materials can address the growing challenges in the industry.
Dive into the dynamic world of semiconductor materials and discover the future landscape as the industry experts provide a glimpse into the future of the semiconductor ecosystem in the era of heterogenous integration.
