Improved materials are required for progress in fields including printed electronics, semiconductors, aerospace & defense, energy, and life sciences/medical care.  Developing such materials and chemicals involves considerations of performance, cost, manufacturability, safety, and stability.  Scaling production of new materials is a very different challenge than making 50 grams in a laboratory.  Transitioning/commercializing new materials is a separate effort where intellectual property, regulation, quality control, system documentation, supply chain development, and business relationships become key.  This talk will address these aspects of introducing a new material into our enterprise.

Are We There Yet? Metrology and Inspection for Angstrom-Level Manufacturing ​

In the semiconductor industry where we routinely pattern sub-wavelength structures and require atomic-layer precision in our manufacturing processes, it’s easy to assume that we can simply measure everything we’re doing and all the structures we create. In reality, though, metrology and inspection have the challenging task of not just keeping up with device technology but staying far enough ahead that we can actually “see” our results and confirm the progress we’re making.

In this webinar, co-hosted with the Electronics business of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany; we will explore the metrology and inspection space to learn more about technological advances driving this vital segment of semiconductor manufacturing.

The webinar will feature presentations by Eric Beyne, PhD, Senior Fellow, VP R&D and Director of 3D System Integration Program for imec, and Dario Alliata, PhD, Senior Application Director for Metrology & Inspection at the Electronics business of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany.

Following the presentations, an interactive Q&A segment will allow attendees a chance to deepen their understanding of how materials innovation and advanced metrology intersect at the leading edge of manufacturing.

Join us to engage with peers and pioneers working at the forefront of materials science and semiconductor innovation!

The Role & the Challenge of Metrology and Inspection in Advanced Packaging of AI Chips

The massive adoption of social networking and artificial intelligence has pushed the semiconductor industry to develop devices capable of supporting the required infrastructures. Increasingly powerful computer process units (CPU) are used to allow data centers to process trillions of information exchanges, while faster graphic process units (GPU) enable virtual and assisted reality.
Cost leveraging is now reachable with the integration of multiple dies in the same package, each one fabricated to handle specific functionalities with the most cost-effective technology node, which is a form of heterogeneous integration. This session highlights some examples of metrology and inspection solutions aimed at securing the manufacturability of devices for High Computing Power fundamental for AI applications. More in detail, it explores the challenge of the fabrication of chip-to-chip interconnections that are key for the heterogeneous integration of active components with vertical stacking like DRAM for High Bandwidth memories, where process tolerances are increasingly narrow and conditions to measure more and more extremes.

Biography
Dr. Dario Alliata joined Unity-SC, now part of the Electronics business of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany in the U.S. and Canada. In 2016 as product manager and is now Sr. Director of Applications with focus on Advanced packaging and Specialty substrates & devices.
He worked in the semiconductor industry for more than 25 years, initially in R&D centers and later in equipment makers. He spent his entire career developing process control solutions for securing the manufacturing chain in the semiconductor industry.
He received a MD in Physics from the University of Milan (Italy) and hold a Ph.D. in Physics & Chemistry from the University of Berne (Switzerland).

Sub-Micron Pitch Scaling of Hybrid Bond Interconnects: Metrology Challenges

Advanced 3D integration technology will increasingly rely on hybrid bonding technology for both wafer-to-wafer and die-to-wafer bonding. This allows for micrometer and sub-micrometer pitch interconnects, resulting in very high 3D interconnect densities, compatible with the back-end-of -line interconnect layers of active logic and memory die. The results are “seamlessly” interconnected die. Off-chip interconnects become equivalent (or better) than on-chip interconnects.
These great system-level benefits however come at some challenges. Small overlay errors or surface imperfections can prevent defects, resulting in yield loss. Critical process, steps, such as CMP, wafer dicing and surface cleaning steps, need to be monitored with higher accuracy to maintain a good process. New parameters, such as wafer shape, distortion, surface profile slopes, and copper pad recess levels need to be measured and continuously monitored. This poses significant challenges to metrology related to hybrid bonding. The presentation will highlight these needs and show some practical solutions.

Biography
Eric Beyne obtained a degree in electrical engineering in 1983 and the Ph.D. in Applied Sciences in 1990, both from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium. Since 1986 he has been with IMEC in Leuven, Belgium where he has worked on advanced packaging and interconnect technologies. Currently, he is imec senior fellow, VP R&D and program director of imec’s 3D System Integration program.

As world leaders act to secure access to these minerals, companies come under pressure to follow due diligence guidelines to promote ethical sourcing of these materials for their supply chains.  Regulations such as the US Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Section 1502), EU Regulation 2017/821 and the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive require companies to trace materials through their supply chains and report to the public about their use of conflict minerals. 

Several industry associations, including the Responsible Business Alliance’s Responsible Minerals Initiative, were created to help companies with their due diligence efforts. Reports such as those issued by the US Government Accountability Office on Conflict Minerals offer insights into the efficacy of these regulations and suggest improved approaches for industry engagement. 

The SEMI Responsible Supply Chain (RSC) working group was recently formed to host discussions on these topics. This webinar will provide insights from speakers Jennifer Peyser, Responsible Business Alliance Senior Vice President of Responsible Sourcing, and Kimberly Gianopoulos, Managing Director for the International Affairs and Trade team at the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO).
