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.

Analysts are required to understand a variety of disciplines in order to effectively perform failure analysis. This requires knowledge of subjects like design, testing, technology, processing materials science, chemistry, and even optics. Failed devices and low yields can lead to customer returns and idle manufacturing lines, costing a company millions of dollars a day. This course is designed for every manager, engineer, and technician working in the semiconductor field, using semiconductor components and supplying tools to the industry. 

Course Objectives

  1. This seminar will provide participants with an overview of the tools, techniques, and processes used in failure and yield analysis.
  2. Participants will be able to determine how to proceed with a submitted request for analysis, ensuring that the analysis is done with the greatest probability of success.
  3. The seminar will identify the advantages and disadvantages of a wide variety of tools and techniques that are used for failure and yield analysis.
