Heterogeneous Integration for Future High Speed Communication

Biography
Julius Hållstedt has since 2009 worked in global deep/high tech companies with development, implementation and market introduction of various X-ray analysis solutions for both research and industrial applications.

He is currently the head of segment for semiconductor and electronics at Excillum, with the main focus on addressing the metrology challenge the industry is facing due to the increased complexity with smaller dimensions, increased dense packing and 3-dimensional structures causing many existing measurement techniques to run out of steam. Excillum based in Kista, Sweden develops and manufactures the world's most advanced X-ray sources based on unique technology originally developed by researchers at KTH and Julius' main task now is to create business and partner collaborations with global players to implement Excillum's solutions in the leading electronics and semi R&D and manufacturing sites around in the world.

Julius Hållstedt obtained his Master of Science degree in materials science in 2002 and his doctorate in solid state electronics in 2007 from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm.

Benoit Quesson (1979) is a senior scientist in the Acoustic Sensor & Sonar Systems department of TNO (NL) working on the development of semicon acoustic metrology. He graduated from ESEO (École supérieure d'électronique de l'Ouest) in France in 2003 with a specialization in signal processing. After a graduation internship in the Sonar and Acoustic department of TNO, he was hired in 2003 in the same department. Until 2016, he worked mostly in signal processing on sonar applications. Since 2017, he started to investigate NDT technologies and more specifically the use of acoustics in semicon metrology applications. He was involved in particular in the branch of a TNO Early Research Program (ERP) that investigated the scaling of transducers to GHz frequencies and their use for metrology. His expertise covers modeling, conduction of experiments, data analysis and system design.
