Following the ITRS roadmap with CMOS downscaling is the traditional way to proceed. But the R&D expenses to sustain such a roadmap are extremely selective. Only a few companies or consortia can afford it. That’s why advanced CMOS technology could start to be seen as a kind of commodity and integration with new solutions appears as a much stronger differentiator element. Packaging contributions...
Why are fan-out wafer-level packages (WLP) one of the hottest topics in
the advanced packaging arena these days? The short answer is that they
enable thinner, smaller packages.One of the most well known
examples of a fan-out WLP structure is Infineon’s (www.infineon.com;
Neubiberg, Germany) embedded wafer-level ball grid array (eWLB)
technology. This technology uses a combination of front- ...
Wafer level cameras represent a tantalising opportunity to substantially decrease the cost and form factor of solid state camera modules. After many years of endeavour, successful integration of the technologies necessary to manufacture true wafer level cameras was announced in 2007. While there is great potential for these cameras on mobile platforms, OEMs are reluctant to design-in product ...
In a word, Sony’s new backside illuminated image sensor process can be described as exotic. The obvious highlights are the conventional CMOS process run on a sacrificial SOI starting wafer, the wafer bonding techniques for the carrier wafer, and the backside wire bonding – but the innovation doesn’t stop there. This device uses three types of isolation, unconventional liners on the ...
