Title: 3D IC, Advanced Packaging, and Heterogeneous Integration
Date: 2021/03/04 (Thursday) 3:30 pm – 5:20pm
Location: Engineering 5 Building B1 International Conference Hall
Abstract: 3D integration, advanced packaging, and heterogeneous integration have become more and more significant in current electronic products and applications because of their flexibility and ability to integrate different substrates, functions, devices, and products together with small form factor and low power consumption. These schemes are not only treated as candidates to extend “Moore’s Law”, but also to perform the concept of “More than Moore”. In addition, since current semicondutor development especially fcous on the potential and demands of AI and IOT. 3D Integration, advanced packaging, and advanced packaging provide the solutions to fabrications and platforms of various advanced electronic products. This lecture will start from the introduction of current status, including the history background and current semiconductor status. Schemes of 3D integration and advanced packaging such as 3D, 2.5D (interposer and CoWoS), and 2.1D (fanout and InFO) will be introduced. Key technologies, efforts, current applications, and achievements will be presented as well. Finally, current status, challenges, and outlook will be discussed.
