3.5D: The Great Compromise

The semiconductor industry is converging on 3.5D as the next best option in advanced packaging, a hybrid approach that includes stacking logic chiplets and bonding them separately to a substrate shared by other components. In this Semiconductor Engineering article,...

Why Small Fab And Assembly Houses Are Thriving

High-volume products get more than their fair share of attention in the semiconductor world, but most chips don’t fit into that category. While a few huge fabs and offshore assembly and test (OSAT) houses process enormous volumes of chips, small fabs and packaging...

How Does Your Med Device Stack Up?

Mechanical tolerance issues can wreak havoc on manufacturing your integrated microelectronic medical device, adding unnecessary costs and delays throughout the product development process and negatively impacting final functional yield. Promex COO and VP of...

Sensor Packaging: Critical MEMS Considerations

Sensor packaging, particularly for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), is a critical aspect of modern electronics. MEMS developers have demonstrated a variety of innovative microsensors for almost every possible sensing modality including temperature, pressure,...
