Packaging Summit

 

July 15, 2008
10:30am–12:30pm

 

It's a 3D World: Charting the Path to TSV

3D Through Silicon Via (TSV) technology is one of the hottest topics in the industry today. Potential applications for 3D TSV include image sensors, flash, DRAM, processors, FPGAs, and power amplifiers. There is no question that 3D TSV will be adopted, but the timing for mass production depends on how the cost of the new technology compares with that of existing technologies. While image sensors for camera modules are already in volume production, the adoption time for other applications is longer than originally predicted, as is common with the introduction of many new technologies. Design, thermal, and test issues remain a barrier to TSV adoption in some applications, though progress is being made.

The Packaging Summit will be a forum for industry experts and technologists to address 3D TSV.

Presentations will be posted as SEMI receives permission from the authors.
