Designing 3D Packages for High Performance

Vern Solberg
Tessera Inc.

Miniaturization of electronic products such as wireless hand sets have driven the development of 3D Packaging, (2, 3 or more die within a single package outline).   3D Packaging improves performance by increasing in-package interconnect efficiency by more direct and shorter interconnects and can simplify the system board design.  This talk will focus on a number of new, low risk, sequentially assembled vertically stacked package innovations that can provide the potential for lowering manufacturing costs.

Radio Frequency Identification - The Sun Finally Shines on RFID

Dick Estes
Consultant to Dow Corning

RFID tags have been in the offing for some time now.  Their use in badges, subway turnstiles and other applications is well known.  With the recent push by WalMart and others for identification on shipment pallets, the door is being shoved open on this application.  Dick Estes will present on the RFID tag, what it is, how it is used, the technology, the hurdles to overcome and its bright future.

Killer MEMS Applications and their Packages

Ted Tessier
ST Assembly Test Services

The successful commercialization of MEMS applications has largely been dependent on the availability of affordable and reliable packaging solutions. Tthis presentation will provide an overview of specific packaging technologies that have enabled the emergence of 3 widely recognized “Killer MEMS” applications, namely digital imaging, automotive accelerometers and ink jet printing. The recent trend towards Wafer Level Capping of MEMS will also be discussed with its expected revolutionary impact to packaging.

VFM - Fundamentals, Capabilities and Applications

Dick Garard
Lambda Technologies


A practical and comparative overview of various thermal-processing techniques with a brief history of microwave processing will be presented. Variable Frequency Microwave processing for curing polymeric adhesives will be discussed. The fundamentals of microwave energy interactions with gases, liquids and solids (Si, SiO2, SiC, Si3N4, metals) will be explained from a microscopic level to a macroscopic level to real life applications. The effects of VFM on semiconductor functionality will be addressed specifically as it applies to front end and back end semiconductor processing, including: organic ILD dielectric curing; (PSB) passivation stress buffering; wafer level solder reflow; die attach; FC underfill; glob top curing and structural bonding. The strengths and the limitations of the VFM technology will be clearly identified.

A discussion on the Advantages of Integration in today’s Semiconductor Assembly and Test Facility

Leroy Christie
ASM Pacific

Automation has been the watchword of the semiconductor manufacturing world since the earliest days of the automated wire bonder. Today, the integration of these automated process stations brings the highest results out of your automatic tools. Leroy will discuss the advantages and disadvantages associated with integration and the commitments involved to make it happen.

Packaging and Thermal management of Power, Optical, and RF/Microwave devices using Al-Si “CE” Alloys

Stu Weinshanker
Osprey Metals Ltd, UK


The Osprey CE Alloys are lightweight, Binary, Al/Si alloys where the composition of Al and SI can be tailored to provide a specific coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) value anywhere in the range of 7-17 ppm/ºC. The alloys are manufactured by a proprietary spray-forming process, which promotes isotropic and optimum mechanical properties in the resultant products.
