RADFIELD, AUSTRIA technology for chip stacking applications.
EMC-3D is addressing the technical, integration and economic
issues of creating 3-D interconnects using TSV technology for chip
stacking and advanced MEMS/sensors packaging. Through collaboration
with research partners, the consortium will develop unit processes
for creating micro-vias between 5 and 30 �m on 50�m thinned 200mm
and 300mm wafers using via-first and die-to-wafer techniques. The
primary goals of the consortium are to create a robust integrated
process flow at a cost of less than $200USD per wafer.
Datacon provides die bonding and sorting equipment used in
advanced assembly by the semiconductor and telecommunications
industries. One of the key integration issues in 3D interconnect is
the efficiency and accuracy of the die-to-wafer attach for both TSV
and MEMS/sensor applications.
"One of the challenging integration issues of TSV is the
die-to-wafer bonding and the cost associated with this step," said
Markus Wimplinger, EMC3D board member and director of business unit
technology development at EV Group. "Datacon will bring a
significant expertise needed to achieve the aggressive goals of the
EMC3D consortium."
About Datacon
Datacon Technology GmbH is a leading global manufacturer of die
bonding & sorting equipment for the semiconductor,
telecommunication and automotive industries. Datacon was founded in
1986 and since the beginning of 2005 has been part of the Dutch
Besi group (BE Semiconductor Industries N.V.), an international
group of companies operating in the semiconductor industry.
Datacon's primary expertise is the development and production of
high-precision assembly equipment for the advanced packaging
market.
About EMC-3D (or EMC3D)
EMC3D (Semiconductor 3D Equipment and Materials Consortium) was
created in October 2006 to develop a new 3D market and technology
by demonstrating a cost-effective, manufacturable, stackable TSV
interconnection process for IC and MEMS/Sensor packaging.
