“Don’t Forget the Package: Establishing Domestic Heterogeneous Integration Capability”
Thursday, March 2 at 1:00pm
Delivered Via Zoom
Abstract
The recent passage of the CHIPS legislation has initiated a new era of semiconductor technology growth in the United States, with the goal of re-establishing advanced domestic microelectronics manufacturing to support both commercial and government applications. While much of the focus in the re-shoring discussion has been on leading edge foundry capability, heterogeneous integration (HI) and advanced packaging (AP) technologies are critically important in establishing a complete ecosystem to support domestic microelectronics. As HI architectures are viewed as crucial enablers for next generation microsystems to maintain performance improvements that are difficult and costly to achieve through foundry node advancement, establishing these technologies onshore will be a priority. This presentation will discuss details around this unique opportunity to establish a comprehensive domestic integration and packaging manufacturing capability and SkyWater’s efforts to establish an open foundry model to support interposer fabrication, FOWLP, and hybrid bonding technologies.
