Abstract

IMEC is focusing its 3D-integration technology developments in 3 distinct directions: 3D-System-in-a-Package (3D-SiP), 3D-Wafer-Level-Packaging (3D-WLP) and 3D-Stacked-IC (3D-SiC). First, the background of these separate approaches will be given. Next the materials and technologies involved, the typical characteristics and the ongoing developments will be discussed. Finally, the roadmap for the 3D-integration in IMEC will be presented.
