Advanced Substrates Overview: From IC Package to Board - 2017 Report by Yole ...Yole Developpement
How can advanced substrates and boards bridge the gap created by front-end scaling?
Advanced substrates as a key enabler of future products and markets
In an uncertain, transformative semiconductor market, advanced packaging is one of the key technologies offering stability and a long-term solution. On one hand it can adapt to product diversification, offering more functionality, system integration, and performance, as well as potentially lower manufacturing cost; and on the other hand it can adhere to future scaling requirements. Advanced substrates are the key interconnect component of advanced packaging architectures and are critical in enabling future products and markets. For this reason, Yole has established this stand-alone dedicated advanced substrate activity, focused on exploring the market and technologies of PCBs, package substrates and RDLs. This first report will serve as an overview of advanced substrate technologies, markets, and supply chain, to be supported by subsequent in-depth reports.
Today’s advanced substrates in volume are Flip Chip (FC) substrates, 2.5D/3D TSV assemblies, and thin-film RDLs (Fan-Out WLP, or “FOWLP”) below an L/S resolution of 15/15 um and with transition below L/S < 10/10 um. These advanced substrates are traditionally linked to higher-end logic (CPUs/GPUs, DSPs, etc.) driven by ICs in the latest technology nodes in the computing, networking, mobile, and high-end consumer market segments (gaming, HD/Smart TV). However, due to additional form factor and low power demands, WLP and advanced FC substrates are also widespread in majority of smartphone functions: application processors, baseband, transceivers, filters, amplifiers, WiFi modules, drivers, codecs, power management, etc.

Status of Advanced Packaging - 2017 Report by Yole DeveloppementYole Developpement
How can advanced packaging decrease semiconductor market uncertainty and enable future semiconductor products?
From supporting technology to enabler of future semiconductor products
Future semiconductor drivers are expected to be fragmented and more diverse than in the mobile era. Scaling continues, but functionality and system level features are becoming increasingly important for product differentiation rather than raw computation power. An outlook into the future brings the Internet of Things (from end device to backbone infrastructure), including the Industrial Internet of Things, the semiconductorization of the automotive industry, 5G connectivity, augmented & virtual reality and artificial intelligence. In such an environment, advanced packaging is transforming from follower of scaling technology nodes to enabler of future semiconductor applications and products. Heterogeneous integration of multiple dies from the latest to legacy front-end nodes, involving a mixture of latest technology high density interconnects to lower cost mature interconnects, at high levels of customization is the future of packaging. Advanced packaging has direct impact on product success rates and semiconductor revenues.

TSV integration is creating growth and significant interest in the equipment & materials industry
Mainly supported today by flip-chip wafer bumping, the equipment market generated revenue of more than $930M in 2013. It is expected that this equipment market revenue will peak at almost $2.5B. It is fueled by the 3D IC technology with TSV interconnects, an area offering opportunities for new developments in equipment modification—equipment that is much more expensive than the tools used for established Advanced Packaging platforms (3D WLP, WLCSP, flip-chip wafer bumping). Indeed, 2015 will be the key turning point for the adoption of 3D TSV Stacks since the memory manufacturers, such as Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron, have already started to ship prototypes this year and might be ready to enter in high-volume manufacturing next year....

Thin wafer processing and Dicing equipment market - 2016 Report by Yole Devel...Yole Developpement
Strong demand for thinner wafers and smaller die is driving the evolution of dicing technologies
Demand for thinned wafers is growing strongly!
Driven by consumer applications such as smartphones, smart cards and stacked packages, the demand for thinned wafers has increased over recent years.
We estimate that the number of thinned wafers used for MEMS devices, CMOS Image Sensors, memory and logic devices, including those with TSVs, as well as and Power devices exceeded the equivalent of 16.5 million 8-inch wafer starts per year (WSPY) in 2015. This is mainly supported by CMOS Image Sensors, followed by Power devices. We expect that this number of thinned wafers will peak at the equivalent of almost 32 million 8-inch WSPY by 2020. This would represent a 14% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2015 to 2020.
Thinner wafers bring several benefits, including enabling very thin packaging, and therefore better form factors, improved electrical performance and high heat dissipation.
Miniaturization towards smaller, higher-performing, lower-cost device configurations has thinned wafers below 100 µm or even 50 µm for some applications, such as memory and power devices.
Forecasts for the number of thinned wafers by thickness and by application are analyzed in this report. It also includes insights on the number of thinning tools, breakdowns by wafer size, and technological highlights affecting the applications mentioned above...

Market & Technology Trends in Materials and Equipement for Printed and Flexib...Yole Developpement
Combined flexible & printed electronic applications could reach US$1B in 2020. Multiple applications are driving growth!
TECHNICAL CHALLENGES ARE CLOSE TO BEING OVERCOME TO REACH US$1B MARKET BY 2020
Today flexible & printed electronics create a lot of hope. And a supply chain is being created to support an industrial infrastructure. In our report, we have identified and tracked the five main functionalities of flexible & printed electronics: displaying, sensing, lighting, energy generating and substrates. The different degrees of freedom in flexibility that can be obtained can be divided into:
- Conformable substrate: the flexible substrate will be shaped in a definitive way after processing
- “Bendable” substrate: they can be rolled and bent many times (even if we consider it will not be a key feature coming from customer needs)
- “Unused” flexibility: in the end, the flexibility is not an added value to the customer
We believe some applications will be more likely than other to be successful – for example, bendable applications will undergo tough stress during use and technological challenges will be hard to overcome. Our report shows the distinction between the functions (displaying, lighting, energy conversion, sensing & substrates) and the seek flexibility “degree of freedom”. We do not make the distinction in our report between organic and inorganic substrates as semiconductors can also be used as flexible substrates.
However, we believe over the next several years, the number of applications using printing processes for flexible electronics will grow (Figure on page 2).
We estimate the printed & flexible electronics market will grow from ~ $176M in 2013 to ~$950M in 2020 with a 27% CAGR in market value. Printed OLED displays for large size (TVs) are likely to become the largest market. For OLED lighting, we believe it will grow but remain a niche market for automotive and/ or office lighting. For PV, the market demand by 2020 will remain very low compared to the demand for rigid PV, largely below 1% of the global market demand by 2020. Sensor, smart system & polytronic applications will include sensors, touchless / touch screens, RF ID applications.
A WIDE, EXCITING RANGE OF NEW APPLICATIONS
Printed & flexible electronics is a new exiting technology with large potential market expectations. Indeed, as semiconductors move to the very small with 22nm critical dimension, printed electronics moves to the other end of the spectrum with its own material, equipment, process challenges and supply chain. Printed electronics will not kill semiconductor electronics as it will not be a replacement for CMOS silicon.

Ericsson Technology Review, issue #2, 2016Ericsson
The latest issue of Ericsson Technology Review covers a wide range of topics including narrowband Internet of Things, the next-generation central office, telco-grade platform as a service, 4G/5G RAN architecture, and cloud robotics enabled by 5G. The feature story – Five trends shaping innovation in ICT – presents what I consider to be the major technology trends that will stimulate innovation in the coming year. Do you agree with me? I’d love to hear from you with any feedback you might have.
If I were to suggest one takeaway from all of the articles included in this issue, I would say it is speed. Device processing is getting faster, data speeds are constantly increasing and radio speeds are approaching those of fiber. More people are becoming subscribers, more things are becoming connected and more applications are running constantly. Developers of new technologies are working hard to enhance responsiveness by reducing latency, a key performance parameter. The capability to determine which functions can be virtualized to maximize ideal placement in the network and ensure low latency is one of the primary driving factors behind the proposed split of radio-access architecture discussed in this issue.
As always, I hope you find our stories relevant and inspiring.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

3D Stacking with TSVs is a Viable Option
3DIC will be adopted for high-end applications
• No more doubts about that, since all key players have shown the
technology on their roadmaps and real samples have already
been shipped. 2015 will be the year for TSVs adoption.
The question about 3D adoption still remaining is: How and when will
this really happen for the consumer market, where cost is so critical?
• Manufacturing costs require further reduction; equipment and
materials suppliers, in collaboration with major players, are
continuing their developments in this area to enable the industry
to bring 3DIC on the consumer market.
The path is open for the heterogeneous integration of devices:
• MEMS are being integrated onto ASIC dies connected with TSVs
• Since node scaling is becoming more and more challenging and
costly, 3D stacking using TSVs is definitely going to be (and
already is) a viable option.
