Mainstream goes 3D packaging, not towards EUV flatness
Unable to significantly break through a bottleneck in the technical development of the key photolithography in the 32-nanometer-and-below production process, semiconductor makers worldwide have been eager to seek new alternative solutions in packaging technologies, resulting in a delay of their upgrading the 32-nano and below process.
Recently, at the International Microsystems, Packaging, Assembly and Circuits Technology (IMPACT) Conference 2007, which took place in Taipei from Oct.1 to 3, quite a few attendees reached a consensus that 3D packaging technologies will become the mainstream solutions in the future.
