Talking Points
Interconnectology: Inspiring a Paradigm Shift
Here is BiTS Workshop’s answer to the panel discussion. Co-produced with 3D InCites and Impress Labs, this special segment was presented in a Letterman/Leno inspired ‘talk show’ format hosted by the Queen of 3D, Françoise von Trapp and features guest appearances by interconnectology experts.
There is a grass-roots initiative to introduce terminology to semiconductor manufacturing that better defines processes used to build the next-generation of IC devices. Rather than ‘advanced packaging’, the emphasis should be placed on the ‘advanced interconnect’ step. Where packaging used to be about protection, electrical connection and thermal management, it is now more about pitch translation, and the terminology should reflect that. Additionally, a specialized skillset has been defined to support these processes that overlap wafer-level and packaging skills. This knowledge base includes materials science, mechanical and electrical engineering. As such, Interconnectologists specializing in Interconnectology will carve a new space in the industry.
