Keynote – Simon McElrea

Interconnectology is everything involved with getting “Silicon into Systems”: a holistic approach describing both technical interconnection and supply chain partnership interconnection. Nowhere does this concept apply more than in the commercialization of 2.5D and 3D integration technologies. From design, to processes, and equipment and material development, to manufacturing and test, 2.5D interposer products and 3D ICs require collaboration across the value chain to achieve high yielding devices, optimum cost-of-ownership and rapid time-to-market: all critical elements for today’s consumer-driven market. Further, the middle-end-of-line (MEOL) processes require engineering knowledge that spans front- and back-end processing through to packaging, assembly and test. Consumer trends that are bringing about the need for Interconnectology to be adopted as a concept industry wide were discussed.
