At ECTC 2023, which took place earlier this month, the password was hybrid bonding. In this episode, you’ll hear from our member companies that specialize in hybrid bonding solutions: Adeia, EV Group, and Onto Innovation. You’ll also hear about a novel die-to-wafer process technology from CEA Leti, and an alternative to Die-to-wafer hybrid bonding being developed by the UCLA CHIPS program.

Thomas Uhrmann, Markus Wimplinger, and Dave Kirsch, EVGroup, talk about the company’s capabilities in supporting both wafer-to-wafer hybrid bonding, and the work being done at the Heterogeneous Integration Competency Center in Austria.

Adeia’s Laura Mirkarimi and Abul Nuruzzaman, pioneers of hybrid bonding, help dispel some misconceptions about the commercialization of Die-to-wafer hybrid bonding. They talk about the advantages of investing in not only the technology license but the technology transfer.

Monica Pau, Onto Innovation, talks about the events focused on hybrid bonding, but also some insights into glass core IC substrates, and Onto Innovation's capabilities in both.

Emilie Bourjot, CEA-Leti, describes a novel self-assembly process that allows for improved alignment accuracy and increased throughput during die-to-wafer hybrid bonding.

Subu Iyer, of UCLA CHIPS, offers a new approach to copper-to-copper thermocompression bonding that he says provides an alternative to die-to-wafer hybrid bonding.

Next up on the 3D InCites Podcast: On July 6, Dave Thomas, of KLA’s SPTS division will talk about the advantages of plasma dicing for die-to-wafer hybrid bonding. That episode is sponsored by KLA.
