SEMI spoke with Christian Driller, Vice President of Research and Development at Comet Yxlon, about opportunities to accelerate time-to-market and increase yield for advanced packaging manufacturers through x-ray inspection.

Focusing on applications that help assist movement in people with neuromotor disorders & aging muscle, Georgia Tech is developing a flexible system that uses sensory feedback through EMG to assess muscle and motor neuron health and augments strength through pneumatically actuated artificial muscle.

Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) players are poised to seize a new growth opportunity after the chip shortage pushed manufacturers to announce fab capacity expansions worldwide. Driven by the wafer production volume increase, ALD solutions are now expected to grow and enter the MtM devices market.

The latest MEMS and sensors advancements in markets ranging from displays to biotech and in key areas of manufacturing including sensor devices and fabrication came into sharp focus at the 2022 MEMS & Sensors Technical Congress (MSTC) in late April as 120+ industry experts gathered in Berkeley, CA.

Anna Fontanelli, Monozukuri’s founder and CEO, is an expert in deep-submicron silicon technology and design tools shares her view on the state of Moore’s Law and challenges surrounding 2.5D integration, 3D chip stacking & advanced packaging, as well as the chip design industry’s startup environment.

As we pass the work-from-home one-year mark, most of us still work remotely and will do so for the foreseeable future. As live trade shows and technical conferences were cancelled one after the other, virtual events became the norm. And, teleconferencing became a way of life. While possibly...
