Technology Readiness Overview - Embedded Actives - Manufacturability Concerns

Producability and Manufacturability Concerns

 

Some of the concerns for broad application of embedded die technology are die availability, known good die (KGD) testing, rework and non-reparability of the finished assembly, and electrical connection between stacked assemblies and with the outside world.

 

Die Availability

The die availability issue is improving with time.   Dynalog Systems, Inc. has invited a number of the die manufacturers to join the Die Products Consortium, which is a collaborative effort of over a dozen major microelectronic companies to expand the market for semiconductor bare die products and processes. Information on them is available at http://www.dieproduct.com.   Table 1 presents the results of a survey of additional available bare die.
