JTI ENIAC
Miniaturisation and more functionality open new markets and better life quality by mobile communication, safety and health supporting devices especially for elder people. Higher system integration in nanoelectronics applying technologies like multi-chip packaging, through silicon via technologies or package stacking approaches are becoming of highest importance. Market studies show that System-in-Package (SiP) will have an average growth of > 10% per year over the next 5 years. For some market segments this increase will be even higher than 20%. With growing integration of more and more functionality into smaller and smaller packages more and more challenges will appear for reliability, failure analysis, and testing.
In the ESiP project we will study reliability, failures and investigate testing for high density silicon multi-chip integration. This includes the study of new reliability targets and methods, new methods of failure characterization for highly integrated systems, new failure modes, known good die (KGD) testing, test strategies and methodologies for System-in-Package. The project starts at the silicon level, but includes also the interaction of the chip/package system with the board, which will become more and more important in the future. Partners of the full value chain participate in ESiP: semiconductor suppliers, system houses, test and analytical equipment suppliers and material suppliers are involved to reach the project targets. The results achieved for reliability, failure analysis and test methods will be assessed by industrial relevant test vehicles. Integrated silicon samples will be designed that are applicable for medical or communication applications.
The project will consist of 41 partners with complementary skills from 9 European countries. The magnitude of countries and partners involved demonstrates that "More than Moore" and System-in-Package is of large strategic relevance for Europe.
