As chipmakers delve into smaller and smaller nodes, stacking and die-bonding wafers has become a preferred way of creating more processing power in a smaller space. Stacked and bonded wafers don’t behave the same way as 2D wafers: Wafers are thinned prior to bonding, which results in wafers that can sag when handled Bonded wafers are thicker and heavier than 2D wafers when assembled Bonded wafers can also warp following assembly Many automation tools rely on the predictable geometry and characteristics of 2D silicon wafers for safe handling and transport. While stacked and bonded wafers are a game-changer for miniaturization, they can also force manufacturing compromises unless chipmakers adopt specialized tools for the back end of the line (BEOL). - [mailto:solutions@entegris.com](mailto:solutions@entegris.com) - November 20, 2024 ## [Mastering the SiC Wafer Transition](https://blog.entegris.com/mastering-the-sic-wafer-transition) The use of silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors offers a huge advantage for electric vehicles (EVs) due to lower switching losses and higher efficiencies, but cost has always been a drawback. SiC wafer manufacturing can suffer from high costs and lower yields, causing SiC semiconductors to cost up to eight times more than their silicon equivalents. This cost often gets passed on to the end customer, making EVs more expensive. - [mailto:solutions@entegris.com](mailto:solutions@entegris.com) - November 12, 2024 ## [What is the Inkjet Cartridge Effect in Air Filtration Performance?](https://blog.entegris.com/what-is-the-inkjet-cartridge-effect-in-air-filtration-performance) A “one size fits all” approach for chemical air filtration entails a productivity and safety risk in commercial environments reliant on pure air quality. Trying to use one type of chemical air filter for every scenario may provide protection, but without optimization the protection is both limited and temporary. - [mailto:solutions@entegris.com](mailto:solutions@entegris.com) - July 8, 2024 ## [Sharing Semiconductor Industry Sustainability Plans at the SEMI Earth Month Lightning Talks](https://blog.entegris.com/paola-gonzalez-lighting-talks) In recognition of Earth Day, SEMI’s Climate Equity & Social Impact Working Group (CESI) organized a series of lighting talks from member organizations to highlight their progress on sustainability. We heard from companies around the semiconductor industry, as well as Entegris engineer Paola Gonzalez. They shared a number of different strategies for mitigating climate impact. Here are some of the key takeaways. - [mailto:solutions@entegris.com](mailto:solutions@entegris.com) - May 13, 2024 ## [One in a Billion: AMC Filtration Essential to a Safer, Healthy Environment](https://blog.entegris.com/one-in-a-billion-amc-filtration-essential-to-a-safer-healthy-environment) Airborne molecular contamination (AMC) is common to every environment. These contaminants are not physical particles such as those found in airborne dust or pathogens. AMC is gas molecules that are part of and move with air. These molecules are the result of outgassing or emissions from virtually anything that can be found in a given setting, from humans and animals to equipment, materials and processes, as well as external AMC sources. Sensitivity to these gases varies widely in each environment. - [mailto:solutions@entegris.com](mailto:solutions@entegris.com) - April 4, 2024 ## [Hydrogen Gas: Revolutionizing Semiconductors and Clean Energy](https://blog.entegris.com/hydrogen-gas-revolutionizing-semiconductors-and-clean-energy) Hydrogen composes about 75% by mass of the normal matter in the universe, existing as H2 gas under standard conditions. This abundance of supply creates opportunities in numerous applications, including semiconductor manufacturing, for which hydrogen is considered a bulk gas and is employed in many parts of the ecosystem. - [mailto:solutions@entegris.com](mailto:solutions@entegris.com) - December 14, 2023 ## [Automotive Reliability and Semiconductor Manufacturing: How Far Did We Come?](https://blog.entegris.com/automotive-reliability-and-semiconductor-manufacturing-how-far-did-we-come) Last year, Semiconductor Digest assembled six panelists from the world's leading semiconductor and automotive manufacturers and suppliers - including Volkswagen, Texas Instruments, Robert Bosch, Hyperion, and KLA, and Entegris - and asked them about the state of automotive electronics. They discussed issues such as the shift to automotive quad computing, the emphasis on infotainment, and the rise of alternative vehicle technologies such as electrification and self-driving. - [mailto:solutions@entegris.com](mailto:solutions@entegris.com) - November 8, 2023 ## [Creating a Future-Proof Materials Ecosystem for the $1T Semiconductor Era](https://blog.entegris.com/creating-a-future-proof-materials-ecosystem-for-the-1t-semiconductor-era) Growth is good; no one in the semiconductor industry would argue this point. And according to Gartner, there’s a lot of “good” on the horizon. Current forecasts call for semiconductor sales to more than double in this decade, going from $400 billion in 2020 to $1T by 2030. With growth, however, come growing pains. To reach the heights of $1T-plus in semiconductor sales, the industry must evolve by significantly increasing not only the amount of wafers and wafer starts annually but also the amount of investment in equipment and materials. Semiconductor materials consumption during the same decade is expected to double as well. This creates great opportunity for materials suppliers, but it also will mean taking a hard look at the materials supply chain – what are the challenges, and how can they be addressed? - [mailto:solutions@entegris.com](mailto:solutions@entegris.com) - October 16, 2023 ## [New Materials: Smoothing the Transition to Molybdenum](https://blog.entegris.com/new-materials-smoothing-the-transition-to-molybdenum) Changing one material in the semiconductor manufacturing process has a cascading effect on multiple process steps. Consider the replacement of tungsten (W) and copper (Cu) with molybdenum (Mo). Integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) are implementing Mo in advanced designs, focusing on 2-nanometer (nm) nodes and below. Mo is highly conductive, can be deposited without a titanium or titanium nitrid - [mailto:solutions@entegris.com](mailto:solutions@entegris.com) - September 25, 2023 ## [Not Your Average Wafer: Solving CMP Challenges in High-Volume SiC Production](https://blog.entegris.com/not-your-average-wafer-solving-cmp-challenges-in-high-volume-sic-production) Silicon carbide (SiC) has become popular with chipmakers. Its wide-bandgap structure offers many design benefits for the operations of power semiconductors. Compared to silicon, SiC wafers enable the fabrication of faster, more efficient devices that can both operate at higher temperatures and remain stable when deployed in extreme temperature environments. Processing SiC wafers using the same materials and methods as silicon wafers is not a viable option, however. - [mailto:solutions@entegris.com](mailto:solutions@entegris.com) - September 12, 2023 ## [Putting Filtration to Work for Photoresist Contamination Control](https://blog.entegris.com/putting-filtration-to-work-for-photoresist-contamination-control) If you asked a semiconductor process engineer to name their biggest challenge when tackling the next technology node, they would likely tell you it is figuring out how to achieve high device yields. This is mainly due to an increase in possible points of contamination as the number of potential contaminants grows and their sizes shrink. It is becoming particularly difficult to detect metal contaminants and pinpoint their root cause so they can be eliminated. That’s because they can form anywhere in the process flow. - [mailto:solutions@entegris.com](mailto:solutions@entegris.com) - July 27, 2023 ## [Targeted Removal: Beyond the Coffee Filter Analogy](https://blog.entegris.com/targeted-removal-beyond-the-coffee-filter-analogy) In the early days of semiconductor manufacturing, fabs would remove contaminants from their process fluids in a sequence that could be analogized to making a cup of coffee. By using a filter with tiny pores, large contaminants (coffee grounds) are separated from water. Because the coffee grounds are too large to pass through the filter, they can’t pass into the coffee we drink. - [mailto:solutions@entegris.com](mailto:solutions@entegris.com) - June 12, 2023 - [Entegris (109)](https://blog.entegris.com/author/entegris) -
