Intevac to Present Fan-Out Packaging Results at IMAPS Device Packaging Conference 2018

Intevac, Inc. (Nasdaq: IVAC), a leading supplier of thin-film processing systems, today announced its participation in the 14th International Conference and Exhibition on Device Packaging (IMAPS DPC 2018). The company will present its technical paper on "Linear Transport Degas, Pre-Clean, and PVD Processes for RDL Barrier/Seed Formation in Fan-Out Packaging,” at 4:30pm Wednesday afternoon, March 7th, 2018, at the WekoPa Resort in Fountain Hills, Arizona.

Intevac is also pleased to announce recognition by the IWLPC Technical Committee regarding Best Presentation & Papers Awards for IWLPC 2017, based on the combination of technical merit, relevance, originality, knowledge of subject, quality of material, and quality of presentation. Intevac received the Best of Advanced Manufacturing and Test Track Paper Award for its paper on "Process and Productivity Results from a Carrier-Based Linear Transport PVD Systems for RDL Seed Layer Deposition in Fan-Out Packaging Applications.”

Semiconductor device packaging technology in general, and fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) / fan-out panel-level packaging (FOPLP) technology in particular, is being driven by the strong cost advantages these advanced packaging technologies offer over the expense of implementing continued Moore's Law progress for sub-10nm semiconductor IC process nodes. Fan-out packaging provides for increased I/O (Input/Output) density for a given semiconductor device while simultaneously supporting smaller packaged die sizes, thereby reducing the amount of space integrated circuit content occupies in handheld consumer electronic products, such as smartphones, wearables, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

The INTEVAC MATRIX® is a high-productivity, substrate-independent thin-film processing platform that is well-positioned for multiple fan-out packaging applications. The MATRIX Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) system offers a much-reduced cost of ownership (COO) over the current PVD process tools being used for Redistribution Layer (RDL) barrier/seed layer applications, and also offers the flexibility to run multiple substrates on the same system, from 300mm wafer-level (round) substrates to panel-level (square or rectangular) substrates, which today are up to 680mm on a side.
