Congratulations to Aurélia Plihon for her "Outstanding Interactive Presentation Paper" award at ECTC 2022!
After completing an #engineering school in materials and a 5-year experience abroad, Aurélia joined CEA-Leti intending to work on integrating innovative 3D packaging processes, in particular Fan Out Wafer-Level Packaging (FOWLP). FOWLP involves rebuilding wafers from different chips that can be placed one on top of the other, all molded from a silica-filled epoxy (EMC: Epoxy Molding Compound). Vertical interconnections, called TMI (Through Molding Interconnection), were developed to link the chips together. She was awarded for developing a simple integration of these TMIs.
- Aurelia and her team achieved impressive results and reached TMIs with an unprecedented height-to-pitch ratio, with a 225 μm height, a 50 µm diameter, and a pitch of only 100 μm.
With these results, Aurélia offers a simple solution for achieving state-of-the-art high aspect ratio vertical interconnects. It will make it possible to develop more complex integrations with a high density in FOWLP applications.
