Contact Brian S. and Kristie Bowman for details on the BYO!

In his latest IFTLE blog post on TSMC's promise to deliver 9X reticle size CoWoS technology by 2027, Philip Garrou asks: Since one of the drivers for glass interposers has purported to be the ability to manufacture larger dimension substrates, does this silicon capability by TSMC to go 9X reticle put more pressure on those favoring glass in the future due to size requirements?

Congratulations to our Member of the Week, DR YIELD! Congratulations to DR YIELD – our last member of the week for 2025! December 8 is an important date for Dieter Rathei, DR YIELD’s founder. In addition to being a public holiday in Austria, it’s also the day he started developing the idea for the company. DR Yield officially opened in March 2005. Rathei’s goal was always to create a solution that made yield management easier, faster, and more reliable for the semiconductor industry around the world. Today, that goal continues to drive everything they do. The company’s product, YieldWatchDog is a smart software solution that turns raw data into actionable insights. Advanced analytics unlock the patterns and trends you need to make smarter decisions and drive results. AI helps you find problems faster with Multivariate Monitoring. It identifies the best and worst tool combinations. It also uses machine learning to automate wafer map pattern detection.   Last month, at SEMICON Europa, DR YIELD’s Annika Schnell received SEMI Europe’s 20 Under 30 Award for her profound product expertise and diligent project management. The award recognizes industry leaders who are on the move. The company also expanded its operations and sales & marketing teams with two new hires, Clara Perez and Sarah Julian. D.R. YIELD celebrates 20 years in March 2025. We can’t wait to see what’s next for this vibrant company. 

Did you know that over the next five years, Arizona’s grid will see a staggering 40% increase in peak load? At a recent IMAPS Arizona Chapter event held at our member company, Saras Micro Devices, Arizona State University's Mike Ranjram shared his insights on data center power delivery for the evolving #AI ecosystem. Jillian Carapella was there, taking it all in. In her latest blog post, she dives into the nitty gritty of Mike's talk, explaining the science of power delivery, what's causing the sharp rise in demand, and the efforts being implemented to mitigate it now, and in the future.
