Intel’s Tiny Bridges Could Lead to Very Big Paychecks

Source: https://semiwiki.com/semiconductor-manufacturers/intel/375827-intels-tiny-bridges-could-lead-to-very-big-paychecks/ Intel’s next big opportunity could come from something that sounds spectacularly unglamorous: connecting tiny pieces of silicon. Advanced packaging rarely attracts the attention lavished on powerful processors or artificial intelligence models. Yet it increasingly determines how effectively those technologies perform. For Intel,

From Metrology to Autonomy: Why Intel Foundry’s Manufacturing Roadmap Matters

Source: https://semiwiki.com/semiconductor-manufacturers/intel/375218-from-metrology-to-autonomy-why-intel-foundrys-manufacturing-roadmap-matters/ Semiconductor manufacturing has always depended on precise measurement. As devices become more complex and packaging integrates more components, however, measuring individual process steps is no longer enough. Manufacturers need to understand how decisions across fabrication, assembly, and test affect the finished product. Intel
