CEA-Leti Building Europe’s First 300mm R&D Line Dedicated to 3D-Integration Applications

Grenoble, France | Posted on July 12th, 2010

The integration line includes lithography, metallization, deep etching, dielectric deposition, wet etching and packaging tools that will be available for Leti's customers and partners around the world.

The line will complement Leti's 3D-integration toolbox, which already includes through-silicon vias, alignment, bonding, grinding, thinning, planarization, bumping, micro-inserts and design capabilities and mixed-signal IC applications.

"Leti is recognized as a key player in 3D integration R&D and this new line is a vital addition to our continuously expanding 3D capabilities," said Laurent Malier, CEO of Leti. "It also will enable us to offer heterogeneous integration technologies to customers on 200mm and 300mm wafers."
