Si2 Announces Sponsorship of 3D Architectures for Semiconductor Integration and Packaging Conference.AUSTIN, Texas -- Silicon Integration Initiative “Si2” redirects here. For other uses, see Si2 (disambiguation). Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2) is a non-profit consortium of industry-leading semiconductor, systems, EDA, and manufacturing companies, focused on improving the way integrated circuits are (Si2) announced today its sponsorship of the 3D Architectures for Semiconductor Integration and Packaging Conference. This conference will be held October 31 through November 2, 2006, at the San Francisco San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden Airport Marriott in Burlingame, Calif., and is developed by RTI International RTI International was established in 1958 as Research Triangle Institute, the founding tenant of North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park. RTI was founded as part of a larger effort to harness the intellectual capital of the area’s three major universities— North . 3D integration and packaging of semiconductor devices is gaining noticeable momentum within the semiconductor community and has emerged as a serious contender in the challenges of meeting performance, cost, and size demands for semiconductor devices and products through this decade and beyond. Building integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. in 3D can decrease the size of devices while at the same time offering enhanced performance. These architectures also allow the integration of different devices and circuit functions on the same chip-an additional advantage of key importance for future applications of today and tomorrow. "Our member companies are extremely interested in various aspects of 3D architectures," says Steve Schulz, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"Our Design Technology Council currently has a working group examining one aspect of 3D architecture known as System-in-Package. The challenges of designing and integrating 3D circuits present a new challenge to the semiconductor industry." With presentations and participants from leading companies and organizations in the international community, the conference is aimed at providing the information that is critical to planning ongoing and future business and technical efforts in this important new arena. Attendees and speakers will have the opportunity to learn-from presentations and networking with industry leaders-the status of competing technology solutions, commercialization plans, and the key enablers to near- and long-term Long-term Three or more years.
