The papers are presented in sections covering introductory material and applications, bonding, TSV formation and wafer thinning, three-dimensional packaging and epitaxial growth, and materials and modeling.
To overcome requirements on device size and thickness associated with conventional wafer dicing, packaging and wire bonding methods, the researchers have developed epitaxial growth techniques for creating LEDs with sizes up to 100 times smaller than usual.
In addition, Panasonic's proprietary epitaxial growth technology greatly helps to extract the superior inherent material property of GaN resulting in the high breakdown voltage together with the low on-state resistance.
