Our 3D stacking technology: our expertise in electronic miniaturization

In embedded electronic systems, reducing space requirements is a major challenge.

Thanks to our patented 3D stacking technology, we push the boundaries of miniaturization by integrating multiple electronic components into a single module. This approach optimizes available space while ensuring a high level of performance and reliability.

Unlike traditional architectures where components are placed side by side on a printed circuit board, our technology relies on vertical stacking along the Z-axis.

Advanced Stacking Technology and Core Principles

 

3D stacking integration

Our work relies on the ability to integrate various types of electronic components within a single module:

  • Active components;
  • Passive components;
  • Optoelectronic components;
  • Bare dies;
  • Packaged components.

This approach makes it possible to create compact electronic architectures tailored to the specific constraints of each design.

Core Principles of Our Technology

  • Multi-layer stacking

    Up to 10 semiconductors devices in an ultra-reduced thickness.

    • Increased functional density
    • Reduced footprint
  • Metal-Edge Bus Interconnect

    Our Metal-Edge Bus interconnect technology provides a connection between the different integration levels. This process helps to:

    • Reduce electrical distances
    • Improve signal integrity
    • Enhance resistance to environmental constraints
  • Testing and Qualification

    Each component and integration level undergoes testing prior to assembly. This approach guarantees:

    • Monitored yield
    • Consistent quality
    • Reliability tailored to critical environments
