In the future, this technology could measure the behavior of metamaterials. ... <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626134439/http://semiengineering.com/manufacturing-bits-june-24/">» read more</a> </div> <br/> <hr/> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="loop_post_title_wrapper"> <h2 class="post_title_a"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626134439/http://semiengineering.com/the-week-in-review-manufacturing-15/" title="The Week In Review: Manufacturing">The Week In Review: Manufacturing</a></h2> <div class="loop_post_meta"> By <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626134439/http://semiengineering.com/author/mark-lapedus/">Mark LaPedus</a> - 20 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0 - <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626134439/http://semiengineering.com/category/manufacturing-design/" title="View all posts in Manufacturing and Design">Manufacturing and Design</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626134439/http://semiengineering.com/category/news/" title="View all posts in News">News</a>, </div> </div> <div class="post_excerpt"> <div class="social_sharing"> <div class="social_sharing_panel"> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"> <a fb:like:layout="button_count" class="addthis_button_facebook_like" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/the-week-in-review-manufacturing-15/" addthis:title="The Week In Review: Manufacturing"></a> </div> </div> <div class="social_sharing_panel"> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/the-week-in-review-manufacturing-15/" addthis:title="The Week In Review: Manufacturing"> <a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a> </div> </div> <div class="social_sharing_panel"> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"> <a class="addthis_button_email" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/the-week-in-review-manufacturing-15/" addthis:title="The Week In Review: Manufacturing"></a> <a class="addthis_button_linkedin" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/the-week-in-review-manufacturing-15/" addthis:title="The Week In Review: Manufacturing"></a> <a class="addthis_button_google_plusone" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/the-week-in-review-manufacturing-15/" addthis:title="The Week In Review: Manufacturing"></a> <a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/the-week-in-review-manufacturing-15/" addthis:title="The Week In Review: Manufacturing"></a> </div> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> According to one analyst, the capital spending picture looks gloomy. “We expect finFET and 3D NAND to ramp over the next two years. However, foundry and memory customers are showing great restraint with respect to spending plans, limiting the rate of new node transitions and overall capex upside.

OEMs want to cram more chip functions in smaller IC packages, but there are some challenges in the arena. In fact, there are signs that the mainstream packaging technology for mobiles is running out of steam. For some time, mobile products have incorporated a technology called package-on-package (PoP), which u... <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626134439/http://semiengineering.com/mobile-packaging-market-heats-up/">» read more</a> </div> <br/> <hr/> <br/> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="loop_post_title_wrapper"> <h2 class="post_title_a"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626134439/http://semiengineering.com/dfm-and-multipatterning/" title="DFM And Multipatterning">DFM And Multipatterning</a></h2> <div class="loop_post_meta"> By <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626134439/http://semiengineering.com/author/esperling/">Ed Sperling</a> - 19 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0 - <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626134439/http://semiengineering.com/category/manufacturing-design/" title="View all posts in Manufacturing and Design">Manufacturing and Design</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626134439/http://semiengineering.com/category/round-tables/" title="View all posts in Round Tables">Round Tables</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20140626134439/http://semiengineering.com/category/top-stories/" title="View all posts in Top Stories">Top Stories</a>, </div> </div> <div class="post_excerpt"> <div class="social_sharing"> <div class="social_sharing_panel"> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"> <a fb:like:layout="button_count" class="addthis_button_facebook_like" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/dfm-and-multipatterning/" addthis:title="DFM And Multipatterning"></a> </div> </div> <div class="social_sharing_panel"> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/dfm-and-multipatterning/" addthis:title="DFM And Multipatterning"> <a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a> </div> </div> <div class="social_sharing_panel"> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"> <a class="addthis_button_email" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/dfm-and-multipatterning/" addthis:title="DFM And Multipatterning"></a> <a class="addthis_button_linkedin" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/dfm-and-multipatterning/" addthis:title="DFM And Multipatterning"></a> <a class="addthis_button_google_plusone" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/dfm-and-multipatterning/" addthis:title="DFM And Multipatterning"></a> <a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style" addthis:url="http://semiengineering.com/dfm-and-multipatterning/" addthis:title="DFM And Multipatterning"></a> </div> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> </div> Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss DFM at advanced nodes with Kuang-Kuo Lin, director of foundry design enablement at Samsung Electronics;
