Swissbit Invests for 3DChip-Scale

turers to create their packages, mod- ules and subsystems in Germany, without having to offshore to Asia, where the focus is primarily on high- volume and low-mix production. Berlin’s economic advisers have
a vision to increase demand for miniaturized modules, driven by new developments in areas that include sensor technology, control, 5G, and e- mobility. With its many startups, Berlin is also a global hotspot for innovation. Swissbit hopes to attract enough businesses to create a tech- nology cluster around its new plant. The new plant contains some
technologies and capabilities that are usually hard to find. The entire facil- ity is equipped with handling units for 11.8 in. (300 mm) wafers. Other specialties include a multichip die bonder and special equipment for handling extremely sensitive thin die.
“We can process these with a
thickness of only 40 microns and layer them on top of each other in many cases, more precisely in up to 32 layers and with 10 microns of accuracy,” says Lust. “This is unique in Europe.” Wirebonding and molding sys-
tems for contacting, encapsulation and packaging follow. These pack- ages can then be mounted on mod- ules and submodules by two SMT lines. Stations for loading firmware, as well as extensive systems for prod- uct-specific tests complete the pro- duction. Contact: Swissbit NA, Inc., 238

to configure and implement complete end-to-end condition monitoring. Shiratech’s newly opened European technical and sales office near Frankfurt, Germany, provides easy access to the required services, including tailored design and manu- facturing of integrated hardware and software solutions. The services available also
include supply chain management, design for manufacture (DFM) and production and logistics expertise.
Together, they enable customers to enjoy faster turnaround and shorter time to completion for their projects. The team in Germany is also closely connected to experts at the main office in Israel, as well as the wider global network of Shiratech technical cen- ters, to provide 24/7 service to clients. Predictive maintenance, based
on intelligent monitoring, enables companies to minimize waste and avoidable costs. Success requires skills in embedded hardware design, edge computing, industrial IoT (IIoT) connectivity, and cloud-based data
analysis to come together to capture, pre-process and analyze sensor data, deriving accurate insights into machine health and correctly antici- pate maintenance needs. Shiratech’s iCOMOX module, IIoT gateway and technical services can simplify imple- mentation, providing a faster route to reaping the rewards of digital transformation. Contact: Shiratech, Am
