Ziptronix Licenses its Direct Bond Technology for Mobile Handsets
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. -- July 09, 2012 -- Ziptronix Inc., the leading developer of direct bonding technology for advanced semiconductor applications, today announced that it has licensed its technology for a cell phone handset application. The high-volume consumer application underscores again the broad applicability of Ziptronix’s patented technology beyond image sensors.
The company recently announced that a new collaboration with a customer has demonstrated strong potential for significant cost savings in 3D memory applications, by replacing standard die-stacking methods with Ziptronix DBI® wafer-stacking technology. By licensing the technology for a high-volume handset application, the company extends its technology’s cost-saving and efficiency features across multiple supply chains.
“Device manufacturers recognize the value of this technology for a growing range of applications beyond image sensors,” said Daniel Donabedian, CEO of Ziptronix. “We are in licensing discussions with companies around the world for a variety of applications, including next-generation 3D memory stacking and advanced imagers that target true 3D IC integration.”
Donabedian said those discussions support the company’s strategy of pursuing significant adoption of its 3D integration technology across many platforms to bring the benefits of smaller pitch, increased functionality, increased density and scalability, along with lower-cost manufacturing, for future generations of 3D integrated devices. Ziptronix also continues to target licenses in the image sensor market.
