Front end technology key components |
- New platform requirements: benchmark, cost and risk analyses, applications, definition of the offer, project planning and resources, test vehicle strategy
- Technology Platform Qualification Vehicle (TPQV) strategy including all test structure requirements
- Project risk analysis to identify vulnerabilities taking into account lessons learnt from previous or similar technology platforms
- Process flow and the parametric test structure definition
- Qualification plan for the TPQV(s) based on mission profile(s)
Back end technology development key components |
- New package requirements
- Process characterization
- Material definition (new substrate technologies, molding compounds…)
- Process integration through prototyping with selected flow charts and adapted stress assessments
- Modeling and simulation to anticipate new package behavior under stress and environmental conditions (drop test, moisture resistance, thermal cycle…)
- New drawing and feasibility assessment of new packing design to evaluate the impact on and interaction with manufacturing environments
Product development key components |
- Key characteristics and requirements related to future uses of the devices
- Industry domain(s), specific customer requirements and definition of controls and tests needed for compliance
- Product target specification and strategy
- Project manager appointment to drive product development
- Evaluation of the technologies, design tools and IP’s to be used
- Design objective specification and product validation strategy
- Design For Quality techniques (DFD, DFT, DFR, DFM…) definition
- Architecture and partitioning to make sure the software and hardware system solutions meet the target specification
- Product approval strategy and project plan
