Vertical Circuits and Aptos Technology Sign Strategic Manufacturing
Agreement
The companies establish high volume manufacturing capability for VCI’s
patented VIPTM vertical
interconnect technology
SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) July 29, 2008 --
Vertical Circuits, Inc.(VCI), a leading supplier of advanced 3D die
level interconnect solutions, today announced the signing of a strategic
manufacturing agreement with Aptos Technology, a major Taiwan based
provider of high density memory package and memory card assembly and
test services. Under the terms of the agreement, Aptos will provide high
volume manufacturing services to VCI for its growing customer base
adopting VCI’s 3D vertical interconnect
solutions for memory product applications. To support the rising demand,
Aptos is establishing a high volume assembly line capable of producing
stacked die solutions based on VCI’s patented
and proven vertical interconnect pillar (VIPTM)
technology.
Vertical Circuits technology provides a low cost alternative to existing
stacked die wire bond and through silicon via (TSV) interconnect
solutions. The VIPTM process enables IC
assemblers such as Aptos to deliver very cost effective stacked
semiconductor die packages that maximize silicon density and minimize
the package form factor.
“Aptos has demonstrated world class capability
and quality in delivering high density memory package assembly and test
services,” said Sunil Kaul, CEO & President of
Vertical Circuits. “The combination of Aptos’s
extensive assembly experience for the world’s
leading flash memory providers and VCI’s low
cost VIPTM technology enables us to offer an
immediate, high volume manufacturing solution to our growing customer
base. We believe this partnership will further advance our ability to
establish VCI’s VIPTM
as the new standard interconnect solution for high density memory
components.”
“Our partnership with Vertical Circuits
allows Aptos to continue to deliver leading high density, low cost
stacked memory components,” said Daniel Jow,
Chairman of Aptos. “The proven VIPTM
technology seamlessly integrates into our existing high volume
manufacturing lines and enables us to bring the technology to the market
in a very short time. We are excited with this partnership and look
forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with VCI.”
Vertical Circuits has licensed its VIPTM
technology to leading global device manufacturers and packaging
companies based in the US, Japan, and Taiwan. The VIPTM
technology is ideally suited for high capacity removable, as well as
embedded, flash memory applications, including a broad array of memory
cards, USB memory, and emerging SSD products. In addition, the low
inductance, high performance, characteristics of the VIPTM
conductors also make them well suited for DDR2/3 modules, memory / logic
device stacks, and specialty device applications.
