SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - November 5, 2007) - Inapac Technology, Inc., a leading provider of
DRAM solutions optimized for system-in-package (SiP) and multi-chip-package
(MCP) devices, today announced an agreement with e-MDT, Inc., a Seoul-based
ASIC design and development company, to serve as Inapac's representative
for the Korean market. Under the agreement, e-MDT adds DRAM based on
Inapac's proven SiPFLOW™ design-for-test (DFT) intellectual property
(IP) to its product portfolio, and will serve as a design center partner
for Inapac customers in the Korean market.
With SiPFLOW platform-based memory, e-MDT now offers a proven production
and test methodology for integrating cost-effective, known-good-die (KGD)
DRAM with logic die to produce reliable SiP/MCP devices for high-volume
applications. Inapac's approach enables the lowest cost of ownership for
stacked DRAM in high-volume SiP/MCP implementations, while achieving
industry-leading reliability rates of less than 100 dppm (defective parts
per million).
eMDT, which has achieved notable success with the leading Korean cell phone
companies, will combine its extensive ASIC and SoC design services and its
back-end testing and verification expertise with SiPFLOW-based KGD to
deliver SiP/MCP solutions optimized for cellular handset and digital
display applications.
"We are extremely pleased to add Inapac's products to our portfoliio," said
Jay Jeong, president and CEO of e-MDT. "This agreement enables us to
deliver cost and reliability advantages over traditional KGD approaches,
allowing the industry's leading electronics companies to quickly and
cost-effectively implement SiPs/MCPs for their high-volume applications."
"We're very excited about establishing a relationship with e-MDT," said
Naresh Baliga, vice-president of marketing at Inapac. "This represents a
major expansion of our ability to serve the Korean market, which is a
strong and growing consumer of SiPs and MCPs for cell phones and other
portable devices. With its established history and reputation in providing
ASIC, SoC and SiP/MCP solutions, e-MDT is an ideal partner to help expand
use of Inapac DRAM designs and the SiPFLOW methodology."
The SiPFLOW Platform
The Inapac SiPFLOW platform balances low-cost production and high
reliability for DRAM die, making it easier and less expensive to integrate
memory into single-package devices. It combines SiP/MCP-optimized memory
IP with a complete, integrated test infrastructure that provides
significant cost efficiencies at both the wafer sort and final test steps.
After assembly, the memory portion of the SiP/MCP can be fully exercised
and tested using the Inapac SiPLINK™ test connections and conventional
high-volume memory test equipment. In addition, the SiPFLOW methodology
allows for continuous improvement over the SiP/MCP product lifecycle. With
it, test results can be accumulated and analyzed to fine-tune the
manufacturing process and to further correlate wafer sort and final test
results to achieve increased yield and reliability.
