The 3DIC market has been investigated for several years. As many companies investigate this business, more is understood about the challenges and cost. All existing commercial technologies use a spin-on adhesive applied to the device wafer, is bonded to a carrier, and after processing, de-bonded by widely different practices. One of the leading technologies is WaferBond(TM), a rubber-based adhesive, supplied by Brewer-Science, Inc. (BSI). In 2005, this technology was developed by Daetec as one of their first technology transfers. Daetec has developed numerous temporary bonding systems, including a rosin and a silicone, sold under the trade name GenTak(TM) for General Chemical. [1] At this year's 2013 Semicon- West gathering, a panel of global experts from KMPG, IMEC, Sematech, CEA-Leti, and CNSE were asked to identify the semiconductor industry's greatest technical challenges. [2] Next to lithography, these experts believed the top challenge is to reduce the barriers to 3DIC. Such barriers include: high cost, poor yield, and poor throughput. When only a few companies can afford 3DIC, progress is slow and growth towards >2 integration levels is pushed to the future. Daetec has developed a new technology, DaeBond 3DTM, allowing carrier de-bond to occur in a batch process and while thinned wafers are affixed to film frames (Fig. 1). Many other benefits exist and will be presented at the show.

As the 3DIC market matures, more is understood about the technical and cost challenges [1]. At the 2013 Semicon-West gathering, a panel of global experts identified these technical challenges to represent some of the most significant barriers to the industry's efforts to maintain progress with Moore's Law [2]. Searching and achieving high value manufacturing of 3DIC devices requires wrestling with several technologies and processes, all which may assert a different value for the manufacturer [3]. Current technologies for thin wafer support use a wide range of adhesives applied to the device wafer, bonded to a carrier, backside processed, and de-bonded by an array of methods. Daetec has been investigating temporary bonding for nearly 15yrs, is producing a range of products for semiconductor (e.g. WaferBondTM (Brewer-Science, Inc.)) [4], and for the display market using a low-cost tunable adhesion-force material that is peeled by simple means [5]. Daetec has developed a new technology, DaeBond 3DTM, allowing de-bonding to occur in a batch process while thinned wafers are affixed to film frames. This new approach provides a shift in conventional practice. Our paper presents several temporary bonding options with DaeBond 3DTM in an effort to define value-added approaches for thin wafer handling.

We have some serious work to do. Far too many people lead miserable lives because they lack the most basic necessities to deal with hunger, thirst, shelter, disease, or disability. In addition, the prosperity currently enjoyed by many of us may not be taken for granted in the future. The experts in this book have identified a range of breakthroughs that are urgently required if we are to improve the fate of humanity in the decades ahead and look to the future with greater confidence. There will be some hard choices, and some lines of research will probably need to be pursued at the expense of others. Industry should change and adopt new strategies. And we as a society should accept and foster that change. The evolution of technology, industry, and society is a complex process full of feedback mechanisms and surprises. It’s vital that we understand the most promising ways to facilitate the necessary changes of direction. The technologies proposed in this book aren’t straightforward; otherwise, they would have been identified much sooner. The days when you could produce a brilliant invention in your garden shed have largely gone. Anyone wishing to improve the current state of technology needs a solid pedigree and will need to labor long and hard with a group of dedicated colleagues, in many cases relying on extremely expensive equipment. Breakthroughs demand the stamina, laborious testing, and inspiration of countless scientists and engineers. Hundreds of thousands of design hours can go into a new microchip, car, or power-generation technique. Developing new technology is a complex process. That complexity is exemplified by the development of the laser. Einstein predicted the principle of stimulated emission on which lasers are based long before World War II. But it was many more decades before working lasers were created and longer still before they were put to practical use. Once we had them, however, we found we could use them in new scientific instruments that opened up fresh areas of research.

Virtual worlds represent a new market with a distinct economy andmany individuals are trying to exploit this very new technology in thesearch of profitable opportunities. The current paper proposes to studyentrepreneurship in the Massively Multiplayer Online Role-PlayingGames (MMORPG) Second Life® and Entropia Universe® in whichmonetary trades are possible. A survey was proposed to the community of players of both games, and from a sample of 244 players, nineteenentrepreneurs were contacted for a second survey. The traits of theentrepreneurs were compared to those of the players andentrepreneurship was observed in Second Life® and Entropia Universe®.  In fact, all the necessary conditions are present for entrepreneurship: a new technology giving new sources of revenues, an entrepreneur willing to invest money in order to increase his wealth, and a market with an economy well understood. The different entrepreneurs have developed successful ventures in several markets, and they had well defined the strategy they wanted to adopt. They have examined the different markets in which they have entered although they did not use all the tools known in the marketing fields. Further, some steps in the process of creation of the venture may not be important and some may be done relatively swiftly, thus the venture creation in MMORPG may be relatively easy. In conclusion, the venture creation may be relatively undemanding in virtual worlds, and this opens new possibilities for the future.

On The Road

The modern world is continuously engaged in a racing processes aimed towards building a favourable future society. In this development, the apparent tools seem to be related to theoretical thought, new technology, avant-garde approaches and innovation. The bodily focus and the societal micro level processes are often left behind in this race. Though, in our aspiration towards urban development and the future society, we should not forget that the bodily functions and the possibilities that these give, represent one of the most fundamental and basic tools we have. This article would like to form an argument carrying out the seeming advantage of bringing in not just technological and theoretic avant-garde to the term of innovation and development, but to invite the whole body into the forming of the future, thereby seeing the term innovation from a material perspective. As the art field today is more often approaching subject matters that are primarily societal, we would like to introduce the potential of a mutual approach from the other end, seeing the art field as a central part in the creation of engagement and progress that can instigate another form of efficiency and present an expanded understanding of what innovative activity can be, and how it can be perceived and comprehended. We would like to debate an art form that takes the bodily, active and relational focus and its social context as a base and starting point on the road towards societal consciousness and potential development. Looking at the example of the art project «The Collectivity Project», this article takes it’s starting point in the following question; How can applied art projects in connection to social contexts, like The Collectivity Project, show the art field and the bodily sensuousness as a tool in the forming of values pointing towards an alternative way of thinking societal consciousness and development?

The process of innovation has been described as a function of the forces of technology ‘push’ and, in the present study, environmental ‘pull’. In order to assess what form of urban drainage system might be desirable by the middle of the next Century, speculation on the possible evolution of the associated technology, U1d the forms of the ‘ultimate’ standards of ‘environmental quality’ is necessary. Interwoven with these speculations is also the necessity to think through the implications of the scenarios for possible climate change and changes in the social fabric of cities in the future. The paper takes a first step in the direction of such speculation. It is noted that operational definitions of a ‘sustainable’ city, or of ‘environmental quality’ (beyond sustainability), are lacking. Cities, like organisms, are associated with !lows of material and energy. Within the broad context of the global cycles of certain principal materials, and in the absence of a good knowledge of the forces of environmental ‘pull’, the ways in which an urban drainage system of the future might introduce minimal distortion of these ‘natural’ material cycles are explored. Specifically, the cycles of C-, N-, P- and S-bearing materials, together with those of heavy metals, synthetic organic chemicals and pathogens, are examined. These represent the principal categories of pollution associated with the activities of a city. Much of the analysis points towards the desirability of returning the non-aqueous output fluxes of the urban drainage system to the land, as opposed to the aquatic environment This is hardly surprising given the history of social developments (in moving from a rural to urban society). The challenge is to combine the more specific insights from this study of a hypothetical ideal with the obvious practical constraints of existing infrastructures of sewer networks and wastewater treatment facilities.
