Our Breakthrough : BBCube


BBCube (Bumpless Build Cube) is a next-generation 3D architecture that is paving the way for the future of semiconductors.
Developed through the collective expertise of the "WOW Alliance" at the Tokyo Institute of Technology (now Institute of Science Tokyo), this innovative technology achieves a high-level integration of Wafer-on-Wafer (WOW) and Chip-on-Wafer (COW).
By leveraging an ultimate stacking structure featuring ultra-thin wafers and high-density TSV interconnects, we enable a new dimension of performance through micron-level device proximity.
This technology represents a true breakthrough, shattering the structural constraints of the past.
