Project Objectives:

Automotive represents 12% of the EU industrial GDP. 20% of the value of a car is already electronics. Minimizing costs and space for additional functionality requires further integration. The EU project ATHENIS has successfully addressed System-on-Chip (SoC) integration of CMOS, high voltage and embedded memory for harshest automotive conditions. ATHENIS_3D provides the industry’s first 3D heterogeneous integration technology platform for harshest automotive conditions with Through Silicon Vias (TSV) and Wafer Level Packaging (WLP). A demonstrator hybrid-car proves the functionality of the 3D integrated electronics for a new Belt-driven Starter-Generator (BSG) electrical machine with embedded control electronics and the first DCDC converter with integrated passives for the new 48V standard. For this purpose substantial technological barriers such as flipchip mounting of SoC devices on a HVMOS Si interposer with Integrated Passive Devices (IPD), meeting reliability requirements up to 200C application temperatures, have to be mastered for the first time. Full characterization of the new circuits and systems is provided through thermal, electrical, power and EMI measurements. Research results can be applied also in the fields of energy, robotics and industry 4.0
