DoD’s investment of up to $20M enables BRIDG
and partners, imec and SkyWater to support next-generation
electronic systems that will strengthen national security
BRIDG, a not-for-profit, public-private partnership specializing
in advanced system integration and packaging, today announced the
U.S. Department of Defense-funded Industrial Base Analysis and
Sustainment (IBAS) technology development program has kicked off
phase four of its contract. The IBAS program’s goal is to establish
a comprehensive domestic silicon interposer manufacturing
capability, supporting several advanced electronic systems.
Awarded to BRIDG in October 2019, phase one of the program was
completed in November 2022 with BRIDG partners, imec and SkyWater
Technology. The IBAS federal defense contract, valued at up to $20
million, provides an advanced packaging technology for next
generation microelectronic multi-chip systems that will strengthen
national security and cyber resiliency for the U.S. defense
industrial base.
“We are excited to launch the next phase of this contract,”
stated Jim Vandevere, president of BRIDG. “The continued support
from IBAS to foster advanced packaging technologies is an
acknowledgement to what our NeoCity coalition is all about.”
Silicon interposers are used to integrate semiconductor devices
into a highly compact and power efficient format, providing
increased performance and capability. Versatile and compact,
silicon interposers are quickly becoming one of the most popular
choices for advanced packaging.
“This final program phase is an important milestone as we
prepare our interposer platform offering,” said Dale Miller,
SkyWater Florida vice president and general manager. “We look
forward to continuing our partnership with BRIDG and imec to
complete this phase and provide a broader interposer technology
offering that will support RF, digital and mixed signal
applications.”
“We look forward to having this next phase of silicon interposer
technology available to support next generation applications for
the DoD,” stated Matt Walsh, Office of the Secretary of Defense
IBAS advanced packaging chief engineer. “The OSD IBAS organization
understands the critical need for an advanced packaging ecosystem
in the U.S., and the silicon interposer work at BRIDG and SkyWater
Technology is part of that effort.”
“We are pleased that our partnership with BRIDG and SkyWater has
helped reach this next stage of the IBAS program, which leverages
imec's interposer technology. Partnerships help fuel innovation,
and our work with BRIDG and NeoCity is a testament to our
commitment to strengthening our footprint in the U.S. and
contributing to the ecosystem’s growth by levering our nearly 40
years of experience impacting innovation and advanced product
roadmaps through industry-relevant R&D,” stated Raj
Jammy, president of operations, imec USA.

About NeoCity
Following the impacts of the Great Recession, Osceola County
decided to make a long-term investment to create a 500-acre
technology district, known as NeoCity to diversify its economy.
Since then, Osceola County, and their regional partners, have
invested over $273 million to make NeoCity the hub to Central
Florida’s burgeoning semiconductor industry. NeoCity’s anchor
building, the Center for Neovation, (total of 109,000 sq. ft)
consisting of a 36,000 square ft. cleanroom, is one of the most
technologically advanced manufacturing research centers in the
western hemisphere, home to SkyWater Technology, imec USA, BRIDG,
TEL, and SUSS MicroTec. The Osceola County School District’s
NeoCity Academy, located next to the Center for Neovation, works
with SkyWater, BRIDG, and imec USA to provide internships for the
high school students to work in the fab. www.NeoCityFL.com.
