Vertical Circuits Inc. (VCI), a die-level semiconductor stacking company, today announced the formation of a new Technical Advisory Board (TAB). The company supplies semiconductor and electronic products and services to commercial and aerospace customers worldwide.
Vertical Circuits near chip-scale-packaging stacking provides an ideal solution for high density, high performance DDR-1 and DDR-2 memory modules for use in server and other demanding applications. The company anticipates that its micropedeTM stacked die BGAs components will become a major leading edge product for memory module manufacturers by addressing the performance, footprint and height short falls of current stackable memory and SIP solutions.

“We believe that our technical advisory board members provide us unique insight into the needs of our customers. Our members are well respected leaders from their respective industries,” said Sunil Kaul, Vertical Circuits president and CEO, “The Advisory board will provide guidance to VCI in the areas of technology, strategy and direction and in support of our business objectives”.
