    Comments Off on Mosaic Microsystems Announces Strategic Leadership Appointments to Drive Next Phase of Innovation and Manufacturing Excellence

    Mosaic Microsystems, a pioneering microelectronics and photonics packaging company, today announced strategic leadership changes within its Technology and Manufacturing divisions, signaling a strong commitment to future growth and innovation in advanced substrate solutions.

    Effective April 1st, Shelby Nelson, Co-founder and former Chief Technology Officer, has transitioned to the newly created role of Co-founder and Senior Fellow. In this pivotal position, Nelson will continue to contribute her deep technical expertise and vision, which were instrumental in the successful design, development, and launch of Mosaic’s groundbreaking products. Her foundational technology roadmap remains a critical element of the company’s ongoing innovation strategy.

    “We extend our deepest gratitude to Shelby Nelson for her visionary leadership and invaluable contributions in establishing Mosaic Microsystems as an industry innovator,” said Christine Whitman, CEO of Mosaic. “Her guidance has been fundamental in taking our initial concepts through to market-leading products, and her continued strategic insights will be crucial as we move forward.”

    Building on this strong foundation, David Levy, previously a Senior Scientist at Mosaic, has been promoted to Chief Technology Officer and Vice President of Research & Development. With over 25 years of extensive R&D experience in nano-particle systems, thin film processing, device fabrication, and device physics, Levy will spearhead the advancement of Mosaic’s cutting-edge technical initiatives and drive future innovation.

    Further bolstering its operational capabilities, Brian Harding has been elevated from Director of Manufacturing to Vice President of Manufacturing. This promotion recognizes Harding’s significant contributions to scaling Mosaic’s production capabilities and ensuring the delivery of high-quality advanced packaging solutions.

    “These strategic leadership appointments underscore Mosaic’s proactive approach to positioning the company for its next phase of expansion,” added Whitman. “As the demand for advanced glass substrates continues to grow within the microelectronics packaging landscape, we are confident that this strengthened leadership team will accelerate our innovation and manufacturing excellence.”

  2. Entrepreneur of the Year Shelby F. Nelson, PhD

    Comments Off on Entrepreneur of the Year Shelby F. Nelson, PhD

    Shelby F. Nelson, PhD has been selected as the 2024 Entrepreneur of the Year by the Rochester Section of the American Chemical Society.

    This award recognizes Dr. Nelson’s co-founding of Mosaic Microsystems and developing and commercializing innovative glass packaging technology for integration of microelectronic and photonic chips.

    Mosaic’s proprietary glass handling technology allows temporary bonding of thin, flexible glass to a rigid handle wafer, to enable high-yield manufacturing of electrical and optical traces and circuits, leveraging industry standard processes normally used for silicon. This technology works with glass even below 100 microns thick.

    Mosaic wants engineers who are involved in RF, computing, integrated photonics, and biomedical devices to know the benefits of glass for advanced semiconductor packaging.Glass can be thought of as a very high-performance printed circuit board (PCB) — enabling cutting-edge applications to meet their challenging targets.

    Mosaic’s early understanding of the value of glass has been underscored by recent announcements by companies like Intel and Samsung of a drive to incorporate glass in their advanced packaging. Mosaic’s special expertise is in the production of thin glass packaging solutions, with successful (high yield) handling of the floppy and transparent material through the many steps required to produce finished packages.

    Mosaic is prototyping thin glass with multi-layer interconnects, along with copper-filled through-glass vias connecting front to back of the glass, and is rapidly moving these to production for both defense and commercial industries.
