15.9.2016 14:04:35 CEST | Business Wire | Press release
Invensas Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tessera Technologies, Inc., (Nasdaq:TSRA) announced today that Fraunhofer EMFT has signed a new license agreement to incorporate ZiBond® and Direct Bond Interconnect (DBI®) technologies into their portfolio of foundry services. This agreement expands Fraunhofer EMFT’s world-class MEMS manufacturing capabilities with the most advanced 3D integration technologies available.
“ZiBond and DBI technologies are truly enabling bonding and 3D integration technologies for next generation electronic products,” said Dr. Peter Ramm, department head, Heterogeneous System Integration at Fraunhofer EMFT. “We look forward to working with Invensas and our global customer base to demonstrate and further optimize these technologies for MEMS applications on our production equipment,” added Prof. Dr. Christoph Kutter, director of Fraunhofer EMFT.
ZiBond and DBI technologies are cost-effective, versatile 2.5D and 3D semiconductor integration solutions that enable leading edge functionality and accelerate time to market for MEMS and multiple other semiconductor products. ZiBond and DBI bonding can be performed at room temperature without requiring bond pressure. Bonding is typically completed in less than a minute for an entire wafer, substantially reducing manufacturing cost.
“Scaling based on Moore’s Law is becoming increasingly challenging and this is driving demand for our ZiBond and DBI bonding and 3D interconnect technologies, which have been proven in high volume production environments,” said Craig Mitchell, president of Invensas Corporation. “We are pleased that Fraunhofer EMFT, a highly respected MEMS research and 3D heterogeneous integration, development and pilot manufacturing center of excellence, has chosen our ZiBond and DBI technologies to help their customers accelerate the development and commercialization of their next generation MEMS products.”

Klarna Card reaches 5 million active customers19.3.2026 15:31:00 CET | Press release
Klarna, the global digital bank and payments provider, today announced that the Klarna Card has reached 5 million active customers globally, underscoring rapid adoption as consumers shift towards new forms of payment which provide more control over day-to-day money management. The card draws from the customer's own funds for everyday spending, with the option to spread the cost of a specific purchase, like a large appliance or a flight, when it makes sense to do so. The result is a card that offers genuine spending control without the long-term debt obligations that come with traditional credit cards. The card’s growth is reinforced by Klarna’s membership program. The program offers premium perks such as airport lounge access, travel insurance, and lifestyle subscriptions — without requiring users to take on debt, meet spending thresholds, or revolve balances. By separating everyday spending from rewards, Klarna is challenging the strings-attached model legacy banks have long relied on

Armis Launches First-of-Its-Kind Benchmark Report Warning of Critical Security Gaps in AI-Native Development19.3.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release
Research reveals 100% of leading generative AI models fail to generate secure code for critical development scenarios Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company, is warning that the rapid enterprise adoption of AI-native development is outpacing critical security safeguards, leaving organizations exposed to systemic vulnerabilities. New research from Armis Labs’ Trusted Vibing Benchmark Report, which evaluates 18 leading generative AI models across 31 test scenarios, reveals a 100% failure rate in generating secure code. These vulnerabilities are most prevalent in high-risk areas like memory buffer overflows, design file uploads and authentication systems. Therefore, organizations should immediately implement AI-native application security controls to reduce risk. “The era of vibe coding is here, but speed should not come at the cost of security,” said Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder of Armis. “Our research finds that the worst offenders are the same ones selling security
