Dissolving The Barriers In Multi-Substrate 3D-IC Assembly Design


Advanced packaging continues to promise improved form factor, cost, performance, and functionality compared to the traditional transistor scaling on SoCs. This is done by integrating multiple dies on top of a substrate (organic or silicon). Besides multiple dies, multiple substrates can typically exist in a 3D-IC assembly. In this case, the benefits of advanced packaging are taken to a whole ne... » read more

Crossing The Chasm: Uniting SoC And Package Verification


Wafer-level packaging enables higher form factor and improved performance compared to traditional SoC designs. However, to ensure an acceptable yield and performance, EDA companies, OSAT companies, and foundries must collaborate to establish consistent and unified automated WLP design and physical verification flows, while introducing minimum disruption to already-existing package design flows.... » read more
