What Exactly Are Chiplets And Heterogeneous Integration?

By Bryon Moyer - 20 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 0

The terms “chiplet” and “heterogeneous integration” fill news pages, conference papers, and marketing presentations, and for the most part engineers understand what they're reading. But speakers sometimes stumble during a presentation trying to figure out whether a particular die qualifies as a chiplet, and heterogeneous integration comes in different guises for different people. Both t... » read more
