Complex Heterogeneous Integration Drives Innovation In Semiconductor Test
By Jeorge Hurtarte - 15 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

Heterogeneous integration is driving innovation in the semiconductor industry, but it also introduces more complexity in chip design, which translates to more intricate test requirements. The automated test equipment (ATE) industry is responding, developing and utilizing more sophisticated test equipment capable of handling the diverse functionalities and interfaces needed to test heterogeneous... » read more

Here At Last! Automated Verification Of Heterogeneous 2D/3D Package Connectivity
By Michael Walsh - 25 Jul, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Michael Walsh and Jin Hou with Todd Burkholder The heterogeneous integration of multiple ICs in a single package along with high-performance, high-bandwidth memory is critical for many high-performance computing applications. After everything has been heterogeneously integrated and packaged, such designs feature complex connectivity with many hundreds of thousands of connections, making i... » read more

With the explosive increase in demand for artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous driving, Internet of Things (IoT), data centers, augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/VR), the market of high-performance computing (HPC) applications is growing rapidly [2]. And, the HPC market requires high processing speed, fast network clusters and large parallel computing. To meet the market requirement... » read more

Advanced Packaging Design For Heterogeneous Integration
By CP Hung - 18 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

As device scaling slows down, a key system functional integration technology is emerging: heterogeneous integration (HI). It leverages advanced packaging technology to achieve higher functional density and lower cost per function. With the continuous development of major semiconductor applications such as AI HPC, edge AI and autonomous electrical vehicles, traditional chips are transforming i... » read more

The City In The Tower: 3D ICs Transform The Electronics System Landscape
By Keith Felton - 14 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

By Keith Felton and Todd Burkholder The time of 3D integrated circuits (3D ICs) is here, and they will revolutionize the semiconductor industry and effect a watershed in the nature of electronics products that can be designed and manufactured. Yet again—as with personal computers, the internet, and smart phones—our increasingly digital world will never be the same. 3D IC architectures... » read more

Test Strategies In The Era Of Heterogeneous Integration
By Fisher Zhang - 12 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 0

Moore’s Law, the observation that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years, is critical to advances in computing technology. For decades, fabs have managed to achieve exponential growth in digital capability and transistor density by making transistors smaller and smaller, but we’ve hit the physical limits of these processes. Today, new proces... » read more

Chiplets: Deep Dive Into Designing, Manufacturing, And Testing
By The SE Staff - 07 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

Chiplets are a disruptive technology. They change the way chips are designed, manufactured, tested, packaged, as well as the underlying business relationships and fundamentals. But they also open the door to vast new opportunities for existing chipmakers and startups to create highly customized components and systems for specific use cases and market segments. This LEGO-like approach sounds ... » read more

DAC 2023: Megatrends And The Road Ahead For Design Automation
By Frank Schirrmeister - 27 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

As Silicon Valley is in the midst of the heat wave the world is experiencing, the recent Design Automation Conference and its exhibition discussed hot technologies. Three megatrends defined the current situation – artificial intelligence (AI), chiplets, and integration. To me, the more exciting aspect of DAC was the discussion of what is ahead for EDA in the decade to come, and for that, the ... » read more

Chiplets: More Standards Needed
By Andy Heinig - 13 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 1

Recent months have seen new advances in chiplet standardization. For example, consortia such as Bunch of Wires (BoW) and Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express (UCIe) have made progress in developing standards for die-to-die (D2D) interfaces in a chiplet’s design. Far from being a new phenomenon in communication, these types of standards are established for all forms of wired and wireless com... » read more
