Holistic Die-to-Die Interface Design Methodology For 2.5-D Multi-Chip-Module Systems
By Fraunhofer EAS - 07 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

More than Moore technologies can be supported by system level diversification enabled by chiplet based integrated systems within multi-chip-modules (MCM) and silicon interposer based 2.5D systems. The division of large system-on-chip dies into smaller chiplets with different technology nodes specific to the chiplet application requirement enables the performance enhancement at system level whil... » read more

SiPs And MCMs Broaden Opportunities For Military-Aerospace System Design
By Rosie Medina - 23 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

Military and aerospace (mil-aero) applications, from satellites and rockets to ships and planes, increasingly require electronic systems and subsystems with high functionality and performance in a small form factor. Meeting these demands poses higher-level challenges for packaging of these microelectronic devices, which needs to be rugged, long-lived, and affordable. Usage of multi-chip modu... » read more

System-In-Package Thrives In The Shadows
By Mark LaPedus - 16 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

IC packaging continues to play a big role in the development of new electronic products, particularly with system-in-package (SiP), a successful approach that continues to gain momentum — but mostly under the radar because it adds a competitive edge. With a SiP, several chips and other components are integrated into a package, enabling it to function as an electronic system or sub-system. ... » read more

What Does It Take To Build A Successful Multi-Chip Module Factory?
By Mike McIntyre - 06 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

When it comes to multi-chip module (MCM) manufacturing, fan-out wafer-level and fan-out panel-level packaging have received a lot of coverage recently. Every week, it seems like there is an announcement about “Company XYZ” moving their products into the fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) or fan-out panel-level packaging (FOPLP) space. But these moves come with challenges that didn’t ex... » read more

Designing 2.5D Systems
By Brian Bailey - 15 Mar, 2021 - Comments: 0

As more designs hit the reticle limit, or suffer from decreasing yield, migrating to 2.5D designs may provide a path forward. But this kind of advanced packaging also comes with some additional challenges. How you adapt and change your design team may be determined by where your focus has been in the past, or what you are trying to achieve. There are business, organizational, and technical c... » read more

The Darker Side Of Hybrid Bonding
By Katherine Derbyshire - 17 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 2

With semiconductors, it's often things everyone takes for granted that cause the biggest headaches, and that problem is compounded when something fundamental changes — such as bonding two chips together using a process aimed at maximizing performance. Case in point: CMP for backend of the line metallization in hybrid bonding. While this is a mature process, it doesn't easily translate for ... » read more

Confusion Grows Over Packaging And Scaling
By Ann Mutschler - 15 Oct, 2020 - Comments: 0

The push toward both multi-chip packaging and continued scaling of digital logic is creating confusion about how to classify designs, what design tools work best, and how to best improve productivity and meet design objectives. While the goals of design teams remains the same — better performance, lower power, lower cost — the choices often involve tradeoffs between design budgets and ho... » read more

Die-To-Die Connectivity
By Ed Sperling - 22 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

Manmeet Walia, senior product marketing manager at Synopsys, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about how die-to-die communication is changing as Moore’s Law slows down, new use cases such as high-performance computing, AI SoCs, optical modules, and where the tradeoffs are for different applications.   Interested in more Semiconductor Engineering videos?

What’s The Best Advanced Packaging Option?
By Mark LaPedus - 17 Oct, 2019 - Comments: 2

As traditional chip designs become more unwieldy and expensive at each node, many IC vendors are exploring or pursuing alternative approaches using advanced packaging. The problem is there are too many advanced packaging options on the table already, and the list continues to grow. Moreover, each option has several tradeoffs and challenges, and all of them are still relatively expensive. ... » read more

Sorting Out Packaging Options
By Ed Sperling - 10 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss advanced packaging with David Butler, executive vice president and general manager of SPTS Technologies; Ingu Yin Chang, senior vice president president at ASE Group; Hubert Karl Lakner, executive director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems; Robert Lo, division director for electronics and optoelectronics research at Industrial Te... » read more
