Chiplet Design Considerations


Chiplets are a way to offer continuing increases in compute capacity and I/O bandwidth needs by splitting SoC functionality into smaller heterogeneous or homogeneous dies called chiplets and integrating these chiplets into a single system in package (SIP), where the total silicon content can exceed the reticle size of a single SoC. SIP includes traditional package substrates but also may includ... » read more

Heterogeneous Integration: Correcting Overlay Errors On Advanced Integrated Circuit Substrates (AICS)


By John Chang, with Corey Shay, James Webb, and Timothy Chang For high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and data centers, the path ahead is certain, but with it comes a change in substrate format and processing requirements. Instead of relying on the quest for the next technology node to bring about future device performance gains, manufacturers are charting a future based inc... » read more

Heterogeneous Integration: Exposing Large Panels With Fewer Shots


By John Chang, with Corey Shay, James Webb, and Timothy Chang The More than Moore era is upon us, as manufacturers increasingly turn to back-end advances to meet the next-generation device performance gains of today and tomorrow. In the advanced packaging space, heterogeneous integration is one tool helping accomplish these gains by combining multiple silicon nodes and designs inside one pac... » read more
