Quite a few years ago there were claims that 28Si would enhance transistor performance, but it never became commercial; this looks like a viable way to create improved quantum devices, but I would be surprised to see it spread beyond those.
Given the super purity of semiconductor silicon, I...
I would add in CMP at IBM… and tungsten plugs… that’s going back to the ’80s🙂 Before that we were limited to three or four metal layers, and that was a push.
If two dies use a CoWoS interposer, it would have to be two-exposure; more likely that they use a silicon bridge, INFO_LSI/CoWoS-L.
