Synopsys & AMD Webinar – Final Frontier: The Next Generation of 3DIC Interposer/InFO Design

Synopsys & AMD Webinar – Final Frontier: The Next Generation of 3DIC Interposer/InFO Design
by Admin on 04-23-2024 at 1:34 pm

In recent years, the semiconductor industry has experienced a breakthrough in the onset of 2.5D and 3D chiplet-based products. These products promise to extend the limits of Moore’s Law while demolishing limitations on speed and capacity for our highest tiers of compute. But for all the adulation we heap upon the 3DIC paradigm,

Upcoming Webinar: 3DIC Design from Concept to Silicon

Upcoming Webinar: 3DIC Design from Concept to Silicon
by Kalar Rajendiran on 01-26-2022 at 10:00 am

Lessons from Existing Multi Die Solutions

Multi-die design is not a new concept. It has been around for a long time and has evolved from 2D level integration on to 2.5D and then to full 3D level implementations. Multiple driving forces have led to this progression.  Whether the forces are driven by market needs, product needs, manufacturing technology availability or EDA… Read More
