Every generation of semiconductor innovation has relied on one fundamental principle: before a technology can be manufactured at scale, it must first be understood. That understanding comes through characterization.
For decades, characterization enabled process learning. It helped engineers understand transistor behavior,… Read More
TSMC’s CoPoS, generally described as Chip-on-Panel-on-Substrate, and Intel’s EMIB, or Embedded Multi-die Interconnect Bridge, address the same strategic problem: integrating increasingly large, heterogeneous chiplet systems. However, they attack different physical constraints. CoPoS is an emerging panel-level … Read More

From Photonic Device Design to Electro-Optical Realization
Co-packaged optics will not scale through photonic device performance alone.
As AI infrastructure pushes bandwidth, power, latency, and reach to new limits, optics is moving closer to the compute engine. The industry is no longer asking only whether a photonic device… Read More
Systems-in-package (SIPs) with 2.5D and 3D heterogenous integration, consisting of multiple dies and chiplets deliver 10x more functionality than traditional monolithic chips. This capability enables innovative solutions for diverse needs in scientific computing, automotive, edge computing, and aerospace/defense.… Read More
As advanced packaging becomes a critical enabler for next-generation semiconductor products, Intel continues to drive innovation through its Embedded Multi-die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB) technology. EMIB has emerged as a foundational packaging solution for heterogeneous integration, allowing multiple chiplets and… Read More
Consider this a standout presentation at the Silicon Catalyst Spring Portfolio Update Meeting held yesterday at the Computer History Museum. Mahesh Tirupattur, CEO of Analog Bits, is a modern-day, multidimensional semiconductor hero and one of my trusted few. Analog Bits is a premier member of the semiconductor ecosystem,… Read More
The designation of Silicon Catalyst as the exclusive strategic partner for Microelectronics US 2026 represents a significant alignment between a leading semiconductor startup ecosystem and a rapidly growing U.S. microelectronics industry event. This partnership reflects broader trends in semiconductor innovation, … Read More
One of my favorite times of the year is coming (sailing season) and my favorite event of the year is coming as the company I most respect will host the best international semiconductor networking event starting here in Silicon Valley.
The 32nd annual TSMC Technology Symposium represents one of the most influential events in the … Read More
Daniel is joined by Dr. Debendra Das Sharma, a Senior Fellow and Chief I/O architect in the Data Platforms and Artificial Intelligence Group at Intel. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), Fellow of IEEE, and Fellow of International Academy of AI Sciences. He is a leading expert on I/O subsystem and interface… Read More
