Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate, commonly called CoWoS, is an advanced packaging platform developed by TSMC. It allows processors, chiplets, and high-bandwidth memory stacks to be integrated within a single package. CoWoS has become especially important for artificial-intelligence accelerators and high-performance computing… Read More
I had a chance sit down with James Huang, Director of Engineering at Alchip Technologies, to discuss the company’s recent multi-die packaging achievements and learn about Alchip’s next steps in pushing the boundaries of innovation for next generation AI ASIC.
James is acknowledged as a leading light in advanced node ASICs, based… Read More
CoWoS-S and CoWoS-R are two versions of TSMC’s Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate advanced packaging platform. Both technologies are designed to combine high-performance processors, chiplets and high-bandwidth memory, or HBM, within a single package. This shortens the electrical connections between computing and memory components,… Read More
There has been talk at the latest conferences about TSMC customers taking wafers to Intel for packaging. The question is why? Is it competitive pricing? Capacity? Supply chain diversity? CC Wei was asked about this during the last investor call and his perfect response was:
Jeff Su: I guess very simply put, EMIB-T, in his view, is… Read More
The worldwide TSMC 2025 Technology Symposium recently kicked off with the first event in Santa Clara, California. These events typically focus on TSMC’s process technology and vast ecosystem. These items were certainly a focus for this year’s event as well. But there is now an additional item that shares the spotlight – packaging… Read More
At the 2024 TSMC OIP Ecosystem Forum, one of the technical talks by TSMC focused on maximizing 3DIC design productivity and rightfully so. With rapid advancements in semiconductor technology, 3DICs have become the next frontier in improving chip performance, energy efficiency, and density. TSMC’s focus on streamlining the… Read More
In the rapidly evolving fields of high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI), reducing time to market is crucial for maintaining competitive advantage. HBM3E systems play a pivotal role in this regard, particularly for hyperscaler and data center infrastructure customers. Alphawave Semi’s… Read More
