Designing high-performance multi-chiplet semiconductor packages for hyperscale, HPC and AI applications combines cutting-edge innovation with practical optimization. Embedded silicon bridge substrates enable cost-effective solutions by using base substrates such as organic laminates or redistribution-layer (RDL)… Read More
SC26 is where the HPC community comes together to make technological and research progress, enlighten and empower all people, eliminate barriers to opportunities, chart the course for computing’s impact in the world – and we have fun doing it!
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
I have had the pleasure of working with Defacto Technologies for the past 10 years on SemiWiki and I am always impressed with their professionalism and ability to quickly address the challenges of complex SoC design.
From my perspective, Defacto’s technology is designed to improve productivity and design quality by enabling … Read More
The semiconductor landscape is currently undergoing a structural transformation as the “Data-Centric Shift” moves the industry’s center of gravity from smartphones toward High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI infrastructure.
This transition is clearly validated by TSMC’s 2025 filings, which show… Read More
Synopsys Foundation IP for Intel 18A is a portfolio of semiconductor building blocks designed to help system-on-chip developers build advanced chips with better power, performance, and area, often called PPA. The offering includes embedded memory compilers, standard-cell logic libraries, and input/output libraries for… Read More
AI inference is quickly becoming the real battleground for next-generation computing. Training still gets the headlines, but inference is where AI becomes a business, a service, and an infrastructure problem. Every chatbot response, agentic workflow, code assistant, scientific model, and enterprise copilot depends on … Read More
