The Lines Are Blurring Between System and Silicon. You’re Not Ready.
3D-ICs bring together multiple silicon dies into a single package that’s significantly larger and complex than traditional systems on a chip (SoCs). There’s no doubt these innovative designs are revolutionizing the semiconductor industry.
3D-ICs offer a variety of performance advantages over traditional SoCs. Because … Read More
Thermo-compression bonding for Large Stacked HBM Die
Summary
Thermo-compression bonding is used in heterogeneous 3D packaging technology – this attach method was applied to the assembly of large (12-stack and 16-stack) high bandwidth memory (HBM) die, with significant bandwidth and power improvements over traditional microbump attach.
Introduction
The rapid growth of heterogeneous… Read More
The World’s Smallest Printed Circuit Boards: interposers
Have you ever had the experience where you look up some unusual word in the dictionary since you don’t remember seeing it before. And then, in the next few weeks you keep coming across it. Twice in the last week I have been in presentations about the economics of putting die onto silicon interposers and the possibility of a new… Read More
