A 3D Integrated Circuit (3D IC) is a device in which two or more active electronic layers (dies or wafers) are vertically stacked and interconnected to function as a single integrated system. These layers are interconnected using fine-pitch vertical interconnects, such as Through-Silicon Vias (TSVs) or hybrid bonds, allowing… Read More
Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUV or EUVL) is an advanced semiconductor manufacturing technology used to print the smallest features on integrated circuits (ICs), particularly at leading-edge nodes such as 7nm, 5nm, 3nm, and below. EUV uses light with a wavelength of 13.5 nanometers, which is in the extreme ultraviolet… Read More
Chiplets Wikiby Daniel Nenni on 05-28-2023 at 4:11 pm
Chiplets are small, functional integrated circuit (IC) blocks that are designed to work together in a modular fashion to form a complete system-on-chip (SoC) or system-in-package (SiP). Instead of building a large, monolithic chip on a single die, chiplet-based design breaks the system into multiple smaller dies that are connected… Read More
