Chiplets: How’d We Get HERE? !
Abstract:
A review of the history of chiplets as an architectural and technical solution in advanced
electronics design and manufacture sheds light on future directions and challenges. By reviewing
the bumps in the road thus far, we anticipate the hurdles yet to overcome. The presentation
explores several significant technologies as well as business strategies crucial to successful
deployment of modern chiplet opportunities. Specific areas of interest include hybrid bonding,
assembly hierarchy, substrate and chip supply chain, standardization and system level integration.
Modern Marvels – Episode 7Modern electronic systems incorporate a wide range of marvelous technologies. Each technological building block, in turn, embodies impressive innovation, refinement, and scaling. Semantic naming debates – think SOC vs heterogeneous integration—contribute nothing, influencing neither product requirements nor the available technological building blocks. This genealogy focuses on multiple technologies comprising the modern marvel we call heterogeneous integration (SiP, 2.0/2.5/3.0 D, etc.). Substrates, interconnect and architecture, evolving throughout the past 75 years, form the technology families orchestrating the marvels of modern electronics. This review highlights opportunities to apply and reapply learnings and insights from history to today’s challenges
