Why 3D packaging could be the next breakthrough for processing
By Brian Hendren, Tektronix As semiconductor manufacturers start to reach the potential physical limits of shrinking process nodes, chip packaging is emerging to improve performance. Flip chip assembly remains the most popular method for interconnecting dies, but new advancements in silicon interposers are enabling 2.5D packaging architectures and, in turn, making 3D packaging possible. To […]
Why advanced packaging is vital to the future of semiconductors
The cost and the physics of fitting more transistors in the space available are showing diminishing returns. The concept of “known good die” is much more difficult to quantify. For all the talk in the semiconductor industry about trying to reach 1.8 nm process nodes, advanced packaging and its impact on performance seems to be […]
