Advanced Packaging: at the Heart of Innovation

The semiconductor industry showed impressive figures in 2017: +21.6% year-over-year growth to reach about US$ 412 billion. Without any doubt, the industry is entering a new age, where innovation and disruption are the keywords. In addition to mobile, Yole Développement (Yole) analysts identified emerging mega-drivers that are changing our world step-by-step. Big...

3D ICs Eliminate the Memory Wall

The adoption of 3D ICs allowed the elimination of the “Memory Wall” using a new memory architecture and through silicon via (TSV) technology. While individual ICs became faster with each process node, the communication between the chips was constrained by limited pin counts, power hungry I/Os, and PCB-space limitations. Assembly...
