We continue to deal with a paradox: semiconductor chips are necessary to support digitalization and society’s transition to lower carbon power and transportation. At the same time, semiconductor manufacturing is resource- and energy-intensive. Efficiency improvements are one part of the solution, but they can only take us so far. There’s...
Challenges to 3DHI and chiplets remain, but new advanced packaging foundry solutions are stacking up The industry consensus is that the path to extending Moore’s Law lies in heterogeneous integration (HI) and chiplet architectures. Why, then, are we still waiting for the full adoption of HI, 3DHI, and chiplets? The...
The “Global Talent Shortage” is a buzzword that everybody uses nowadays. But what does it mean? The most used definition I found was that employers cannot find the people they need with the right blend of technical skills and human strengths. The talent shortage is a significant concern in the...
