Heterogeneous Integration: Developing a New Generation of 3D Chiplet Packaging Technology for Next Generation Devices

Seung Wook Yoon, Samsung Electronics - Corporate VP / Package Technology Planning, Test & System Package

Currently, the best solution for optimizing silicon systems for any given new workload is to create a system on chip (SoC), monolithic chip. But this gets more expensive with demand for high-performance AI, HPC applications and advanced Si node technology. One way of reducing the cost of Silicon systems for emerging workloads would be to use chiplet technology. From a commercial standpoint, this approach makes a lot of sense. The cost of a highly integrated SoC can be very high- so high it’s prohibitive for many. Furthermore, the complexity of such highly integrated semiconductor systems makes manufacturing more challenging: there is a direct correlation between higher complexity and yield loss. The package technology now sits in the center of the universe for the next generation of devices.

In this presentation, various chiplet packaging technologies including MCM, SiP, integrated wafer level packaging solutions such as 2.5D, 3D and FOWLP will be introduced. These solutions have demonstrated their unique advantages in many applications that require high-end chips (such as CPU, GPU, AI, FPGA, network) or low-end chips (for IoT and wearable devices) in combination with high bandwidth SRAM/DRAM memory.

Additionally, the challenges and opportunities of a new generation of chiplet packaging and decoupling capacitor solutions will be discussed from a system/package co-design, performance and supply chain point of view.

Emerging Opportunities in Heterogeneous design of XPU

Ram Viswanath, Intel Corporation - Vice President and Director of Architecture and Pathfinding

We are entering an era of designing products based on heterogeneous integration on the package, where disaggregated chiplets are  stitched together seamlessly through packaging to derive a quasi-monolithic operation. The talk will focus on product drivers and architectural complexity and the need for execution focus on product cost and TTM.  The need for a disciplined approach to efficiently develop validated IP at the die-package interfaces  will be highlighted. This calls for tight collaboration between physical design, electrical modelling, tools and flows in the design cycle.

Virtual GBC Live Plenary Session

Friends in HI Places...
Enabling the Transition to Heterogeneous Integration

GBC Chairs:
Rich Rice, ASE Group; Lee Smith, Consultant; Thomas Goodman, Izinus

Advancements in substrates and interconnection will be a key requirement in enabling heterogeneous integration (HI) and the gap between device IO or pad densities and substrate interconnect capabilities is expanding.  Substrate technology must transition towards the levels of scaling that the semiconductor industry continues to demonstrate which will require both high levels of innovation and investment.

The industry has been addressing these issues and the urgency for new technologies, solutions and supply chains.  These have been highlighted due to ABF and advanced substrate supply shortages.  This has created major issues for the industry and the cost / availability and yields for the most advanced fcBGA substrates has become a critical issue.  As these applications transition to HI, the substrate size and density requirements can pose major obstacles.

This LIVE Virtual Session will feature 5 expert GBC speakers:

5G Electronics Challenges: High Frequency Materials Characterization  

Session Chair: Urmi Ray, iNEMI

Next-generation 5G communications solutions require ultra-low loss laminate materials and PCBs/substrates for efficient design and manufacturing. However, these materials pose challenges. For example, there is no consistent methodology for measuring transmission loss or Df/Dk, especially for higher frequencies (e.g., >30 GHz). Many different approaches are currently used, requiring different fixtures and test methods, sample preparation, and/or data analysis/extraction. In response, iNEMI members organized the 5G/mmWave Materials Assessment and Characterization project to develop guidelines and best practices for a standardized measurement and test methodology that can be shared with industry and relevant standards organizations.

This session will provide 5 presentations (25 minute presentations + 5 minutes of live Q&A) outlining the status of the benchmarking phase as shown in the paper titles below:

 Keynote Presentation 

System Design of Advanced Power Electronics and Sensing Technologies for Off-Road Vehicle Applications

Brij Singh, John Deere - Region 4 Manager External Relationships and John Deere Fellow in Power Electronics Engineering

Mark Chaney, John Deere - Automation Delivery teams at the Intelligent Solutions Group (ISG)

Scott Johnson, John Deere - Senior Control Systems Engineer for Power Electronics

This presentation is divided into three segments; (a) Automation & Autonomy for John Deere Vehicles, (b) Silicon Carbide (SiC) Power Electronics for Heavy-Duty Vehicles, and (C) Electrification and Controls.

In autonomy section, enabling technologies including sensors will be covered for John Deere agriculture vehicles for crop management, right from farm preparation to the crop harvesting. It would be clearly outlined that how automation is supporting John Deere objectives for significantly increased performance and productivity of the farming vehicles by job automation, resulting in doing more in the less time with optimally minimized input costs incurred by growers. Automation supports John Deere aspirations to unlock customer value that were not possible without advanced sensors and on-board and in-cloud computation, including data management necessary for the next growing season of crops.

In SiC power electronics section, John Deere project co-funded by DOE-PowerAmerica will be discussed including packaging and thermal management of the SiC inverter. Vehicle electrification has enabled John Deere’s construction and mining customers to enjoy benefits of the increased performance, productivity, up-time, and fuel economy gains. JD 644K and 944K Loaders have established and met industry leading reliability goals and expectations, these aspects will be briefly explained in the presentation.

In electrification and control section, enabling aspects of the electrified plater will be discussed as the ExactEmergeTM Planter has uncovered customer values beyond anyone imagination. The ExactEmergeTM has allowed John Deere customers to exactly place seeds on the ground at proper depth with precise spacing while maintaining appropriate gap for row crops. Industry leading high speed precision planting enabled by electrification has unlocked significant customer values for crop growers, this aspect will be explained in the presentation.

Attendees of this presentation will get impression that with vehicle electrification coupled with job automation, John Deere has established industry leading position in the precision farming and agriculture. John Deere’s Emerging Technologies will ensure that the vast population of the world is fed, sheltered, and clothed in the ecofriendly and sustained manner.
