3DIC

Glass may be the high frequency interposer option given silicon concerns about power and noise. TSMC adds another pathfinder to its 3D arsenal.

TSMC stays the course with new co-CEOs as Morris Chang retains executive leadership for now while finFET, 3D and other new technologies settle in.

Stacked 3D-IC memory-on-logic is on the packaging company's roadmap, but there are still yield hurdles to scale at the MEOL.

Packed one-day event has speakers from Cadence, TSMC, Samsung, Amkor, Advantest and more providing a senior level view of making 3D-IC a reality. Registration closes soon.

Memoir Systems has developed a set of memory controller IP cores that exploit common access patterns used by processors in network switches to improve performance and power consumption

FinFETs, ever proliferating verification, 3DIC, security and more feature on our guide to some of the most intriguing panels at DAC 2013.

The chip industry faces problems as foundries and the packaging industry compete over 3D technologies. If resolved, it could mean a new dawn in ASIC design.

3D-IC integration techniques such as the use of TSVs, die stacking and interposers are unlikely to limit performance, according to research from TSMC and IBM
