Keynote
Advanced Packaging Technologies for the AI era
Advanced packaging is enabling unprecedented levels of integration, enabling dense interconnection of logic, memory and optical chiplets, to create a system in a package. In AI & data centric applications, the amount of silicon content in a single package is increasing dramatically every generation. To meet future scaling, high speed signaling and power delivery needs, the package substrate must also evolve significantly. In this talk, we will cover some of the recent advances in the EMIB package platform including multiple scaling vectors such as die to die interconnection pitch, package form factor and the introduction of a bridge with TSV to enable denser and more efficient integration on package. Further, we will also cover the Intel’s latest breakthrough’s in glass core substrates which have superior mechanical, physical and optical properties and can drive dramatic improvements in chiplet integration on a substrate.
