The Essential Evolution of Packaging in the Systems Foundry Era
The transition to the AI era and the next era of computing requires a fundamental shift in the semiconductor industry to heterogenous systems of chips. A systems foundry approach combines world-class foundry offerings, sustainable and resilient supply, and co-optimized, composable packaging solutions to enable systems of chips with enhanced capabilities and efficiencies for the AI era.
