New Packaging and Interconnect Technologies for Ultra Thin Chips

This paper shows different approaches to use the availability of ultrathin chips for the realization of new packages with high density and improved performance. For several years technologies have been developed for the embedding of chips in circuit boards in order to achieve 3D-packages using conventional processes from PCB manufacturing. Ultrathin chips are suited to be integrated in rigid ci...

Advanced Interconnect Technologies for Future ULSI Applications

Scaling trends and limitations of existing interconnect technologies are discussed and two prospective future solutions carbon nanotube (CNT) and optical interconnects are examined in detail. The inherent unscalability of metal interconnects and degradation of their performance in the light of ever-increasing transistor density and performance is emphasized. Problems with multi-layer low-k/copp...

Online Analytical Processing and Data-Cube Technologies

introduction Since the late '80s and early '90s, database technologies have evolved to a new level of applications: online analytical processing (OLAP), where executive management can make quick and effective strategic decisions based on knowledge in terms of queries against large amounts of stored data. Some OLAP systems are also regarded as decision support systems (DSSs) or executive informa...

Status and Application of Advanced Semiconductor Technologies

GaAs HBT technology is being challenged for existing and new product applications. SiC FETs and GaN HEMTs have been shown to have significant power delivery advantage when large supply voltages are required. InP HBTs are emerging as the next technology for very high-speed applications. After years of promise and controversy, the SiGe HBT is beginning to be applied in high-performance systems. P...
