Solutions are Increasingly Silicon-Based
RF moves from QFN to wlCSP
Driven by footprint and cost
Memory moves much closer to the logic in 2.5D and 3D
Driven by power reduction and increased bandwidth
3D memory stacks replace 2D DIMMs
Driven by bandwidth, density, footprint
Interconnect density increases
Driven by progressively denser Si nodes
Driven by SoC disaggregation

Disaggregation
SOC scaling is not delivering full entitlement of cost/area improvement
Enables SoC “fission” into best cost-performance fit node for each chip
Enables high bandwidth and increased performance per joule
Enables re-use without re-design…lower risk and lower cost
But requires more complex packaging solutions
