The conventional method of advancing to smaller process nodes to fit more features on silicon is becoming obsolete due to high costs and limitations. The path forward is in heterogeneous chiplets, tailored for specific markets. While logic will continue to scale, other functionalities are being developed into chiplets using various process technologies. High-bandwidth memory is already seeing this shift, and the next focus will be on I/O. Letizia Giuliano, VP of IP product marketing and management at Alphawave Semi, discusses the complexities of integrating chiplets and how this differs from traditional SoC designs (Sperling, 2024).
