Intel vs. Samsung vs. TSMC


Foundry competition heats up in three dimensions and with novel technologies as planar scaling benefits diminish.

Those chiplets can be mounted on a substrate in a 2.5D configuration, an approach that has gained traction in data centers because it simplifies the integration of high-bandwidth memory ( HBM), as well as in mobile devices, which also include other features such as image sensors, power supplies, and additional digital logic used for non-critical functions. TSMC has experimented with a number of different options, including both RDL and non-RDL bridges, fan-outs, 2.5D chip-on-wafer-on-substrate (CoWoS), and System On Integrated Chips (SoIC), a 3D-IC concept in which chiplets are packed and stacked inside a substrate using very short interconnects. Smaller transistors provide greater energy efficiency, allowing more processing per square millimeter of silicon, but the gate structure needs to be changed to prevent leakage, which is why forksheet FETs and CFETs are on the horizon.
