• Restraint: Thermal issues resulting from higher level of integration
• 3D IC offers highly dense multi-level integration per unit footprint. Though this is attractive for many applications where miniaturization is a concern, it also creates challenges for thermal management; increased integration leads to high on-chip temperature. 3D ICs have several issues that must be resolved, including a larger form factor, the requirement for a larger silicon interposer, and longer design cycles. Overheating is observed during the production of 3D ICs with TSVs. Elevated temperatures result in a drop in threshold voltage and degradation of mobility. The resistance and power dissipation increases as a major part of the component is made up of metal.
• Opportunity: Rising number of smart infrastructure and smart city projects
• 3D IC packaging can play a significant role in the development and implementation of smart city technology. Smart cities rely on a variety of electronic devices, sensors, and systems to collect and analyze data in real time, enabling better decision-making and more efficient resource management. By using 3D IC packaging, these devices and systems can be made smaller and more powerful and energy efficient. This helps reduce the overall cost and size of smart city infrastructure while improving performance and reliability.
• Challenge: Reliability challenges with 3D IC packaging
• The semiconductor industry business is primarily driven by applications such as data centers/cloud, mobility, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The packaging technique must advance alongside the scaling of integrated circuit (IC) technology in order to fulfill the demands of next-generation information and communication technology (ICT) systems. Package design and development must simultaneously meet cost, performance, form factor, and reliability objectives. In terms of powering the design, the power density is higher for a given footprint than for traditional 2D chips. However, answering reliability issues will be crucial.
