Explained: What the hell is 3D IC packaging?
The processor and memory are on one layer.
The sensors for heart rate monitoring, GPS, and motion detection are on another layer.
The battery is on yet another layer.

Intel Found Guilty of Chip IP Theft, Fined $2.2 Billion
In March 2021, a pivotal jury decision rocked the tech industry, awarding VLSI Technology a substantial $2.18 billion in damages after finding Intel guilty of patent infringement.
Explained: What the hell is a semiconductor?
Just like traffic controllers managing the flow of vehicles through intricate cityscapes, semiconductors orchestrate the movement of electrons to create the magic of electronics.
How Chiplets Can Change the Future by extending Moore’s law
Chiplets are tiny integrated circuits (ICs) that contain a well-defined subset of functionality. They are designed to be combined with other chiplets on an interposer in a single package which can lead to improved performance, reduced power consumption, and increased design flexibility.
How Gen AI is ready to disrupt VLSI verification jobs
Gen AI can be used to automate many of the tasks currently performed by human engineers, such as test generation, debugging, and coverage analysis. This could lead to job losses in the short term, as companies automate their verification processes.
A Day in the Life of a Process Integration Engineer in a Semiconductor Fab
A critical issue has arisen in the Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) process step that could potentially result in the scrapping of a significant number of wafers.
India’s First Indigenous Microprocessor: Shakti
The Shakti processor is based on the RISC-V instruction set architecture, which is an open-source architecture that is gaining popularity in the embedded and IoT markets. RISC-V is a good choice for India because it is royalty-free, which means that Indian companies can use it without having to pay licensing fees to foreign companies.
Journey of a VLSI Chip “AetherX” – Part 10
The challenge lay in subjecting AetherX to a comprehensive battery of tests that could simulate a wide range of operating conditions.
How China Became a Foe of the United States?
The United States and China have a long and complicated history, and their relationship has been characterized by both cooperation and rivalry. In the early years of the People's Republic of China (PRC), the United States supported the country's economic development and provided military assistance.
How Chip Fabrication Is Like Printing a Book
Both processes involve the creation of a physical representation of information. Both processes rely on the use of printing. And both processes have had a major impact on the modern world.
