Four Reasons Chiplets Will Take Over the World
– and why it hasn’t happened yet
Chiplets are hot! According to all the buzz, chiplets are poised to disrupt just about every sector of the semiconductor industry. What’s behind all the excitement? Let’s talk about that. But first, a definition:
Chiplet: A small modular integrated circuit, containing a well-defined subset of functionality, designed to be combined with other chiplets in a single package to create a complex component.
So, are these chiplets going to take over the world?
The system on chip (SoC) solution is firmly established, with big all-in-one chips controlling everything from smartwatches to personal computers. In the chiplet vision, however, an SoC is replaced by a collection of chiplets integrated via advanced packaging. Can this new technology upend the reigning paradigm?
It all comes down to money, money, product improvement, and business advantage (i.e., money).
