From Internal Designs to Open Chiplet Economy: Discussion on How to Create Open, Democratized Access to Chiplet Technology

Generally available chiplets in an Open Marketplace promise to speed up semiconductor system design and lower development costs. They can be seen as the best of soft-IP and individually packaged chips, giving you the breadth of specific functionality of IP and the well-defined form factor and known-good parts of the latter. However, there are a plethora of challenges before we can get to this end-state of an open chiplet marketplace that everybody is hoping for, ranging from missing standards to partially unclear value propositions. In this panel, we will discuss these challenges and tabulate progress with a group of experts in the field.
