Heterogeneous Integration
Heterogeneous Integration (HI) is the process of combining multiple types of chips, components, and technologies into a single advanced package to create a more powerful and efficient system. Instead of relying on one large monolithic chip, heterogeneous integration brings together different functions, materials, and manufacturing nodes—all tightly connected to work as one.
In simple terms, it’s like assembling a high-performance “tech puzzle” where each chiplet or component does what it’s best at, resulting in a smarter, faster, and more energy-efficient device.
