Author: Dr Yu-Han Chang, Senior Technology Analyst at IDTechEx   The semiconductor industry continually pushes packaging technology boundaries to meet the demand for higher chip performance and efficiency. Bandwidth is one of the critical factors defining the amount of data transmitted between dies on a package. Bandwidth, crucial for communication speed and efficiency, is impacted by factors such as IO/mm and Datarate/IO, which are, in turn, influenced by the dielectric materials selected for 2.5D and 3D packaging. This article explores the technology trends in dielectric materials for both 2.5D and 3D…
