In an ever-increasingly connected world, the boundaries or obstacles to accessing information are being torn down by business necessity, personal preferences and technical innovations. The Borderless Network is creating the ability for customers to work anywhere, with any device using services and applications like video, collaboration, with a secure, reliable and seamless communication experience...
High end computing and networking applications continue to drive silicon technologies for higher performance, increased bandwidth and frequency. The drive for higher performance has resulted in increased power dissipation. A method for mitigating power dissipation includes reducing the voltage but unfortunately the consequence is reduced noise margin. This paper evaluates the electrical performance...
A custom SRAM was developed for high performance and high reliability network switching applications using 90 nm low-k silicon technology. It is a 13.6 mm x 18.4 mm flip chip chip scale package (CSP) with a 11.12 mm x 16.36 mm die. The package has 838 BGA balls at 0.5 mm pitch. The 0.5 mm ball pitch CSP minimizes electrical package parasitics and enables higher data rate performance. However, the...
Mechanical integrity of interlayer and intralayer dielectric films and its impact on interconnect reliability has become more important as critical dimensions in ultralarge-scale integrated circuits are continuously reduced and Cu interconnect, low-k dielectrics (Cu/low-k) are widely adopted for the new technology nodes. Mechanical integrity of the dielectric films and reliability of interconnect...
For specific applications, there can be significant performance advantages when using a SiP (system in package). With the proper silicon functional partitioning, well controlled interconnect medium, and well tuned interface design; the data bandwidth can be increased by both speed and width. The disadvantages of SiPs are increased risks in reliability, manufacturability, and difficulty with test access,...
