About this event
In the rapidly evolving semiconductor industry, the quest for higher performance, greater integration density, and superior thermal management is relentless. High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems and chiplets are at the forefront of this advancement, pushing the boundaries of technology and demanding innovative packaging solutions.
Traditional materials and methods are increasingly unable to meet these demands, paving the way for the emergence of glass as a pivotal material in semiconductor packaging. This webinar delves into the transformative role of glass in addressing the complex architectural and integration challenges faced in the development of HPC systems and chiplets.
