Could China balance the demand and supply of semiconductor products? / 中国能否平衡半导体产品的供需？

Abstract / 摘要

Since 2013, China has been the world’s largest importer of semiconductor products, with an annual import value of more than 200 billion US dollars. Since 2018, it has exceeded US $300 billion, about 75% of global semiconductor sales in that year.
Although China imports about 75% of global semiconductor products, a considerable part of them are installed in systems and exported to other countries in the world. About $150 billion of semiconductor products are consumed locally.
Correspondingly, although China’s domestic semiconductor industry has maintained a growth rate of about 20% in the past 10 years, the revenue of the domestic semiconductor products is only around 40 billion US dollars. In other words, the domestic products account for less than 30% of demand.
Facing the huge gap between demand and local supply, what measures China will take and what measures should be taken to develop the domestic semiconductor industry will not only be concerned the Chinese people, but also affect other countries in the world, especially in the current complex international environment.

2013年以来，中国已成为全球最大的半导体产品进口国，年进口额超过2000亿美元。2018年以来，更超过3000亿美元，约占当年全球半导体销售收入的75%。
虽然中国进口了全球75%的半导体产品，但其中相当一部分是安装在系统整机中出口到了世界其他国家。中国本地消费的半导体产品大约1500亿美元。
虽然中国国内的半导体产业在过去10年里保持了20%左右的年均复合增长速度，但国内半导体产品的全部收入只有400亿美元左右。换言之，国内产品仅能满足不到30%的需求。
面对巨大需求与本地供给的巨大差距，中国会采取什么措施及应该采取什么措施来发展国内半导体产业，不仅是国人关心的问题，也将影响到世界其他国家，尤其在当前复杂的国际环境下。

GaNFast Power IC for AC/DC power converter

Abstract

Aim of this presentation is to introduce a new class of GaN devices and explore all the potential benefits they can provide in a specific range of applications. The new class of devices consist of a 650V Enhanced Mode Monolithic (All-GaN) Power IC targeting ultra-high frequency AC/DC power adapter.

They are designed to offer low RdsON and an unprecedented ease of use and efficiency performance, fully exploiting GaN device capability. The industry’s first monolithic GaN Power IC has all the features necessary for the next generation of high density and high efficiency AC-DC chargers and adapters. Traditional topologies using silicon FETs have reached their limits and GaN Power ICs enable more advanced, soft-switching topologies to operate at 20x higher frequency with increased efficiency and very high power density. GaN Power ICs use lateral enhancement mode (eMode) HEMT technology to overcome the traditional gate driving complexity

The key to GaN’s game-changing attack on silicon is true, monolithic integration – combining GaN FET, GaN logic and GaN analog circuits to achieve a ‘digital-in, power-out’ MHz building block. Monolithic integration enables high-frequency power conversion and the ability to shrink passive components like transformer, EMI filters, output capacitors – to deliver solutions that can charge 3x faster in half the size and weight of old, slow, silicon solutions.

GaN the game-changer is fast, very fast and we will see fast adoption across all markets from fast chargers to all-in-one PCs, TVs, multi-kW server, eMobility and new energy markets.

Development of Wafer Level Packaging Technology: Fan-in, Fanout and 3D Integration / 从扇入、扇出到三维集成的晶圆级封装技术研发进展

Abstract

Wafer level packaging (WLP) technology has progressed rapidly though fan-in, fan-out, and 3D packages. We first look at the preferred fan-in WLP structures based upon reliability performance. Fanout wafer level packaging (FOWLP) technology has drawn industry’s attention tremendously since it was adopted into the mobile application. FOWLP enables wafer level system-in-package (SiP) during which multiple heterogenous chips are integrated into a reconstructed wafer to form a dedicated packaging module. Such a method balanced well the manufacturing cost and module performance with the smallest packages. 3D integration technology is the main solution that can meet the required performance of applications like AI and HPC.

NCAP-China and CASMEIT have started numerous WLP projects to study packaging design structure, reliability, materials verification, and process flows. We present some of our recent work on various applications, such as single chip packaging and multi-chip integration.

近来晶圆级封装（WLP）技术通过扇入、扇出和3维堆叠封装发展迅速。我们先比较基于可靠性的首选扇入式晶圆级封装结构，扇出型晶圆级封装（FOWLP）技术自从被智能手机应用以来，已引起业界的极大关注。FOWLP 支持晶圆级系统集成（SiP），包括多个异质芯片集成到重建的晶圆中，以形成专用的封装模块。这种方法能很好地平衡制造成本、模块性能、以及最小的封装体积。3D集成技术是满足 AI 和 HPC 等应用所需性能的主要解决方案。

华进和中科智芯已经启动很多WLP项目，研究包装设计结构、可靠性、材料验证和工艺流程。我们也将介绍我们最近在各种应用上的一些工作，例如单芯片封装和多芯片集成。

Overview of Leti’s advanced heterogeneous integration for SiP

Abstract

System integration, performance, cost and enhanced product functionality form the major driving force behind contemporary innovations in packaging. The need for miniaturization has led to new architectures, which combine a whole range of different technologies. The ultimate miniaturization goal is to incorporate all of the elements necessary to build the system in the same package. This approach of heterogeneous System in Package (SIP) faces two critical issues: the management of components from different sources and the cost of individual operations necessary to complete the package. The objective of the talk will be to present an overview of recent developments of the CEA, Leti on advanced heterogeneous integration for SiP.

Microelectronic Packaging goes Heterogeneous Integration

Abstract

Main relevance of heterogeneous system integration is to address the needs of complex functionality cost targets and time to market for products in the application areas such as Industry 4.0, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber Physical Systems (CPS), , Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) autonomous driving etc..

Today‘s system integration technologies are driven by System in Package (SiPs) approaches. New technologies are emerging to address the requirements regarding enhanced performance, miniaturization, high speed wireless data transmission, power delivery and multi-device integration.

In this context, heterogeneous integration takes place on wafer level and on board/substrate level as well. Heterogeneous Integration refers to the integration of separately manufactured components and devices into a higher packaging level. Beside the development of new processes and the implementation of new materials heterogeneous integration requires an overall approach which includes design and reliability tasks. The talk will focus on some aspects for the realization of Heterogeneous Wafer Level -SiPs.

Vehicle EE Architecture: centralized High-Performance Computer and core enabler Software

Abstract

The intelligent connected vehicle (ICV) continuously drives the change in E/E vehicle architecture. Main drivers are an increasing number of equipped sensors, an enormously required communication bandwidth going along with enormous computing power capability, steadily increasing external vehicle communication (e.g. 5G, V2X), and finally global time synchronization. The evolution of the E/E vehicle architecture towards a centralized, zonal E/E setup is described. High Performance Computers (HPCs) will become the core of vehicle electronics and will host most of the software. In addition, zonal architectures bear significant savings in length of the wiring harness. There are many challenges in the non-straight forward transition from today’s to future E/E architecture due to both hardware and software legacy. Software excellence will become a key-enabler to master highest complexity. Key areas to be addressed are design for reuse, higher abstraction levels to intellectually understand a complex system, agility along with model/design execution and a high professionalism in software development
