Chiplets

Chiplets are small, modular integrated circuit components that can be combined to create more complex semiconductor assemblies. Unlike traditional monolithic chips, which are fabricated as a single piece, chiplets allow for different functions, technologies, and processes to be integrated within a single package. This modular approach enables manufacturers to mix and match chiplets based on performance, power, and area requirements, providing flexibility in design and production. Chiplets can facilitate the scaling of systems, potentially reducing costs and time to market, while improving yield rates by allowing for more efficient use of silicon. They are often connected through high-speed interconnects and can be used in various applications, including CPUs, GPUS, and specialized processing units. This innovative architecture is becoming increasingly popular in the semiconductor industry as it addresses challenges related to complexity, performance, and power efficiency.
