Discussing Chiplets with Ming Zhang

The Amp Hour · 5 Jul 2020 · 1h 02m · Episode 499

What this episode covers

Ming Zhang, co-founder and CEO of zGlue, explains how his company uses chiplet integration to create custom, highly miniaturized integrated circuits that combine off-the-shelf silicon components like Nordic microcontrollers and Bosch sensors. Zhang details the 'Omni chip' reference design, the 'smart fabric' substrate that enables programmable interconnects, and the 'Chip Builder' cloud tool that allows designers to configure these bespoke chips without traditional ASIC complexity. The discussion covers the technical architecture, cost structure via shuttle programs, and the strategic advantage of heterogeneous integration as Moore's Law slows.

    322: Learn Assembly Code

    Ramiro Montes de Oca, CEO and founder of aThing.io, explains his company's 'motionless electronics'—modular, penny-sized components that connect via phone-style connectors without soldering. He discusses the technical architecture of these modules, the emerging chiplet industry standard led by the Chiplet Alliance, and the business challenges of scaling hardware manufacturing during global supply chain disruptions. Montes de Oca also shares insights from exhibiting at CES and the importance of design-for-manufacturing for early-stage founders.

    Advanced Packaging & Chiplet Design with Chipletz

    Stephen Newberry, Victor Kronberg, and Ching-Ping Wong from Chipletz, a fabless advanced packaging company, discuss their technical paper presented at DesignCon on the wallstrip transmission line. They explain how this novel die-to-die interconnect structure eliminates the need for a silicon interposer, reducing layer count and cost while improving insertion loss and enabling higher data rates (up to 58 GT/s) for UCIE interfaces. The team highlights the signal integrity challenges of managing crosstalk in this tall, vertical trace configuration and discusses the significant hurdles preventing an open chiplet marketplace, such as lack of standardization and limited assembly capabilities for fine-pitch dies.

    Episode 2: The Business of Going Vertical

    Ben Bajarin and Jay Goldberg discuss the strategic drivers behind technology companies like Apple, Google, and Amazon designing their own silicon, arguing that vertical integration is driven by competitive advantage and roadmap control rather than simple cost savings. They highlight how semiconductor giants like Broadcom, AMD, and MediaTek are responding by offering semi-custom services to retain these high-value customers, while noting that Chinese automotive companies are aggressively pursuing in-house chip design for autonomy due to US sanctions. The conversation explores the shift from commodity merchant silicon to specialized, high-ASP custom chips, emphasizing the role of software-defined hardware and the democratization of chip design tools.
