RIP Simon Sze NAND flash memory owes its existence to the pioneering work of two Bell Labs researchers, Simon Sze and Dawon Kahng. This breakthrough, akin to William Shockley's discovery of the transistor effect and the integrated circuits developed by Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce, marked a significant milestone in semiconductor technology.

ECTC 2023 was a place of technology exuberance, where innovators gathered to reveal creative solutions as #semiconductors, #chiplets and #systems continue to proliferate across global life, and beyond. Heterogenous integration is a major enabler, by using #advancedpackaging to bring critical functionality together in one IC package. The scope is expanding, especially when it comes to accelerating #AI and #HPC innovation. In that vein, ASE introduced a FOCoS-Bridge technology breakthrough, achieved through qualifying a large 70mm x 78mm package that incorporates two ASICs and eight High Bandwidth Memory (#HBM) devices connected through eight silicon bridges. At ECTC, we really put a spotlight on our #bridge technology - thanks to everyone that stopped by. #VIPack #ECTC2023. For more: https://bit.ly/45wLO7A
