Abstract:
Heterogeneous component integration with seamless and 3D connectivity between digital, RF, analog and passive components in a single package with unlimited bandwidth at lower power is the key to realize future electronic and bioelectronic systems. This talk describes the recent nanomaterial and nanoscale component integration breakthroughs that are making heterogeneous integration a reality. The need for high power density and efficiency in mobile, servers, datacenters and automotive electronics is driving advanced packaging technologies for single-stage power conversion close to the active devices. Power passive component (inductors and capacitors) integration is the biggest bottleneck to realize such integrated power modules. Nanomagnetic inductors, high surface area nanocapacitors and innovative 3D component designs will be described. The second part focuses on material and component integration technologies for high-bandwidth 5G-6G communications. Several packaging advances are critical to realize such mm wave to THz communications. These include high-gain antenna arrays in a package with integrated power dividers and combiners, low-loss THz interconnects with substrate-integrated low-loss waveguides, integrated electromagnetic interference isolation structures between power amplifier (PA) and low-noise amplifier (LNA) interconnects and integrated nanomagnetic and nanodielectrics for nonreciprocal and tunable components. The last part of the presentation describes nanopackaging technologies to enable bioelectronic systems with seamless integration between neural recording arrays, active devices and wireless interfaces for ultra-miniaturized wearable and implantable bioelectronic systems. Nanoscale packaging for off-chip interconnections, thermal management, hermetic coatings and encapsulations will also be highlighted.
