$40 Million In Backers, Together with Intel And Micron
It’s somewhat early to sound the demise of TSMC, nevertheless it does seem like they may have some new competitors. Eliyan are providing another interconnect know-how they’ve known as NuLink, to compete with TSMC’s CoWoS and Intel’s EMIB designs. The founders of Eliyan hope that their know-how will likely be utilized in partnership with the prevailing processes, they don’t intend to attempt to unseat the 2 behemoths.
Eliyan’s CEO Ramin Farjadran, as soon as of Marvell Semiconductor, feels that the present interconnect designs are costly to make and sluggish to supply; which isn’t flawed. NuLink is meant to be cheaper and faster to manufacture in addition to being comprised of supplies which might be simpler to supply than what TSMC and Intel at the moment use. It’s based mostly on a bunch-of-wires (BoW) design, akin to is discovered within the Open Compute Undertaking and any fab firm ought to be capable of undertake the design simply.
It’s a new tackle an present know-how, and is compliant with the Common Chiplet Interconnect Specific (UCIe) normal developed by Intel which ought to assist tempt firms to no less than think about making an attempt it out. Drop by The Register for extra particulars on the know-how and the folks behind it.
