WEEK 2
Packaging Trends Part 1
In this module you will have an opportunity to view a lecture video by Ravi Mahajan who is an Intel Fellow and the Director of Pathfinding for Assembly and Packaging technologies for 7-nanometer (7nm) silicon and beyond in the Technology Development and Manufacturing Group at Intel Corporation. In this module Dr. Mahajan will discuss the evolution and impact of packaging on product performance and innovation. He shows how packaging has enabled better products using heterogeneous integration (HI) by improving the interconnects, signaling, power delivery and thermals over the years.

WEEK 3
Packaging Trends Part 2
In this module you will have an opportunity to view a lecture video by Dr. Ravi Mahajan, Intel Fellow.

In this module Dr. Mahajan will discuss how interconnect scaling can enable complex multi-chip packages (MCPs) that combine different types of chips and technologies. You will learn about the various interconnect options and trade-offs for MCPs, and how blending 2D and 3D architectures.

WEEK 5
Heterogeneous Integration Part 2
In this module you will have an opportunity to view a lecture video by Dr. Ravi Mahajan, Intel Fellow. In this module Dr. Mahajan will discuss the trends in interconnect scaling for microelectronics systems. You will learn how 2D and 3D die-to-die (D2D) interconnects can enable high performance, how D2D link standardization can facilitate systematic and modular design of multi-chip packages (MCPs), and how co-packaging optics can address the challenge of off-package bandwidth scaling in future systems.

WEEK 6
Advanced Packaging End of Course Summary
In conclusion of Advanced Packaging, we would like to summarize the main takeaways. Starting with Pathway for Assembly and Packaging technologies, we discussed trends in interconnect scaling of microelectronics systems 7-nanometer (7nm) silicon and beyond. During our presentations, we saw how 2D and 3D die-to-die (D2D) interconnects can enable high performance and can facilitate the systematic and modular design of multi-chip packages (MCPs). Turning to the future, we estimated how co-packaging optics could address the challenge of off-package bandwidth scaling in future systems.

In this course, we will explore the electrical properties of materials and classify different materials as conductors, semiconductors or insulators. We will look at some examples of conductors, semiconductors and insulators, and note the key factors that cause the differences in their electrical properties. We will use rudimentary band theory to show how temperature impacts the conductivity of the three classifications of materials. We will learn what causes the differences in electrical behavior of a p-type versus an n-type semiconductor in a p-n diode.
