White paper explains a real, working HBM/2.5D supply chain
San Jose, California — April 19, 2016 — SK hynix, Amkor Technology, eSilicon, Northwest Logic and Avery Design Systems have co-authored a white paper discussing High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) designs implemented with 2.5D technology.
HBM is a JEDEC-defined standard that utilizes 2.5D technology to interconnect an SoC and an HBM memory stack. Many companies are already using HBM to create very high-bandwidth, low-power products. This white paper presents a complete HBM supply chain that is delivering and supporting customer HBM designs now.
This informative HBM design white paper, as well as a video of the companion webinar, is now available online.

Analysts bullish on IoT security
ABI Research analysts say the burgeoning Internet of Things (IoT) will be the next big market for cyber security. “While it remains a fragmented market that has yet to consolidate, the ecosystem is expanding with vendors finding their way into three groups,” the researchers wrote in a recent blog post.
GSA Silicon Summit
The theme for our 2016 conference is Influencing Trends, in which we will address how end markets and rising costs are altering the landscape of our industry and forcing companies to rethink their approach to R&D, product development and security.
