The keynote speakers explored the future of the industry and the innovation landscape from multiple dimensions, and shared and exchanged cutting-edge technologies and specific solutions, providing the participants with authoritative and in-depth insights.
Liu Sheng, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Executive Dean of the Institute of Industrial Science at Wuhan University
In the academic report delivered by the academician, Liu Sheng, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Executive Dean of the Institute of Industrial Science at Wuhan University, shared the speech topic of "Co-design of Chip Integration and Packaging: Manufacturability and Reliability".
In his speech, Academician Liu Sheng pointed out that through in-depth research on the multi-scale collaborative design of chips, packaging, and substrates, relevant core process simulation and reliability prediction models have been established. Typical processes for extreme environments, such as Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP), Through-Silicon-Vias (TSV), via filling, underfill encapsulation, etc., have been optimized. Moreover, the first domestic intelligent production line for the packaging and conditioning of microsensors based on the process twin model has been created and promoted to the packaging of other types of chips. These achievements have effectively promoted the scientific and technological innovation and development of China's semiconductor integrated circuit, LED, sensor, and power electronics chip and packaging industries, and improved the yield rate, high reliability, and even extreme reliability of the industries.
Academician Liu Sheng believes that the new quality productivity based on disruptive technologies is the core force driving industrial transformation. It can stimulate innovation vitality and open up new development spaces. Scientific and technological innovation is the source of new quality productivity, providing a continuous driving force for the semiconductor industry. It promotes continuous technological breakthroughs and product upgrades, leading the industry to a higher level.
In the report on the application trends in the automotive field, Fang Hui, Deputy Research Director of Hangjiashuo Research (Research by Hangjiashuo), and Zhou Yanwu, Research Director of Beijing ZouSi Information Consulting Co., Ltd. and an automotive research expert, respectively explained the application trends and core technical requirements of LED and semiconductor storage in the automotive field.
Fang Hui, Deputy Research Director of Hangjiashuo Research (Research by Hangjiashuo)
Fang Hui mentioned that with the development of the new energy vehicle market, the application of new LED technologies represented by MLED (Mini LED and Micro LED) in the automotive field has entered the production maturity stage. Among them, Micro LED has the advantages of fine and dynamic lighting, the ability to achieve road projection effects, and intelligent functions in ABD headlights. Under such an industry trend, in the past two years, LED manufacturers have increased their efforts to lay out their businesses in the automotive field to seize market development opportunities.
Zhou Yanwu, Research Director of Beijing ZouSi Information Consulting Co., Ltd. and an automotive research expert
Zhou Yanwu emphasized that considering the current UFS data rate and bandwidth, as well as its relatively large footprint and high power consumption, while PCIe SSDs, through multi-chip parallel processing, can meet the specific requirements of the automotive field. For this reason, the evolution from UFS to SSD has become a major trend in the technological evolution of semiconductor storage in the automotive field. In addition, large language models (LLMs) also represent the future trend of intelligent driving. What's more noteworthy is that the memory bandwidth determines the lower limit of the number of parameters in a large model, and large-capacity memory will also be the future development trend of LPDDR.
