Huawei HiSilicon focuses on chip design, and after more than ten years of chip research and development, HiSilicon has contributed a lot of chip industry accumulation to Huawei. Whenever Huawei has any development needs, HiSilicon can undertake the heavy responsibility of chip research and development and project research.

At present, Huawei is already exploring chip stacking technology, and in this technical field, Huawei has a new chip research and development technology achievement. According to Huawei, it brought a second chip stacking patent technology.

Can this technology solve the chip problem? What kind of industrial changes will chip stacking bring?

Huawei announces patented technology for blockbuster chips

Huawei's research and exploration of chips is very in-depth, and its HiSilicon Semiconductor was one of the world's top ten semiconductor companies at its peak. Even now, HiSilicon still maintains its top scientific research strength, but the changes in the market make everyone feel less deeply about it. The news is enough to prove that Huawei's HiSilicon chip research and development strength is not bad.

On May 6, Huawei announced a chip stacking patent entitled "Chip Stacking Packaging Structure, Packaging Method, and Electronic Equipment." From the introduction of the patent abstract, it can be seen that this patent is used to solve the problem of multiple sub-chip stacking units in the same main chip stacking unit.

The publication of this patent means that Huawei's research on chip stacking technology is further, because before that, Huawei also published a technology patent related to chip stacking, called "a chip stacking packaging and terminal equipment".

So far, Huawei has published two chip stacking patents, and both provide solutions to different problems. With Huawei announcing the blockbuster chip patent technology, can the chip problem be solved?

If it is from a theoretical point of view, chip stacking already has a certain accumulation of knowledge system. Huawei also mentioned the use of chip stacking for performance, coupled with Huawei has a number of patents in hand, technical problems have also been solved to a certain extent.

Therefore, in some specific equipment fields, and the domestic chip industry chain can achieve a level of self-sufficiency, the use of chip stacking technology or is expected to solve the chip problem.

Of course, this part of the chip is not necessarily the smart phone SOC that everyone thinks, this kind of device even Apple can not do chip stacking, but the chip stacking technology is used in the host device. Therefore, the chip problem solved is most likely to be some mature process products.

After all, people who understand chip stacking technology know that at this stage, it is only a specific product device, such as a device with a large tolerance for chip area, which is more suitable for chip stacking, and it is unlikely that chip stacking will be placed in a smart phone product with a small space area.

But even if the scope of use is inclusive, as long as chip support can be provided, it is always a good thing.

After all, Huawei's business is not only smart phones, but also increased shipments of other equipment products can achieve good market feedback. Huawei has repeatedly stressed the need to live with quality, how to do this, I believe That Huawei has its own considerations.

Once chip stacking technology is used by Huawei in actual products and faces the consumer market, it may be that Huawei will go further along with shipments.

What kind of industrial changes will chip stacking bring?

Apple M1 Ultra is the use of chip stacking technology, the birth of this chip has caused widespread concern in the industry for chip stacking. Basically, those who question the feasibility of chip stacking are silent, but at the same time they raise new questions, since chip stacking technology is feasible, what kind of industrial changes will these technologies bring?

If you just provide a performance superposition function, it may not be enough for Companies such as Huawei and Apple to enter it.

The most important thing is that the chip stacking involves a huge industrial chain, which means that the suppliers, companies, etc. involved in it are likely to usher in market opportunities in the new chip stacking industry.

For example, TSMC's packaging technology developed over the years has finally come in handy, using advanced packaging technology to help Apple compose two M1 MAX and a new M1 Ultra. And Apple also stands at the peak of the electronic chip industry with this chip.

The changes in the industry are obvious, and there will be more and more institutions and companies entering the market in the future. Starting in the design industry, more space is reserved to support the increase in area that comes with chip stacking.

In the manufacturing industry, packaging technology is used. Not only these, Intel and Samsung, TSMC and other companies to establish the UCIe Alliance, but also for the small chip stacking technology to establish interoperability standards.

All kinds of signs show that chip stacking will bring about new industrial changes, so that practitioners have more development ideas. It also gives the electronic chip industry, which is facing the limits of Moore's Law, the possibility of breaking the ice.

Therefore, the significance of chip stacking technology is not only to improve the performance of chips, but also to develop a series of industries behind it. Huawei will also become a part of the industrial chain, but these are all for later.

At present, what Huawei needs to do is to precipitate technology, develop more chip stacking patents, and wait for the future when the time is ripe for everything to usher in a turnaround.

summary

Huawei has successively announced chip stacking patents, if there is no research intention in this regard, how can it achieve so many technological breakthroughs. Whether Huawei can use chip stacking technology in actual products like Apple still needs to be expected. But Huawei will certainly not give up any opportunity to break the game, and look forward to more good news from Huawei.
