flag imec’s NanoIC releases two new PDKs for advanced chip interconnects, enabling faster, more efficient chiplet designs for AI and high-performance computing.

flag The NanoIC pilot line, led by imec, has released two new public process design kits (PDKs) for fine-pitch redistribution layers and die-to-wafer hybrid bonding, enabling faster, more energy-efficient chip interconnects. flag These tools support next-generation chiplet designs, boosting communication speeds by up to 40% and cutting energy use by up to 15% on UCIe-Advanced interfaces. flag The PDKs allow early-stage design and testing for applications in AI, high-performance computing, GPUs, and automotive systems, with future versions expected to support full fabrication. flag This marks the first time such advanced interconnect technologies are openly accessible, expanding NanoIC’s suite to five public PDKs covering logic, memory, and interconnects for beyond-2nm semiconductor development.
