Abstract: Semiconductor devices, packaging architectures and associated methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a multi-chip module (MCM) is disclosed. The MCM includes a common substrate and a first integrated circuit (IC) chip disposed on the common substrate. The first IC chip includes a first memory interface. A second IC chip is disposed on the common substrate and includes a second memory interface. A first memory device is disposed on the common substrate and includes memory and a first port coupled to the memory. The first port is configured for communicating with the first memory interface of the first IC chip. A second port is coupled to the memory and communicates with the second memory interface of the second IC chip. In-memory processing circuitry is coupled to the memory and controls transactions between the first memory device and the first and second IC chips.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a system in a package (SiP) connectivity using one or more ultra short reach (USR) chiplets. The USR chiplet can receive/transmit data at a lower throughput and transmit/receive that data at a higher throughput over ultra short distances. The USR chiplet can be connected to a main integrated circuit (IC) using a high density interconnect or integrated with the main IC in a mold material. The USR chip can enable the main IC to transfer data over a substrate at a higher speed using a fewer number of traces.

Abstract: A multi-chip module (MCM) includes a common substrate and first and second integrated circuit (IC) chips disposed on the common substrate. The first integrated circuit (IC) chip includes a first interface circuit disposed proximate a first edge of the first IC chip and a second interface circuit disposed proximate the first edge of the first IC chip. A first chiplet couples to the first interface circuit via a first link. A second chiplet couples to the second interface circuit via a second link. A first position of the first chiplet with respect to the first IC chip is staggered in a longitudinal dimension relative to a second position of the second chiplet with respect to the first IC chip.

Abstract: Semiconductor devices, packaging architectures and associated methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a multi-chip module (MCM) is disclosed. The MCM includes a package substrate and a first integrated circuit (IC) chip disposed on the package substrate. The first IC chip includes first core circuitry, and first interface circuitry for communicating with the first core circuitry. A second IC chip is disposed on the package substrate and includes second core circuitry and second interface circuitry for communicating with the second core circuitry. The second interface circuitry exhibits a non-matching interface with respect to the first interface circuitry. Interface adapter circuitry couples to the first interface circuitry and the second interface circuitry to establish a common physical interface (PHY) for communicating between the first core circuitry and the second core circuitry.

Abstract: Semiconductor devices, packaging architectures and associated methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, a multi-chip module (MCM) is disclosed. The MCM includes a first integrated circuit (IC) chip including a first interface defining a first number of interface contacts. Conversion circuitry receives a first full set of signals associated with the first interface and to omit a subset of the full set of signals to generate a reduced set of signals. Serialization circuitry serializes the reduced set of signals to generate a serialized set of signals. A second interface transmits the serialized set of signals with a second number of interface contacts that is less than the first number of interface contacts. A logic IC chip includes a third interface coupled to the second interface via a set of links and configured to match the second interface. Deserialization circuitry deserializes the serialized set of signals.
