Description.
Three-dimensional (3-D) integration enables an effective integration of complex systems. In a package using 3-D integration, chips may be stacked and structurally combined. In such a system-in-package (SiP), the vertical distance for signal transmission between two chips is typically smaller than 200 μm. Many vertical chip-to-chip transmission techniques have been developed. Techniques using through-silicon vias (TSVs) require an increased process complexity, whereas near-field chip-to-chip transmission does not involve specific manufacturing steps.
The ZXair-A portfolio relates to a receiver and a transmitter for a near-field chip-to-chip multichannel transmission system such as the capacitive or inductive links used for vertical signal transmission between the stacked chips of a SiP using 3-D integration. These inventions can be used to reduce crosstalk between the transmission channels, over a wide bandwidth. Thus, it becomes possible to increase the number of transmission channels which may be created in a given area and/or to increase the transmission distance.
