Samsung releases its first 36GB HBM3E 12H DRAM to meet higher requirements in the artificial intelligence era

【Lansheng Technology News】Samsung Electronics announced today that the company successfully released its first 12-layer stacked HBM3E DRAM - HBM3E 12H, which is Samsung's largest HBM product to date.

Samsung HBM3E 12H supports all-weather maximum bandwidth up to 1280GB/s, and the product capacity also reaches 36GB. Compared with Samsung's 8-layer stacked HBM3 8H, HBM3E 12H has significantly increased bandwidth and capacity by more than 50%.

"Artificial intelligence service providers in the current industry increasingly require higher-capacity HBMs, and our new product HBM3E 12H is designed to meet this demand," said Yongcheol Bae, executive vice president of the Memory Product Planning Team at Samsung Electronics , “This new storage solution is part of our efforts to develop multi-layer stacked HBM core technology and provide technology leadership for the high-capacity HBM market in the era of artificial intelligence.

HBM3E 12H uses advanced hot-pressed non-conductive film (TC NCF) technology to keep the height of 12-layer and 8-layer stack products consistent to meet current HBM packaging requirements. This technology will bring even more benefits at higher stacks as the industry looks to alleviate chip bending issues caused by wafers. Samsung has been working to reduce the thickness of its non-conductive film (NCF) material and minimize the gap between chips to 7 micrometers (µm) while eliminating gaps between layers. These efforts have increased the vertical density of its HBM3E 12H product by more than 20% compared to its HBM3 8H product.

Samsung's advanced thermally pressed non-conductive film (TC NCF) technology also improves HBM's thermal performance by allowing the use of bumps of different sizes between chips. During the chip bonding process, smaller bumps are used in signal transmission areas, while larger bumps are placed in areas that require heat dissipation. This approach helps improve product yield.

With the exponential growth of artificial intelligence applications, HBM3E 12H is expected to become the preferred solution for future systems to meet the system's demand for larger storage. With ultra-high performance and ultra-large capacity, HBM3E 12H will help customers manage resources more flexibly while reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the data center. Compared with HBM3 8H, HBM3E 12H is equipped with artificial intelligence applications. It is expected that the average speed of artificial intelligence training can be increased by 34%, and the number of inference service users can also increase by more than 11.5 times [1].

Currently, Samsung has begun to provide HBM3E 12H samples to customers and is expected to begin mass production in the second half of this year.

Intel announces biggest architectural change in company's 40 years

【Lansheng Technology News】Intel unveiled a sweeping update to its processing architecture at its 2023 "AI Everywhere" event, reflected in its mobile Core Ultra processors and desktop Core Ultra processors due to be released in 2024. These architectures combine traditional high-performance CPU cores with specialized cores for low-power tasks, graphics acceleration, and AI acceleration. The latest fifth-generation Xeon CPUs, announced at the same event, focus on server performance and add co-processor cores for cloud AI acceleration.

According to Intel's corporate vision, the future of AI processing is both in the cloud and at the edge. The company predicts that by 2028, 80% of PCs will be "AI PCs" equipped with AI co-processors.

Intel turns to neural processing unit Intel's AI co-processor, called a neural processing unit (NPU), is its latest big innovation. When combined with other dedicated CPU cores, Intel believes the new processors will improve overall performance while reducing power consumption and lowering total cost of ownership (TCO).

The diverse architecture of these devices combines multiple specialized cores assembled in a chipset-based system. Chipsets enable higher yields by reducing the actual silicon area per processor and optimizing the silicon wafers used for each chipset. Like most AI accelerators, Intel's NPU relies heavily on multiply-accumulate (MAC) units. MAC speeds up complex multiplication operations by reducing the need to move data between memory and registers.

Intel released Xeon and mobile processors in late 2023, and plans to launch desktop PC processors using Intel 4 in 2024. Intel 4 process technology is a 7nm geometry process that Intel claims will increase clock speeds by 20% with the same power consumption compared to Intel 7 process (10nm). Core Ultra and fifth-generation Xeon are Intel's first 7nm processors and the first Core CPUs with smaller process geometries since 2019.

From Many Identical Cores to Targeted Dedicated Cores Traditional cloud AI processing uses graphics processing units (GPUs) and tensor processing units (TPUs) for massively parallel processing and matrix math optimization. As a result, Intel's mainstream CPUs have long included GPUs. In Intel's previous architecture, the main CPU core was responsible for handling all computing loads, regardless of the size of the computing load. This will cause low-load tasks to use more power than necessary and take CPU cycles from high-load processes. It also leaves specialized math-intensive processing to the main CPU cores, which are not optimized for specialized operations.

Intel's Xeon server processors and its Core mobile and desktop CPUs have historically relied on speed and optimized software as workarounds. The new system, with multiple dedicated cores, is a radical departure from the "one size fits all" philosophy, instead of just increasing the number of identical cores.

Comprehensive solution to cloud AI with Gaudi3 In addition to the new NPU co-processor, Intel also announced the successor to the Gaudi2 deep learning AI accelerator. Gaudi3 AI accelerator targets cloud computing, large-scale deep learning and generative AI systems. Intel claims that Gaudi3 provides a 4x increase in BF16 performance compared to Gaudi2.

The BF16 (Brain Floating Point) number format is used to improve floating point performance in AI computing. It is a 16-bit variant of the IEEE 754 float32 format. BF16 retains the 8 exponent bits of standard float32, but only retains 8 mantissa significand bits instead of the 24 bits in float32. AI benefits more from the increased speed that comes with using 16-bit math than from the performance penalty from reduced mantissa precision. Gaudi3 will also double network performance and provide 1.5 times the bandwidth of Gaudi2.

Diving into cloud AI, edge AI and large system processing With Xeon server CPUs, workstation/laptop CPUs and Gaudi3 accelerators, Intel has expanded its AI to cover almost all key AI areas. Gaudi3 will find its way into large-scale AI systems. Fifth-generation Xeons will be used in server farms, combining data processing and traditional server activity with accelerated AI capabilities. And Core Ultra mobile and desktop CPUs will bring AI to individual users.

South Korea's major wafer foundry accelerates third-generation semiconductor layout

【Lansheng Technology News】Recently, DB HiTek, a major Korean foundry, hired a power semiconductor expert from ON Semiconductor.

Recently, there has been constant news about Eastern Hi-tech's efforts to increase R&D and production of SiC and GaN. From announcing its entry into this field, purchasing core equipment, and introducing relevant talents, we can see its determination to enter the third-generation semiconductor field.

Dongbu Hi-Tech is not the only Korean company that wants to flex its muscles in the third-generation semiconductor field. Samsung has also previously accelerated its third-generation semiconductor foundry business by purchasing SiC/GaN equipment and hiring external experts with rich experience.

According to TrendForce consulting data, the top five market shares of major SiC power semiconductor manufacturers in 2022 are STMicroelectronics (36.5%), Infineon (17.9%), Wolfspeed (16.3%), and ON Semiconductor (11.6%) ), ROHM (8.1%), and the remaining manufacturers accounted for only 9.6%.

Against this background, in recent years, the Korean government has attached great importance to the development of the third-generation semiconductor industry and formulated a series of policies and plans to promote industrial innovation. For example, the South Korean government plans to invest billions of dollars in the semiconductor industry over the next few years to support research and development and expand production capacity.

Nowadays, many Korean companies have realized the huge market for third-generation semiconductors and have begun to intend to strengthen the construction and upgrading of the SiC/GaN industry. Major Korean semiconductor companies, such as Samsung and LX Semicon, are actively investing in third-generation semiconductor technology. These companies not only invest heavily in research and development, but also seek cooperation and acquisitions globally to accelerate technological progress and market expansion.

In addition, South Korea also has internationally renowned car companies such as Hyundai, Kia, and General Motors. As the world's cars develop toward electric cars, the third-generation automotive power semiconductors represented by SiC have broad room for development.

In addition to Dongbu Hi-tech and Samsung, there are also some Korean companies related to the third-generation semiconductor industry that have a certain international reputation: SK Siltron and Scenic, which produce substrates; STI, which manufactures SiC crystal growth equipment; and TRinno Technology, which produces power devices. Yes Power Technics (now renamed "SK Powertech").

Korean companies have recently continued to increase their investment in the field of SiC/GaN power semiconductors, hoping to get a share of the third-generation semiconductor market. However, it will take time to verify whether these companies can have a place in the international market with many strong players.

Infineon launches new 62 mm package CoolSiC product portfolio to help achieve higher efficiency and power density

【Lansheng Technology News】Infineon Technologies AG recently announced the addition of new industry-standard packaging products to its CoolSiC 1200 V and 2000 V MOSFET module series. It uses a mature 62 mm device half-bridge topology design and is based on the newly launched enhancement-mode M1H silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET technology. This package enables SiC to be used in mid-power applications above 250 kW, where the power density of traditional IGBT silicon technology has reached its limit. Compared with traditional 62mm IGBT modules, its application scope has now expanded to solar energy, servers, energy storage, electric vehicle charging piles, traction, commercial induction cookers and power conversion systems.

Enhanced M1H technology can significantly widen the gate voltage window, even at high switching frequencies, without any restrictions, ensuring high gate reliability against induced voltage spikes caused by drivers and layout. Additionally, extremely low switching and transmission losses minimize cooling requirements. Combined with high reverse voltage, these semiconductor devices also meet another requirement of modern system design. With Infineon's CoolSiCTM chip technology, the converter design can become more efficient and the power rating of a single inverter can be further increased, thereby reducing the overall system cost.

Featuring a copper base plate and threaded interface, the package features a highly robust mechanical design that increases system availability, lowers service costs and reduces downtime costs. Excellent reliability is achieved through strong thermal cycling capabilities and a continuous operating junction temperature (Tvjop) of 150°C. Its symmetrical internal package design enables the upper and lower switches to have the same switching conditions. Optional pre-applied thermal interface material (TIM) is available to further enhance the module’s thermal performance.
