Process Flow: Yields
Evidence
However, yields at the front end are also challenging, and we think yield is more of a problem at the front end.
Context After
The reason goes back to the 3DIC assembly and the TSVs. One of the challenges is the Power Distribution Network (PDN) with the TSVs needing to be able to deliver power up the stack. TSV layout and design is proprietary and one of the main areas of differentiation between the various manufacturers.
One of HBM’s key challenges is delivering power up the stack with power TSVs. Refresh operations especially draw a lot of power, and the design of the power distribution network is important. Hynix’s HBM3E has reduced peripheral area and introduced all-around power TSVs on the die instead of having two banks of power TSVs, thereby increasing the number of TSVs by almost 6x. As a result, SKH has achieved a much lower IR drop, up to 75% lower for VPP.
