Title: Heterogeneous Integration Roadmap (HIR)

Workshop Description: Heterogeneous Integration (HI) of disparate computing and communications functions is a key performance enabler in micro-electronic systems. HI is crucially enabled by advanced packaging since packages offer compact, power efficient platforms for HI. This talk will describe the role of advanced 2D and 3D packaging in enabling HI and will focus on the evolution of packaging to provide increased interconnect density. This workshop shares an update of HIR and progresses of HIR in recent years to a wide audience.
