Introduction to System in Package (SiP)

System in Package (SiP) is a method used for bundling multiple integrated circuits (ICs) and passive components into a single package, under which they all work together. This contrasts to a System on Chip (SoC), whereas the functions on those chips are integrated into the same die.

Wafer cost is a critical component of IC cost calculation. Wafer cost is based on 4 main factors: wafer technology node, e.g. 5nm, 65nm, 130nm, etc. Wafer options/features, e.g. all the options required on top of the plain vanilla, e.g. mim cap, flash, high voltage, etc. Wafer volume, e.g. how
