“Although the inflated excitement has started to plunge after few years of hype, Fan-Out technologies are still very well established in low-end and high-end applications”, asserts Favier Shoo, Technology & Market Analyst at Yole
Nowadays, there is broad consensus in the memory industry that the 28nm/22nm silicon lithography nodes will be the last technology nodes for eFlash[2]. This is not because of fundamental scalability limitations, but because of economic barriers. Therefore a new embedded NVM[3] for code/data storage is needed. At the same time, scaling
