Executive Summary• The high end electronic packaging market was worth more than $880 million dollars in 2019. The biggest market for
high end performance packaging comes from telecom and infrastructure. It has more than a 50% market shareaccording to Yole Développement’s report High-End Performance Packaging: 3D/2.5D Integration 2020.
• The NVIDIA Ampere A100 targets high performance data centers, artificial intelligence applications, data analytics, andHigh-Performance Computing (HPC). It uses advanced technologies, including TSMC’s 7nm FinFET chip, 3D stackedmemory with 2.5D integration on a silicon interposer in a Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate (CoWoS) process.
• The new generation GPU provides significantly higher performance compared to the previous generation. The NVIDIAAmpere A100 provides the consumer market with 40GB or 80GB of Samsung’s high bandwidth memory (HBM2).Samsung’s HBM2 is engineered to sustain and support high speed data transfer. The HBM2 DRAM solution satisfies themarket need for high performance, energy efficiency, and compact integration. The NVIDIA Ampere A100 ischaracterized by GPU Memory Bandwidth of 1,555 GB/s. A 3D assembly process yields HBM2 stacks composed of eight1GB memory dies and one logic die, connected with via-middle through-silicon vias and micro-bumps.
• More than 6,000mm² of silicon area is integrated in a single 55mm x 55mm 12-layer ball grid array (BGA) package of theNVIDIA Ampere A100. Two major semiconductor leaders, Samsung and TSMC, collaborate to deliver this much silicon ina single package. TSMC is the main provider for the NVIDIA Ampere A100. Using its 2.5D CoWoS platform, itmanufactures the world’s largest processor built on 7nm process technology. This GPU die features a 7nm FinFETtransistor process and 54 billion transistors on a single chip. It also produces a large silicon interposer on which the GPUand HBM2 memory is assembled at the wafer-level.
• The report includes a complete physical analysis of the package, the GPU die, interposer die and the HBM2 DRAM. Alongwith the manufacturing process of the silicon dies, CoWoS process and final assembly, this report comes with a costanalysis and a price estimation of the NVIDIA Ampere A100. Finally, the report includes a comparison to highlight thesimilarities and differences between the NVIDIA Ampere A100 and NVIDIA’s Tesla P100 and V100.
