Samsung acquired next-generation semiconductor packaging technology
On May 06, 2021, Samsung announced the immediate availability of its next-generation 2.5D packaging technology Interposer-Cube4 (I-Cube4) to lead the evolution of chip packaging technology once again.
This new chip packaging technology will intensify competition with Taiwan’s TSMC, which is currently the world’s leading foundry company that has been increasing its market share based on its own packaging technology.
The company’s I-Cube4 is a heterogeneous integration technology that horizontally places one or more logic dies (CPU, GPU, etc.) and several High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) dies on top of a silicon interposer, making multiple dies operate as a single chip in one package.
Samsung’s new i-Cube 4 (including four HBMs and a logic chip) was developed in March as a successor to i-Q2. From high-performance computing (HPC) to AI, 5G, cloud, and large data center applications, I-Cube4 is expected to bring faster communication and energy efficiency between logic and storage through heterogeneous integration.
Moonsoo Kang, senior vice president of Foundry Market Strategy at Samsung Electronics said:
“With the explosion of high-performance applications, it is essential to provide a total foundry solution with heterogeneous integration technology to improve the overall performance and power efficiency of chips. With the mass-production experience amassed through I-Cube2 and the commercial breakthroughs of I-Cube4, Samsung will wholly support customers’ product implementations.”
Generally, the area of the silicon law clamp is increased proportionally to accommodate more logic deaths and HBM. Since the silicon interposer in the i-cube is thinner (about 100 microns) than paper, larger interposers are more likely to bend or warp, which will negatively affect product quality.
Samsung has studied how to control the warpage and thermal expansion of the partition wall by changing the material and thickness with its expertise and rich knowledge in the semiconductor field, thereby commercializing the i-Cube 4 solution.
In addition, the company has also developed its own moldless structure for i-Cube 4 to eliminate heat and increase yield by conducting a pre-screening test that can filter out defective products during the manufacturing process. This approach provides other benefits, such as reduced processing steps, saving costs, and reducing turnaround time.

Samsung is considering to launch an FE-branded Galaxy Z Flip 7 next year. The company reportedly entered a review of plans to introduce an affordable foldable phone this year. There is speculation that the rumored Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE might not debut this year.
According to TheElec, Samsung has been planning to launch the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE next year. It may be cheaper than the regular variant in favor of a downgraded display and processor. However, Samsung’s pricing strategy would be worth seeing for its first affordable Flip phone.
This year, the South Korean tech giant is expected to launch only two foldable phones. While there are no signs of a Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra, the Fan Edition may also be canceled in review. Therefore, an FE lineup of foldable phones – Flip and Fold will likely join the segment in 2025.
Samsung could hold the next Galaxy Unpacked on July 10 in Paris. At the event, the company may not only launch new foldable phones but the Galaxy Watch 7 series and Galaxy Buds 3 Pro could also be launched. Well, Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed the event so far.
We are also hearing that the Exynos 2400 might not be employed in the Galaxy Z Flip 6 this year. The company has reportedly tested it but the chip has failed to offer satisfactory results. This means the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will also use Snapdragon chip internationally.
