5th Gen CoWoS-S Extends 3 Reticle Size
One of the industry's go-to packaging technology for integrating high-bandwidth memory is TSMC's CoWoS technology. It's a mature technology that has been shipping since 2011. Since then the company has been building on this technology with 4 additional generations of improvements including extending it to six HBM stacks and double the reticle size.
