Shortcoming of SOC for RF,Digital,Optical Integration
the difficulty of composing the specification of a mixed digital-analog-RF system the lack of architectural templates and experience in heterogeneous SOC implementation the lack of design and test methodologies and tools for partitioning, floor planning, placement, routing high cost for large ICs due to the high cost of wafer fabrication and low yield at less than 0.1 um technologies long design and test cycles in the face of system-level requirements wiring delay in SOC damage for computing application intellectual property issues

Advantage of SOP
Wiring delay, “latency”, can be avoided by either moving wiring from nanoscale on Ics to the microscale on SOP or making the digital chips smaller
RF components are best fabricated in the package rather than on silicon The highest Q factors reported on silicon are about 10-25, in contrast to
100-400 achieved in the SOP package Optoelectronics is moving onto the package for high I/O and high-speed interconnections, r
eplacing copper and addressing both the resistance and cross-talk of electronics ICs design time shorter, flexibility to use emerging technology smaller chip with high yield and wiring length

Embedded Passives
Multilayer Capacitors
:The conventional MIM structure consists of a dielectric layer sandwitched between two
square plates neglecting the higher order excitation mode.
However, the vertically interdigitated configuration (VIC) makes the
plate size smaller as more plates are deployed on a larger number of dielectric layers
VIC topology occupies nearly an order of magnitude less area than the MIM

Status of SOP
problem of SOP technology - interference between each of the block in a package :EMI/EMC - on-/off-chip power management :power supply stability, thermal problem according to power - how to test - design infrastructure :the lack of design concept to on-/off- chip packaged environment and design tool

Vision of SOP
SOP: Moore’s Law for ICs
SOP for system integration as IC for transistors
SOP is a system level technology

Summary
SOP requires system design and architecture leading to IC-package-system codesign and addressing signal and power integrity, EMI, and wiring layout
In future, business and legal barriers are significantly more difficult to overcome for the SOC than for SOP based product
SOP is system level technology with all the system functions and interconnections and takes advantage of the synergy between IC, package, and the system
