Samsung's new innovation is considered one of the most challenging packaging technologies for mass production of high-performance chips, as it requires pinpoint accuracy to vertically interconnect 12 DRAM chips through a three-dimensional configuration of more than 60,000 TSV holes, each of which is one-twentieth the thickness of a single strand of human hair.
The thickness of the package (720㎛) remains the same as current 8-layer High Bandwidth Memory-2 (HBM2) products, which is a substantial advancement in component design. This will help customers release next-generation, high-capacity products with higher performance capacity without having to change their system configuration designs.
In addition, the 3D packaging technology also features a shorter data transmission time between chips than the currently existing wire bonding technology, resulting in significantly faster speed and lower power consumption.
“Packaging technology that secures all of the intricacies of ultra-performance memory is becoming tremendously important, with the wide variety of new-age applications, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and High Power Computing (HPC)," said Hong-Joo Baek, executive vice president of TSP (Test & System Package) at Samsung Electronics.
"As Moore's law scaling reaches its limit, the role of 3D-TSV technology is expected to become even more critical. We want to be at the forefront of this state-of-the-art chip packaging technology."
Relying on its 12-layer 3D-TSV technology, Samsung will offer the highest DRAM performance for applications that are data-intensive and extremely high-speed.
Also, by increasing the number of stacked layers from eight to 12, Samsung will soon be able to mass produce 24-gigabyte (GB)* High Bandwidth Memory, which provides three times the capacity of 8GB high bandwidth memory on the market today.
Samsung will be able to meet the rapidly growing market demand for high-capacity HBM solutions with its cutting-edge 12-layer 3D TSV technology and it hopes to solidify its leadership in the premium semiconductor market.

*8GB mass-production product= 8Gb x 8 layers, 24GB developed product= 16Gb x 12 layers

Geoswift and SKUx Announce Strategic Partnership to Develop a First-of-Its-Kind Programmable Stablecoin Commerce Network29.6.2026 14:00:00 CEST | Press release
Bridging digital assets, traditional finance, enterprise treasury, and agentic commerce through global programmable money infrastructure Geoswift and SKUx announced a groundbreaking partnership to develop a next-generation programmable stablecoin commerce network. This strategic collaboration bridges digital assets, traditional finance, and real-world commerce at a global scale, representing a "one-of-one" opportunity by combining Geoswift's global infrastructure with SKUx's specialized item-level controls directly within point-of-sale (POS) systems. While enterprise stablecoin usage continues to accelerate globally, governments, enterprises, payment networks, and AI-driven commerce platforms are increasingly seeking programmable payment infrastructure that can bridge digital assets with real-world commerce. The innovation goes far beyond treasury management or even enabling consumers to spend stablecoins at retail locations. Instead, it unlocks true "programmable money" with embedded
Esri Sponsors Smithsonian Exhibition Showcasing Natural and Cultural Objects from All 50 States29.6.2026 14:00:00 CEST | Press release
From These Lands Exhibition Highlights Connections Between People, Place, and Natural World Through Physical Specimens and Digital Maps Esri is the lead sponsor of the Smithsonian's From These Lands exhibition and developed maps powered by ArcGIS and a digital companion to extend engagement beyond the museum. The exhibition features more than 600 specimens and cultural artifacts from all 50 states, Washington, DC, and US territories, drawn from the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History's collection of over 148 million objects. Designed around themes of connection, diversity, and discovery, the exhibit explores how landscapes, ecosystems, and cultural traditions shape one another across regions and time. Animated mapping experiences enable visitors to explore topography, biomes, geology, migration patterns, and watersheds, revealing relationships across the continent. ArcGIS StoryMaps transforms the physical exhibit into an accessible digital narrative, extending its reach to
Cartilage Tissue Engineering Heads to Orbit in NSF and NASA-supported Study at the International Space Station29.6.2026 14:00:00 CEST | Press release
UC Irvine researchers use single cell RNA sequencing to study cartilage tissue engineered in microgravity Researchers in the DELTAi Lab at the University of California, Irvine, working with NASA, are using Evercode Cell Fixation to preserve samples aboard the International Space Station as part of a study of cartilage tissue engineering in microgravity.
