"H-Cube solution, which is jointly developed with Samsung Electro-mechanics (SEMCO) and Amkor Technology, is suited to high-performance semiconductors that need to integrate a large number of silicon dies,” said Moonsoo Kang, senior vice president and Head of Foundry Market Strategy Team at Samsung Electronics. "By expanding and enriching the foundry ecosystem, we will provide various package solutions to find a breakthrough in the challenges our customers are facing."
“In today’s environment where system integration is increasingly required and substrate supplies are constrained, Samsung Foundry and Amkor Technology have successfully co-developed H-Cube to overcome these challenges,” said JinYoung Kim, senior vice president of Global R&D Center at Amkor Technology. “This development lowers barriers to entry in the HPC/AI market and demonstrates successful collaboration and partnership between the foundry and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) company.”
H-Cube Structure and Features
2.5D packaging enables logic chips or high-bandwidth memory (HBM) to be placed on top of a silicon interposer in a small form factor. Samsung’s H-Cube technology features a hybrid substrate combined with a fine-pitch substrate which is capable of fine bump connection, and a High-Density Interconnection (HDI) substrate, to implement large sizes into 2.5D packaging.
With the recent increase in specifications required in the HPC, AI, and networking application market segments, large-area packaging is becoming important as the number and size of chips mounted in one package increases or high-bandwidth communication is required. For attachment and connection of silicon dies including the interposer, fine-pitch substrates is essential but prices rise significantly following an increase in size.
When integrating six or more HBMs, the difficulty in manufacturing the large-area substrate increases rapidly, resulting in decreased efficiency. Samsung solved this problem by applying a hybrid substrate structure in which HDI substrates that are easy to implement in large-area is overlapped under a high-end fine-pitch substrate.
By decreasing the pitch of solder ball, which electrically connects the chip and the substrate, by 35% compared to the conventional ball pitch, the size of fine-pitch substrate can be minimized, while adding HDI substrate (module PCB) under the fine-pitch substrate to secure connectivity with the system board.
In addition, to enhance the reliability of the H-Cube solution, Samsung applied its proprietary signal/power integrity analysis technology that can stably supply power while minimizing the signal loss or distortion when stacking multiple logic chips and HBMs.
Looking ahead, in cooperation with its ecosystem partners, Samsung will hold its 3rd Annual ‘Samsung Advanced Foundry Ecosystem (SAFETM ) Forum' virtually on November 17 (PST).

Nearly Nine in 10 Private Capital GPs Face Data Validation Challenges10.11.2026 15:00:00 CET | Press release
88% of GPs say finance and operations teams spend 11% to 50% of their time validating, reconciling, recalculating, or recreating administrator outputs70% of GPs are targeting outsourced or strategic co-sourced operating models, while 97% of LPs expect outsourcing to specialist providers to increase74% of LPs identify IT systems and cybersecurity as important to operational due diligence, while 59% want a documented AI and data governance framework shared during due diligence Nearly nine in 10 (88%) of private capital general partners (GPs) surveyed say their finance and operations teams spend between 11% and 50% of their time validating, reconciling, recalculating or recreating administrator outputs, according to new research from CSC, the leading provider of global business administration and compliance solutions¹. CSC surveyed more than 300 GPs and 200 limited partners (LPs) across North America, Europe, the U.K., and Asia Pacific. The report, Future Private Capital CFO 2026, examine
80% of IT Leaders Say the Digital Workplace Is Critical to AI Success, Yet Only 10% Have Fundamentally Redesigned It, Lenovo Research Finds10.11.2026 15:00:00 CET | Press release
Global study of 1,200 IT leaders identifies five connected dimensions of workplace readiness and shows where organizations can focus to turn AI ambition into measurable business value Eight in ten IT decision makers say the digital workplace is critical to successful AI-led transformation, yet only 10% report fundamentally redesigning it for AI, according to Lenovo’s sixth Work Reborn report, The AI-ready workplace. The findings expose a significant gap between deploying AI tools and the operating capabilities needed to integrate them into how work gets done across an organization. The report frames workplace readiness as a connected system spanning people, workflows, technology, support and governance, with each contributing to how enterprises translate AI ambition into business outcomes at scale. Based on an August 2026 survey of 1,200 IT leaders at organizations with at least 1,000 employees across 12 countries, the report examines the workplace conditions needed to translate AI dep
The $63.4 Billion Innovation Drain: Study Finds Unexpected Tech Costs Force Cuts into AI Investment and Hiring10.11.2026 15:00:00 CET | Press release
New economic research reveals how unpredictable infrastructure costs are constraining innovation, with potential savings that could support more than 111,000 jobs and generate $20.4 billion in long-term growthAI/ML infrastructure overspend is the most of any technology category at 37% ($23.4bn) of the total, and nearly twice as hard to forecast84% of organizations made at least one cost-driven trade-off over the past year Businesses across eight major economies incur $63.4 billion annually in technology infrastructure overspend attributable to opaque, unpredictable or difficult-to-forecast provider charges, forcing companies to scale back investments in artificial intelligence, hiring and new product development, according to new economic research from the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR), commissioned by Wasabi Technologies. The overspend reflects infrastructure provider charges businesses could not forecast, rather than their own planned usage. AI and machine learnin
