HBM Interposer
I would like to understand how a HBM is manufactured. My understanding is that Memory companies like Samsung Electronics will etch the die on wafer before cutting it. They will then stack the die up vertically through a process called TSV (Through Silicon Vias). In order to protect the Base Die (unsure on what's there to protect?), they will connect a interposer at the base die through CoWos. I have always thought that the CoWos tech was a prop tech from TSMC and unsure on how companies like Samsung can mange to do it as well.
