All, We have had input from several IC Vendors on packaging requirements, however, we have had no input from IC Vendors on On-Die interconnect requirements. Here is a specific set of questions that need to be answered. These questions specifically address chips where the IC Vendor currently has on-die interconnect models that they either deliver or would like to deliver to their System Company customers. 1. Does there exist any chip where the on-die interconnect models are different for all channels that use the same [Model]? 2. Does there exist any chip where there are on-die interconnect models with cross talk between channels? 3. Does there exist any chip where there are on-die interconnect models with cross talk between channels and supply voltages? 4. Does there exist any chip where there are on-die interconnect models with multiple die pads nodes for each supply voltage? 5. Does there exist any chip where there are on-die interconnect models with multiple buffer pads nodes for each supply voltage? 6. Does there exist any chip where the on-die interconnect models for a channel are other than s2p or s4p Touchstone files? If the answer to any of these questions is Yes, does the IC Vendor use them just internally or deliver these models to System Companies with no NDA?; with an NDA? If the answer to all of these questions is No, does the IC Vendor have plans to deliver such models to System Companies in the future, and if so when?
