At Hot Chips 2026, SK Hynix packaging engineering VP Jaesik Lee said the company
will adopt advanced packaging—including Intel's EMIB—for next‑generation HBM and
plans to transition to 3D packaging. SK Hynix is exploring hybrid bonding to
overcome the 16‑layer stacking limit and intends to increase TSV counts, raise
IO speeds through tighter logic‑process integration, and optimize power‑delivery
networks to mitigate power and thermal challenges.
