The SoÑAMoS project (Microelectronic Design and Architecture Solutions for Health) aims to pioneer innovative processing solutions and architectures tailored for health applications. The project focuses on the research and development of dedicated hardware accelerators, optimizing their performance for the healthcare sector. The approach involves a stepwise validation process, starting with the utilization of Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) RISC-V as a baseline, progressing through FPGA prototyping, and ultimately culminating in the design and manufacturing of an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC).
SoÑAMoS proposes exploring integrated systems using heterogeneous encapsulation techniques to achieve these objectives. This entails combining various chips within the same encapsulation using silicon interposers through silicon vias (TSV) and redistribution layers. These techniques facilitate the integration of both active and passive microelectronic elements, enabling a System in Package (SiP) to incorporate solutions derived from the project and accommodate any necessary adaptations.
In spearheading these design activities, ALTER will lead in defining and implementing the SiP solution, ensuring a comprehensive and effective approach to integrating diverse microelectronic components for optimized health-focused processing solutions.
SoÑaMos is part of the program Misiones of the Spanish PERTE Chip.
