EDACafe Industry Predictions for 2025 – AIM Solder

Tuesday, January 28th, 2025

By David Suraski, Executive Vice President of Assembly Materials, AIM Solder

David Suraski

Innovation, Reliability, and Growth

Rapid advancements in miniaturization, high-reliability applications, and sustainability initiatives are reshaping the way we design, produce, and assemble electronic components. AIM Solder is uniquely positioned to lead in this evolution with cutting-edge products, robust global infrastructure, and a customer-first spirit

Technical Advancements Redefining 2025

Demand for finer pitch and miniaturized assemblies is at an all-time high, driven by applications in 5G, IoT, AI, and advanced consumer electronics. Finer solder pastes, such as type 5 and type 6 and even 7 and 8, are essential for precision in tighter spaces. AIM is not only ramping up production of these materials but conducting and sharing detailed studies to provide clear, actionable insights to the market.

High-reliability applications are another area of rapid growth. Aerospace, automotive, and medical industries require long-term performance under extreme conditions. In support of those requirements, AIM is developing a new high-reliability alloy with improved ductility and a melting temperature closer to tin-lead solders. This alloy represents a next generation solution, building on the success of existing products like our REL22 alloy.

EDACafe Predictions 2025 – SiFive

Monday, January 13th, 2025

By Ian Ferguson, Senior Director for Infrastructure Products, SiFive

Ian Ferguson

As compute requirements increase, we’re seeing a growing demand for optimized hardware that helps companies innovate faster and more efficiently. In this article, I’ve detailed several ways that this will play out in 2025, from chiplets to open source software, along with other key trends.

  • Chiplet deployments beyond data center/server use cases: Chiplets have become a common implementation strategy for high performance server chips. 2025 will be the year we start to see wider adoption of this technology to a broader set of applications, bringing the benefits of modularity, improved ROI and the ability to combine (in the same package) processing technology implemented in advanced process nodes with less aggressive process nodes for proven (previously certified) subsystems and analog functionality. There remains some skepticism about the use of chiplets in applications that demand high levels of safety such as vehicles and avionics; while progress is being made in those areas, it will be other sectors that lead the way. One of the interesting elements to track will be connectivity standards. In the server domain, the needs of connectivity have focused on performance and effective scaling up of processing capabilities. In these new markets, there will be more of a focus on cost and/or power minimization. For SiFive, what this means is exploration as part of a number of research programs around new types of power-efficient and cost-effective interconnects.

Semidynamics on 2025: Trends, Challenges, and Our Vision

Major Tech Shifts in 2025

The AI processor industry in 2025 is on the brink of transformation. With AI infiltrating every corner of technology, three key trends are set to define the year:

First, AI will be everywhere. AI is moving out of elite data centers and into edge devices, personal tech, and industrial systems. This shift demands processors that deliver high computational power without compromising on energy efficiency, scalability, or cost. Current leaders like Nvidia are hitting limits—environmentally, economically, and in production capacity—leaving room for new players to rise.

Secondly, generative AI and large language models (LLMs) will reshape industries, from creative work to financial analytics. They promise seismic shifts in productivity and economic growth. Nations and companies that embrace these tools will surge ahead on GDP growth; those who hesitate risk decline.
