Sea of leads: a disruptive paradigm for a system-on-a-chip (SoC)

The authors show that Sea of leads (SoL) is a disruptive paradigm for system-on-a-chip (SoC) because it intends to use wafer-level batch fabrication of ultra high density (>10/sup 4//cm/sup 2/) x-y-z compliant input/output leads and packages as well as wafer level DC/AC testing and burn-in to enhance performance, cost, size, weight, and reliability of a mixed signal SoC.
