    摘要: A semiconductor package having a stiffening structure is disclosed. The semiconductor package includes a substrate, an interposer on the substrate, and a first logic chip, a second logic chip, memory stacks and stiffening chips, all of which are on the interposer. The first logic chip and the second logic chip are adjacent to each other. Each memory stack is adjacent to a corresponding one of the first logic chip and the second logic chip. Each memory stack includes a plurality of stacked memory chips. Each stiffening chip is disposed between corresponding ones of the memory stacks, to be aligned and overlap with a boundary area between the first logic chip and the second logic chip.

    摘要: Provided are an image sensor module, an image processing system, and an image compression method. The image compression method of compressing image data generated by an image sensor includes: receiving pixel values of a target pixel group of image data on which compression is to be performed, and reference values of reference pixels to be used in compression of the target pixel group; determining an averaging direction in which an averaging calculation is to be performed on target pixel values; averaging the pixel values of target pixels in the averaging direction; generating balance information including compensation values to be applied to the average values based on the reference pixels; and generating a bitstream based on the average values, the balance information, and compression information.

    摘要: An interposer includes a base layer including a first surface and a second surface that are opposite to each other. An interconnect structure is disposed on the first surface. The interconnect structure includes a metal interconnect pattern and an insulating layer surrounding the metal interconnect pattern. A first lower protection layer is disposed on the second surface. A plurality of lower conductive pads is disposed on the first lower protection layer. A plurality of through electrodes penetrates the base layer and the first lower protection layer. The plurality of through electrodes electrically connects the metal interconnect pattern of the interconnect structure to the lower conductive pads. At least one of the insulating layer and the first lower protection layer has compressive stress. A thickness of the first lower protection layer is in a range of about 13% to about 30% of a thickness of the insulating layer.
