REPORT'S OBJECTIVES
- Provide a physical and cost analysis of the Goodix GSN22 integrated NFC + eSE solution.
- Analyze the package construction and multi-die assembly, from external dimensions down to die-level architecture and interconnects.
- Present the manufacturing process and technology for each die at every level (package, die, functional block, metallization stack, process node).
- Provide a reverse-costing breakdown of the component, from finished package down to front-end wafer, and estimate the resulting manufacturer selling price.
Goodix GSN22 is an integrated NFC + eSE solution designed for secure contactless applications in space-constrained electronic devices. By combining an NFC controller and Embedded Secure Element in a single solution, GSN22 addresses the growing demand for secure, compact, and multifunctional connectivity in smartphones, wearables, digital car keys, hardware wallets, public transport, access control, and digital identity applications.
Yole Group’s analysis of the Goodix GSN22 provides insight into the device’s package, die architecture, manufacturing process, cost structure, and estimated selling price. The teardown confirms a compact multi-die implementation and highlights the use of mature CMOS technology, supporting Goodix’s strategy of delivering a secure and integrated NFC solution while controlling manufacturing complexity and cost.
