PROJECT TITLE :

Three-Dimensional Integration: A Tutorial for Designers

ABSTRACT:

There's a perception that classical semiconductor scaling is undergoing saturation and has recently not been delivering on the historical expectations for price, power, and performance scaling. Both the price of technology node development and the value to manufacture the newer nodes have been escalating, as has the nonrecurring engineering charge for new styles in these newer nodes. This has serious implications for our industry?s ability to sustain the proliferation of increasingly complicated systems at cheap costs and the ensuing societal impacts.
