Stack up your chips: Betting on 3D integration to augment Moore's Law scaling

Abstract

3D integration, i.e., stacking of integrated circuit layers using parallel or sequential processing is gaining rapid industry adoption with the slowdown of Moore's law scaling. 3D stacking promises potential gains in performance, power and cost but the actual magnitude of gains varies depending on end-application, technology choices and design. In this talk, we will discuss some key challenges associated with 3D design and how design-for-3D will require us to break traditional silos of micro-architecture, circuit/physical design and manufacturing technology to work across abstractions to enable the gains promised by 3D technologies.
