As demand grows for more powerful and efficient microelectronics systems, industry is turning to 3D integration—stacking chips on top of each other. This vertically layered architecture could allow ...

Artificial intelligence has raced ahead so quickly that its biggest constraint is no longer clever algorithms but the ...

Researchers can now fabricate a 3D chip with alternating layers of semiconducting material grown directly on top of each other. The method eliminates thick silicon substrates between the layers, ...

In a few weeks, Intel will release Ivy Bridge, the first mass-produced 22nm parts, and more importantly the first to use 3D "tri-gate" FinFET transistors. These CPUs will be incredibly fast and use ...

Intel has a new 3D technology to allow for 3D chip stacking, despite previous problems with this type of capability. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens in a new window) Share ...

China is stepping up its chip self-sufficiency push by combining relatively mature chips with new computing architectures in an effort to approach Nvidia's performance levels, according to a top ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a technique to create a multilayered chip with alternating layers of high-quality semiconducting material grown directly on top ...

Say you wanted to create a chip in which a processor fabricated in 32-nm process rules would be combined with memory done on a 65-nm process and analog blocks fabricated at 180 nm. This leads you to ...

The electronics industry is approaching a limit to the number of transistors that can be packed onto the surface of a computer chip. So, chip manufacturers are looking to build up rather than out.
