Next Move: Heterogeneous Integration
Abstract
As the semiconductor industry tries to cope with the slowdown in CMOS scaling and escalated costs, heterogeneous integration has emerged as a viable solution to mitigate the challenge. Depending on the circuit partitioning scheme and strategy, various heterogeneous integration strategies and technologies may be utilized to achieve lower power, faster time to market as well as lower costs to deliver the traditional benefits of CMOS scaling. Next-generation of multicore and multiprocessor SoCs can greatly benefit from heterogeneous integration technologies. In this talk, we will explore the technologies, vision and roadmap of heterogeneous integration as the semiconductor industry tries to digest the slowdown in CMOS scaling.
