Imec Demonstrates Power-Performance-Area-Cost Benefit of Heterogeneous Sequential-3D Integration for Advanced CMOS Nodes

December 5, 2017

LEUVEN, Belgium—Dec. 4, 2017 – At this week’s 2017 International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM), imec, the world-leading research and innovation hub in nano-electronics and digital technology, presented the first power-performance-area-cost (PPAC) analysis of different sequential 3D-integration variants using advanced 5nm and 3nm CMOS technology nodes. The most significant benefit was found for a heterogeneous sequential-3D integration approach that uses different device layers (or tiers) for the non-scalable (analog and I/O) and scalable parts (logic and memory) of the system. These results confirm the potential of heterogeneous sequential-3D … Read More → "Imec Demonstrates Power-Performance-Area-Cost Benefit of Heterogeneous Sequential-3D Integration for Advanced CMOS Nodes"
