As traditional computing technologies continue to scale, cost and process complexity has driven the industry to look for new sources of performance gains. 3D integration has shown to be a disruptive technology that has demonstrated dramatic improvements in system speed, power consumption, and noise reduction. By reducing parasitic losses and improving connectivity, 3D technologies can be used in conjunction with the most advanced 2D technologies and offer a means to harness the full system performance potential. This presentation will review current industry advances, as well as a glimpse into the next generation of 3D.
