3D chip stacking to take Moore’s Law past 2020, pose new chip cooling challenges
A team of IBM Researchers in collaboration with two Swiss partners are looking to keep “Moore’s Law” alive for another 15 years. The law states that the number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit will double every 18 months. More than 50 years old, this law is still in effect, but to extend it as long as 2020 will require a change from mere … [Read more...]
