Less precision equals lower power, but standards are required to make this work.
New memory approaches and challenges in scaling CMOS point to radical changes — and potentially huge improvements — in semiconductor designs.
113 startups raise $3.5B; batteries, AI, and new architectures top the list.
127 startups raise $2.6B; data center connectivity, quantum computing, and batteries draw big funding.
Thermal mismatch in heterogeneous designs, different use cases, can impact everything from accelerated aging to warpage and system failures.
New applications require a deep understanding of the tradeoffs for different types of DRAM.
Electromigration and other aging factors become more complicated along the z axis.
Why and when it’s needed, and what tools and technologies are required.
