MIT engineers grow "high-rise" 3D chips

Boston MA (SPX) Dec 23, 2024
The electronics industry is approaching a limit to the number of transistors that can be packed onto the surface of a computer chip. So, chip manufacturers are looking to build up rather than out. Instead of squeezing ever-smaller transistors onto a single surface, the industry is aiming to stack multiple surfaces of transistors and semiconducting elements - akin to turning a ranch house into a high-rise. Such multilayered chips could handle exponentially more data and carry out many more complex ... read more
