From Space-Central to Space-Time Balanced – A Perspective for Moore’s Law 2.0 and A Holistic Paradigm for Emergence
A friend of SemiWiki published an article on Moore’s Law in IEEE that I think is worth reading:
IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, Vol. 41, Issue 4.
The topic of Moore’s Law is of paramount importance, reaching almost the entire field of electronics (and the semiconductor industry). In the course of six decades, for the first… Read More
Why Glass Substrates?
The demand for high-performance and sustainable computing and networking silicon for AI has undoubtedly increased R&D dollars and the pace of innovation in semiconductor technology. With Moore’s Law slowing down at the chip level, there is a desire to pack as many chiplets as possible inside ASIC packages and get … Read More
