A 77-fJ/bit 8-Gbps Adaptive-Voltage-Compatible Self-Timed Die-to-Die Link for 2.5-D and 3-D Interconnect in 3 nm

A 77-fJ/bit 8-Gbps Adaptive-Voltage-Compatible Self-Timed Die-to-Die Link for 2.5-D and 3-D Interconnect in 3 nm 150 150

Abstract:

This work presents a self-timed die-to-die link that serializes four data bits per pin for 2.5-D, or 3-D interconnects using a standard adaptive digital clock and voltage supply. The link achieves 8 Gbps of per-pin bandwidth with a latency of one cycle, energy efficiency of 77 fJ/b, and bandwidth density of 44…

A 28-Gb/mm2 4XX-Layer 1-Tb 3-b/Cell WF-Bonding 3D-nand Flash With 5.6-Gb/s/Pin IOs

A 28-Gb/mm2 4XX-Layer 1-Tb 3-b/Cell WF-Bonding 3D-nand Flash With 5.6-Gb/s/Pin IOs 150 150

Abstract:

The challenge of evolving to create a memory that is shrinking compared to the previous generation while satisfying the high performance and low power required for flash memory has been present in every generation, but the recent rapid change to artificial intelligence (AI) trends is very tough, as the level …

Beyond Backside Power: Backside Signal Routing as Technology Booster for Standard-Cell Scaling

Beyond Backside Power: Backside Signal Routing as Technology Booster for Standard-Cell Scaling 150 150

Abstract:

Advances in process technology enabling backside metals (BSMs) and contacts offer new design–technology co-optimization (DTCO) opportunities to further enhance power, performance, and area gains (PPA) in sub-3-nm nodes. This work exploits backside (BS) contact technology within standard cells to extend both signal and clock routing to BSM layers, …
