TRUE or FALSE ? | Monolithic 3D chips were commercialized 8 years back

4/18/2011

1 Comment

 
Believe it or not, the answer is "TRUE"! 

Picture

Who did it?
It was Matrix Semiconductor, a Silicon Valley startup, who shipped the world's first monolithic 3D products in 2003. These were One-Time Programmable (OTP) non-volatile memory chips that had multiple layers of polysilicon diodes in series with antifuses. See picture alongside.

3D IC Series on the edagraffiti blog

4/15/2011

0 Comments

 
Paul McLellan made an interesting series of posts over on his edagraffiti blog a while back.  If you're interested in the EDA perspective on 3D ICs, you should go check them out.  You probably should go read them just because Dr. McLellan is a great writer who always adds value with his observations.  His list of relevant posts includes:

Is it Packaging, or Is it Fab?

4/13/2011

0 Comments

 
There are a couple of interesting meetings coming up in the next several weeks that highlight one of the questions that has been lurking around the 3D movement for as long as I can remember.  One group, that is well represented by the discussion at these meetings, sees 3D as a packaging issue.  Perhaps that's why the IEEE CPMT-SV is such an active sponsor of these discussions:

EETimes published a nice article highlighting the "rise" (hey, an EETimes joke) of die stacking.

While much of the article rings completely true, ...

Who invented 3D Stacking?

4/4/2011

3 Comments

 
Transistor = Bardeen, Brattain & Shockley; IC = Kilby & Noyce; DRAM = Dennard; Flash = Masuoka;  3D Stacking = Who??

3D stacked integrated circuits are on the roadmaps of most logic, flash and DRAM vendors today. In 10 years time, we will have seen widespread adoption of this technology. Shouldn’t we know who invented or talked about 3D Stacking first? After all, this technology is going to have a huge impact on our lives…
