Leading or Lagging
There is an ‘optimal’ sequence of evolution
Standards after R&D : not to constrain the technology development effort Infrastructure after Standards : mitigate infrastructure (e.g. EDA tools) development risks Products after Infrastructure : reduced barrier to implementation Inputs, Coordination and Feedback: obviously a good thing that flows upstream
So Why the Worry There are no high volume / high profile 2.5D and/or 3D products (yet) There is no ‘pull’ for Infrastructure There is no ‘pull’ for Standards The standards community (Si2, JEDEC, IEEE, 3DEC, SEMI..) has developed a number of
2.5D & 3D manufacturing and design standards – but is not feeling the love
That is the way it SHOULD be ! It is bad for us all when lack of infrastructure retards product development It is bad for us all when infrastructure developers deploy de-facto (closed) standards

So What, if Anything, is Wrong ? Diagnoses: The industry suffers from schizophrenia
when it comes to 3D and More-than-Moore technology 1st personality: Disillusionment with 2.5D & 3D
technologies due to lack of product adoption– Action : Lets cut the investment in R&D
2nd personality: Belief that 2.5D & 3D technologies will preserve More’s Law in the long term– Action : consensus on need for long term R&D
Symptoms: Paranoia & Paralyses e.g. we develop a set of 2.5D & 3D standards and
then worry that we are too far ahead of the demand …
Prescription : Close the “Gap” in the Industry Invest in long term R&D for 2.5D & 3D technologies
– MtM technology R&D with 5 – 10 year horizon – Materials, processes, models, design tools & methods,
architectures …. credible ITRS-like Road Map … suitable set of technology centers …
Who in the Industry is doing this ? – Need a Consortium for collaborative pre competitive R&D
focused on More than Moore class of technologies
More-than-MooreTechnology
Development
Standards
There is not a lack or surplus of StandardsThere is Lack of pre-standard Development Effort
