My Conclusion on Si Architecture Trends and thier ecosystem impact
Today’s Si companies must track the key trends in Si technology development, assembly test, Nanotechnology, Cooling, Emerging Research, Virtualization, acceleration and Si Complex Architectures to help drive their product teams in close collaboration with other Si vendors to keep the enterprise in a thought leadership position contemporary with the Silicon Industry along with consumer demands.
This blog is intended to document key technology trends and issues I feel will have a major impact betwen now and 2035. The following areas will be covered:
Silicon technology, architecture processes and innovation
- Lithography Evolution enables “Moore than Moore”
- Size, Nano-techniques & Subatomic wire
- Cooling via refrigeration or wind
- Cores, components and the Si complex
- Thinner materials E.G., nanotubes & self assembly
- Faster Transistors E.G., Ultrathin Graphene
- Optical Computing, Molecular Computing
- Quantum Computing, Biological Computing
TREND | EXAMPLE |
Integration Level | Components/Chip, Moore’s Law |
Cost | Cost Per Function |
Speed | Microprocessor Throughput |
Power | Laptop or Cell Battery Life |
Compactness | Small and Light-weight Products |
Functionality | Nonvolatile Memory, Imager |
Software As a Service
