Adeia's semiconductor R&D team recently participated in the 2024 SEMI 3D & Systems Summit, held in Dresden, Germany, in mid-June. This year's theme was "Heterogeneous Systems for the Intelligently Connected Era," and the event brought together industry leaders to discuss the latest advancements in semiconductor technologies.
At the show, I presented a paper entitled, "Co-Optimization of Semiconductor Systems: Extending the Roadmap Beyond Physical Scaling."
Co-optimization is a holistic methodology that enhances the power efficiency, performance, and cost-effectiveness of semiconductor systems. This is achieved through the concurrent tuning of process technology, design, and system architecture, and is measured by PPAC (power, performance, area and cost metrics.
In my presentation, I explained the importance of co-optimization in addressing power consumption, which is becoming a greater challenge in scaling high-performance semiconductor systems today. By realigning and optimizing logic and memory subsystems, processing- or computation-in-memory, and advanced interconnect solutions, system designers can mitigate the challenge and extend their product roadmaps.
We also presented more information about our semiconductor co-optimization strategies and values for advanced 3-D heterogenous systems on the exhibit floor.
Technical conferences like the SEMI 3D & Systems Summit are critical to fostering innovation and collaboration across the semiconductor industry. At Adeia, we are committed to continuing our pioneering work in semiconductor co-optimization and driving a vision for the future.
