Mankind’s insatiable desire for connectivity, communication, computation, and improvement in standards of living will continue to drive transitions in integrated circuit technology, as it has done in the past. As increasing transistor density no longer delivers the required value, new directions will appear to build the future integrated circuits that continue to drive these holistic needs. Designing silicon integrated circuits enabled by inserting new devices is such a path of new value. III-V devices have been monolithically integrated into silicon manufacturing processes, demonstrating novel functionality in silicon circuits containing GaN LEDs and GaN transistors. The methods used for monolithic incorporation of III-V devices into silicon ICs are independent of a particular material or device, so such methods could continue to keep silicon great far into the future.

Much has been written about “The End of Moore’s Law” for over a decade. The term evokes a picture of stalled computing performance. Reality is far from this doomsday scenario and the outlook of information processing technology appears brighter than ever. Certainly, as transistor footprint scaling is quickly approaching a regime in which “smaller is no longer better,” a radical redirection is mandatory. The new path is the third dimension, piling transistors on top of each other in a 3D construction. The promise goes beyond the integration of more transistors per unit area to keep the economic incentives behind Moore’s Law. The third dimension opens new possibilities to bring together logic and memory and break the “memory wall”, the current bottleneck for system performance. Intimate memory and logic integration will also enable artificial intelligence chips capable of efficiently processing very large data sets. This talk will outline opportunities and challenges for future IC technologies while showcasing relevant MIT research on new materials (i.e. magnetics, interconnects,), devices (i.e. carbon nanotubes transistors, tunnel transistors, neuromorphic devices), process technology (monolithic 3D integration), etc.
