3D IC Memory Opportunity: HMC

 

3D integration poses many technical challenges to the IC design and manufacturing community, but the rewards can be huge. The Hybrid Memory Cube, or HMC, is a memory solution which incorporates 3D packaging to reap tremendous benefits in power and performance. In this talk, the technology behind the HMC and its benefits are explored as well as the opportunities for HMC in system solutions. Several system architecture options are also presented and explored.
