Photo by Chris Ried on Unsplash The shrinking size of semiconductor nodes has led to better performance, which is beneficial from a features point of view, but not from the cost point of view. The cost to design and manufacture highly complex chips (to provide better performance) is increasing year on year. It is thus pushing the semiconductor industry towards solutions that enable new features but are also not high (long term) on cost. To balance the cost with features, semiconductor researchers (academia and industry) have focused on solutions that are not high on investment and at the same time provide a way towards the More-Then-Moore era. The one approach that researchers have taken is to focus on the silicon devices and then invent improved versions that provide balanced (power, […]
