Photo by Henry & Co. on Unsplash The semiconductor wall is a term used to describe the limits of silicon devices due to the challenges faced by different types of constraints of current semiconductor technology. This wall has become increasingly apparent in recent years as processor speeds have plateaued, leading to a bottleneck in computing performance. As such, it is becoming increasingly important for engineers and researchers to find ways to overcome this wall and continue pushing the computing power boundaries. The semiconductor wall affects different types of chips in different ways. For example, it limits the amount of memory placed on a single chip and the speed at which data processing occurs. It also impacts chips’ cost and power consumption, as more transistors require more energy. Wall: Challenges Faced […]
