KEY QUESTIONS
What portion of the semiconductor industry’s
technological success has been a result of
Moore’s Law?
Are there alternative technologies which
could be used to supplement the benefits
currently provided by Moore’s Law?
How much of the technology gap resulting
from the slowing of Moore’s Law can be filled
by these alternative technologies?
What technological, organizational and
systemic changes will be needed to enable
use of these alternative technologies?
6
OPINIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
There are probably no singular replacements for Moore’s Law and
probably no silver bullets
Successful 3D TSV products must be preceded by successful 3D
products using other 3D technologies
Winning strategies will rely on relentless study and optimization of
partitioning, architecture and customization to enhance value at
the system-level
As software evolves it needs to contribute to system efficiency
rather than consume it
Study 2nd tier and mixed-signal suppliers to understand how to
survive without depending primarily on Moore’s Law
Remember “Jonas’ Law” (swim fast, eat everything around you or
be eaten!)
