I work for Intel on a team that partners w/ design and manufacturing to build DFX features and tooling. It's been quite the ride to enable DFX for Foveros but it's really exciting technology.
At the end of the day I look at it like this: it's getting harder and more expensive to reduce nano-meter size, getting high yields on 5nm, 3nm and beyond is going to be a multi-billion dollar effort for everyone in the industry, with Foveros we can really squeeze water from a rock and build products on advance node tech even if overall yield isn't the greatest.
I don't think it's a shock to say that the 18 month window described by Moore's Law is probably well behind us. But new innovations like Foveros give me confidence that we still have a long road ahead of us to improve silicon performance.
- BostonEnginerd 8y agoGlad to see more semiconductor folks here! Thanks for all the hard work making the design rules work for this process. Do you know if there are any real papers detailing Foveros?
- 40acres 8y agoThere may be some white papers floating around describing the tech but to my knowledge no academic level papers have been released yet.
- baybal2 8y agoDo you know what is Intel's yield on their 10nm process?
- 40acres 8y agoI do but am not at liberty to discuss.
