Abstract
The computing demands of future data-intensive applications far exceed the capabilities of today's electronics, and cannot be met by isolated improvements in transistor technologies or integrated circuit (IC) architectures alone. Rather, transformative nano-systems, which leverage the unique properties of emerging nanotechnologies to create new IC architectures, are required to deliver unprecedented performance and energy efficiency. For instance, monolithic three-dimensional integration enables revolutionary digital system architectures of computation finely immersed in memory. Such digital system architectures can achieve significant performance and energy efficiency benefits compared to today's designs. While such systems are challenging to realize with conventional silicon-based technologies, they are naturally enabled by emerging nanotechnologies that can be fabricated at low processing temperatures. We present an overview of our progress toward realizing monolithic 3D ICs, enabled by recent advances in emerging nanotechnologies such as carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) and emerging memory technologies such as Resistive RAM (RRAM).
