Overview: Natcast seeks public feedback on a proposed research initiative for monolithic backend of line (BEOL) interconnects, focusing on innovative materials and integrated processes. Background: The historical gains in power and performance associated with transistor density improvements are increasingly counterbalanced by heightened resistance (R) and capacitance (C) resulting from tighter pitches within the BEOL interconnects. […]| Natcast
Overview: Natcast is seeking public input on a potential research program on co-packaged optical engine development. Background: The rapid expansion of AI models and workloads is outpacing the capabilities of traditional electrical interconnects. This program aims to integrate optical transceivers directly into physical packages to reduce power consumption, improve signal integrity, and enhance bandwidth density […]| Natcast
