Heterogeneous integration strategies have emerged as a key approach to the development of next generation microsystems, in particular silicon-based computing platforms that combine various processor and memory functionalities in a single package. State-of-the-art architectures are primarily 2.5D structures, combining processor and memory "chiplets" on a multi-layer signal distribution interposer. A broader vision of heterogenous integration, though, involves the integration of diverse technologies such as III-V transistors, non-silicon memory, photonics, MEMS, etc., and leveraging 3D integration strategies to realize highly-integrated "more than Moore" microsystems. This talk will review past efforts in 3D/HI, including DARPA programs, such as the Diverse Accessible Heterogeneous Integration (DAHI) program, and discuss future opportunities to realize high-performance mixed-domain microsystems.
