As traditional chip miniaturization slows, researchers have found a way to pack more computing power into the same space by stacking silicon circuits in multiple layers. The new process uses ...

Forward-looking: For years, the chip industry has chased better performance by shrinking transistors and squeezing more of them onto a flat slice of silicon. That strategy is running into hard limits.

For decades, chipmakers squeezed more transistors onto processors by shrinking them sideways. That playbook is running out of room. Now, a team of engineers has demonstrated a different strategy: ...

For decades, chipmakers kept Moore’s Law alive by shrinking transistors sideways, etching ever-finer features into flat slabs ...
