IEEE Lecture - The Future of High-Speed Interconnects: Challenges and Opportunities in Heterogeneous Integration
The transition from monolithic systems to chiplet-based heterogeneous integration is redefining the design of high-speed interconnects. This talk presents an overview of the key challenges associated with bandwidth scaling, signal integrity, power delivery, thermal management, and interconnect reliability in advanced packaging. It further discusses the impact of interconnect scaling, surface roughness, and emerging materials, including copper–graphene hybrid structures, on next-generation systems. Finally, the talk emphasizes the importance of electrical–thermal–mechanical co-design and multiphysics optimization in enabling future AI, HPC, and data-centric computing architectures. The schedule is as follows:
4-4.30 pm - Networking
4.30-6 pm - Lecture
