The review was held August 14-15, 2019 at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELi is a Ph.D. student in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), where he is a member of the Integrated 3D Systems Group. He received the award for his poster,\u0026nbsp;\u0026ldquo;Low\u0026nbsp;temperature, pressure-less, and misalignment tolerant bonding processes\u0026nbsp;for extreme fine pitch interconnects.\u0026rdquo; Co-contributors to the poster include ECE Professor Muhannad Bakir, who is Li\u0026rsquo;s Ph.D. advisor;\u0026nbsp;Sreejith Rajan, a Ph.D. student who is\u0026nbsp;also advised by Bakir and Gary May, the chancellor of the\u0026nbsp;University of California at Davis and ECE adjunct faculty member; and Muneeb Zia, who is a research engineer II in ECE.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMonolithic integrated circuits (ICs) have progressed at an unprecedented rate of innovation in the past 60 years. However, with Moore\u0026#39;s Law slowing down, \u0026#39;polylithic\u0026#39; integration of heterogeneous ICs (or chiplets) is projected to be a key driver for performance, power, and cost in the next era of Moore\u0026rsquo;s Law. The objective of the research is to explore ultra-high density chip inputs\/outputs (I\/O) using approaches fundamentally different from those used today in the commercial arena. The end goal is to demonstrate sub-micron I\/O densities between bonded chips for extreme bandwidth densities in 3D and 2.5D polylithic ICs. Doing so unlocks a number of architectural innovations that can dramatically improve energy efficiency and performance of electronic computing systems.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe mission of ASCENT\u0026nbsp;is to provide breakthrough advances in integrated nanoelectronics to sustain the promise of Moore\u0026rsquo;s Law. Led by Notre Dame, along with 13 partner universities and 29 principal investigators, the Center is funded for $49 million over five years.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EECE Ph.D. student\u0026nbsp;Carl Li received a best poster award at the annual review for the\u0026nbsp;Applications and Systems-Driven Center for Energy-Efficient Integrated NanoTechnologies (ASCENT).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"ECE Ph.D. student\u00a0Carl Li received a best poster award at the annual review for the\u00a0Applications and Systems-Driven Center for Energy-Efficient Integrated NanoTechnologies (ASCENT)."}],"uid":"27241","created_gmt":"2019-09-04 18:27:27","changed_gmt":"2019-09-04 18:28:56","author":"Jackie Nemeth","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2019-09-04T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2019-09-04T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"625626":{"id":"625626","type":"image","title":"Carl Li","body":null,"created":"1567620764","gmt_created":"2019-09-04 18:12:44","changed":"1567620764","gmt_changed":"2019-09-04 18:12:44","alt":"photograph of Carl Li","file":{"fid":"238174","name":"Carl Li 2-croppsed.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Carl%20Li%202-croppsed.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/Carl%20Li%202-croppsed.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":302892,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/Carl%20Li%202-croppsed.jpg?itok=KwzcxZj6"}}},"media_ids":["625626"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.bakirlab.gatech.edu","title":"Integrated 3D Systems Group"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.ece.gatech.edu","title":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"url":"http:\/\/www.gatech.edu","title":"Georgia Tech "},{"url":"https:\/\/ascent.nd.edu","title":"Applications and Systems-Driven Center for Energy-Efficient Integrated NanoTechnologies (ASCENT)"}],"groups":[{"id":"1255","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"}],"categories":[{"id":"134","name":"Student and Faculty"},{"id":"8862","name":"Student Research"},{"id":"135","name":"Research"},{"id":"144","name":"Energy"},{"id":"145","name":"Engineering"},{"id":"149","name":"Nanotechnology and Nanoscience"},{"id":"150","name":"Physics and Physical Sciences"}],"keywords":[{"id":"182215","name":"Carl Li"},{"id":"182226","name":"Ming Jui (Carl) Li"},{"id":"109","name":"Georgia Tech"},{"id":"166855","name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering"},{"id":"55281","name":"Integrated 3D Systems Group"},{"id":"182217","name":"Applications and Systems-Driven Center for Energy-Efficient Integrated NanoTechnologies (ASCENT)"},{"id":"12093","name":"Muhannad Bakir"},{"id":"2484","name":"Gary May"},{"id":"182218","name":"Sreejith Rajan"},{"id":"178041","name":"Muneeb Zia"},{"id":"430","name":"interconnects"},{"id":"182219","name":"monolithic integrated circuits"},{"id":"8562","name":"ICS"},{"id":"167011","name":"moore\u0027s law"},{"id":"182220","name":"chipsets"},{"id":"182221","name":"ultra-high density chip inputs\/outputs"},{"id":"182222","name":"sub-micron I\/O densities"},{"id":"182223","name":"3D polylithic ICs"},{"id":"182224","name":"2.5D polylithic ICs"},{"id":"12244","name":"energy efficiency"},{"id":"182225","name":"electronic computing systems"},{"id":"182052","name":"integrated nanoelectronics"}],"core_research_areas":[{"id":"39451","name":"Electronics and Nanotechnology"},{"id":"39531","name":"Energy and Sustainable Infrastructure"}],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJackie Nemeth\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESchool of Electrical and Computer Engineering\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E404-894-2906\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":["jackie.nemeth@ece.gatech.edu"],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
