The Energy and Variability Efficient Era (E.V.E.) is Ahead of Us

Major power consumption reduction will drive future design of technologies and architectures that will request less greedy devices and interconnect systems. The electronic market will be able to face an exponential growth thanks to the availability and feasibility of autonomous and mobile systems necessary to societal needs. The increasing complexity of high volume fabricated systems will be possible if we aim at zero intrinsic variability, and generalize 3-D integration of hybrid, heterogeneous technologies at the device, functional, and system levels. Weighing on the world energy saving balance will be possible and realistic by maximizing the energy efficiency of co-integrated low power and high performance logic and memory devices.The future of nanoelectronics will face the major concerns of being energy and variability efficient.
