  • Collection |

    In this Collection, we invite research in 3D heterogeneous integration, including both stacking and interconnecting multiple chips within a single package and fabricating layers of transistors sequentially on a single wafer, known as 3D monolithic integration. In this collection, we aim to drive research in the engineering side of 3D integration through a holistic approach to devices.
