Electronics manufacturing has followed a well-worn path laid down by generations of creative engineers and scientists over the last almost century with constant incremental refinements being made to the processes from chip to system. Over the last six decades there has been an immense effort to make ever smaller transistors and in words taken from Gordon Moore’s seminal paper projecting the future of integrated circuits by “cramming” more transistors onto them. The wall that he knew existed is finally being reached and packaging is overtaking semiconductor manufacturing in importance to allow the process to continue. Projections for multiple trillion transistor integrated circuit assemblies are on the horizon. This presentation will take both a technological and philosophical look at the ramifications of continuing down that “well worn: path and question the wisdom of following it further and instead look a few threads that were abandoned or ignored and explore whether or not they might have been more fully explored and if it is really too late to examine more carefully things that were left behind or not yet fully appreciated, such as the Occam Process.
