Carnegie Mellon University received a $367,934 CAREER Project Grant award effective June 1, 2026, through the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to develop a hierarchical System-Technology Co-Optimization (STCO) framework for three-dimensional (3D) integrated circuit design. The primary deliverables include an open-source design toolchain that jointly explores device choices, packaging, and chip architecture for 3D ICs, along with virtual models of devices, circuits, packaging, and applications that enable rapid exploration of design alternatives. The project will produce new design methods and hardware prototypes that improve energy efficiency in 3D chip computing systems by co-localizing computation and memory within a single chip footprint, addressing current limitations in performance and energy consumption for advanced applications such as artificial intelligence large-language models. In addition to technical deliverables, the award supports workforce development and education initiatives through integration of 3D chip design modules into hands-on fabrication and advanced chip-design courses at Carnegie Mellon, establishment of technician training programs in semiconductor manufacturing, and engagement of K-12 students through interactive outreach programs. These efforts are designed to strengthen U.S. leadership in advanced semiconductor technologies while building technical capacity in the semiconductor workforce. The project extends through May 31, 2031, and will be conducted at Carnegie Mellon's Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania campus.Federal Grant Award Summary
