Simone Bertolazzi, PhD.

Simone Bertolazzi, PhD, is a Principal Technology & Market Analyst at Yole Intelligence (part of Yole Group), working with the Semiconductor, Memory, and Computing division. He is a member of Yole’s Memory team and contributes daily to the analysis of memory markets and technologies, their related materials, and fabrication processes. Simone obtained a PhD in Physics in 2015 from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Switzerland), where he developed flash memory cells based on heterostructures of 2D materials and high-κ dielectrics. Simone also earned a double M. A. Sc. degree from Polytechnique de Montréal (Canada) and Politecnico di Milano (Italy), graduating cum laude.

Memory and Processors for Chiplet Designs

The rise of generative AI applications and high-performance computing (HPC) in data centers has boosted demand for high-speed memory and computing devices with low-latency interfaces. In this context, heterogeneous integration and chiplet architectures enabled by advanced packaging approaches (e.g., hybrid bonding) are being regarded as the most promising solutions to address the memory-bandwidth bottleneck and increase the performance of computing systems via a tight integration of logic and memory functions.

This talk will provide an overview on the interplay between memory and processors in terms of technology and markets trends, describing the main solutions, the challenges, and the opportunities ahead for semiconductor players.
