Originial Post: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ME/News/2025/wiretowire-tsvs-may-be-the-key-to-faster-semiconductors As computer processors get smaller and more powerful, semiconductor engineers are running into the physical limits of how fast these chips can operate. One strategy involves stacking chips in 3D and using tiny wires called TSVs (through silicon vias) as vertical connectors. Purdue University researchers are zeroing in on the study of […]

March 18, 2025 – Washington, D.C. – The Honorable Dr. Chris Wright, U.S. Secretary of Energy, made a visit to the Purdue University-led research team during the 2025 ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit.  Dr. Wright experienced a live demonstration of the team’s innovative in-package direct-on-chip two-phase cooling technology, that is aimed at addressing the thermal challenges […]
