AI in Semiconductors

What’s really holding back AI chip progress? The 2027 IEEE Technical Field Awards point to a surprising answer: packaging and system integration. While we obsess over transistor counts, the most impactful innovations are now in backside power delivery, interconnect efficiency, and system-level design. The award to Ann B. Kelleher for her work on CMOS with backside power delivery isn’t just a nod to process tech — it’s a signal that power delivery is now a core bottleneck. This shift means the next leap in AI performance won’t come from smaller nodes alone, but from smarter system architectures. The real innovation frontier is no longer just silicon — it’s how we connect it.
