Towards 10kAmp AI Chips: Vertical Power Delivery Becomes Critical
jwt0625 · x · 2026-08-05
As power consumption in AI chips surges, traditional power delivery methods are hitting their limits. A new paper discusses power systems for 10kAmp-level AI chips, highlighting the architectural shift from lateral to vertical power delivery.
The author notes that meeting the extreme power demands of future chips requires not only better electron-to-photon conversion for light-based power delivery, but also the integration of massive arrays of capacitors at the packaging level to stabilize current.
