The process has changed drastically from traditional 2D microelectronics, resulting in improved performance, higher integration density, and new functionalities. As applications become more complex and power-intensive, this technology can address the demands of high-performance computing, advanced sensors, and cutting-edge communication systems via wearable, flexible devices, etc. To manufacture higher-density microelectronics, recent advances in the fabrication of such 3D devices are discussed. Furthermore, the paper stresses the importance of novel materials and architectures, such as monolithic 3D integration and heterogeneous integration, in overcoming these challenges. We emphasize the importance of addressing complex issues to achieve better performance and higher integration density, which will play an important role in shaping the next generation of microelectronic devices. The multifaceted challenges involved in developing next-generation 3D microelectronic devices are also highlighted.
