What’s So Great About 3D Microchips?

I've Always Wanted To Know: What's so great about 3D microchips? Why is it any better then the current 2D production method? Answer: Microchips currently are made using a two dimensional (2D) process which means that circuits are all laid out on a single level of the chip. If microchips could be designed in three dimensions instead of just two, then you could build levels on top of each other.
