“Die cost reduction has been enabled so far by concurrent scaling of poly pitch, metal pitch, and cell height scaling. This [will likely] continue until 2024,” according to one of nine white papers ...

Moore's Law states that the density of transistors on a chip will increase exponentially - doubling in performance every two years. The computing industry has managed to adhere to this law since it ...

It's hard to be terribly optimistic about CMOS device scaling, particularly as power consumption replaces raw performance as the chief concern. At the Symposium on VLSI Technology last month, some of ...

Conventional CMOS scaling has entered a state of terminal decline. That's the bottom-line takeaway, when you cut through the marketing spiel from companies and look at the expected improvements ...

In the early '90s, many pessimists predicted that CMOS would hit a wall as it approached 100-nm and lower gate lengths toward the end of the century. But CMOS processes steadily marched forward, ...

In this interview, Sri Samavedam, senior vice president of CMOS technologies at imec, reviews important semiconductor industry trends. He explains how imec addresses these trends from within and ...

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The insight that scaling CMOS devices reduces operating voltage and channel dimensions at roughly the same rate wasn't widely understood until a decade after Gordon Moore's 1965 ...

Today’s consumer, communication, and computer electronic devices have clocks, communication interfaces, and high-speed signal-conditioning circuits that operate at radio frequencies (RF). Providing ...

Resolving internal routing congestion will be essential to enable CMOS area scaling to the N5 node and beyond. The solution will require new design maneuvers in place and route (PnR), as well as ...

Conventional CMOS scaling has entered a state of terminal decline. That's the bottom-line takeaway, when you cut through the marketing spiel from companies and look at the expected improvements ...
