While chipmakers are moving ahead with technology generations, maintaining the same timeline for scaling transistors in the front-end-of-line (FEOL), contacts and interconnects in the middle- (MOL) and back-end-of-line (BEOL) has become challenging.
The Last Technology Roadmap
After many delays, the last ever International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) has been published. Now that there are just a few companies remaining in the world developing new fab technologies in each of the CMOS logic and memory spaces,…
