Abstract :
The article presents a roadmap for the 2001 International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors. It uses performance figures of merit (FoMs) derived from basic circuits critical to mixed-signal design performance. Extrapolations from the FoMs to future performance values establish the device parameters necessary for design progress
