Abstract :
Technology roadmaps help predict requirements for future technologies and guide ongoing technology research and development. The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) has been published since 1999; it is fully revised in odd-numbered years and updated in even-numbered years. In this paper, we describe a modeling framework to predict future characteristics and implied technology requirements of the ITRS microprocessor (MPU) `system driver´, following Moore´s Law scaling under power constraints. The outcomes of this modeling effort are the basis of ITRS updates to be published in the 2009 ITRS edition.
