Abstract :
The ongoing drive for increased speed and density of CMOS technology requires the continuous innovation of advanced elements and processes. With the development of new materials also comes new manufacturing challenges. In this paper, we will give an overview on the technology and process challenges, innovation roadmap, and manufacturability strategies. We will also discuss the importance of collaboration in the CMOS business model.
