From Roadmaps to Reality: The Challenges of Designing Tomorrow's Chips

摘要

Most microelectronics specialists believe that the current CMOS-based rate of development in integrated circuit technology can be sustained for the next 15 years. Yet, as optimistic as this sounds, maintaining such steady growth represents a huge and continuing challenge. A few simple observations should make this clearer. They are based on the Technology Roadmaps, published every two years by the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA).
