Abstract:

While novel device structures using nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and organic molecules may be far away, there are opportunities to use nanomaterials in solving critical issues faced by silicon CMOS downscaling.

Two examples, both using carbon nanotubes, in chip cooling and developing interconnects will be discussed. In addition, the successful use of carbon nanotube probes in Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) metrology will be described.

Finally, prospects for using carbon nanotubes and nanowires of silicon and germanium in fabricating vertical and planar transistors as well as phase-change nanowires for PRAM applications will be discussed.

The author acknowledges Bin Yu, Jeff Sun, Quoc Ngo, Jun Li, and Cary Yang for their contributions to the material presented in this talk.

2007 ITRS Public Conference Program Abstract:

The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) is considered the gold standard of industry roadmaps.

In 2007, the ITRS celebrates its tenth year as the first International Roadmap for any industry. As technologies and structures push the limits of Moore’s law and productivity, the ITRS 15-year assessment of the semiconductor industry technology requirements and potential solutions indicates new approaches to maintain scaling and introducing functionality on and off-chip.

Public feedback is welcomed as the ITRS working groups present their draft material for the latest revision of the new 2007 ITRS. Opportunities for networking, electronic posters, and Q&A will be part of the public interaction.

ITRS representatives from the ITRS sponsoring regions - Europe, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and the U.S. - will be available to the audience throughout the conference. A networking social follows the event for all attendees.

The following teams will present their latest information as a preview of their 2007 ITRS work:

2007 ITRS Public Conference Topics:

  • Overall roadmap technology characteristics
  • Assembly and packaging
  • Test and test equipment
  • Yield enhancement
