A Decade of Materials
|
Linx Consulting presented a white paper entitled EMERGING MATERIALS IN ADVANCED DEVICES at the recent Strategic Materials Conference in Half Moon Bay, CA.
The presentation began with a review of changes over the last 10 years: |
|
The paper reviewed the last decade of electronic materials and discussed whether this last decade was in fact The Decade of Materials. The paper also discussed changes in FEOL, BEOL and memory cell structures and concluded that materials enabled continued industry growth more than Moore:
1. Opportunities and innovations attract the largest newcomers, including:
2. Materials provide key technologies
3. Materials enable continuation of Moore's Law:
- High-K gate dielectrics
- Litho alternatives
The paper outlined future industry requirements and how current technologies that have been developed over the last decade can provide stop-gap solutions until newer technologies, such as EUV lithography are ready. In addition, it discussed the impact of new costs device producers are facing and how cost may push the industry to 450 mm wafers:
