Semiconductor CMOS technology has enabled great products from smart
phones and laptops to internet, cloud based computation and data storage
that benefit our everyday lives. In this talk, we will discuss the
basics of CMOS technology, the "well known" Moore's law scaling, and
innovations in materials, processes and architectures that have enabled
the semiconductor "chips" that power these products today. Next we will
discuss future technology trends, challenges and potential roadblocks,
and innovations needed to continue Moore's scaling. Finally, we will
discuss key reliability challenges that plague the performance of these
products, which must be overcome to guarantee error free operation of
these chips till the end of product life. |
