Imec Boosts Performance of Beyond-Silicon Devices
December 15, 2015 | ImecEstimated reading time: 3 minutes
“Imec’s R&D enables Moore’s law beyond the 5nm technology node through 3 approaches. First, we are tackling the technology challenges to extend silicon CMOS devices towards smaller nodes. At the same time, we research into disruptive heterogeneous solutions for beyond-silicon CMOS devices to increase performance and introduce new functionalities. Lastly, imec pursues emerging beyond-CMOS devices and systems such as spintronics to investigate further functional scaling beyond device-density-driven scaling,” stated Aaron Thean, vice president and director of imec’s advanced logic R&D program. “Boosting the performance of advanced compound semiconductor logic devices is extremely important, and these results support the quest of the semiconductor industry to find solutions that enable 5nm technology nodes and beyond.”
“ASM and imec have a long history of R&D collaboration using many of ASM’s products and advanced deposition and thermal processes,” says Ivo Raaijmakers, ASM CTO and Director of R&D. “As a leader in ALD, we are glad to see this breakthrough new ALD material now demonstrated in imec’s high mobility devices and presented at IEDM 2015.”
Imec’s research into advanced logic scaling is performed in cooperation with imec’s key partners in its core CMOS programs including GlobalFoundries, Intel, Micron, Panasonic, Qualcomm, Samsung, SK Hynix, Sony and TSMC.
