Limits of CMOS Technology Scaling and Technologies Beyond - CMOS
نویسندگان
چکیده
The scaling of CMOS transistors has driven the tremendous growth of the semiconductor industry for the last four decades. However, most experts are saying CMOS is reaching its limits. This paper discusses the technologies that may postponing the scaling limit and the technologies that may replace CMOS when the limit is reached.

Molecular Electronics: from Physics to Computing
Even if Moore’s Law continues to hold, it will take about 250 years to fill the performance gap between present-day computer and the ultimate computer determined from the laws of physics alone. Information processing technology in the post-CMOS era will likely consist of a heterogeneous set of novel device technologies that span a broad range of materials, operational principles, data represent...
متن کاملContinuing the Scaling of Digital Computing Post Moore’s Law
Computer devices are nearing the limits of scaling traditional CMOS technology that up to this day follows Gordon Moore’s predictions for doubling transistor density every 24 months. In fact, CMOS scaling is now predicted to first slow down and eventually cease by the middle of the next decade (John Shalf, 2014) (Mack, 2011), with industry forecasting that technologies beyond 2 or 3nm may be in...
متن کاملReview of Fin FET Technology and Circuit Design Challenges
Considering the difficulties in planar CMOS transistor scaling to secure an acceptable gate to channel control FinFET based multi-gate (MuGFET) devices have been proposed as a technology option for replacing the existing technology. The desirability of FinFET that it’s operation principle is same as CMOS process. This permits to lengthening the gate scaling beyond the planar transistor limits, ...

Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology scaling has been a main key for continuous progress in silicon-based semiconductor industry over the past three decades. However, as the technology scaling enters nanometer regime, CMOS devices are facing many serious problems such as increased leakage currents, difficulty on increase of on-current, large parameter variations, low reliab...
متن کاملChallenges and Emerging Technologies for System Integration beyond the End of the Roadmap of Nano-CMOS
By 2020 it is very likely that nano-CMOS will reach the end of the scaling roadmap. Such end will not mean the demise of silicon technology at all. While there are uncertainties as to what will be the show-stoppers, there is a large number of transitional and compatible to CMOS technologies that will be more important than just 2-D scaling. This paper discusses possible limitations bringing the...
