2014 Semiconductor Engineering .:. Will 7nm And 5nm Really Happen?
<p>Oct 21, 2014 12:15 AM Mark Lapedus.. posted June 19 2014... Mark is excellent.</p>
<p>
Intel, Samsung, GF, and TSMC... only players left.</p>
<p>
Big Q will 7 nm ever happen?</p>
<p>
at 7 nm need new xsistor architect. and materials.</p>
<p>
leading xsistor candid. is high-mobility or 3-5 finfet.</p>
<p>
at 7 nm: gate all around fets; quantum well and SOI finfets...
germanium is leading option for channel.</p>
<p>
IMEC is targeting 2018 for 7 nm!</p>
<p>
Luc Van den hove pres of IMEC: 7 will happen!</p>
<p>
topdays finfets and planar FDSOI will scale to 10.
then loss of channel control at 7.</p>
