ABSTRACT

The continuous scaling of CMOS is driving information-processing technology into a broadening spectrum of new applications. Many of these applications are enabled by performance gains or increased complexity realized by scaling (ITRS 2012). In its early editions, the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) emphasized miniaturization and its associated benefits in terms of performance, the traditional parameters in Moore’s Law (Arden et al. 2010). This trend for increased performance will continue, while performance can always be traded against power, depending on the individual application, sustained by the incorporation of new materials into devices and the application of new transistor concepts. This direction for further progress is labeled More Moore.
