Semi fabrication technology set to overcome 2GHz problems
Tuesday, 23 January, 2001
New semiconductor fabrication techniques that will allow manufacturers to surmount the 2 GHz performance barrier are among the key microprocessor technology developments to watch in 2001, according to a forecast by Steve Leibson, Vice President and Chief Analyst at Cahners MicroDesign Resources (MDR).
They include spray-on transistor technology developed at the University of Cambridge that will allow 5-micron polymer transistors to be imprinted on a wide range of surfaces and a nanofabrication technique developed at University of California-Irvine that will enable fabrication of 15-nm molybdenum wires using electrodeposition.
