Driving Innovation with Deposition Technologies
ABSTRACT
New materials have played a major role in enabling exponential innovation for Moore’s Law, as explained in the author’s 2016 contribution to ISS: “Moore’s Law, a Materials Play”. Has exponential innovation continued since then? What role have deposition technologies played driving innovation in semiconductors? And what role do we expect them to play going forward? In this presentation we will attempt to answer those questions. Moreover, we will present innovative deposition technologies intended to enable continued cost-per-bit scaling and performance improvements for memory, as well as power, performance, area and cost scaling for logic.
