There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom - and at the Top Tsu-Jae King Liu UC Berkeley Abstract: The virtuous cycle of integrated-circuit (IC) technology advancement has been sustained for over 50 years, resulting in the proliferation of information and communication technology with dramatic economic and social impact. Industry experts predict that the pace of increasing transistor density will slow down dramatically within the next 5 years, however, due to fundamental limits of the conventional photolithographic patterning process. Scaling of IC feature sizes beyond the resolution limit of lithography has been enabled by multiple-patterning techniques, but at significant incremental cost. In the first part of this seminar, I will describe a more cost-efficient approach for defining sub-lithographic features, to help extend the era of Moore’s Law. Beyond Moore’s Law, the proliferation of mobile electronic devices and the emergence of applications such as wir...
