Intel set the tone for the gate-oxide scaling debate - researcher Robert Chao said transistors with 30-nm[32] LG, and a gate oxide of just 8Å (0.8- nm), conceivably could be made in 2005, when the 70-nm[65] technology node moves into manufacturing ….

ITRS 2001 Renewal - Work in Progress - Do Not Publish gigahertz or bust (Cnet - Feb 15, 2001)..Ultimately (in the 2005 time frame ) we will manufacture microprocessors based on 30-nanometer [32] transistors, and EUV lithography will be a critical component of that manufacturing process. The processors that result from this will operate at around 10GHz …EUV lithography is scheduled to support IC manufacturing at the 70-nanometer [65] technology node. This requires preproduction tools for process development in late 2003 or early 2004 and production tools in 2005 … (Cnet interview with Charles Gwyn, general manager and program director of the Extreme Ultraviolet LLC consortium) *For more...

Ltd. has busted the DRAM density barrier with a prototype DDR SDRAM chip that has four times as many transistors as anything ever made before, according to the Korea-based company. Samsung engineers have managed to squeeze more than 4 billion transistors onto a single chip, said Hongil Yoon, a senior Samsung engineer, today at the ISSCC in San Francisco. The chip uses a twisted open bitline architecture, and measures a whopping 645 square millimeters, or 1 square inch [25.4mm square, 0.150u2 ave cell area x.90 (est. cell area efficiency) = cell area; using 0.10u design rule* => a=15; versus ITRS 2000 Update: a=8, f=0.13u, af^2 = in 2001]. *For more...

ITRS 2001 Renewal - Work in Progress - Do Not Publish 32 Rev 6 ITRS Scenario Proposal - Scenario 3.5 MPU/ASIC Half-pitch Correction Additional careful evaluation of the Fabless Semiconductor Association (FSA) Sc 4.0 Node goals suggests that the actual MPU/ASIC (M/A) half- pitch should lag the FSA Node goals by 1 year. This is more consistent historically [2-year lag, accelerating to a 1-year lag, crossing over in future (2005) per conclusions at the Taiwan ITRS meeting]. Therefore, please review an attached proposal M/A Sc 3.5 table line items for a more correct proposal for the M/A half-pitch and the associated M/A Sc 3.5 Printed (PrGL) and Physical (PrGL Gate Lengths. For continuity, additional graphs are included to show the progression from Sc 2.0 -> Sc 2.0 -> Sc 3.0 -> Sc 4.0(FSA Node Goals) -> M/A Sc 3.5 Also included are the FSA Node Roadmap w/ Sc 3.5 M/A half-pitch analysis and the other collateral backup articles reviewed at the 2/26 (Asia) and 2/28 (Eur) IRC Teleconferences.
