"Waiting for the Post-CMOS Godot"

Dr. Sani R. Nasif, IBM, USA

Abstract: We all eagerly await the dawn of a new post-cmos era, which will enable us to make ever more complex systems with lower power, higher performance, lower cost, and other magical properties. The reality however, is that post is more likely going to be "very post"...And that we will need to maintain our current CMOS scaling trend for at least three or four more nodes before any new technology will emerge. While waiting and scaling, we will face a number of challenges, increasing technology complexity, reducing investment in R&D as fewer and fewer companies scale forward, and increasing fail rates from ever more variable. This keynow will examine these issues, pay careful attention to circuit resilience in future technologies, and propose some research topics to help keep CMOS healthy.
