SANTA CLARA, CA, Dec 9, 2014 - (ACN Newswire) - With technology investments driving a significant percentage of the world's GDP, and semiconductors fueling much of that growth, industry progression to 7nm and smaller nodes is essential. But the challenges to advancing semiconductor technology are formidable as new approaches and materials are required to deal with increasingly complex constraints. On December 16, 2014, Applied Materials will host an important forum in San Francisco to examine some of the engineering challenges that lie ahead and discuss how the industry can overcome the many issues.
The discussion will address critical questions regarding major inflections for the semiconductor industry, such as what changes in architecture, materials, process and integration schemes will be required? Also, how will materials engineering enable these changes? How will packing density continue scaling? Will electrostatics, contact resistance, or source-drain tunneling pose the biggest challenge?
Guest speakers from across the industry will offer insights on these critical issues in a panel titled "How Do We Continue Beyond 7nm?" To register for this thought-provoking event, please visit: http://www.appliedmaterials.com/company/news/events/2014-IEDM
