The semiconductor industry is exploring new patterning techniques beyond traditional lithography to continue Moore's Law scaling. While not replacing current methods for silicon integrated circuits, these novel approaches may enable advanced nanoarchitectures.

Area of Science:

  • Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
  • Semiconductor Manufacturing
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • The 32 nm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology node, utilizing 193 nm lithography, will soon enable microprocessors with over 2 billion transistors.
  • Moore's Law is challenged by the limitations of conventional top-down patterning, necessitating the exploration of alternative techniques.
  • Current alternative patterning methods may not outperform traditional lithography for silicon integrated circuits but show promise for novel nanoarchitectures.

Discussion:

  • Evaluation of alternative patterning methods for advanced nanoarchitectures.
  • Benchmarking criteria for assessing patterning techniques against CMOS scaling.
  • Focus on methods developed at the Center on Functional Engineered Nano Architectonics.
