As transistors are scaled to smaller dimensions, their static power increases. Combining two-dimensional (2D) channel materials with complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) logic architectures ...

Since CMOS has been around for about 50 years, a comprehensive history would be a book. This blog focuses on what I consider the major transitions. Before CMOS, there was NMOS (also PMOS, but I have ...

Intel's upcoming RibbonFET technology is set to debut in the company's 20A node next year, but already the chip maker is showcasing the next step: 3D stacked CMOS (complementary metal oxide ...

the scaling of silicon-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (Si MOSFETs) and evolution of novel structure transistors in accordance with Moore’s Law, especially for modern ...

The growing energy use of AI has gotten a lot of people working on ways to make it less power hungry. One option is to develop processors that are a better match to the sort of computational needs of ...

Semiconductor chips have been getting smaller and smaller every year since the 1960s, with double the number of transistors fitting into the same chip space each year following the predicted ...

—The development of a process flow capable of demonstrating functionality of a monolithic complementary FET (CFET) transistor architecture is complex due to the need to vertically separate nMOS and ...

Silicon chip manufacturers like Intel and TSMC are constantly outdoing themselves to make ever smaller features, but they are getting closer to the physical limits of silicon. “We already have very, ...

Forward-looking: The billions of transistors hidden within a single CPU are manufactured to execute just one specific function. A team of Viennese scientists, however, aims to introduce ...
