Understanding Semiconductors
Modern metrology from Lab to Fab by Rigaku.
A podcast for engineering leaders in characterization, metrology, process, and analytics, looking for discussion around semiconductor metrology challenges.
In this episode, SUMAN DATTA on What is the Next Big Thing In The Semiconductor Industry? (Part 2)
KEY TOPICS
- Transistor Scaling
- Metrology
- CMOS
Here is part two of Markus’ conversation with Suman Datta. This episode is a thorough examination of his current research and how metrology envisions the Path Beyond CMOS:
- What’s going to change in the transistor structure in the future?
- The importance of power delivery
- How to utilize the front and backside for vertical scaling?
- Using a representative stack and metrology and correlating it to real-world performance
- What’s the penalty from the bonding approach?
- The importance of reliability is a function of not only the material but also the use case
Suman is the Joseph M Pettit Chair of Advanced Computing and Georgia Research Alliance (GRA), an Eminent Scholar, and a Professor in the School of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech. His research group focuses on semiconductor devices that enable new computing models such as in-memory computing, brain-inspired computing, cryogenic computing, resilient computing, etc. (source)
