In an earlier column, 28nm - The Last Node of Moore’s Law, we pointed out that the change has already happened. It is no longer a matter of forecast or prediction. In this blog, we will start by reviewing some of what has transpired since that column was published. Then we will focus on the ensuing paradigm shift in the semiconductor industry.
The following chart was presented in the IEEE IITC workshop by GlobalFoundries. It illustrates the cost impact of the double patterning required for scaling below 28/22 nm.
