Model Your Way to a Better Backend Technology
Workshop Program
MONDAY, OCTOBER 5
Workshop Chairs: Zhihong Chen (Purdue University) and Larry Zhao (Applied Materials)
In recent years, Moore’s law has been redefined to include beyond scaling and extended to include integration of heterogenous capabilities and power consumption reduction. It is clear that the focus of the semiconductor industry has been shifted from shrinking individual devices to integrating new functionalities onto the same chip. Introducing new materials to back-end-of-line processes and stacking or embedding memory transistors on top of logic transistors demands materials and device innovation; however, the performance of these new materials, processes and functionalities at the circuit and system level will not be clear until a large effort of integration has been undertaken.
In this workshop, leading scientists and innovators will review the modeling approaches used in industry and academia, providing a powerful means to predict the performance of continuous scaling and integration of new interconnects and memories on chip. They will also show benchmarking of various materials and device technologies.
