SAN FRANCISCO – After some debate, there is finally some consensus at the 22-/20-nm logic node-at least among leading-edge foundries.
During a panel session at the 2011 International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) here, IBM, Globalfoundries and TSMC all agreed that they would extend planar bulk CMOS to the 22-/20-nm node. In other words, don’t expect foundries to embrace FinFETs, fully depleted SOI, multi-gate transistors or other newfangled structures at 22-/20-nm.
