Imec route to sub-3nm logic

Imec has  presented  first standard cell simulation results of its forksheet device designed for sub-3nm logic technology nodes. Compared to nanosheet devices, the reduced n-to-p spacing results in a 10% performance increase. When combined with scaling boosters, the new device architecture will bring logic standard cell height down to 4.3 tracks, which combined with cell ...
