How has 20nm Changed the Semiconductor Ecosystem?
July 16, 2012
What does mango beer have to do with semiconductor design and manufacturing? At a table of beer drinkers from around the world I would have never thought fruity beer would pass a taste test, not even close. As it turns out, the mango beer is very good! Same goes for 20nm planar devices. “Will not work”, “Will not yield”, “Will not scale”, as it turns out 20nm is very good!!! The leading edge fabless people who were scratching their heads six months ago are now scheduling 20nm tape-outs for Q1 2013. Crowd sourcing wins again!
