Moore’s Law and 40nm Yield
November 29, 2009
To follow up one of my most popular blogs TSMC 40nm Yield Explained!, here is a closer look at the 40nm yield issues that currently plague the semiconductor industry. It’s a direct result of Moore’s Law, the climbing transistor count and shrinking geometries. It’s a process AND design issue and the interaction is at the transistor level.
