Krivi Specialty I/O Library Support UMC 28nm
September 24, 2015
There is an industry consensus about 28nm, the technology node is here to stay, and to stay for very long. If we except 20nm node, which by opposition will have a very short lifetime, 28nm is the last node following the economic part of Moore’s law: designing on smaller technology allows building cheaper IC when you integrate the same functions, or to integrate two fold more gates at the same price. If a chip maker has deep enough pocket to afford huge development cost (R&D cost in the $80 to $100 million) he can target 16FF or even 10FF, the resulting IC will be faster and lower power but not necessarily cheaper than on 28nm.
