TOPIC AREA: EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
SPECIAL DAC SESSION 63: Devices That You Definitely Will (and Just Might) Use: Emerging Transistor Technologies for the Near-and Long-Term
Chair: Michael Niemier; Univ. of Notre Dame, IN
Organizers: Michael Niemier; Univ. of Notre Dame, IN
Xiaobo Sharon Hu; Univ. of Notre Dame, IN
Want to learn about the latest developments in FinFET-based processor design? What other transistor technologies might follow FinFETs and would they bring new design and modeling challenges? Come to this session to hear about both near- and long-term transistor technologies and their prospects for continuing Moore’s Law-based performance scaling trends. The session will begin with a discussion of FinFET technology; subsequent presentations will discuss tunnel transistors (TFETs) as well as other emerging FET technologies that could reenable voltage scaling. The session will conclude with a discussion of modeling efforts that consider the impact of new device technologies on von Neumann architectures as well as hybrid analog/digital circuits and architectures.
