2015 outlook: Tech trends and drivers

摘要

This year, the semiconductor industry celebrates the 50th anniversary of Moore's Law. We are at the onset of the 3D era. We expect to see broad adoption of 3D FinFETs in logic and foundry. Investments in 3D NAND manufacturing are expanding as this technology takes hold. This historic 3D transformation impacting both logic and memory devices underscores the aggressive pace of technology innovation in the age of mobility. The benefits of going 3D - lower power consumption, increased processing performance, denser storage capacity and smaller form factors - are essential for the industry to enable new mobility, connectivity and Internet of Things applications.
