ITRS 2010: What happened during this off-year?

摘要

The year 2010 is an even-numbered year, so the update to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) generally undergoes few changes, saving the major changes for odd-numbered years. Nevertheless, substantial changes have occurred in 2010, including boosts in the timelines for NAND flash and DRAM device rollouts, backup plans for lithography forced by EUV delay, impending device and interconnect structural changes, and progress in 3D packaging.
