Directions for drivers and design

摘要

The Design International Technology Working Group for the 2001 International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) renewal consisted of over 50 international experts. Together, this group developed a new System Drivers chapter in the ITRS, a revised Design chapter, and a number of basic models (clock frequency, layout density, power dissipation, etc.) that define elements of the Overall Roadmap Technology Characteristics (ORTCs). This article excerpts several highlights of these contributions.
