They are three of the top trending terms on SemiWiki and three of the hot topics at this year’s Semicon West:
In its 43rd year, SEMICON West is the flagship annual event for the global microelectronics industry. It is the premier event for the display of new products and technologies for microelectronics design and manufacturing, featuring technologies from across the microelectronics supply chain, from electronic design automation, to device fabrication (wafer processing), to final manufacturing (assembly, packaging, and test). More than semiconductors, SEMICON West is also showcase for emerging markets and technologies born from the microelectronics industry, including micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), photovoltaics (PV), flexible electronics and displays, nano-electronics, solid state lighting (LEDs), and related technologies.
The semiconductor ecosystem is showcased at SEMICON West with over 50 hours of technical programs and 600+ exhibitors. To see what’s new check out theSilicon Innovation Forum which brings together new and emerging companies with the semiconductor industry’s top strategic investors and leading technology partners. Paul McLellan and I will be blogging live from SEMICON West this year so stay tuned to SemiWiki if you can’t make it.

| colspan=”3″ valign=”top” style=”width: 10%” | The mobile market is driving the semiconductor industry to continue its move to transistor architectures that offer greater performance and power benefits than traditional planar architectures. There is not, however, only one way to achieve the required performance. IC manufacturers are pursuing different strategies including leveraging innovations in design rules. To continue the pace of development below 20nm, however, the industry will need to find suitable new channel materials and processes (e.g., MOCVD). This session will present various transistor architecture options below 20nm and the status of channel materials development. Additionally, inspection and metrology challenges associated with new materials will be discussed.

EUVL Source and Infrastructure Progress
Wednesday, July 10, 2013

| colspan=”3″ style=”width: 10%” | DescriptionThough progress to take EUVL into the realm of high-volume manufacturing continues to be made, the readiness of the source technologies to take on HVM are still not known with a high degree of certainty. The challenges facing source development are still average power, dose stability and uptime. EUV mask and resist infrastructure readiness activities must also come together in time and address such challenges as defect density (for masks), and line edge roughness, sensitivity, and resolution for resists. No doubt, there will be multiple opportunities to insert EUVL into lower volume production lines – such opportunities will be based on specific products and device applications. Until EUVL is ready for HVM, the industry must continue to rely on double-patterning and even multiple-patterning lithography schemes using 193 immersion lithography to take it beyond 22nm. Speakers will present the current status of EUVL readiness, as well as discuss the current plans and challenges of extending 193i with double and multiple-patterning.
