  • Abstract
    This paper explores the challenges facing process generations past the 32 nm technology node and speculates on what new solutions will be needed. The challenges facing planar and multiple-gate devices are compared and contrasted. Resistance and capacitance challenges are reviewed in relation to past history and on-going research. Key enhancers such as high-k metal-gate (HiK-MG), substrate and channel orientation, as well as NMOS and PMOS stress are discussed in relation to the challenges of the coming transistor generations.
