Abstract :
This paper was focused on the 2009 international technology metrology roadmap for semiconductors based on front end processes, interconnect, lithography, and process integration roadmaps. Recent measurement innovations for high-k-metal gate material stack and measurement necessary for new transistor design were discussed. Graphene was emphasized for characterisation and device applications and properties were analyzed using methods such as TEM, LEEM, nano-Raman and several scanned probe methods, and other multiscale simulations.
