Moore's Law 2.0 - How Small It Is To Be A 14nm FinFETFunctional Verification Blog - Axel SchererApr. 17, 2015 |
As I mentioned in my Blog on April 7, Moore’s law will turn 50 on April 19. What I did not emphasize enough in my discussion on silicon process evolution is size, or more accurately tininess.
In that post, I stated: “The fin width in a 14 nm process transistor is actually only 8nm! This is equivalent to about 15 layers of silicon lattice.”
But most people can not fathom what 8nm actually means. It is much smaller than you would assume. It truly is at the atomic scale, and the atomic scale is small beyond belief.
