Moore's Law did indeed stop at 28nmMonolithIC 3D Blog - Deepak SekarSep. 21, 2016 |
As we have predicted two and a half years back, the industry is bifurcating, and just a few products pursue scaling to 7nm while the majority of designs stay on 28nm or older nodes.
Our march 2014 blog Moore’s Law has stopped at 28nm! has recently been re-confirmed. At the time we wrote: “From this point on we will still be able to double the amount of transistors in a single device but not at lower cost. And, for most applications, the cost will actually go up.” This reconfirmation can be found in the following IBS cost analysis table slide, presented at the early Sept FD-SOI event in Shanghai.
