08/29/2006 As features approach the dimensions of 2nm strands of DNA, atomic layer deposition (ALD) appears to have great promise for the very thin, conformal film layers that will be essential. It's already being used by DRAM makers and displays, but work on gate stacks is slow due to process and materials integration. Potential uses of ALD, and how this will drive the future market were explored in a panel at SEMICON West.
08/29/2006 During SEMICON West 2006, a group of the industry's top senior technologists came together to discuss the limits and possibilities for semiconductor material development. Dealing with the atomic limits of semiconductors materials engineering, and delivering very small amounts of material, may also require fundamental changes in business models. How can suppliers support themselves under a paid-per-gram materials model, when critical amounts delivered are now sub-gram?
