Newer Ways to Shrink

Apr 19, 2022

The industry will continue to use EUV lithography and materials engineering to push logic density scaling to the limit. In recent years, DTCO techniques have supplemented classic 2D scaling, and today, these “newer ways to shrink” contribute about half of the industry’s progress.
