Emerging Materials Opportunities for Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing

Background

Advanced chemicals and materials continue to be critical in achieving the performance increase in advanced IC manufacturing predicted by Moore’s “law.” The International
Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors is a document that is aimed to guide product development and performance requirements for all involved in the semiconductor supply chain, however, the ITRS has not always been a reliable guide to material needs.

In this report Linx Consulting will review anticipated materials needs for future IC nodes, and discuss the relative challenges, and target markets for materials on and off the roadmap.

EMERGING MATERIALS AND DEVICE ARCHITECTURES FOR ADVANCED SEMICONDUCTORS is an advisory report of approximately 200 pages electronically delivered in PowerPoint format. To develop this report Linx conducted extensive primary and secondary research, with supply chain participants, and end users.
