Abstract:
Moore’s law is getting ever more difficult to continue, yet we keep upping the ante. This talk will describe how TSMC, the world’s largest pure-play silicon foundry, is leading into new territories with 7nm and beyond. Every generation now requires disruptive innovations to keep scaling and providing denser, faster, and lower power technologies.
