Agenda • Scaling • ITRS Roadmap
Scaling -- Gate Drain Scaling Factor is S Drain Gate Source Source
Scaling -- Gate • Capacitance is proportional to S • Voltage is proportional to S • Frequency is inverse proportional to S
Interconnect • Ways to reduce interconnect power consumption • Shorter wire length • More spacing • Clock gating
