Imec roadmap: 0.3nm nodes by 2038, CFET transistors viable at 0.7nm

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Imec's 2026 roadmap outlines a future for semiconductor manufacturing, projecting 0.3nm fabrication nodes by 2038 and the viability of CFET transistors at 0.7nm. The research organization is redefining Moore's Law, emphasizing cell size and density over traditional scaling as contact poly pitch is expected to plateau around 2030. This shift necessitates new technologies like CFET and potentially Hyper-NA EUV lithography to continue advancing chip capabilities. AI

IMPACT Sets the stage for future AI hardware development by outlining advancements in semiconductor manufacturing capabilities.
