Advanced Design, 1980The Mead & Conway Revolution
“As a result of improvements in
fabrication technology, Large Scale
Integrated (LSI) electronic has became
so dense that a single silicon LSI chip
may contain tens of thousands of
transistors. Many LSI chips, such as
microprocessors, now consist of
multiple, complex subsystems, and thus
are really integrated systems rather than
integrated circuits.
What we have seen so far is only the
beginning. […] It will eventually be
possible to fabricate chips with
hundreds of times as many components
as today’s.”

Advanced Design, 2013We See a Split#
• The Emerging Technology Nodes
– Non-planar CMOS at 22nm (Intel) & 14nm (foundries)
– Double patterning at 20nm, triple patterning ahead
– Complex, high volume chips: microprocessors, high-
end graphics, FPGA, wireless SoC
• The Established Technology Nodes
– A lot is done today in larger geometries
– 45/40nm and 28nm are expected to have long lives
– Key applications rely on them
– SoC can be complemented by 2.5D & 3D-IC, MEMS,
etc., enabling a longer technology lifespan

• Technologies look like “trailing edge” from a manu-
facturing process point-of-view
• Design, instead, is “bleeding edge” regardless of the
manufacturing process, and will even more THE
differentiator
• EDA is a critical ingredient of successful design
• The final result of combining “more than Moore” and
“more of Moore” can be surprisingly more advanced than
what is allowed by the simple progression of the
semiconductor roadmap through scaling
