The end of Dennard scaling and the imminent end of semiconductor feature scaling means that software systems and applications will no longer benefit from 40% per annum performance increases, a continually rising tide that lifted all boats. Future software ...
For the past couple of decades the desire to add more complexity to a computer chip, while simultaneously reducing the cost per bit, has been accommodated by down-scaling. This approach has been extremely successful in the past, but like all good things it ...
Routing resources in modern FPGAs use 50% of the silicon real estate and are significant contributors to critical path delay and power consumption; the situation gets worse with each successive process generation, as transistors scale more effectively than ...

The quickening pace of the MOSFET technology scaling has pushed the MOSFET dimension towards 10 nanometer channel length, where it is going to face the following fundamental and performance limiting factors: (i) electrostatic limits, (ii) source to drain t ...
Reliable split C(V) measurements are shown to be feasible on ultra-thin oxides (down to 1.2 nm) by using relatively small area MOSFETs (typically 100 mum(2)). To this end, specific correction procedures for parasitic parallel capacitances and gate leakage ...
The low aspect ratio of the mega amp spherical tokamak (MAST) allows differentiation between different forms of the H-mode threshold scaling. With optimized fuelling using inboard puffing, and a connected double null divertor (DND) magnetic configuration, ...
Ultra-low power applications often require several kb of embedded memory and are typically operated at the lowest possible operating voltage (VDD) to minimize both dynamic and static power consumption. Embedded memories can easily dominate the overall sili ...
The growing explosion of digital data motivates renewed emphasis on new architectures for future data-centric workloads. At the same time, the inability of power to scale with increasing transistor counts has led to a recent focus on “dark silicon” designs ...
Since the advent of CMOS technology, the semiconductor industry has been successful in achieving continuously improved performance. The feature size of the most important electronic device, the Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET), ha ...
