Moore's law may be considered dead at Intel, but TSMC does not agree.
>Wong, who is vice president of corporate research at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp, gave a presentation at the recent Hot Chips conference where he claimed that not only is Moore’s Law alive and well, but with the right bag of technology tricks it will remain viable for the next three decades.
“It’s not dead,” he told the Hot Chips attendees. It’s not slowing down. It’s not even sick.”
I'm not sure chip fabs are ever going to say Moore's law is dead -- I interned at Intel last summer, and Moore's law was pretty much all they could talk about. (In fact, they made very similar claims at the exact same conference [0]).
In fact, multiple gates can be created in the same transistor, in an effect SFN calls “multi-tunnel.” Multiple NOR and OR gates can thus be created from a single Bizen transistor, allowing creation of logic circuits with many fewer devices. This can result in a three-fold increase in gate density with a corresponding reduction in die size for integrated circuits based on the transistors. Summerland said that SFN is also creating a reduced device count processor architecture to enable analogue computing with Bizen transistors.
