Keynote Presentation

 

Many ways to shrink: The right moves to 10 nanometer and beyond
Martin van den Brink,
President and CTO, ASML

With mobile devices such as smartphones outpacing other market segments, the demand for low-power chips, enabled by continued device shrink, continues to be strong. The semiconductor industry’s drive to innovate is relentless, R&D pipelines are filled, and IC manufacturers have multiple options to continue scaling. This presentation will examine the different technology options for the 10 nanometer node and beyond.
