Imec enables the ‘curvilinear’ manufacturing ecosystem – from design over OPC and mask to wafer.

Page-turner

Introducing curvilinear geometries in the design to manufacturing of advanced logic chips promises to improve the chip’s electrical performance while reducing wafer manufacturing costs and area when transitioning from one node to the next.Imec developed a solution for enabling curvilinear design and makes strides in establishing the entire manufacturing ecosystem – from design over optical proximity correction (OPC) and mask writing to wafer-level printing.Learn all about curvilinear design: the value proposition, possible use cases, a comprehensive workflow, and the need for ecosystem collaboration.

Curvilinear technology: a game changer for the logic technology roadmap

Technology platform for thermally stable DRAM peripheral transistors.

Imec proposes different material and integration options in response to the evolving needs of the DRAM periphery&nbsp;

Dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) chips contain many other transistors besides the access transistor to enable full operation of the DRAM memory.These peripheral transistors must meet stringent requirements which preclude a ‘copy-paste’ of regular logic transistor process flows.One critical requirement imposed by present DRAM chip architectures is the ability of the periphery to withstand thermal treatments at 550-600°C and above.Imec pioneered different generations of thermally stable peripheral transistor technology – from planar high-k/metal-gate transistors to FinFETs.
