Intel Foundry Services has signed a deal with Arm that will see the two companies work on a program of system and design-technology co-optimization.

Adding an MOL layer that takes advantage of a self-aligned pitch-splitting technique and a rotated layout could cut standard-cell height to 4T.

Aiming for a primarily physical event in the fall, organisers of the 2021 IEDM have published the tutorial and short-core schedule.

Imec showed at VLSI Symposia a process flow that can cut the gap between complementary transistors to less than 20nm.

AMD worked with Microsoft and Azure to cut DRC runtimes and control memory usage for a 7nm cloud-based design.
