For example, advanced stacked die, monolithic 3D and other 2.5D/3D IC technologies could also play a role at future nodes. And for that matter, what does the designation “5nm” mean in the first place?

In the relentless pursuit of faster and more efficient integrated circuits, the semiconductor industry has embarked on a remarkable journey, venturing into the incredibly small 5nm technology node. At ...

Scaling is also slowing at advanced nodes. Generally, a 7nm foundry process consists of a contacted poly pitch (CPP) ranging from 56nm-57nm with a 40nm metal pitch, according to IC Knowledge and TEL.
