Abstract: Consumer and business appetite for electronic devices drives the semiconductor industry’s need for miniaturization. The state of the art of semiconductor devices now has critical feature dimensions substantially less than 0.1 μm. While many devices can be manufactured effectively at such dimensions through the continued extension and optimization of existing process technologies, it is uncertain at what point along the path of miniaturization such devices, which rely on the bulk properties of materials, will retain the required functional characteristics.
