The density increase is similar between those two jumps, isn’t it? Density significantly drives the price of chips since you can use it to create more chips per wafer. Maybe developing chips at 2 nm will be much more difficult due to quantum effects?
- packetlost 6y agoBefore you start reaching quantum effects, you'll run into crosstalk problems where electrons on 1 circuit path can jump through the silicon substrate to other paths, effectively causing a short. There is a limit to how much you can do with silicon as your substrate simply because of the size of the atoms.
- oivey 6y agoThat’s quantum tunneling, right? That’s one of the quantum effects I was referencing.
- fomine3 6y agox nm is now tend to be a marketing number, so not so much compared to old number.
