Anyone got a reference for the number of atoms in the pitch of 14nm transistors? I recall it was pretty low for 22nm and it's surprisingly hard to find this information.
- zokier 12y agoWikipedia says the following: > Silicon, like carbon and germanium, crystallizes in a diamond cubic crystal structure, with a lattice spacing of 0.5430710 nm So I suppose that means 14nm feature would be 26 atoms?
- danbruc 12y agoThe order of magnitude is correct. The interconnect pitch being 52 nm means that the width of a wire plus the isolation to the neighboring wire is just under 100 atoms.
