Air Products work with SEMATECH in developing <10 nm III-V semiconductor devices

SEMATECH has announced that Air Products has joined its Front End Processes (FEP) program, and will work with SEMATECH to assess advanced materials and technologies for the development of sub-10 nm node III-V devices. Below is the full release from SEMATECH on this subject: Continued scaling will require the use of new materials and chemistries to keep pace with the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS). For example, III-V channels offer significant power and performance benefits, such as higher mobility, enhanced drive current and supply voltage scaling which enable continued device scaling and performance improvement. As a member of this program, located at SUNY’s College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE), Air Products will closely collaborate with SEMATECH's engineers and leverage SEMATECH's activities in advanced materials to enable better understanding of the underlying principles responsible for the deposition of III-V structures. The goal of this team will be to help guide the development of new chemical products that address a wide variety of needs for next generation semiconductor devices. “Air Products will be cooperating with SEMATECH to accelerate the introduction of innovative products to the marketplace,” said Dr. John Langan, the Global Director of Electronics Technology for Air Products. “By leveraging the capabilities of...
