From Smaller Transistors to Cleaner Qubits: The Continuous Quest for Higher Performance in Computing

Abstract
Si transistor scaling has enabled enormous increase in productivity and ubiquitous connectivity. However, continued increase of computing power is not trivial. We will discuss several tracks which could enable further increase and highlight work done at imec to design, fabricating and test devices to further enable “compute”. We will discuss transistors with 2D semiconductors and qubits, all devices fabricated in imec’s 300mm fab.
