Next Gen Semiconductors

Mastering Vertical Stacking for the Next Era of Semiconductors

The flat world of silicon has reached its limit; the only way forward is up.

Strategic Objectives

• Unlock the architectural secrets of 3D complementary device stacking.

• Understand the shift from FinFET and Nanosheets to the CFET paradigm.

• Navigate the complex fabrication challenges of vertical n-p integration.

• Future-proof your knowledge of sub-2nm semiconductor manufacturing.

The Core Challenge

As Moore's Law faces the physical wall of lateral scaling, traditional 2D transistor architectures can no longer deliver the density required for next-gen computing.
