4 Smart systems which interact with peple and the envirnment, efficient healthcare, experience virtual cmmunities as real life, all these fantastic applicatins need chips with teraflp and terabit cmpute and strage capabilities. Further scaling is indispensible t realize this. Imec is tackling this tgether with wrld-leading IC manufacturers, equipment and material suppliers in ur state-f-the-art clean rm. High n imec s research agenda are the intrductin f new materials and new transistr architectures, advanced lithgraphy, advanced memry cncepts, intercnnects with fcus n 3D, and cnnected IC prcess technlgy with system design. Research builds n an extensive knwhw in characterizatin and mdeling. Rutes are explred fr beynd CMOS with new devices and new cmputatinal state variables.
