This is largely due to the ability of conventional lithographic techniques to transfer trillions of mask featur es to wafers at defect densities approaching virtually zero in high-volume manufacturing. The resolution of optical lithography tools and the accura te alignment of tight-pitch features continue to be the biggest challenges for scaling. The continued scaling of complex device geometries is drivin g the need for novel lithographic techniques\, self-alignment strategies\, thin film deposition and etch strategies with atomic-layer precision. Giv en the fundamental physical limitations of conventional optical lithograph y\, novel patterning approaches are needed to overcome shortcomings in res olution\, pattern uniformity\, and pattern placement accuracy. Research in this area is a critical enabler of Moore’s Law in the foreseeable future. Bringing novel materials to high-volume manufacturing requires a highly c oordinated research and development pipeline. This talk will outline the c hallenges presented by traditional patterning processes and discuss comple mentary patterning techniques such as directed self-assembly (DSA) and sel ective deposition (SD)\, as well as the role novel materials could play as a means to future scaling\, will be explained.\n DTSTART:20150813T150000Z DTEND:20150813T163000Z LOCATION:Room 428\, Maass Chemistry Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0B8 \, 801 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:Extending Moore’s Law through Novel Materials URL:/chemistry/channels/event/extending-moores-law-thr ough-novel-materials-254505 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
