Abstract

The evolution of the electronic devices was driven for many years by the scaling of the CMOS transistors. Recently, strong improvements of the CMOS technology together with the introduction of new materials, i.e. high-\(\kappa \) and low-\(\kappa \) dielectrics, permitted Moore’s law to stay alive.

It doesn’t matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are. If it doesn’t agree with experiment, it’s wrong.

Richard P. Feynman
