As leading devices move to next generation nanosheets for logic, their interconnections are getting squeezed past the point where they can deliver low resistance pathways. The 1nm (10Å) node will have 20nm pitch and larger metal lines, but the interconnect stack already consumes a third of device power and accounts for 75% of the chip’s RC delay. Changing this dynamic requires a superior conductor, particularly at 18nm metal pitch, to better transfer signals and power efficiently. So even though copper-based solutions are being extended to the limit in fabs, the industry is preparing for the tipping point from copper to…
