Strategic Research Agenda of "More than Moore"

Abstract

In the past decades, the main stream of microelectronics progresses is mainly powered by Moore's law, with two focused development arenas, namely, IC miniaturization down to nano dimension, and SoC based system integration. While microelectronics community continues to invent new solutions around the world to keep Moore's law alive, there are ever-increasing awareness, R&D effort and business drivers to push the development and application of "more than Moore" (MtM) that are based upon or derived from silicon technologies but do not scale with Moore's law (with typical examples as RF, Power/HV, sensor/actuator/MEMS, SiP, SSL, etc.). Starting from a short overview about the motivation and activities of Eniac (European Nanoelectronics Initiative Advisory Council), this paper highlights part of the strategic research subjects for the technology domain of "more than Moore"
