Charge to Roadmap Group (DRAFT)

• Propose a roadmap for noise challenges in scaled technology.

Intended Use

• Target to illustrate quantitatively, the impact of scaling challenges that should be addressed.

  • we will want to leverage this in defining challenge problems

• Provide researchers ballpark guidance on scope of problems
  • (public, ground benchmark---not represent anyone's proprietary technology)

Scope

• composite random upset rates from various sources
  • (ionizing particles, shot noise, thermal...)
• composite aging effects (NBTI, Hot Carrier, ...)
• early lifetime failure (small devices, limits of burnin)
• variation (we assume ITRS answer is adequate, but include here for completeness)
• defects
• ??? (other significant issues should be on the radar?)

Possible sources

• Review first principles
• Extrapolate from published data in radiation community

Composition

• We are guessing this team will need to be mostly academics and government/national lab types. Perhaps some IC consumers? Would an independent vendor like iRoC participate?
