CMOS• Adopt TCAD based models following PIDS

• More consistent values of analog device parameters

• Reflect impact of local wiring on device parameters• Use interconnect roadmap information

• Review FOMs to better reflect application requirements• Apply consistently across technologies: CMOS, bipolar, III-V

2

Bipolar• Build the roadmap by simulation

• Consider performance plateaus of 3-4 years duration

• Improve the tie to application requirements in defining bipolar timing – Survey? iNEMI?
