Abstract
Performance improvement by simple device scaling is running out of steam. Design and Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO) and System and Technology Co-Optimization (STCO) are the hot topics to overcome scaling issues by collaboration among device, circuit, and system communities. Another approach is seeking device innovation from manufacturing side with material and process communities.
