ITRS Roadmap
ICT 25 – Generic micro- and nano-electronic technologies
What we want
• To keep Europe's position at the forefront of advanced microand nano-electronic technologies developments
• To ensure strategic electronic design and manufacturing
capability in Europe avoiding dependencies from other regions
ICT 25 – Generic micro- and nano-electronic technologies
Scope:
• The technological challenges in information processing and
communications based on memory and logic devices, circuits
and architectures for advanced CMOS technologies
• New alternative information processing devices and
microarchitectures for existing or new functions
The objective is to sustain the historical integrated circuit scaling
cadence and reduction of cost/function into future decades

Research & Innovation Actions
38 M€ - 100% funding
Extend MOSFET to the end of the ITRS roadmap Make "Beyond and Extended CMOS" devices
CMOS compatible
Focus on high mobility substrates for performance improvement, new switch
architectures for reduced energy dissipation, 3D approaches, new information
carriers, emerging memory devices and on interconnecting nanoscale objects and
novel interconnect architectures. Project may include activities related to
modelling and simulation: e.g. quantum and atomic scale effects. Exploratory
research on Graphene devices are not included under this objective.
Integrate functionalities in System-on-Chip (SoC) / System-in-Package (SiP)
by using nanostructures and/or nanodevices.
New computing paradigms like quantum computing and neuromorphic computing with a focus on
their future integration with Si technologies
Design for advanced nanoelectronics technologies. Focus on: Energy efficiency, high reliability,
robustness.
