As the semiconductor industry advances into the era of nanotechnology, the devices are expected to be scaled down to their physical and economic limits. These limitations require the industry to explore the use of novel materials and device structures able to replace the current CMOS transistors within the next few years. In this session, we elaborate on novel and emerging technologies, from advanced Silicon devices to carbon electronics, that can help pushing the Moore's Law beyond. We will detail the novel physical design techniques, architectural organizations and CAD tools identified to keep improving the performance of the computation structures, while maintaining an acceptable yield.
