Synopsys, Inc. and Applied Materials, Inc. announced a collaboration to develop technology computer-aided design (TCAD) models for next-generation semiconductor devices. The models derived from this TCAD collaboration will enable customers to speed up process development for 14-nanometer (nm) and 11-nm logic and new memory chip technologies, allowing them to lower cost and reduce time-to-market. The continued scaling of logic transistors and memory cells to smaller and smaller dimensions requ...
