- The ever-increasing hunger for speed and bandwidth has now engulfed the wireless domain in addition to its traditional hold in the wireline domain. Frequency of operations is closely related to heat dissipated as every operational cycle results in release of energy because of state transition. The operational frequency supported by a particular medium is the function of the medium’s electron mobility. On the substrate front, the band gap parameters of silicon limit the electron mobility, making it unsuitable for high-frequency operations.
- The scenario on the dielectric fronts is even trickier. Dielectrics are supposed to perform the function of providing capacitive coupling at semiconductor gates and providing insulation along interlayer interconnects. Miniaturization leading to compression in nodal distances has reduced the thickness of these dielectrics. This leads to leakage of electrons and loss of capacitive coupling and insulation. Industry experts have devised a two-pronged strategy of tackling this issue: Increase the capacitance at the gate level (high-k dielectric) and reduce it at the interlayer level (low-k dielectric). Naturally, a single material cannot exhibit dual characteristics; hence, the search is on for finding effective replacements for silicon dioxide on both these fronts.
- It is not as if dielectrics and substrates can be altered in isolation. There is a very close coupling between these two elements. Dielectrics are grown on the substrate. Consequently, there has to be compatibility between them in order to ensure smooth interfaces, patterning of nanoscale features, and consistency in thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties. Any change in dielectrics, therefore, will prompt a corresponding change in substrate and vice versa.
