2022-11-10 17:53 Tags: # process variations A naturally occurring variation in the properties and characteristics of transistors (e.g. length, width, oxide thickness) when making ICs. This becomes more evident at smaller process nodes (<65nm) due to the variation being a higher percentage of the length/width. We are also approaching the wavelengths of usable light and the size of atoms is not changing while devices get smaller.
