1.1 Introduction Scaling of CMOS, the technology that has driven our industry for 45 years and prompted unprecedented innovations in device, circuit, and manufacturing, is coming to an end. There is no unanimous agreement as to precisely when this will happen, or whether it has already happened, or what classes of products it will impact first. However, there is no disagreement that the continued shrinking of CMOS feature size will end at some point. And when this does occur, what will be the consequences for our industry? Certainly, there will be changes in the way products are developed and produced. This paper will address some of the most important changes that we will see. In spite of the slowing of CMOS scaling, an unprecedented revolution in electronics is taking place. “Things” are getting smarter and more connected with more and more semiconductor content. Smart personal electronics, autonomous systems,
