IBM and Siemens Collaborate on Research to Advance Nanostack Architecture

What happened: IBM and Siemens announced a research collaboration to advance IBM's nanostack transistor architecture, combining IBM's semiconductor device innovation with Siemens' electronic design automation, process simulation, lithography optimization, and manufacturing software. Key numbers: Nanostack Why it matters: IBM says additional advances are needed to prepare nanostack for manufacturing at scale. The companies aim to accelerate development cycles and build the manufacturing foundation to bring nanostack toward production, with work extending beyond the current 7 angstrom node.
