Bizen wafer process used to build Zpolar Transistors with Zpolar Tunnel Logic (ZTL); Ends monopoly of Taiwanese and Korean chip producers; Addresses semiconductor shortage crisis Maximize Chip

Search for the Next (SFN), the Nottingham-based developers of the compound combination of the Bizen wafer process, Zpolar transistor and Zpolar Tunnel Logic (ZTL), has made available a family of four ITMs (Infrastructure Time Machine) – process nodes – that will enable chip designers to produce ICs in older 180nm and even one micron geometry fabs with the equivalent performance of CMOS devices made in current state-of-the-art plants.

The complexity of integrated circuit design has expanded a billion-fold since the invention of the first transistor, guided by the famous “Moore’s Law” of semiconductor manufacturing. An important factor to this ever-growing expansion is the development of the digital design flow. A modern digital design consists of several steps, a simplified flow chart is shown below:
