Problem
1. Aluminium wires do not tolerate current densities higher than 1 MA/cm2. What are maximum currents that can run in micrometre aluminium wiring?
2. CMOS linewidths have been scaled down steadily by 30% every three years. In the year 2000, linewidths were in the range of 0.18µm. When will linewidth equal atomic dimensions?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
