Stop Doing CMOS Meme

STOP DOING CMOS • MOSFETS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THIS SMALL • YEARS OF PROCESS SHRINKS yet NO REAL-WORLD TRANSISTOR FOUND BELOW 24nm • Wanted to go faster anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: it was called “EMITTER COUPLED LOGIC” • “Yes please give me a fin FET. Please give me a gate all around FET” — statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged LOOK at what Semiconductor Researchers have been demanding your Respect for all this time, with all the EUV & ArF immersion steppers we built for them (These are REAL transistors patterned by REAL fabs) Drain Gate Source W Gate dielectric (a) ???? Gate Drain Oxide Source Silicon substrate ?????? N = # of single-NS along y direction TIN Drain Source Region of 2D material Nano's buffer High-k Single NS ?????????????????? “Hello I would like please” 1T Gate 2T Gate 2T Drain 2T Source 1T Source 3T Gate Drain/2T Source Substrate 1T Source They have played us for absolute fools

A mock-rant complains that semiconductor researchers keep demanding impossibly tiny transistor structures after years of process scaling. It shows increasingly elaborate transistor diagrams and ends with a deliberately absurd request for a transistor with gates and terminals everywhere. The punchline is that real semiconductor fabrication has supposedly made everyone accept ridiculous nanoscale designs, making this useful as a reaction to overcomplicated engineering or research claims.
