Abstract
An advanced Intel 18A technology featuring RibbonFET and PowerVia provides over 30% density scaling and a full node of performance improvement compared to Intel 3. Intel 18A achieved 18%/25% performance (0.75V/1.1V) at iso-power over Intel 3 through an industry-first combination and optimization of advanced interconnects, a Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistor architecture, backside power, and design co-optimization. Intel 18A offers high-performance (HP) and high-density (HD) libraries with full-featured technology design capabilities and enhanced design ease of use.
