Cleanroom packaging in contamination-critical environments GMP and PPWR – a contradiction?

In the production of pharmaceutical and medical device products, high standards for product quality, cleanliness, and hygiene must be met. To prevent damage and contamination during handling and transportation, products must be appropriately packaged. In many cases, flexible plastic packaging is use…

Figure 1 – Conceptual representation of (a) a single-row CFET and (b) a double-row CFET. The layout of a flip-flop (D-type flip-flop or DFF) shows a reduction of the cell height and area by 24 nm (or 12.5%) when transitioning from a single-row to a double-row CFET (H. Kuekner et al., IEDM 2024).

Figure 2 – Virtual process flow for building a double-row CFET architecture. The process flow, simulated with 3D Coventor, started from the specifications of a ‘virtual’ CFET fab, projecting future processing capabilities and design margins (H. Kuekner et al., IEDM 2024). The zoom-in represents a TEM of a monolithic CFET technology demonstrator fabricated within imec’s 300mm R&D cleanroom facility (A. Vandooren et al., IEDM 2024).
