TL;DRAbstract
Traditional CMOS circuits are beset with problems as they scale to minimum dimensions of less than 100 nm. Moore's Law has applied for more than 40 years and has created a public expectation that we can keep getting more for less from the electronic products we use. Researchers are hunting for the recipe to extend the life of CMOS and move on beyond it. It looks likely that whatever follows on from CMOS as the industry's process of choice will be a hybrid of existing CMOS and a new technology that can offer a smooth transition path. Whatever comes next, though, is likely to have to deal with much greater failure rates and functional variability, making robust and redundant design techniques mandatory.
