imec Advances CFET Device Roadmap Research
Understand the story
According to a Semiconductor Engineering report on October 6, 2026, imec continues to advance its device roadmap research based on CFET (complementary field-effect transistor). The report says the industry expects a possible shift to the CFET architecture starting from the A7 logic node, at which point standard cells could shrink to 4.5-track and below. In its research, imec proposes novel integration modules and standard cell configurations to support implementing this architecture at more advanced nodes. The report contains no other timeline or data details, and the event currently remains at the level of imec's research and roadmap predictions.
