Life-Cycle Energy and Global Warming Emissions of CMOS Logic

摘要: Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) is the dominant device structure for digital logic. The central processing unit (CPU) in desktops, laptops, handheld devices and servers, as well nearly all embedded logic (the chips appliances toys) are composed of CMOS transistors. Every one to three years, a new generation or technology node introduced, based on design laws which have been established through industrial collaboration. Due cooperation necessary plan achieve goals each generation, there considerable homogeneity among manufactured by major producers at node. A generic version may thus be used LCA represent products from many different manufacturers.
