The semiconductor industry is preparing to transition to three-dimensional CFET transistors, which place nFET and pFET transistors on top of one another to increase density and performance. However, their success will depend on interconnect precision, defect control, and warpage. Intel, TSMC, Samsung, and IBM are pursuing different manufacturing approaches, with growing reliance on multiphysics simulation and virtual manufacturing.
