The latest Q5 interview is with Kevin Ritchie, senior vice president Texas Instruments. He reveals his thoughts on the limits of CMOS process technology, TI operating its own fabs, and the key technologies and applications facing TI.
The five short sharp questions this week are:
1. Power efficiency is the industry watch-word right now. What are the main tools and capabilities a chip maker such as TI has to address this in its products?
2. How close are we to the theoretical limits of CMOS process technology?
3. Will TI always operate its own fabs for both analogue and digital ICs?
4. If you had to name one key technology which will impact TI's business over the next 12 months what would it be?
5. If you had to name one key application which will impact TI's business over the next 12 months what would it be?
