International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors

The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) is a set of documents that was produced by a group of experts in the semiconductor industry. These experts were representative of the sponsoring organisations, including the Semiconductor Industry Associations of Taiwan, South Korea, the United States, Europe, Japan, and China.

As of 2017, ITRS is no longer being updated. Its successor is the International Roadmap for Devices and Systems.

The documents carried disclaimer: "The ITRS is devised and intended for technology assessment only and is without regard to any commercial considerations pertaining to individual products or equipment".

The documents represent best opinion on the directions of research and time-lines up to about 15 years into the future for the following areas of technology:

System drivers/design
Test & test equipment
Front-end processes
Process integration, devices and structures
Radio frequency and analog/mixed-signal technologies
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)
Photolithography
IC interconnects
Factory integration
Assembly & packaging
Environment, safety & health
Yield enhancement
Metrology
Modeling & simulation
Emerging research devices
Emerging research materials
