Has nice models and details on post cmos, for the curious. The papers (nikonov and young) are excellent, though I think they underrate the back end scaling challenges.

This is about replacing the low k dielectric in the backend, and makes sense if you consider that backend metal will move to W or Co. so long as this is CMP capable (maybe?) this makes sense.
