Christoph Heer, Infineon Abstract: Continuous cost reduction is essential for successful semiconductor business. Technology scaling supports the reduction of variable product cost, but brings many new challenges with every technology node as chip designers are facing new failure types and even...

Volker Kiefer, Qimonda Abstract: Energy efficiency in electronic systems is a dominant topic in our industry. Among many other components, almost every electronic system contains memories and specifically DRAMs. Their energy consumption depends on the target application. The Si technology used to...

Brian Matas, IC Insights Abstract: Historically, the semiconductor market has been characterized by a pattern of cyclical peaks and valleys. Though the exact duration and magnitude of moving from one phase to the next has always been difficult to predict, there are some key elements such as...

Subhasish Mitra, Stanford University Abstract: Future system design methodologies must accept the fact that the underlying hardware will be imperfect, and enable design of robust systems that are resilient to such imperfections. This talk will describe enabling tools and technologies for building...

Pietro Perlo, Fiat Abstract: The electrical power-train is superior to the direct combustion based propulsion from several points of view: better overall energy efficiency, lower emissions, better fun to drive and reduced use of primary materials. The power-train of a full Electric Vehicle (EV) is...

Ulrich Schaefer, Bosch Abstract: From the expected development of the total worldwide IC market it will be shown, how the future number of needed IC designers develops during the next 15 years. A comparison with the actual number of engineering students, who are at the universities today, and...

Christian Sebeke, Bosch Abstract: More components, such as analog/radio frequency (RF), passive, high voltage (HV) power, sensor/actuator, bio-chip and micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) will be added to pure CMOS; processed or embedded in the chip or package instead of being added at system...

Gerd Teepe, AMD Saxony Abstract: High Performance Computing is reaching power limits. The energy bill of a computing center over its lifetime is surpassing the cost of its initial computer equipment purchase. “Performance per Watt” is now the new paradigm in compute-architectures, modes of operation...

Simon Yang, Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Abstract: As we arrived at the physical limits of CMOS technology, conventional scaling methodology is no longer viable to maintain the technology progress on the traditional trend characterized by Moore’s Law. On the other hand, due to the proven...

Giovanni De Micheli (EPFL) Abstract The ongoing scaling and hybridization of manufacturing technologies enables us to attain unprecedented levels of performance as well as to integrate electronic and fluidic circuits with sensors and actuators. Smart micro/nano systems will be the building blocks of...
