Workshop: advanced semiconductor technologies and system scaling
How semiconductor R&D enables the future
March 31, Omni Severin Hotel, Indianapolis
Organized by imec and Purdue University, supported by ARI
A pre-conference workshop at SEMIEXPO Heartland.
Semiconductor technologies are becoming increasingly ubiquitous and pivotal for improving the efficiency, resilience, and capabilities of most industries – including the more traditional ones. From production approaches to products, the demands and challenges for semiconductor technology are increasing rapidly.
To fulfill future computing needs, semiconductor technologies must take leaps forward. Performance and energy efficiency need to drastically improve, even though traditional ‘linear’ scaling is becoming ever more difficult. Meanwhile, concerns around the environmental impact of chip manufacturing need to be addressed.
Two of the most renowned institutions in semiconductor research, Purdue University and imec, are aiming to make significant contributions toward solving these challenges. They are combining their complementary strengths, building on recent breakthroughs, and connecting to the local semiconductor ecosystem to maximize impact.
Join this workshop to gain insights into the collaboration between imec and Purdue University, and the crucial role of semiconductor research in addressing the most pressing challenges in the semiconductor industry.
We encourage you to also register for SEMIEXPO Heartland, but this is not required to attend this workshop.
