Semiconductor technology advancements have enabled the capability and cost of computing devices to improve exponentially over time, with transformative impact - witness the rise of cloud computing and the Internet of Things, which together with advances in machine learning have ushered in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Today’s leading-edge microprocessor chips comprise 80 billion transistors. The complexity of these semiconductor devices requires sophisticated design automation tools and manufacturing facilities, which are increasingly expensive and capital intensive: a leading-edge chip fabrication plant, or “fab,” costs roughly $10 billion. As a result, close collaboration between electronic design automation (EDA) companies, fabless chip design companies, chip manufacturers, wafer fabrication equipment (WFE) companies, materials suppliers, and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) companies is necessary to sustain the exponential pace of technology advancement.This seminar will begin by providing a high-level overview to explain why chips are considered “the new oil,” with a market projected to grow to $1T by the end of this decade. Then it will discuss challenges ahead for the industry and the need for new innovations and talent. As an example, integration of nano-electro-mechanical switches with conventional CMOS transistors to enable dramatic improvements in computational speed and energy efficiency will be described. The importance of a culture of inclusion for spurring innovation with maximum positive impact will also be discussed.Co-sponsored by: IEEE North Jersey SectionSpeaker(s): Prof. Tsu-Jae King Liu Agenda: Event Time: 2:15 PM to 4:30 PMCampus Center Ballroom2:30 PM Welcome and Opening Remarks by Dr. Misra, Chair CASS/EDS Chapter, Professor and Chair ECE Dept2:35 PM Talk by Prof. Tsu-Jae King Liu (Dean and Roy W.
