Can we take cost out of technology scaling?
At The ConFab, IBM’s Gary Patton spoke about the future of scaling and concluded that it we will continue scaling with new technology innovation, but we have to figure out how to drive the cost out.
Three fundamental shifts
At The ConFab, IBM’s Gary Patton gave us three reasons to be very positive about the future of the semiconductor industry: an explosion of applications, the rise of big data and the need to analyze all that data.
The Rise of MEMS Sensors
Join us for a MEMS-focused webcast on Thursday, June 19th at 12:00pm Eastern time. Presenters will be Jay Esfandyari from STMicroelectronics and Simone Severi from imec.
The next big thing: IoT
The Internet of Things alone will surpass the PC, tablet and phone market combined by 2017.
GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ Kengeri to speak at The ConFab
Subramani Kengeri, Vice President, Advanced Technology Architecture at GLOBALFOUNDRIES will speak at The ConFab 2014 on the “techno-economics” of how the relatively small semiconductor industry ($350 billion or $0.35 trillion) is driving the $85 trillion gross world product (GWP).
What’s new in the latest ITRS
The latest ITRS highlights 3D power scaling, system level integration and a new chapter on big data.
IITC: New Materials for Advanced Interconnects
The 17th annual International Interconnect Technology Conference (IITC) will be held May 21 – 23, 2014 in conjunction with the 31st Advanced Metallization Conference (AMC) at the Doubletree Hotel in San Jose, California.
Extreme Stress for Existing Foundry/Fabless Model
The increased performance and the rapid shift from traditional handsets to consumer computing device post a number of manufacturing and supply chain challenges for fabless chip makers. The scale of the challenges also creates an “extreme stress” for the existing foundry/fabless model to defend its excellence in this dynamic landscape. Qualcomm’s Dr. Roawen Chen will discuss headwinds and opportunities in a keynote talk at The ConFab.
At The ConFab 2014: The Outlook for the Semiconductor Industry
The semiconductor market will continue at a steady growth rate for the next several years. For a semiconductor company to achieve significant growth in this ultra-competitive environment, it needs to identify market opportunities and predict the future, in terms of…
