Beyond Transistor Scaling: New Devices for Ultra-low-energy Information Processing Tsu-Jae King Liu [Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, UC Berkeley] Abstract: The rapid growth of the semiconductor industry over the past four decades was enabled by the steady miniaturization of the transistor with each new generation of CMOS technology, which provided for continual improvements in integrated-circuit performance and cost per function. Transistor scaling has slowed recently, however, due to fundamental limits leading to increases in power density. In this seminar, I will discuss alternative switching device designs that can potentially overcome the energy-efficiency limitations of CMOS technology to help usher in the Age of Ubiquitous Computing. Biography: Tsu-Jae King Liu received the BS, MS and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. She joined the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center as a Member of Research Staff in 1992, to research and develop polycrystalline-silicon thin-film transistor technologies for flat-panel display applications. In August 1996 she joined the faculty of the University of California at Berkeley, where she is now Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) and Associate Dean for Research in the College of Engineering. Her awards include the Ross M. Tucker AIME Electronics Materials Award (1992) for seminal work in polycrystalline silicon-germanium thin films, an NSF CAREER Award …
