| Summary: | Since the advent of bipolar transistor at Bell AT&T laboratories, the
constant development of electronics industry over the past six decades
have pushed the size of active semiconductor devices to its boundaries.
The Moore's law which dictated doubling speed and halving physical
dimensions every 18 months is now facing its end pretty soon. Current
commercial technology is now being limited to the atomic spacing on one
hand, and power density on the other hand. Solar power as well as quantum
computing are also another relevant areas which would need certain
physical implementations and materials. In short, the moving force and
economic power behind this industry is enormous, however, technological
bottlenecks are real and showing themselves very clearly now.
Directions which may ultimately alleviate these restrictions are not too
many, including two-dimensional nano-electronics, memristive networks,
spintronics, compound semiconductor devices, optoelectronics
interconnects, just to mention a few.
This talk will address two important paradigms in this area
1) What are the real challenges in this technology?
2) What are the roots of retardation in our country and what can be done
to merge into the international efforts?
I will try to plant seeds to resolve some of the most basic
misunderstandings in our academia and redirect the technology investments
into a much more fruitful direction, with hopes that the next generation
of our experts will have a much wider and relaxed atmosphere to excel and
prosper. |
