Title: 3D FinFET and Other Sub-22nm Transistors

Abstract: MOSFET are undergoing the most drastic transformation in four decades. Why is the change needed? What are the new transistors and how do they break down the barriers between now and at least 10nm? What else may be forthcoming?

Keynote Biography: Dr. Chenming Hu is the TSMC Distinguished Chair Professor in Graduate School at University of California, Berkeley. He serves on the board of SanDisk Corp. and the nonprofit Friends of Children with Special Needs. From 2001 to 2004 he was the Chief Technology Officer of TSMC. He is best known for leading the development of the first industry standard transistor model that is used worldwide in IC product design, and FinFET--the 3-D transistor that will be used in 22nm IC technology and beyond. IEEE called him "Microelectronics Visionary" when it presented him the Nishizawa Medal for "achievements critical to producing smaller yet more reliable and higher-performance integrated circuits". US Semiconductor Industry Association awarded him for "advancement of the electronics industry and of our national economy". He has authored four books and 900 research papers and received over 100 US patents. Dr. Hu is honored with membership in three national academies -- US National Academy of Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Academia Sinica. He also received UC Berkeley's highest honor for teaching -- the Berkeley Distinguished Teaching Award. Dr. Hu received B.S. degree from National Taiwan University and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from University of California, Berkeley, all in electrical engineering.
