Seminar Title: Let’s Brighten the Future of Microelectronics, Together!

Abstract: The speculated ending of Moore’s Law has created fear in the community—is it really ending soon? Hardly, it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy; it will end for those who believe the ending is nigh and can cause them to give up! This talk will revisit these historic predictions and their validity, the state and maturity of emerging devices in that context, and more importantly—largely ignored—promising system-level opportunities to play a critical role. The future is bright, and you can make it even more so!
