Lucian Shifren (Suvolta) : Rise of depletion CMOS (today)

Title : Rise of depletion CMOS
Date : Oct 10, Wednesday
Place : CIS-X 101, Paul Allen Building
Time : 4:15pm

Abstract

The semiconductor industry is once again approaching a major turning point. CMOS physical scaling and Moore's law are ending. New device architectures, materials and lithography techniques are needed to reignite Moore's law. In this talk we will explore where we stand with scaling and Moore's law and also discuss two new device architectures (FinFET and DDC) which are potential candidates for current and future technology nodes.

 

Bio

Lucian Shifren, PhD

Sr. Director, Device Technology

Dr. Lucian Shifren is senior director of device technology at SuVolta. Prior to joining SuVolta in 2010, Lucian spent eight years at Intel as a staff engineer in the Process and Device Modeling Group, where he concentrated on device architecture and performance issues across a range of nodes – from 65nm to 15nm.  Amongst his accomplishments, Lucian wrote the first quantum mechanical self-consistent Monte Carlo simulator with full scattering terms and was instrumental in discovering the physics behind PMOS stress gain in MOSFETs. Lucian earned BS, MS and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from Arizona State University and an MBA from Portland State University.  As an author, Lucian has published over 25 refereed papers and has more than 20 patents pending or issued.
