Annual Symposium Synopsys
Scaling of semiconductor devices has continued unabated for the past three
decades, and will likely continue for the near future. However, at the end of
this decade (ca. 2011), the nature of the silicon device is such that many
alternative approaches are likely to be viable contenders.
Electronic, photonic and communication device opportunities are emerging, but
require coordinated industrial efforts to realize their potential. Already, new
materials (SOI, SiGe, strained Si) are used in current production, high-k
dielectrics, fully metallic gates and more non-(Si, SiO2) are expected in the
coming generations. In addition, low dimension structures such as Fin-FETS are
being considered.
Yet, the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors does not identify
logic devices beyond CMOS, which presents a unique opportunity for the research
community to influence the future of technology. Consequently, this symposium
will address the role of several prospective technologies in creating new device
options in the post-2011 era (sub-10 nm equivalent technologies). It will
provide a forum for the presentation of new designs, processes, devices,
architectures, and characterization at the nanoscale. Content will be mindful of
the rigors of the existing roadmaps and their associated infrastructure, but
will also explore extensions to the roadmap in alignment with industry, SIA and
governmental initiatives.

Submit Proposal or Comment to Committee Chair
We encourage you to participate and to submit your interest as either an Scientific Committee Member or to organize a Scientific Committee*. The NSTI will provide the infrastructure for each Industrial Committee to organize and present a focused Symposium at the annual Nanotech Conference and Trade Show (Nanotech 2008, Boston, Massachusetts, June 1-5, 2008). Details will be provide upon approval of proposal.
* All submissions will be reviewed by the NSTI Scientific Committee
Chairs and a timely response will be issued.
