Munushian Seminar - Tsu-Jae King Liu

Speaker: Dr. Tsu-Jae King Liu, UC Berkeley

Talk Title: Moore’s Law - What’s Next?

Abstract: Steady miniaturization of transistor has yielded continual improvements in integrated-circuit (IC) performance
and cost per function over the past four decades, resulting in the proliferation of information processing technology
with dramatic impact on virtually every aspect of life in modern society. Continued transistor scaling will not be as straightforward in the future as it has been in the past, however, as fundamental limits are approached. This is already
apparent from the slowdown in voltage scaling, which has added a new constraint for IC design and exacerbates the emerging issue of electronics energy consumption. This seminar will present a vision of the future of information processing devices and discuss alternative approaches for improving their functionality, cost per function and energy efficiency to usher in the Age of Ambient Intelligence to the benefit of our global society.

Biography: Tsu-Jae King Liu received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering
from Stanford University. From 1992 to 1996 she was a Member of Research Staff at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (Palo Alto, CA). In August 1996 she joined the faculty of the University of California, Berkeley, where she is currently the Conexant Systems Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS), and Associate Chair of the EECS Department.
Dr. Liu’s awards include the DARPA Significant Technical Achievement Award (2000) for development
of the FinFET, the IEEE Kiyo Tomiyasu Award (2010) for contributions to nanoscale MOS transistors, memory devices, and MEMs devices, and the Intel Outstanding Researcher in Nanotechnology Award (2012). She has authored or co-authored over 450 publications and holds 88 U.S. patents, and is a Fellow of the IEEE. Her research activities are presently in nanometer-scale logic and memory devices, and advanced materials, process technology and devices for energy-efficient electronics.
