Abstract

CMOS it the technology used for modern electronics. CMOS technology continues to advance because the number of transistors on a CMOS chip continues to double each technology generation. Device designers face many challenges as they scale (i.e. shrink) transistors in order to place more on a chip. The designers of billion transistor chips face a different set of challenges. Some are caused by the changing characteristics of devices as they get smaller. Others have to do with the delays cause by the wires used to connect all these transistors. Still others are caused by the large numbers of devices on a chip.

This talk is an elementary introduction to CMOS technology. It will begin by explaining what “CMOS�? stands for. It is designed to be accessible to the nonspecialist with an elementary understanding of transistors. My purpose is to explain the basic system considerations that designers deal with and to identify the challenges to maintaining progress in CMOS electronics.

Biography

Mark Lundstrom is the Don and Carol Scifres Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University where his teaching and research center on the physics, technology, and simulation of electronic devices. Lundstrom is the founding director of the NSF-funded Network for Computational Nanotechnology, which has a mission of research, education, leadership, and service to the nation’s National Nanotechnology Initiative. He serves on the leadership councils of the NASA-funded Institute for Nanoelectronics and Computing and the MARCO Focus Center for Materials, Structures, and Devices. Lundstrom’s work has been recognized by several awards, most recently, in 2005, from the Semiconductor Industry Association in recognition of his career contributions to the semiconductor industry.

    0   0   Login to vote I noticed that the presentation consisted of slides taken from previous presentations such as Moore's Law forever and Nanoelectronics 101. I thought that the presentation could be better improved if the slides showed certain aspects indicated by the professor which were not followed in the slide. ETC. I didn't know where the professor meant when he pointed out some data on graphs. However, I still learned a lot about CMOS from the presentation.

    0   0   Login to vote I really liked the tone of this lecture - hearing of the dangers of "too small" is a nice change of pace after so many lectures on the boons of nanotechnology (referring to leakage power, fundamental limitations, and the like). I definitely feel that I have a much more firm understanding of the basic challenges in the future of computational science. However, the lack of interactivity within the slides really kills the presentation. The entire discussion of the circuits in the CMOS Tutorial was lost on me because the slides had no pointers to go along with the speaker when he said, "this does _____." A pointer or a box with highlighted the region as the speaker spoke would have really helped a non-EE to appreciate the topics at hand. In short, I really enjoyed the presentation, but I definitely feel that I missed out on important aspects, largely due to my lack of a background in the subject of circuits.
