1.1 - Semiconductor Industry: Present & Future (Kevin Zhang)

Kevin Zhang, Senior Vice President, Business Development
& Overseas Operations Office, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company
Semiconductors are the foundation of today’s digital economy and are powering innovations that will shape the trajectory of human history. This paper highlights the latest progress of the semiconductor industry to support a vast spectrum of applications that have forever changed our lives. It gives insight into the paths of continued advanced technology scaling, the essential role of design-technology co-optimization (DTCO), and how system-level integration will elevate system performance to new heights. The advancements of semiconductors will enable many new innovations in artificial intelligence (AI), high-performance computing (HPC), wireless connectivity, and autonomous driving. The paper also provides the trends of technologies ranging from low-power and edge AI devices to cloudbased computing. By harnessing the new capabilities of semiconductors, these innovations will greatly improve productivity, efficiency, safety, as well as
sustainability. The semiconductor industry is indeed experiencing a “golden era” in spurring remarkable economic growth and unleashing innovations to create a better future for society.

I thought I would fall asleep but it made me stay awake whole night. It's outstanding!

[@AdvantestInc]

Dr. Zhang's point on semiconductors as the economy's backbone resonated deeply. In our experience, the integration of emerging memory technologies like RRAM is not just a trend but a necessity for future developments. It's fascinating to see how these innovations will shape the industry's path.

[@yinanna5125]

Agree!

[@krishnakumarshetti9334]

Very insightful talk! Thank you.

[@OneAngrehCat]

Good speech.
I particularly like the part at 3:55 where he explains that AI will shit the growth curve of the industry. Much foresight.

[@shinn-tyanwu4155]

Outstanding presentation 😊😊

[@dhaneshdprabhu7]

This is very nice to hear. As a masters student focussing in analog and RF, I'm interested to know how much analog design will prevail in lower technology nodes. I'm also keen on seeing how much analog will be used in AI/ML application like in memory computing, Oscillators for RADAR chirping and frequency synthesis

[@ristershah]

Thank you!

[@jdevoz]

Brilliant presentation!

[@dreamcid]

How do you think, when forksheet fet with Full bottom dielectric isolation will come. Impact of self heating effect in bottom dielectric isolation is not overcome

[@penguiburst]

talk was BOMB
