    Abstract:

    The semiconductor technology is the backbone of the electronics
    industry. Every new generation of this technology allows the creation
    of chips with further miniaturization and higher performance. This
    potentially increases the functions that an electronic product could
    offer to the end-user. Although adding such new functions do benefit
    the end-user, but they also necessitate finer and denser semiconductor
    fabrication processes. This densification makes chips more susceptible
    to defects. The challenges with today's very deep-submicron
    semiconductor technologies are that we are reaching defect
    susceptibility levels that result in lowering the manufacturing yield
    and field reliability. This lecture will present an introduction to
    modern semiconductors, as well as the basic trends and the main
    challenges in semiconductor technology. It will also discuss the
    increasing requirements for more reliable electronics products and the
    necessary optimization approaches to improve manufact! urability.

    Presenter:

    Sr. Yervant Zorian is the Vice President and Chief Scientist of Virage
    Logic Corp. Previously, he was Distinguished Member of Technical Staff
    at AT&T Bell Laboratories, and Chief Technology Advisor of
    LogicVision, Inc. He serves on the board of directors and technical
    advisory boards of several private and publicly traded companies. His
    scientific activities cover the areas of embedded IP cores, SOC and
    System-in-Package design & test methodologies. Zorian received an MSc
    degree from the University of Southern California, and a PhD from
    McGill University.

    He is currently the Vice President of IEEE Computer Society and the
    Editor-in-Chief Emeritus of IEEE Design & Test of Computers
    Magazine. He has chaired the IEEE Test Technology Technical Council
    and founded several IEEE conferences and workshops. He is the founder
    and chair of the IEEE P1500 Working Group for standardization of
    embedded core test. He has published three books, several book
    chapters and over 300 papers. He has been granted a dozen US patents
    in the domain of embedded test and repair and has received a number of
    Best Paper Awards. He was recently selected among the top thirteen
    influencers on semiconductor technology worldwide. He is an honorary
    doctor of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia and a Fellow of
    the IEEE.
