The exponential increase of world energy demand, with a forecasted rise of 45% between 2010 and 2030, makes energy management one of the most urgent topics of the century and a key driver for semiconductors and electronics products evolution. The main solutions for world energy demand and global warming issues have been divided in two main streams: an increasing offer from alternative energy sources and their integration into the new Smart Grid and a reduction of the demand through an increase in the efficiency of systems.","PeriodicalId":205976,"journal":{"name":"Design, Automation and Test in Europe","volume":"322 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121484369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

About 5 bn or three quarters of the world population is using mobile phones. Internet enabled mobile phones at affordable cost will be the most common internet access device in the near future. At the high end powerful and versatile smartphones need faster and more energy efficient semiconductors.\u0000 The presentation will start with a brief summary of the paradigm shifts in the \"mobile world\" from voice calls to data transmission and the current situation in the renascent mobile ecosystem. The entry of powerful internet and consumer brands and now even luxury designer brands into the mobile handset arena mark the start of a new era changing the dynamics in this field.\u0000 Today, fabless or fab-lite business models are common in the wireless semiconductor value chain. In this model vendors differentiate through services, architectures, design but also their capability to extract maximum product benefits in density, power consumption, performance, functionality and robustness/yield from a standard CMOS process. In the highly competitive mobile phone market growth and profit depends on differentiation by innovation. This requires technology know-how being effectively transferred into the design system and application specific device structures to create optimized circuits.","PeriodicalId":205976,"journal":{"name":"Design, Automation and Test in Europe","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133244238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As we celebrate this remarkable achievement of our industry that forms the ever-expanding technology basis of modern society we cannot help but ponder the question of how we can continue to push the envelope of nano-electronics. With the end of Si FET scaling appearing increasingly near, searching for more scalable transistor structures in Si and in \"beyond-Si\" solutions has become imperative; from relatively \"easy\" transitions to non-planar Si structures, to the incorporation of high mobility semiconductors, like Ge and III-V's, to even higher mobility new materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, or other molecular structures. And even further, there are searches for new information representation and processing concepts beyond charge in FETs, as for example, in spin-state devices. Of course, declaring silicon dead is premature at best, and with this in mind I will discuss the challenges and possible scenaria for the introduction of novel nano-electronic devices.","PeriodicalId":205976,"journal":{"name":"Design, Automation and Test in Europe","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122082643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
